Growing MMORPG.com Into the Next Decade
For those who don’t know me, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Joseph Bradford and I will be stepping into the role as MMORPG’s Managing Editor. Since 2012, I’ve written about video games and the industry as a whole on multiple outlets, such as IGN, Playboy, and GamesRadar among others. Since getting my start writing about LOTRO for Middle-earth News earlier this decade, my career has been a whirlwind. I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the best editors in our industry, make lifelong friends, and live out a dream I’ve had since I was a kid.

Basically clicking away text windows ruins every MMO, try to have fun instead of rushing things. Without story and lore all there is left is a bunch of mechanics.

I was just about to say the same thing, the dam URL is www.mmorpg.com, maybe the new blood can adhere to this genre. But we better stop, someone is going to get rubbed the wrong way and start screaming at us in 5, 4, 3, 2.......

Thank you for your time!
The site evolved guys, that happens in life, I don't think anyone is going to start sceaming mind you.
Even back in the old days we were never just MMORPG players, so it made sense to branch out.
My next suggestion is to stop pandering to the F2P asian market. This will drop revenue in the short term, but if you can succeed in helping pull the genre out of this funk, it will only help revenue in the long term. The site is not doing itself nor the community any favors by adding to the hype machine for the latest and greatest re-skin microtransaction pice of garbage coming from the likes of Nexon, Netease or NCSoft.
Every game that is hyped here should be reviewed to ensure that it is up to the standard of what we as a community want to see. If not, the forums here will continue in the current dismal state they are in now, with the vast majority of posts being "Looking for a good game to play while I wait for XXX" or "Stay Away from this P2W" garbage.
Then you change the DNS entry, change your whole website to reflect that. Thats like bringing up a website about Ford Trucks, then constantly reporting on Ford cars, GM's, etc... It is not good practice and does not make any sense. So if the site evolved as you claim (which it has), then the site should reflect this.
Just my opinion and I'm not saying I disagree with what some of the F2P/P2W games are doing to the industry as a whole, but I feel they should report/review without bias. They can include their opinions and point out the obvious P2W, money grab, etc aspects in each review but leave it to the reader to make the decision. Hey, some people love those types of games where they can throw their excess money at and be king of the world, to each their own.
As you can see from just this thread, y'all are changing, but we aren't...
You can either help to be part of the solution, or you can be part of the problem.
