RPG Devs Should Beware MMOGs · Slashdot Mirror

CVG is reporting on comments made by Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart. In an interview with the site, he points out that traditional PC RPG developers are in danger of permanently losing out to the developers of Massively Multiplayer Online Games. "He believes it's key that developers of non-MMO RPGs look closely at what the genre offers over MMORPGs to ensure the RPG genre doesn't lose out to the increasingly popular massively multiplayer online world. 'I think those of us that make non-MMO RPGs need to look at what a single-player/small multiplayer RPG can do that MMOs can't and spend our time and effort on those things', Urquhart said. "

I work full-time as a system admin, I have three kids under age 7 and a wife. Yet I still manage to spend at least four hours a day logged into EVE-Online (granted most of that time is spent mining haha). Having a family is a poor excuse for not being able to log some serious mmorpg time.
