Mark of a good game: how much there is to talk about

[Dharus]

But all of that discussion is based on a game mechanic of server vs server play. I don't see it as better game because of that discussion. Most decent games have some level of discussions. PotBS had a lot on each port battle won or lost and ww2o had on the fly side chat discussions and battle chat with very little forum chat. Both were decent games but with different mechanics.

So I see discussion as a product of mechanics good or bad. There could be a view that less forum chat means more people actively playing vs chatting.
