Hello, are people here playing MMOs? What’s your favorite one?

    Yeah I also heard about that, with MMOs it always depend what’s company is in charge. A lot of MMOs are made by Tencent or NCSoft, and they are all P2W

      I feel like NCSoft was OK back in the day. My main experience with NCSoft was via Aion. I played when it came out and thought it was a great game at the time. And coulda sworn they had a decent reputation back then.

      Now, like you said, they’re just another terrible MMO P2W company. I have no desire to touch any of their games.

          They don’t make 'em like they used to

          100%!

          I do feel the early/mid 2000s was the like the Golden Era of MMOs. Then things kinda went south as the MMO space got oversaturated with WoW clones and F2Ps with P2W & cash shops proliferated. I played and trialed so many MMOs during that time. Chasing the proverbial dragon, but with MMOs!

          And now we’re sorta going through a renaissance with MMOs, given the recent more high profile titles that have been released or are coming soon: New World, Lost Ark, T&L, Blue Protocol, etc.

          But it remains to be seen if these games measure up. Still an exciting time though.
