And graphics? Realistic or stylized? Eastern or Western?

I did fire up old entropia universe last night for several hours. That was fun. Then I realized that there's almost no point to play that game. It's actually a pretty decent sandboxish MMO but the fact that you can make money out of it, changes my mindset to one of trying to profit. But then again, if i play for an hour, maybe, if i even do profit, i'll be like $1.40. Even though it is mainly negative numbers and losing money. But overall, it is actually a fairly good MMO. It's the real money economy that drives a lot of people away as it should.
I liken the game to a cheap supersexy prostitute with untreated HIV. If you're willing to take the risk it can be amazing, but over time, it will definitely not be worth it.

I thought...hoped FFXIV would be that game,a great successor to FFXi but nope.
You have to go all the way back to FFXI just to get an old school game,so it has been 15-16 years since anything good,the only thing we have seen is a few games with nice graphics.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Everyone is a sellout for money now,streamers,websites,YouTuber's,developer's,just give them some money and they will hook you up.

Developer's have just gotten really good these days at separating players from their money with the least amount of effort.
I'm guessing sometimes they are even astounded and amazed at what gamers are willing to pay money for and how much they'll pay for it at times.
I know this is not at all the MMORPG landscape I envisioned back in 2001 when I first played L1.

God of business is money. I look at business as I do sharks in the water. If a shark attacks you, you can't get mad at it, you ventured into their territory and that is what they do. Likewise, in gaming, it's all about money (with a few exceptions like Path of Exile imo). You play games nowadays, you are playing into their territory.
I mean, the US gov't revenue is like 60-80 billion a year on stupid lottery. If that's not a pathetic figure and taking advantage of stupid people, I don't know what is. I can't think of a more pathetic way to get money from people other than using gambling.
It's like, when you look back at your life, what did I do? I owned a casino that was designed to fuck people and take advantage of a known human flaw. Great job

p.s. If I made a game, I would not have loot boxes in it. I'd have rewards for spending money. You spend $100 on whatever shit from cash shop you get item A, $200, you get item B, etc. If you spend $100,000 in addition to an undead wyrm, you can have an NPC in the game with your physical likeness and you get ownership of the company to a tune of 0.05%

See, look at what both of you are saying.
The poor guy is looking for an mmorpg where you actually get to play with other people, instead of a child's playground game.
Just saying.....
Also, its difficult to play with others when most everyone has marched off to play other genres, with MinMOs and BR games more or less dominating the landscape.
As you know too well the type of game he's looking for hasn't been made in many years.

Doubtfull... Way to modern! Pong is what he means, I bet!
I guess I line up with those who doubt there is anything out there. Times where P&P RPG folks made virtual worlds like the ones they imagined at the table are over I fear. As with many aspects professionalism has set in and pushed innovation and dreams aside for business.
