I think a resurgence is possible, but highly unlikely in a manner that will fit the current definition of an MMO.
While I have as much nostalgia as anyone for the MMOs of yore, many people conveniently forget the almost universal constant of that e…
I always get a bit worried when game companies begin their pitch by basically talking about creative ways to expand their market instead of strictly focusing on making the best game possible and letting the game grow from players recognizing how goo…
I don't play MMOs atm, and don't plan to until something worth playing (to me) comes along. One of the bigger mistakes I've made with my time over the years is trying to recapture what I love about MMOs in MMOs that I was pretty sure wouldn't be fo…
I am more than willing to buy a game and/or pay a subscription to any game I feel deserves it. However cash shops (sometimes even in sub games) hugely discourage me because every time a bug doesn't get fixed or new content is slow, all I think abou…
I hvaen't played in quite a while. I may as well give it another shot to see how development has progressed.
How has the zerg guild issue been addressed?
Will someone who doesn't nolife or join a zerg guild ever be relevant in this game? …
Like many aspects of MMOs, raiding has become dated as gaming as a whole has evolved. I do think raiding needs to be reevaluated to remain a primary feature in next gen MMOs.
I think first of all that classic gating mechanics need to be removed. …
DAoC had a lot of classes with a range of diversity, of course some were better than others. Between the 3 realms there were around 40 classes though.
Lotro had some of the best class design I've seen in a game. So many classes did such a wide ra…
UO, WoW, and EQ are obvious and I don't think they can seriously be debated in significance even if they weren't your cup of tea.
The fourth spot will come down to opinion and preference since I don't see a clear game that is that far above the res…
I think the best answer I have come up with (I've asked myself this question many times) is to provide the same breadth of content that traditional MMOs offer as elder game as the actual game progression; eliminate levels and progress more horizonta…
Firstly, good video.
As for the actual game, I seriously doubt it could steer me away from Dota, but I won't say it's impossible. The game does have good visuals ingame, though the selection UI looked super generic. It was interesting that there …
It pains me to say it because I have loved MMOs for so very long, but the general formula of MMORPGs has just become outdated. There are so many great options for online multiplayer entertainment these days that don't require huge time (and/or mone…
Not sure if people are still handing out keys or if I missed the boat (been working 70 hour weeks for a month or so) but thought I would give it a shot. I'm very interested in this game but I would love to try it if some kind soul could part with a…

I think what bothers me is that every PVE only game gets pressured to add PVP...There are literally tons of MMOs with PVP in it but very few that are pure PVE
As someone mentioned earlier in the t…
Part of the problem with all of the issues in MMOs these days is that the genre has stagnated so long and become so narrow that nobody even thinks beyond the existing scope.
DAoC was one of the worst balanced games I ever played. I had many charac…
It's almost guaranteed that this system is going to be very close to the realm rank system from DAoC, you know that game considered the greatest PvP MMORPG of all time. Could a RR10 beat a RR2 pretty easily in that game? Of course. Did people car…
I don't care one way or the other about EVE, it was too boring for me long-term and I wasn't really looking for a game at the time where I was forced to guild just for the game to be viable.
That being said what is going on in EVE is really common …
I really love CiV, unfortunately I have gotten to the point where I have played too many games and new campaigns never feel interesting. I also would love to get into another 4x, just not sure which one it would be.
On your list I have played tota…
I played probably half of the hype era games starting with WAR because I had hope for Mythic. Most of the others I understood that I was taking a risk with my money and that was ok. I did play SWTOR, Archeage, TSW, FFXIV, and more at launch. I a…
