A Suggestion for those who think there are no good MMO's coming out.

sleepyguyftl

I was once like you. I played every MMO out there. Nothing was really fitting the bill anymore. I was tired of playing the same thing over and over. I finally got fed up and decided to stop playing MMO's all together. It was the best thing I ever did. When a game finally did come pop up that peaked my interest (Star Trek Online), I decided to try them again. I'm finding that I am  enjoying the game much more than if I had just come from another MMO.

I'm not trying to push any one game or trying to say you should play STO. I'm just suggesting that if no MMO is giving you the excitement that you once had, take a break. After all wouldn't it be nice if you could get excited over patch day once again?

To be honost, I never been like many, I never burned myself out with a MMORPG, I also feel I have abit more realistic expectations of the games I enter, I also play plenty of other games in other genre's, tho I will not play several MMORPG at a time, apart from perhaps a beta here and there.

I know excactly what I want, also know and understand what can be delivered, as your example of STO I simply have a different view on what a MMORPG like that should be, which does not mean it's a bad game, just means it doesn't suite the playstyle I want from it, which is pure personal. I take Fallen Earth as it suites me good, regardless that I am a Star Trek fan.

I think most has to do with many people have far to high hopes, my hopes wern't high at all for Star Trek as I already knew Cryptic just has a differerent take on MMORPG then I have and was expecting them not to really change that as it suites them well for those into Cryptic games, cause both Star Trek IP and Superheroes are my thing but I see a MMORPG way in these games very different then what Cryptic delivers, again not saying those games are bad cause since there are allot of people enjoying those games I know they are fun, for them, just not towards my own personal playstyle I want out of a MMORPG.

I am glad to see fellow gamers find a MMORPG to enjoy, so have I but it has taken quite some time before one really suited me towards the playstyle I have.

Sure a break might be good for some people, but it doesn't have to be that way, some of us know REALLY what we want and what can be delivered and some will pursuit every game untill they find that one thats clicks with them.

bad is bad!it doesnt change it!and the fact some asian game try to localise their game to america instead of just putting us on the same server as their main player base doesnt help either .never localise a game for usa or other part of the world

translate it yes but after that use a global server system where chinese will meet korean indian etc etc etc.

i would rater play like that then play an empty game on a localised american server .often we get less lag from asian server the asian play then the american server why?

they dont have the att ,nortel etc .ton of game have had issue with internet!company always say ho its not us its them

only when we show ping data do they actually wake up then they say ho that place is a switching hub

but where it gets blocked is often the various industry faction

i rarelly had those issue when playing on asian server

Been away from MMOs for quite some time now...picked up the STO beta and played a bit.

 

Gets a resounding, "meh" from me.  Not horrible but not particularly good either.

 

It takes the combat system from POTBS, but then takes any of the risk out of it that made it fun.

 

It takes the character creator and ground combat from CO, but then dumbs both down so much that they don't even resemble the originals.

 

Not to mention the entire game plays like a badly written single player RPG.  I played all the way to level 16 on both sides and my only inkling that I was playing with other humans was that I occationally had a green bar with a face next to it on my screen with brilliant names such as, "Stinkbutt" and "Hoc'al Ugi".

 

So yeah...STO is not my MMO Godfather.

governement should step in to put an age rating on those game

if its 5 to 10 year old rated say it on the box lol.now they do a less the 10 year old rating with gory content that can only pass for adult game

basicly game maker are saying hey 25 year old heres your game.25 person cant give it to younger kid since its not proper

but hes frustrated since the mmo if it was made for adult it was made for people in institution (with mental problem.

Thanks for the advice but Ive done what you suggested and I cant stand the new mmo´s anyhow (from 2008 and forward). The only thing that has caught my attenion is FE.

So I will stick with Eve, FE and some random F2P

 Burn out is nature's way of getting us to try new things.

 

Most people listen to music from a certain era.  Some people it's eighties music, some it's nineties and some it two thousand.  Looks like MMOs are the same way, you get stuck on your era's MMOs and you can't change.

I usually have (at least) two MMOs and a few single-player games on the go.

Variety is the ultimate cure to burnout.
