During the coldest times of the year, we of the artic regions tend to roll a huge snowball in front of our ice shanties, grab a big ole slab of moose shank, hunker down next to the heat coming off our PC’s and game away. This season I was able to dabble in Fortnite, spoil myself with the bliss that is the Nintendo Switch and finish up with the new American Classic, Red Dead Redemption 2. Looking at the calendar and seeing a solid four more months of winter left I have to ask myself, what’s next?

I've also started Vampire the Masqerade again and have recently gotten back into Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor. Played that for hours last night. I hop into Elder Scrolls Online sometimes but that game doesn't keep my attention for long.

A guild I joined in VO just signed a contract to a nameless wealthy individual for a huge sum of Synthetic Silksteel at a standard rate in 30 days. I don't think they are going to make it, and the guild leader may be slowly realizing this. I could be wrong.
I met a pirate in an empty sector deep in greyspace after broadcasting my location. He dispatched a different new pilot who was also present as I stood on from afar; we then engaged, him at 75% health. I killed his flare Marauder with my Devastator Hog.
I acquired a unit of Samoflange, worth between 10 and 40 million credits. I'm not planning on selling it, but rather wondering how best to sequester it away for use at a later date. It can be used to build a capital ship reactor.
In Distance I finished my first workshop map, "Head Like A Hole", and have been having lots of fun playing online with others. I completed the first campaign and am a little more than halfway through the second.

Over yonder, on the far side there were more casual games where you could just blow shit and each other up with a 15 minute time commitment. I never liked those much although I admit, way back in their infancy, when they had meaty campaigns with like story and stuff I did play some to the end of the story and then put them away.
I haven't changed much. I still like RPGs with good stories and character development. The masses still just want to put in their 15 minutes and blow shit up.
The real question here is what do you like, whisky or Ripple?

You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.
Looking at the calendar though I'm eye-balling PoE Synthesis league, Grim Dawn expansion, Neverwinter expansion, going farther in Anthem, Torchlight Frontiers.
Id stick to TERA if not for pervy weab trash and gender locked classes
Revelation online and black desert are fun, but RO's lack of class types is bad, the VA is terrible and both RO and BDO are forced pvp.
Aion sadly is one of the best mmos out there.
recently returned to DAOC also
waiting on the Anarchy Online Progression server..
and playing POE when i want a short session gameplay
Each offer some of the deepest gameplay available , Stop chasing the new shiny all the time , most new games are big on shiny and low on game play and why people dont stick arouind them very long ..
LotRO, WoW, WAR, ESO, SWG etc all fit this definition and are what I would consider MMOs. Something like SW:TOR (which has a cap of 75) or Destiny etc (which have even lower caps) are not MMOs.
This has nothing to do with enjoyment, simply classification. It also has nothing to do with mechanics, it is purely about whether it is massively multiplayer or not. A lot of people don't seem to care about this definition, but for me it is vitally important: it is the only unique selling point of the genre and it is being ignored.
So, with that in mind, I have simply been sticking with single player games whilst I wait for a proper MMO to arrive. I have just built a new PC so I've been enjoying going back to some older games and experiencing them with maxed out graphics. GTA5 and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided are top priorities at the moment, but when I have time I also want to try Total Warhammer II again, it's an awesome game but I'd like to see it maxed out.
Beyond that, I'm in the New World alpha so as soon as I can get it to install, I'll be trying that out (it is an MMO, but not an RPG! could be exciting). At some point this year, I'll probably also start getting involved with Camelot Unchained, but I'm waiting for some more features before I start to give it time. Finally, I got a free copy of The Division 2 with my new CPU, so when that releases I'll give that a go too. I'm not sure how I'll on with it though, I generally don't enjoy standard multiplayer games, only MMOs.
Master of Magic for the win!
Otherwise for established MMO's, I still play DDO, STO and GW2 from time to time.
Been playing Legends of Aria. Not bad for an early access game. They almost have as much game as UO had at launch, but the systems are under developed. The map is much larger though. It has promise if you were a UO fan and is completely playable. It just needs more time to bake like most of the new MMO crop.
