I have 3 fairly steady old school MMOs that I will most likely play in the next year......
Anarchy Online
Everquest 1
Everquest 2
They usually only last for 1-4 months, mainly because I end up playing solo 99% of the …
Can't agree with you on the mechanics not mattering, OP. One of the things about SWG gathering that made it gold was the way gathering shuffled stats. Desh Copper this week has an overall quality of 55% but last week it was 80% and next week it migh…
My first MMO was a 'sandbox' MMO. Star Wars Galaxies and I have looked at many since then, that penned themselves 'Sandbox'. What I kept seeing was free for all open world PvP in every offering and I tried enough of those to know the sandbox becomes…
FF14,
Conan Exiles,
I still log in to BDO, GTA 5, PGA Tour 2K21. EVE and LotRO every so often. I won't say I am playing them though. Just doing log in checks.
Tried out ESO but it hasn't grabbed me yet. The first 2 mentioned eat up enough time tho
I do remember trading card art in the final days. It was more something I paid attention to on social media. It wasn't enough to make me actually sub and play but I was one of those that burned it all when NGE hit
The trial is extremely anti-social, stifled by a fear of rmt. Someone will send you a whisper asking if you want to join their FC but you can't even reply to tell them you are on a trial and aren't allowed to join FCs.
Mechanics wise, the trial wil…
First MMO: Star Wars Galaxies
First Video game was a hand held baseball game back in the 80's. (Might have been the late 70's the more I think about it)
MMO's will always see new ones until we see remastering and new engines for current MMO's. Considering the biggest of them all has never felt the need to remaster, I'm not expecting it to become a thing.
The reason BDO made it was graphics and a…

ESO seems to have sales every five minutes. I don't buy expansions at full price for any game these days as they inevitably come on sale pretty quick.
Agreed. ESO has been '50% off" on steam for over 2 years not including…
It's 20 quests or so. It's a typical BDO quest line. Mostly offering mid range CP for anyone level 53 and up. I'd say it has more potential for future lore content than was afforded in this event. BDO was handed an opportunity and did the best they …
FF14,
AC Odyssey new game Plus
I log in to BDO and stare at Waifu's a few times a week but don't actually play.
Log in to EvE Online a few times a month and stare at marketboards but don't actually play.
None of them really compete with BDO. They just do their best to side step it. BDO still has more variety in a game experience with Action combat as part of the suite. It's still the best Waifu Sim out there as well and while that is a comment that …

MMORPG Staff, might want to change the name of the Article. It's not going F2P to 60, it's just an expanded trial account. BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!
Agreed. Once you transition to Subscription, you can't go back. It's actu…

The trouble is the media method (text) and the redefinition of 'toxic'.
If a stranger were to eavesdrop on a conversation between me and my brother they would think we hated each other to the core.

The trouble is the media method (text) and the redefinition of 'toxic'.
If a stranger were to eavesdrop on a conversation between me and my brother they would think we hated each other to the core.
Of course that requires a lot of ill conceived a…
My first MMO was SWG back in 2003 and for the first 3 months, I never talked to a single person. Once I got in to the social side of things, started buying Doc and Ent buffs, actively joined a guild and became part of that ecosystem, the game became…
There are plenty of games that don't rely on combat. Sports games, racing games, Sim styles, turn based, stuff like Farm Simulator. Why they never made it to MMO? Likely because MMO gamers are min/ max masters and MMO's are grind whores. All of them…
