Coding for an MMIO is not going to be functionally different than coding for an arena game. You understan that, yeah?
Also, I am pretty sure they did do MMO.
100000% agree with everything you posted. I was thinking that the legendary item was literally the predecessor to Legions artifacts, only 10 years before.
Those three content cycles of LOTRO was absolutely next level and I honestly believe the only reason LOTRO was put on Life Support was because WoW was legit an absolute titan and quite good too. (very much unlike current retail).
I donât think you understand how coding for a game works. Functionally theyâre all the same (As is all code really). Itâs the library usage and the approaches that differentiate.
Blizzardâs engine != Spellbreakerâs engine.
I have no doubt the devs can pickup WoWâs processes quickly enough. My concerns lie in their lack of networking knowledge. MMOâs are a whole different beasts when it comes to net code.
So now that you have the people, can under served races finally have those new customizations that we were promised, then didnât get for over a year, then only a select few races got any?
As I said in my post, they also worked on LOTRO which is an MMO.

Thanks for the correction! I agree with your assessment, too.
I really like this but i recently came across with Spellbreak (a game of Proletariat) and actually fell in love with the game.
The sad part is that due to the acquisition the game will now close (im already aware that the devs kinda gave up on it) and it will be so painful to see it gone 
I was looking forward to be more engaged with the game and so eager to see what will come after but now⌠pure sadness
Really wish they could come up with a solution to not close it and use now the concentrated efforts on it to improve it even more, i dont think that is really that hard to keep them both but yeah thats just my ignorance speaking.
Hoping they have lore/narrative experts that can help out! Seriously though, this is good news and I am glad to see it!!
Well, That is interesting! With all these developers, I hope we have a better developed expansion incoming!
Weak pun aside, this is actually exciting, Back in the day LOTRO was kind of on par with WOW, and that was in the age LOTRO was under Turbine! With these guys with WOW now, that means (hopefully) good things ahead for development!
Welcome to the Jungle, we got fun and games!
Iâm not really why people seem to be excited about this acquisition. Blizzard just bought developers who were responsible for games like Farmville. Such talented developers are surely going to help out with Blizzardâs secret plans to further monetize games all across the board. I hope you saved some of your Zynga bucks to buy those extra poniesâŚ

Darlinâ, it is 2022, itâs gonna be nigh impossible to find any group of devs that hasnât (or isnât) working on mobile games. Should they just⌠not hire ever again?
So are they working on story and quest content? Dungeons & raids? PvP? All of the above?

Horse recolors.
In all seriousness, this is good news.
Blaming the art/sound department is not fair. It boils down to a few key players who âenvisionâ the game as they like to, which resulted in the problems we have.
I would prefer that the proles seize the means of production (Blizzard) lol

Blizzard openly admits to being unable to develop their own games in transition to pure publishing house. Hopefully this is a return to form of MAKING games, not paying someone else to make them for the Brand.
Hopefully not the same people that worked on the microtransaction system in lotro. Then again maybe theyâre preparing to make wow f2p and theyâre about to expand the store exponentially. Iâm just being silly. That would never happen. Ever.
