• I loved EQ1. I loved EQ2 until they ruined it (years before F2P), I 'm not interested in EQ next. But I am game for H1Z1. Because there is a single thing where I completely trust SOE: To develop large scale sandbox games that DO work.

• Since the start of this millenium I have yet to see an MMO that couldn't be labeled "generic" and I am not sure I ever will.

• Thats one of the reasons I still stick with Rift: There are story quests, regular quests, daily quests and carnage quests. And of course the Rift/Invasion events. I can ignore  all but the story quests and while the rest are rather "tasks" the sto…

• No matter how "good" a controller is, it can't offer as many one-click actions as a keyboard. So MMOs created for consoles will have a hard time to provide the same level of complexity for exploration, questing, combat, crafting and social activiti…

• The moment they open non-PD servers is the moment the PD servers become abundant. I have not decided yet if I'd give PD a try yet, it's just my observation from 50+ MMOs that the majority always takes the easier route.

• It's funny how people like to define their taste mostly over what they dislike. ^^ So I try the opposite: I hope ESO will take the features from Oblivion and Skyrim that made these games such a huge success and I also hope they sell the game and ta…

• The MMO market is not really the turf for indies to do their first game. Especially because the MMO player wants eye candy which is expensive to provide and at the same time boring for creative minds. There is easier money to earn with mobile games…

• I don't care about sexual "stuff" in MMOs, wether its coming from the design or from the people playing it. But funny enough, I NEVER play MMOs where female characters are forced to wear high heeled boots ^^
