Best MMO of 2024 really should have had an "other" option so we could type an answer in. As with most years, I left most categories blank as I either haven't played any of them, disagreed that any deserved recognition, or just flat out disa…

I've never really been a fan of the leveling process in MMORPGs. I don't care about the story, as I've said many times I don't believe games are a good medium for telling stories. So, the primary driver of the leveling process in your avera…

NegativeJoe said: the biggest thing that ruined it for me, and a lot of players, was when you could start pumping out a bunch of alt chars.(private server problem maybe?), once everyone could do everything, they didn't need each other anymore…

Haven't watched the whole postmortum vid but have certainly read his portmortums book, which covered everything i saw in the vid so far. Certainly was a damn impressive game for it's time! One of the things i remember from the book was that…

I like the general direction you are going, but like others I don't think a weird mini-game is the right approach. What I would be looking for as part of a training process is to train to use the new skill properly. Not doing a mini-game th…

Personally, I only play subscription-only MMOs (don't think any exist anymore) or completely free (i.e. emulators). The reasons why I prefer sub-only: 1) Predictable costs - I like knowing exactly how much my game is gonna cost me. …

Sovrath said: Well, I'm impressed the fortress looks amazing. Did you build it all yourself or did you have friends help? Built the whole thing myself :-) Total game time is 230hours in Enshrouded, and I reckon 180 of those hours…

The early 2010s were an era of experimentation?!?!?! That's not how I recall it at all! About the only real change i can recall is the emergence of action combat, as typified by ESO and Wildstar. Everything else was still solidly in themepark …

Sadly haven't been invited to any test yet (or really heard anything about it in terms of getting in). It annoyed me that I had to sign up using a google account, seemed restrictive. But yeh, liking what im seeing coming out of testing so f…
