MMORPGs in our lives and how they affect the rest of gaming...
- Mar 17, 2013 6:41 pm GMT
Well... in the past there was a period that I've been a hardcore MMORPG player, that lasted for a couple of years in which I played quite many of them with WoW taking most of my time. At some point it become like a second job to me, I was not playing just for the fun that we all tend to seek when playing games but because I was feeling that I have to in order to keep up with the rest of my guild etc.
So then.... I saw light!
I quit for some years, not touching any MMORPG in the mean time. Lately however after reading about the Elders Scrolls Online, I became interested in the title but as it was still unavailable to play (in Alpha beta atm) I decided to renew my WoW sub.
Well I've been fvcking hooked again... since I renewed this goddamn thing I haven't played any other game. This is cancer seriously...
Do you guys feel the same? What's your opinion on MMORPGs? Do you also see it as being the devil... the heroine of the gaming community?
PS: Still Elder Scrolls online looks awesome and might try it out.

I remember back in high school I used to be seriously addicted to Silkroad Online. If it wasn't for the fact that I seriously fed up with bots constantly crowded the servers, preventing legit users from logging in, I would 'probably' still be playing.- Please wait.

Quickly! Think of a good sig. Everyone's counting on you.
First of all - Varcis, how have you been man? Long time no talk.
You know, I've never been able to get into MMOs. The only one which really appealled to me was EVE Online. Seriously, I love the game, the universe, all that stuff. I just feel like it's pace is too slow, and I never have anyone to play with in my time zone, etc etc.
Like, if EVE Online could be a single player game where friends could drop in as coop partners for missions, that would rock. If it had a single player pace eg - no more then 2-3 hours of play between 'upgrades' (might be a new ship, might be new lasers for your ship, or a new skill like salvage) then I'd be keen.
I don't know man. Maybe it's a personality thing, maybe some people just have a personality which makes MMOs more addictive for them.

All good mate... you see I haven't even been on forums for so long cause of this thing! Damn that's pathetic! I think I'll unsub next month. For me its just that I can't play it casually cause I always want to be in best guilds etc... so that kinda forces me to dedicate more time.

Play planetside 2 for your mmo fix if your computer can run it. You don't need to be so dedicated to that game to keep up. Just hop in and play when you can. Plus it's just as fun as wow. Actually more fun. This is coming from a former wow player.

I kinda hate WoW the way it is now, it sucks... just playing it 'till TESO is released.
The whole point is wether MMORPGs are good or we should avoid them at all cost. Asking this cause I wasn't able to keep it to minimum level... it's all or nothing!- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

I like mmos. No ps2 is not an mmorpg but it gives me my mmo fix and is what got me off wow for good. I can just hop on and play when I want without worrying about gear or by ques or grinding. Its a good replacement for me and doesn't tkae up nearly as much of my time. Just offering an alternative dude no need for hostility.

That's good you're good.
Yeah, the game is always going on, perpeptual world. And yeah to be the best it does take time.
Do you feel it's sufficiently rewarding though? Like when you're in a good guild with good gear and a good character you like, is it worth it?

I played WoW hardcore for two years, but life hit and I began playing it very casually (like maybe an hour a day). I don't play any right now nor I wouldn't for a while (unless a Mass Effect mmo happens) but I like how much more casual they are becoming. Most people can't commit the time for hardcore playing like some people want them to. I think MMos are good games, all they need is to strike a decent balance between casual play and giving the more hardcore players rewards without the gap being too ridiculous.

Which is why I suggested planetside 2. It strikes a perfect balance. You can play it casually or hardcore and everyone is still on a relatively even playing field.

Well I've never played an MMO so I've never got addicted to them. TBH these addiction stories are quite off putting, I know I could be the type. Hell, even when I play Pokemon I always want to keep playing, think about it throughout the day (until I complete the game, thank you single player!). Imagine when they start making MMO Pokemon games.... FUUUUUUUUUU!- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

Simply the worst genre in the gaming industry. But those 3rd world citezens will keep it alive with 'em gold farming and limited to low quality gaming.
