There was a time MMORPG's were developed for the players, with choices, communities, lore, challenges, world events etc. This type of game and development has seemed to slip away in an attempt to grab as much money from the loyal fan base before closing the doors. The time has come to bring back what made MMORPG's immersive and worth playing longer than a few months to a year.
Turbine, Inc. has the resources and the IP to create a game that would re-define the genre and bring back the aspect of gaming that so many people crave. The current state of MMORPG's have become stale with what we call, "theme park", these games do not allow players to venture off the beaten path and thus causes stale game play that loses the players and hurts retention. Turbine, Inc. in the past has shown they can develop a game that allows players to go down any path they choose with skills, attributes, character customization, alliances, armors, weapons etc.
So, why should you care about signing this petition? Because even if you do not like MMORPG's, gaming or even Asheron's Call; you are helping fix a genre that many people do enjoy and have poured blood, sweat and tears into. Your signature shows Turbine, Inc. that they have people willing to support them and their ability to create games that the players want and need. Let's show Turbine, Inc. that we believe they can make the right decision and we believe they can turn a failing genre around and bring back the type of gaming experience we want and deserve!
