Note: If there's already a thread discussion that is the same as this one, please post the link and go ahead and close this thread if it is not needed.

I've heard quite a few talk about this idea, and it's a controversial one. Some who speak for it would think that it would be an exciting, massive fight fest between all of the favored MMORPGs. The anticipation for a large PvP competitions only blocks the mind from the type of issues for the process of this 'idea'. There have been others who say that despite the wonderful enthusiasm things about pairing games to each other would simply not let it happen, like for instance different functions. I've already seen the opposing view point over ruling these discussions, but now I'd like to know what fellow GW players here think about the idea of GW pairing off with other favored games as well.

You can shun the idea, or praise it with passion, but at least put some support for your opinion and/or explanations. It would make for a sensible discussion.

WTF? I'm not sure I understand.
So... Tabula Rasa + GW + CoH + AoC = Random Arenas where barbarians are shoting plasma bolts out of their hands at rangers headshotting them with assault rifles?

If you mean, like companies working to create collaborative efforts, its called buyouts and mergers. Soon, everything will be owned by microsoft one day.

Yes, mergers. I knew I forgot a crucial word in my introduction.

Developers already use ideas from other games and integrate them into their own...

Fixed. They're just as evil, but at least they're more transparent about it.

@op Getting different game engines and game severs to cooperate and finding/making balances among wildly different game mechanics, its honestly far more effort then its worth for what is in essence a gimmickry marketing ploy.
