An impassioned plea for a permanent Original Generation (OG) version of Fortnite created quite a stir among the online Fortnite community. According to the post’s author, Shipporno, this desire arose out of the appreciable contrast between modern Fortnite and its older counterpart, which were highlighted during a recent OG event. The author further discusses how the Fortnite community has divided opinions about the new verses the OG versions, paralleling the experiences of the World of Warcraft community before the release of WoW Classic. Shipporno ends his plea with the argument that a permanent OG mode would not splinter the already massive player base, hinting at potential success reminiscent of WoW Classic and Oldschool Runescape.
Heart of the Debate
- Community is split between modern and OG Fortnite versions.
- A need for permanent OG mode to satisfy both parties.
- Comparison of situation to WoW Classic.
- Epic Games has a vast player base which won’t splinter easily.
Community Chatter
Support and concern flowed freely in the post’s comment section. User Otherwise-Ad8722 playfully hints at a future resurgence of ‘OG Fortnite will return in 2024 btw’, while JMatthewH voiced an interest in seeing how the player base would be split if an OG mode were implemented – the numbers game, apparently, is a tantalizing one. Meanwhile, ChromeEnthusiast assures the community that an alternate OG mode is on Fortnite developer’s road map for 2024.
Conflict and Resolution
User pika9867 reminisces about simpler times, agreeing that even an ‘arcade mode’ with familiar guns and no complex mechanics would suffice. Another commenter, Suck_My_Turnip, emphasizes the need for the ‘Fortnite devs to learn from OG’ in order to understand better what players enjoy about the game. Despite the continued discussions and disagreements, the consensus is that Epic Games needs to listen to their player’s needs.
In the end, as various opinions waft through the virtual Fortnite hallways, one thing is clear: the community wants its voice to be heard. The call for an OG mode could provide not just a win for the doubters but also a victory for those aficionados who would embrace modern Fortnite, a bridge between past and present. It’s a spicy conversation, don’t you think? And while no definitive conclusions have been reached, yet, this is certainly a pleasantry to watch – a bit like seeing a llama pinata burst open. So let’s agree to disagree, hoping the storm would be cleared soon! Stay tuned, gamers – it’s never a quiet day in the Fortnite world.
