Love them or hate them, Jagex have made 1 of the biggest mmo's around, and getting the official licence from Hasbro means they see something too.

Either way i'm sure it will end up better than the War for Cybertron games did.

how do you see the new mmo going?

I can't see how this is going to be successful... but what do I know, I don't make these types of games. I play them.

Jagex is seriously making this? Well, I wouldn't bother playing it, they ruined runescape, they will ruin this one. I dislike Jagex.

the main problem with runescape is the bots, i think the rest of the game isn't bad.
I'd like to know more about transformers though as in if it would be click to move or not.

They nuked the bots, 98% of the bots are gone now.
Back on topic now, if they are making it click to move, that will make it even worse, it needs to be the wasd keys to move, it's the standard classic and easiest way to move in games.

well... click to move isn't 2 bad, i mean, Diablo series was very enjoyable for me, but i do agree with it needing to be wasd, it will make the game go at a seemingly faster pace, especially for pvp.

Right, like minecraft, I wouldn't be able to fight if we had to click to move, I would have never bought the game if we had to.

I have to say, if its anything like Runescape it will fail.
A thing I can see being successful is some Transformer version with Guild Wars 2 customization and dynamic (Evolving etc.) land, and DC Universe's combat and movement etc.

i have also just learnt it will be based on the 2011 tv series (cartoon), which i am about to start watching to get an idea of how it will be.

So Autobot or Decepticon Wratkie? =p
and anyone else who wants to join in the chat =p

To be honest I hope they let you create more than one character per account like:

-Have an Account Name you log in with
-Then have the option to chose one of your created characters (ex. Wratkie, Wratkie2, Wratkie_Auto) or create a new character
    (have a limit on the amount of characters per account, say like 3)
 
But if it's team oriented like Auto v. Decept...
And you only get one choice...

I've always wanted to make a really strong "Bad Guy" Character (that overpowers the "Good Guys") on games where you have a choice, but haven't yet.
Edit: This depends how they set up Leveling or adding skill points to stats.

So if you can only make one character per account I think I might go with Decepticon for a main account.

I hope that Minecraft remains better than that game so that I would play Minecraft. >.<

it will be auto vs decepticon for sure, in 1 of the interviews they spoke of the fierce and long wars they've had.
they said there will be a free part to the game, so i'll guess that it could possibly be like runescape with 1 character per account (i don't have proof)

i would be a decepticon, but i'd worry that everyone will be 1 and pvp will not be balanced, so i'd probably go autobot.

as for leveling and skills and stuff, what i HAVE heard is that you will be upgrading/updating guns (i guess melee also) but nothing on skills or anything like that.

That would be the best way, also being able to upgrade armor strength is a possibility.

Yeah i'm sure it'll just be a tree thing with a couple of skills where you transform your arm into a cannon or something (that was a kill streak reward from battle for cybertron) and some others to add attributes and base "toughness" type things. i doubt it will stray 2 far from the norm, hope we get a surprise though.

Yeah nothing like fishing or junk, but basics like strength, speed, power stuff like that if they had it wouldn't bother me. say you get a few points per level and you build a nice character, with "class builds" like full strength (hate full strength classes), I like those kind of systems. but also with upgrades!

lol a transformer fishing would be hilarious.

i wonder if you can enter human towns and interact with them also, should be interesting

One of the interviews said it was in the prime universe or something so I don't think they are planning humans right now at least

but here's that link:

I think that the prime universe is the 2011 cartoon series "Transformers: Prime" which was set on earth outside a small American town. But also they said there'd be bits from other stuff and that they could take it down their own storyline.

Don't hold me to any of that though. =P
