So how many of you think International Ragnarok Online will manage to cough up enough cash shop money to get a stand at next years E3?


I'm guessing- never.



Also I realize you might have thought this was something about a stand this year. How could you be so hopeful? This is iRO, not Blizzard.

[Akihiro]

It never really came to mind. No one cares about MMOs of our scale at E3.

[Wiggles]

What a stupid investment of money. I would be amazed if Gravity did it. Actually, no, I wouldnt. Because they love doing stupid things.


Noone in the rest of the world cares about E3. Sorry.

They'd be better off going to something like PAX, as not only is it a lot cheaper, but it's attended by actual gamers rather than media and suits.

I think it's very difficult to sell MMORPGs (of any sort) at a busy conference at E3. You can't get a really good feel for the depth of a online persistant game through a 10-15 minute demo.

If you want to talk IRO at E3, I want some RO2 goodness myself. And, what I'm most hpyed about is Nintendo's new system which according to them is significantly more powerful than the PS3 and x360. Some info on it has been confirmed already... Super Smash Bros 4 as a launch title would be a super killer app.

I was surprised by the Vita price reveal, very reasonable from the looks of it. I'm not too sure about the strategy of putting a console on a handheld, here in the states at least there really aren't situations where you have long Japan-like commutes that warrant long gameplay sessions. The handheld market seems to be leaning more towards tiny iphone games that can be played while waiting in line, not full games.

Personally I'd love to put one of our games on steam/PSN/XBLA

Yeah, about that... These games are confirmed on Nintendo's new system and it looks amazing. PS3 or higher quality and this is only the first pass.

Gravity was at E3 a long time ago. Had a very nice set-up showing off RO. They even has a wonderful presentation. Watching that is what got me into play RO in the first place.

[Heimdallr]

I wouldn't be surprised if we DON"T do a booth at E3, it is much more cost effective to not do those types of expos.

Expos are poor advertising platforms unless you are showing off alot of new contents and games. I would never consider showing up with only 1 new game (even if it was a huge AAA title)

I actually did enjoy our expo tables, but the best we would spend on would be a small 10x 10 booth, not the floor to ceiling apartment sized booth with half a million dollars in stuff in there.

Considering this, what game would you want to put there?


I mean, if you really want to expand and gain more players and you're not really getting the amazing increase you want then asking to team up or be featured elsewhere is something that might be viable.

Do you have any ideas about raising iRo's popularity? Besides the obvious game-fixing and content implementation.

Getting the game on steam would be amazing considering you'd actually be able to use steam's overlay.

[Maka]

I wish you'd put one of your games on iOS/Android
That game would be RO. Only make it a free app download

Probably would be best to restrict it to tablets.

If this game goes to steam I will buy it before playing it.

Did you see their crappy press conference? They don't even know what they're making yet. Half of the devs called it a controller, the others called it a console, and Nintendo called it a system. And regardless of whether it's more powerful than a PS3, the demos they showed certainly didn't look better than a PS3.

I guess we have to wait a while and see.

That's what it is. They know what the core audience wants! Right?..

[FoxyWoxy]

did gravity change their name to iRO or something? we're not actually talking about putting a 10(?) year old game at e3 are we?

I was there at Anime Expo in 2004 when Ragnarok had a booth, and handed out a CD with the installation files on it.

That's how I started playing. :]

They like being trolled. That's the only explanation I can comprehend.
