I'll certainly be interested to hear how 1C intend to acomplish this MMO (even though I have zero interest in buying it.... Simply because I personally don't wish to pay subscription fees).

The thing is, both from a point of view of difficulty and hardware requirements, the CloD engine is simply not suited to a classic MMO scenario.

By definition an MMO needs a massive online community to be financially successful. The steep learning curve involved in mastering even basic flight in CloD will immediately alienate all but those currently involved in the niche flight sim market, and the need for high spec PC's to get the best performance will alienate even more people. As far as ground vehicles go, well load up CloD and change your GFX settings to medium or low and then ask yourself honestly if driving around on that landscape or manning a stationary AA gun with those graphics is an experience you'd pay a monthly fee for.

Hopefully the patch they're currently working on will be a success and by increasing frame rates overall allow lower spec PC's to bump up the GFX settings a little. If so, it would make the possibilities of an MMO based on this engine succeeding that much better.

Whatever they do, I hope 1C are unltimatelysuccessful, but at the moment I'm skeptical, and will remain so until I see some more information from the devs.

No no, they said the alpha in 2013... Oh wait, I see what you did there. ;)

2013 Alpha...2014 2nd Alpha...2015 Pre-Beta...2016 Alpha of Beta...2017 Beta... etc

Its not even in Alpha and it is already beaten ;)

I´m disappointed, only three pages since I leave yesterday :sad:

after sleeping over the thought of an IL2 MMO, i have to say, that i personally will certainly not pay a monthly fee to fly a combat flight sim....not because i couldnt afford it, but simply because i have enough bills every month to pay which are annoying enough...
honestly, if they would build a top notch working sim, i would gladly pay a couple of hundred euros even, but only if things like flight models were as close to reality as possible....
and there the problem starts in my view regarding an il2 MMO....
if they cant even get the FMs correctly in this game, after more than a decade in business, and make them even worse with the latest beta patch, how are they supposed to make them closer to reality in a MMO game.
they will for sure not make them as realistic as possible and historical correct, but they will have to make them even, to secure "playability" for both sides, were you are forced to fly on one server under certain circumstances....thats my biggest concern...anyway i will have to convince my squad mates to switch from our beloved 109s to the ugly Mustang then and fight other Mustangs.

Hehehe..........the ugly Mustang?...........this was probably the most beautiful and best fighter of WW2,it was the only aircraft of it's time to be able to escort the American bombers all the way to Berlin,and was far superior to the 109's of the late war,by then the 109 was completely out classed.:lol:

Diablo 3 is a MMO and does not have a monthly fee, you just buy the game and that´s it.

Knowing the inclinations of Madoxx to merge things maybe we are facing something new in the MMO arena, just saying ;)

Most MMO's seem to depend on a steady diet of additional content to keep them attractive to players. Maddox Games has always added new content at a glacial pace. I wonder what changes if any would be made to the way MG works if they are the ones producing this title.

Oh well.......................

And what type of content is now in CLOD?
