Agreed. Asia has Shot Online! too -- a MMO golf RPG. Yes, you read that right, a MMO golf RPG. They'll play anything over there, apparently. (For the record, I played the game and it's a good game, but... I can't fathom playing it all the time).
Nexon makes Shattered Galaxy though too ( definitely non-cute game), which was a pretty good game until it got to the point nobody playing spoke English anymore. | |

Re: cute sells!The idea of selling avatars, and accessories sounds very familiar to another Online game Gunbound. It's a WORMS-esque style game full of avatars and things for players to waste money on. I think it either started in Korea or Taiwan. It is available in English as well. » gunbound.softnyx.net/ | |

Re: cute sells!Yeah, lots of MMO games are doing things like that now. Hell, GunZ Online Korea Edition makes money by selling premium items for your characters. The game itself is free and so is playing it. The newly launched GunZ International Edition is expected to do the same thing, whenever they finish the beta. | |

Golf RPG? Is it like Mario Golf on the GBC? That had an RPG mode, the gba version probably did too. | |

what a racist. what are you going to say when they run the world? hello sir? the Chinese, a Communist country will own America in 20 years thanks to Mr. Bush and his deficit. how about smart. | |

Re: cute sells!What makes you think I'm a racist? They have weird culture and habits. Japanese sex culture is just freaking sick! They eat all kinds of 'food' and obviously they have a bunch of weird games that are so extremely popular in Asia but not anywhere else. I wonder why?? They are WEIRD. I agree with the Bush remark but let's leave politics out of it | |

it's all relativeThe funny thing about statements like that is that they usually go both ways, i.e. they (Asians) could easily say the same thing about us Westerners. For example: "They have weird culture and habits. (obsession with guns, religion and "reality" TV, celebrity worship, paying athletes and celebrities obscene amounts of money while say, teachers get next to nothing) American sex culture is just freaking sick (won't go into detail)! They eat all kinds of 'food' (Twinkies, Thickburgers, purple ketchup, fried candybars, pork rinds, etc.) and obviously they have a bunch of weird games that are so extremely popular in America but not anywhere else. (Football, NASCAR, Beer Pong) I wonder why??
They are WEIRD."I just might have sushi for lunch. | |

Re: it's all relativeTrue but I never said western cultures are perfect either. Even though people eat all kinds of stuff you can't really compare Asian restaurant menus with the ones we prefer.
BTW this is mostly a western website. So we talk about other peoples and don't care much about their opinions. | |

I cant personally stand them.. They walk around our country all third world, drive with white gloves and strange full facial visors (wtf is that?), hang their stupid Asian wind chime good luck trinkets from there rear view mirrors, while cramming as many stuffed animals in the back windows of their cars as they can possibly fit. Act all timid like your going to stab then as you walk past them on the street. Stink up the lunch area with that rancid fish smell that seems to linger for a whole week straight.. They act is if they are the only ones that exist on the planet. Which i commonly refer to as the "Asian wonderland" Its a place where you can suddenly pull into a lane without looking or signaling and almost cause a serious accident, and other times needing to get into a lane, that is clearly safe to merge in, and checking to see if its safe for over a mile.. They seem to like to stand uncomfortably close to the person in front of them at ANY situation. They do not believe in personal space. As noted, play strange online games, and seem to be very addicted to "hello kitty" in mass numbers.
I could go on.. but i don't play starcraft. | |

StarcraftI quit playing that game a long time ago.
I think the final thread for me was the backstabbing by asian players who'd insist I sent them a private message laced with epithets. The only joy I had after that was watching the rubes who believed him get backstabbed in turn. | |

Re: StarcraftHaha, it happens all the time.
Not to mention the fact that the game was so easily exploitable... Programs called 'ladder bots' could get you ranked at 9999 in the ladder in under a day, as long as you had two valid CD keys (not hard to get with 'social engineering'). | |

$$ for itemsA few games I played that are Asian that charge for premium items are Gunbound, Maple Story. The only us based game I think is Puzzle Pirates. The game makers in Korea saw a niche to be filled since they saw how people were willing to buy game pieces/characters from ebay and what not. They just filled a niche and have a first to market advantage. Personally if I bought the game, I rather not pay for a item, but since these games are free paying to get a item seems affordable, at the time. It's only after playing for a while does a user realize the amount of money they spent to get those items. Also charging for items helps they pay for the servers and what not, just like how people pay monthly fees for everquest and other games that require monthly fees. A big reason why the kart game got off so well it feeds off the ability to showcase your "ride". It's like any other car game where the point is to earn items to trick/rice out your ride, just with Kart Rider you play for free and if you WANT you can pay for a premium item. This leads me to wonder how Guild Wars will cover the costs of servers. I think the idea of virtual advertising may be of use to them.
***EDIT*** A mistake I thought I made, but I thus realized it was not a mistake. | |

A true stay at home jobThanks to the early games like Ultima Online, it appears that there has been a cottage industry growing.
With such games people sign up, and play just to gather resources, rare items, or build uber accounts. Their only intent is then to sell the stuff on ebay, hopefully making a profit for the time it took them.
Which leds to a news story a few months ago, about an "online" sweat shop being busted. The ring leader "forved" the sweat shop workers to log on and play, then paid them very little for their time. | |
