Member Posts: 31
Actually as i have written before when im looking on best ranked games table im splitting it on 2 tables.
First table looks like this:
1. Guild Wars
2. World of Warcraft
3. City of Heroes
And second one:
1. EVE Online
2. The Saga of Ryzom
3. Dark Age Of Camelot
4. Ultima Online
Im really sure what games in first and second tables is belongs to different genres of MMORPG.
I want to ask you do you agree with me? And do you have any ideas how to name first and second tables.
My opinion is what second table can be named "Sandbox MMORPGs"..... No idea about First table yet. So your opinions is welcome.

I can't decipher what the heck you're doing.
Why you replying then?
To get clarification.
/emote hands a Captain Obvious pin to Reggy
First Table: Theme-park MMOS
Second Table: (as you put it) Sandbox MMOs
In the former, you have MMOs that are easy to get into, easy to try all the different aspects of the game, but usually ultimately shallow in the end game.
In the latter, you have MMOs that are usually harder to get into (steep learning curve), takes lots of time to advance either in skills, levels, wealth, power, fame, etc. but usually the players are rewarded with very unique gaming experiences and form very close bonds with their characters and with other players.
Damn IE and double posting. Webmaster! Fix this website for Opera users!
Reggy what are you trying to say....
Im trying to say nothing special
Im just thinking what time has come to split MMORPG genre on 2 main genres. I see a historical moment here
It will be so nice if when im reaading review on new MMOG i will be able to understand is easier from start: "Something Online, Theme-Park MMORPG"
And actually im finding it a bit confusing to see these 2 genres messed in one Ranking table
just kidding of course, but in each joke is a small part of truth.
