I love the way that Asheron's Call handled this. Every month you had an update, with story, that you read outside of the game. The "story" really only gave a backdrop for why the world is the way it is that month; why new 'quests', npcs, or items ha…

Sorry EA, time to go back to making real games with actual content instead of F2P / B2P crap supported by ridiculous P2W cash shop shenanigans.
And there it is folks.
The reality of the situation is that 99% of th…
I don't blame wow for every dev making their game a wow clone, I blame those devs. But damn if I don't give wow dirty looks because of it all.
Lowest. Common. Denominator.
I hate the concept of classes in MMORPG's. Provide the skills and let the players choose. If your game is well-made this can be balanced to encourage a variety of choices. When you have classes your characters have no identity.

After checking this out I'm curious why you suggest RoA over DnD. From what I've been able to gather it seems that RoA is just going to be a stable version of the 2012 game whereas D…

I think the largest part of the player base for MMORPG maybe holding the genre back as well. I think far too many people playing the genre really want something that's not a MMORPG.
This is basically what…
1) Don't aim to be wow. Keep the budget low enough that something more niche will be affordable to create.
2) Make the game world worth being a part of. Group finders, fast travel, quest helpers and other convenience items are nice but they detract…
When Sandbox MMORPG's start coming out with the production values that some of these themepark games have had, and IF they fail after that, then I'd be happy to admit that sandbox games don't have enough of a market to compete. Until then I'm just n…

Nostalgia can be very dangerous. People tend to look back on games they played 15 years ago and think they were so much better than they actually were. WoW was the first mmorpg that I played, unfortunately, so nostalgia …
