Perfectcompetition.net

Why are other MMOG sites such as There and Second_Life allowed to have a page whereas this one is claimed to be an advertisement? SLWK 11:56, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Well, it depends on a variety of factors, including whether the company itself or someone associated with it made the page, how many people play the game (e.g. how notable it is) and so on. For what it's worth, 159 google hits on "perfectcompetition". Meelar (talk) 15:43, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. It appears to be a very, very minor online game: Google shows 159 hits, most for something else, and no links. The forums only have about 100 posts, and are password-protected, so I can't check how long a time period that covers. --Carnildo 23:43, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It is fairly new. Launched a few weeks ago. The thing about the game is that it is unique. It is a new genre of MMOG. Whereas There, Second Life etc are all roughly carbon copies of each other. SLWK 06:42, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

If it's only a few weeks old, then maybe in a year or so, it'll be big enough for an article. And as for MMOGs all being like each other, as a former player of Astronest, RuneScape, Everquest, and There, and a current player of Second Life and StarStrike, I can assure you they are not "carbon copies" of each other. StarStrike, for example, is similar to AstroNest, but the turn-based combat of AstroNest and the turn/time hybrid of StarStrike are nothing like the real-time action of Everquest and RuneScape. Further, There is basically a glorified chatroom, and the only thing I've found approaching Second Life's ability to modify the game world is the Open Source Metaverse Project. --Carnildo 07:20, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
