Defiance Renewed for a 2nd Season!

[SWFTWLF]

Next time on DBZ Goku powers up for the fight that you want to see... part 7, which means you only have 3 more episodes of powering up before the fight!

You forgot the subplot where some random character is healing up after a fight or King Kai just looks constipated for 10-15 minutes.

... or King Kai just looks constipated for 10-15 minutes.

He's building up a spirit bomb

Haha! Well I did say "I bet" because I wasn't around for the WoW release so I'm just speculating.... or baiting... I still haven't decided

As much as I hate myself for admit this... and as old as this makes me in gamer years... no thier wasn't.. almost but not quite... I was there.. but why would there of been... wasn't that big a thing yet.

In my day we had raid up hill... with no weather.. no voice chat either we used third party software with mics on wires... GET OFF MY LAWN!

Also yay on the show

Good news for the Defiance tv show.

For what we have seen, the CGI hasn't been great - just the standard you would expect. With the $100 million Syfy has invested, i hope to see the CGI take a larger share of that money pot so that we can indulge are self's within the experience of defiance that much more.

WoW, on the other hand, was only on the PC and only sold through brick-and-mortar retailers and Blizzard proper back during it's initial release - no digital downloads, no promises of DLC "fixing" the game, just a bunch of nerds that saved for over a decade after making Diablo and Warcraft RTS games to attempt to expand their Battle.net servers to a worldwide scale on a 3D role-playing game. Started with 6 races, all unique, and had a crapton of problems that were mitigated over the course of the year after it's release...

But in the first month, it had millions, yes, MILLIONS of people playing, fixing it, hell many people even took it to private servers for some years because they thought Blizzard wasn't handling their business right. But did they get mad? Nope - they hired many of the privateers when Blizzard officially stopped support of private servers to be GMs, programmers, etc. and with their combined works, now WoW is a (mostly) functional game. The funny part about all of this? Many of these things were done before 2006.

There's also a huge difference between a game that already has tens of millions of fans loyal to its IP, and a brand new, unknown title. We simply can't compare WoW and Defiance as equals in challenge or success.

It was a $100m for both the show and the game, roughly split in half.

What is with these disappointing ~10 episode "seasons"? Heck, the CW network had enough confidence in "Arrow" to go almost 25 episodes in its first season.

At this point almost all of SyFy shows are on a 10/13 episode season. It's just the way the network does things.

Of course it is! Great show + great game = WIN!

Over 1 Million registered users in the FIRST MONTH!! I bet WoW never saw figures like that in it's first month :P

"Defiance marked the second largest series premiere in network history...." Excerpt from the Article.

Ok so 1 Million registered users would probably have 10,000 unhappy customers so that means all the whining on the forums is done by less than 1% of the Defiance community... and Trion would know this!

I have 3 accounts what does that say?lol
