I agree with about half of what he said. The short-term profit at all costs attitude is a terrible way to run a business regardless of industry. On the other hand pure passion is rarely an indicator of success. Developer hubris is just as damagin…

Nephistos said: Even so, it's still a solution that doesn't really satisfy anyone. Personally, I'd argue for a complete overhaul, with a smoother flow and no abrupt transition between leveling and endgame. Albion Online is a good example of this…

joshisanonymous said: But what do you do at endgame in, say, FF14? Grind dungeons forever to get stronger gear? Is that not just another "leveling" journey? What makes that so much different from leveling proper? Raiding and hanging ou…

I can only answer for myself. I will only play with randoms if I'm desperate or the content is low stakes. Otherwise I need to be with people I'm at least familiar with. Leveling violates that. In pretty much every MMO I've played there's onl…

Scot said: There is no such thing as forced grouping btw, because if there was we would also have "forced soloing" as the vast majority of MMO content nowadays is made for solo players. SW:TOR's base story could be solo'ed or done wi…

ObligatoryF said: But then, what is endgame? It's just people hitting level caps and grinding for gear. That's almost the entirety of 'endgame'. In PSO2NGS, it's affix grinding or meseta grinding for fashion/affixes. It doesn't really respect …

Robokapp said: EVE Online has no levels. There's plenty of grouping. I'd argue that EVE has non-traditional or even horizontal leveling. It's fairly easy to get to "endgame" frigate or destroyer hulls (faction, type 2 or 3) but even sti…

achesoma said: So only 75 invites went out for this test according to their Discord. That seems really low for an MMO, even though it's early in development. For an Alpha Test? No, not at all.

Brainy said: In regards to PVE MMO's that died, way way way more PVP MMOs are dead and buried in the graveyard than anything even remotely resembling a PVE MMO. IMO that's due to the myth that "PvP players make their own content". We…
