Lithuanian, I think that's much easier if your first character isn't an RP one, and you only do that later. By the time you've played far into the game you get an idea about the lore, and can fit a new character into this. Then you can start rolepla…
The only game I experienced which I felt encouraged role playing was City of Heroes. A character had a background field, pure text which the player could fill. Other players could see this. This is a trivial thing to add, and it encourages players t…
I think that crowdfunding depends on your generosity. It's like donations: if you want to help others, you will donate. If you don't, you will find the examples of where donations went wrong in order to justify to yourself why not to donate.

I agree that calling a single-player game an MMO is a silly thing to do, there's no shortage of people who are "wrong on the internet". I feel that the only reason to actually give this particular topic any attention is if one is an online columnist…

We might as well just outlaw online games.
Hardly. It's entirely possible to have online games without gacha, daily bonuses or whatever other stuff. Most non-mobile multiplayer games are like this.

If one plays MMORPG for story, it would make more sense then to play singleplayer games
Different people have different tastes. City of Heroes was my favourite MMO because I enjoyed its stories, it was solo-friendly, bu…

Back in the early 2000's game developers needed real investors and those real investors made damn sure the games were going to be released on schedule or close to schedule.
You know how many of games that had inve…

Was a pointless joke that came out of not really reading the article fully.

The only character creator worth its salt for me was in City of Heroes, and that was mainly because it had a place to write the character bio. In most MMOs the characters are just generic, sure, they might have a specific look, but that doesn't matt…
While I don't think that MMORPGs are bad, I tend to think that these days there's nothing special about them. 15-20 years ago MMORPGs were a dominant online genre. Now they're a niche one. The most prevalent games are now multiplayer, and "MMORPG", …

City of Heroes had the best movement by far. You start out walking/running like every other MMO, but as you level up, you learn travel powers.
This includes flying(!), running as fast as the Flash, and superjump which allows…
Blizzard issued a statement which – true to form for these companies – contained a bunch of words but said absolutely nothing
Having read it now, I disagree. While the statement didn't help make things better in most ways, and didn't address everyt…
While I agree that the cost of graphics has a real effect on development, I don't think that's the main issue. MMO development is in general harder than many other games. Large worlds with many players playing together, lots of game systems and cont…

And according to you, gamer means wearing gaming t-shirts, cosplay and figure collecting.
Not at all. You can read around this thread to get some more ideas.
We don't say "music" culture.
