    On mmorpg you get banned (because someone takes offense or disagree).
    On mop you get moderated.(for disagreeing or having non mainstream opinions), or you get pummeled by the toxic and narrow minded who make their own meaning out of anything you type.

    Still, prefer mmorpg these days.
    It would be nice if they finally made that threaded discussion feature so I can avoid scrolling through walls of replies with the full 204 lines of quoted text :)

    Yeah thats why millions of people are playing Lost Ark...it gets to be pretty annoying to hear this. Just because some life-changing supergame hasn't been released to perfectly match your tastes doesn't mean MMORPGs are dead.
    Oh snap....did not see that coming.

    Going to head for my lightning shelter.

    Lost Arc is the exact reason this genre is dead !

    It's Asian Free to play crap that's completely soloable that's only popular here in the west because many people try and play for free.  It's your typical swing and flash garbage you would expect from the East.

    Well, searching is fine on my Nokia phone, since we're disclosing brands now.

    I thought when I saw this thread that it was going to be something like:

    "This website has become another echo chamber, just like MOP."

    Because that's what I see MOP as - they deliver good news, but their "community" so-to-speak are like an echo chamber where even the site owners join in and parrot each other and pat themselves on the back and anyone who doesn't share their opinions is swiftly ignored, ousted and sometimes muted. I've seen people who have different opinions there, their whole "community" jumps them for daring to have a different opinion, and after a while the user in question just stops posting, I doubt they just decided not to, but more likely they post, but their comments don't appear anymore, because the owners are sick of dealing with outsiders to their sacred echo chamber.

    I think in that regard this website is still better as people are still allowed to have opinions and free speech.

    But in terms of article quality, this website really dropped the ball. There are like 2-3 credible writers and everyone else feel like some outsource laborers from who knows where.

    Agree on the community and moderation being a lot worse on MoP which is why this site is my favorite place to post.

    Seems from others responses I'm not alone in my smart phone search challenge, so since you aren't having a problem must be something causing it for us 

    What browser are you using, and presumably your Nokia is Android, yes?

    Fairly certain @Rungar got himself in a jam over on this thread, political topics are high risk to post in, especially if one says "the T word."

    I'm fairly new around here. I was a long time MOP reader, but I made the switch a couple of months ago. The BIG difference I see between MMORPG and MOP is MOP uses their site as a way to push their very left leaning political agenda posting full articles, not just comments, that not only have nothing to do with MMOs but barely have anything to do with gaming. If you call them out on it your comment has a high chance of magically vanishing. Bree Royce, who I believe is the chief editor, puts in a lot of effort into creating a carefully curated echo chamber and safe haven for left leaning players while silencing anyone with opposing viewpoints either by the magic eraser of her moderation powers or by personally shouting down people in her comments. It's literally the same playbook from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and all the liberal media outlets, and I just got to the point where I'm done giving them ad revenue through my clicks. The crazy thing is I'm not even that political.  There are some things I fall to the right on and others I fall to the left on. I consider myself and independent and can see and discuss calmly the shortcomings of both sides. However if you pay any attention at all to what gets posted over at MOP it just becomes very in-your-face. I come read about gaming to get away from all that not to have yet another vehicle for liberal media to push propaganda in my face. That's why I'm here and so far it's been a breath of fresh air. I see all these complaints about MMORPG posting non MMO articles (which MOP does as well) and I'm just thankful I don't see a bunch of articles and posts espousing the benefits of socialism.

    If you want a "case in point" about what I'm talking about go read this article and the comments that follow including Bree's.

    Sorry for the rant. This got much longer than I thought it would be.
