"IF" you could...

completely and utterly erase all your knowledge, memories, experiences, and views on all the MMO's in the world to make it to where you are a complete mmo "virgin". Would you do it?
For me, it's an easy yes. I've been playing MMO's for 6 or so years now and quite frankly i cant seem to stick to one game for longer than a trial nowadays. I feel like i've seen it all, played it all, and experienced it all. When i first started playing them they were so amazing and new to me, now they are all just the same to me. So if you could completely forget MMO's ever existed, would you? Something to think about for you all.

The problem is, the ones I enjoyed have either changed for been long gone for some time. So again, for me, no! Cause I can't replay them
If I could still play them... then still no because I'd probably still be enjoying them anyways hahah, yes I am stubborn. I am sure others will share your perspective though.
I'm thinking they should try changing the new games. Not just make the same wheel again, again and again. But now that everything feels like 90% same as the next mmorpg, the games tend to blend into a mass and no game hits like a sledge anymore.
We gamers value the memories from our gaming days, would be silly to throw them away just because the gaming industry is slacking. Besides, with few years of gaming experience one can easily avoid the bad apples and try focusing on the rare gems.
If you feel like you've done it all, then the solution is to go way off the beaten path and play a weird game that really isn't much like anything else on the market. For example, A Tale in the Desert or Uncharted Waters Online.
Just don't give up when you're still confused after the first five minutes. Or five hours. Or days. If you're unwilling to take the time to learn something new, then you deserve to be consigned to play clones forever.
I highly recommend forcing your opinion/will on others. Let your anger fuel your strength and join us on the dark side.
I still hold alot of the same perspectives as when I first started playing mmo's, but that's just because I like to discover. I don't bother rushing or trying to be the best. I just try to enjoy each moment within whatever game I'm playing. Some moments are easier to take than others. I don't think I'd want to start over.
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.
I feel as if this is some sort of insult... hmm...
I second this. Also try Dofus or Wakfu.
Not an insult. Those games are different!

I would have to say no. If I did, I might think today's MMOs were good. I would think that shallow games were all that and more. I would not have had the experience of playing a truly deep MMORPG in a fully fleshed out world where I was free to explore to my hearts content, making my mistakes along the way and learning from said mistakes.

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR
I didn't say popular! hahah, personally I don't care for ATITD at all. But that game and others do play differently. Even if some elements appear the same, the core is different.
I would have to say no. The problem is not us, it's the developers/publishers. They seemed to have forgotten what makes games fun and why they're in the gaming industry in the first place. Now, they treat games as purely business so it's all about "getting that piece of the pie". There's just a major lack of creativity nowadays, and poor implementations of business models. I don't necessarily want to "go back", I want things to "move forward".
Hell no, i would never be able to recover any memories or great times in today's mmorpg's. Just as not much fun as older games. I care less about eye candy and story, i want a real mmorpg, not a dog leash. So many issues with the new age mmorpg's its not even funny.

Ok but that is a gamble. On one hand you have good memories of fun times. The fact is the MMO genre has changed a lot over the years and there s no guarantee that approaching genre as a virgin would create new equally good memories or good times. I find today's mmo's lacking in promoting engaging community. For me that is key. Without that I doubt I would find the genre as exciting as it used to be for me.
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-
