FFXI GIL- a Huge Demographic of Superhero MMO Gamers

While I do not believe that there is a huge demographic of superhero MMO gamers out there, perhaps there is something that Cryptic Studios and Sony Online Entertainment know that I do not. Either way about FFXI GIL, players who were bored with the monopoly that City of Heroes had on the superhero MMO market can now breathe sighs of relief as we will end up seeing two more of these super-powered monstrosities charging their way into the industry. While I am certain that they will all boast unique features and fun game play about FFXI GIL, what worries me most is my personal belief that there just is not enough superhero pie to go around. Will the next five years also see the shutting down of a superhero MMO or two?

What they need to do to succeed: Personally speaking, the biggest problem I have with superhero MMOs is the fact that you start with a lot of things that most MMOs use to tempt players. For example, players can create a wickedly awesome costume in Champions Online, and because players start with their wickedly awesome costume, this sort of negates the main reason why I look forward to new armour in the first place. A friend of mine also whined about the lure of games like City of Heroes about FFXI GIL, and he opined that the games real appeal was simply in creating fantastical characters. To me, whichever superhero MMO that can somehow grow to become more than just making a superhero and getting bigger explosive powers will probably be the one that lasts in this competitive market. They need to figure out how to attract MMO gamers beyond your average comic book fan about FFXI GIL!

This just about wraps up Part I of what I intend to be a three part series. Remember, I can not cover everything I want in every upcoming MMO genre, so if you have something that you really expect from our upcoming next-gen MMORPGs, be sure to leave a comment and lead a discussion!
