General Discussion

I had fun in SWG, I had fun in COH, I had fun in WoW.

After that I just cant have fun anymore, i had a little bit of fun in AOC, but it wasnt enough, not to keep me going more than a month.

MMO's need to be open worlds, worlds where you can play and have fun again!

Many of them are, but too many of them share such close similarities that they're borderline if not entirely identical to previous games.

You're bored because you've come from years of WoW straight into a WoW clone.

Hi:

Did you not know that MOST people that play MMO games need pointers to show the way.

Hell now all you have to do is click a button and  it takes you where you want to go and back as well.

The one that just Flores me is the one that you can program your Toon to just hunt and loot, talk about your presetup bot system.

Whatever happened to a game that "Thought" was needed. Online gaming is becoming to simplified

and not allowing the player to think at all.

Be safe.

Play ES: Oblivion and hope the next Elder Scrolls has online capability :)

It's a long shot. Beth have never made an online capable ES game and have said they're more interested in making a top quality single player game than diversify their resources into an experience that does everything, but with mediocre results.

This thread is true, I haven't had real fun in an mmorpg since shadowbane, but once my server was wiped, population loss, and just not enough updates, it's just not fun anymore.  All the new games now have no skill involved, no complex template, new mmos have eliminated the need for intelligence to make a character.  Just look at WoW and mostly all of the F2P games, they have stats, but they are pre-assigned when you level up... they have specific skills, but most of the skills you have are essential to your character... it's all cookie cutter, theres no originality...

If you can hack it go play a MUD for a month , try the Simmu ones Gemstone or DragonRealms either will give you some great fun for at least a month. And it is real fun if you liuke a challenge, no graphics though.

It will get your brain working again though.

I think MMO's at this point are at the mid way point, I think with WoW we saw mainstream sucess of MMO's and we have a king of the genre that needs to get taken down.

Once one game goes over WoW's head Im sure others will follow.
