Almost anything can be called an MMO, but very few games can be called an MMORPG accurately. But yeah I could care less what it is called, I'll play it if it is good.
Neither did anything right to be honest. Instanced PvP is awful. PvP with no real impact is awful. Both games PvP is just worthless. Both games PvE are pretty poor too. MMORPG are in such an awful state right now, it is just sad.
I will be in the extreme minority but I went with EQ. Yeah they didn't balance it at all but CC wasn't so overpowered like in most of these games and still to do this day the best method of PvP I've seen is to have it revolve around the PvE. You w…

Instead of creating a world they are cr…
Well PvP should not be the focus of a sandbox, it should be part of it.
There hasn't been a real PvE sandbox game yet. One where your actions can actually significantly change the world. The technology just hasn't been in place for it yet.
Having seen gameplay footage of Black Desert it will be terrible, clunky terrible gameplay killed WAR and it will kill this game too. THe basic game has to not be awful to ever survive.
SWTOR burned up its budget on poor voice overs for even worst story quests. You could make a game much better than SWTOR for a lot less cash, they just wasted a ton of money on stuff that doesn't matter much.
I can call my cat a dog all day long, it won't make him a dog.
Games like D3 and SC2 are not MMOs just because they are online. MH is not an MMO. PS2 you can call an MMO though. Never played H1Z1 so cannot comment on it.
I really wish I could like Eve, it does so many things right. The problem is the basic gameplay just isn't fun at all. The combat model they chose to go with is just downright boring and while the non combat aspects are fun they just aren't enough…
I will add that I don't think I ever quit a game because it was too hard. I quit them because they are too easy all the time though. I'm sure there is a level at which it becomes too hard and I would quit, I just haven't found a game that does tha…
FFXIV is just awful, if you have to pick between the suggestions on this page so far go with TESO. It isn't a great game but it will keep you busy for a while. GW2 is solid too though I disliked a lot of things about it but those were mostly perso…

ESO is a pretty poor game and it is going to drop in price in a couple of months, I'd just wait on it personally. Right now the prices are inflated because it just went F2P but that price is just going to go down in the future.

Sure there are some lesser popular games - like Alganon, 4story, Forsaken world.
But seriously - as far as AAA games go - "w…
Anyone who says they get treated different playing a female in a MMORPG is either acting different when they play one or is jerking your chain, it just doesn't happen unless you are actively acting differently when you play a female.
Never noticed any difference in treatment even back in the old MUD days when online gaming was pretty new.
I play it because staring at just male models gets boring after a time and because sometimes I like to name my characters after my wife or da…
For those who answered F2P, keep in mind there hasn't been a single AAA F2P MMORPG yet so you really don't know how that would go. I would think most AAA companies will move to B2P considering what a failure P2P has been recently, but you can't rea…
I won't play a game if it is really easy like a Marvel Heroes or the current WoW.
I won't pay a sub for a game unless it is a really special game in some way. There is no good reason to put a sub fee on games anymore unless you have something like…
