General Discussion

       It is hard for the veteran players to play MMOs today but like a couple others have said you ahve to adjust......When I played EQ most of the grouping I did was very good......Players knew their roles and most did them pretty well.....When I moved on to LoTRO then grouping became totally different......Instead of working together the groups I had in LoTRO were just 6 indiviuals doing their own thing.....Sure we had a tank and healers and dps but there was little or no strategy and once the quests were done the goups always disbanded......It is frustrating to be playing and have some Hunter run off and attack mobs that are not even close to where everyone else is fighting then start screaming for heals......You jsut have to accept that almost all the games since WoW have been moade for the casual gamer and msot of them just want to play an hour or two with little or no hassle and move on........

Darkfall is coming my friend.

I'd say try out games like Stargate Worlds, The Agency, Star trek Online...i think people are mostly getting burnt out on Medival type games, and alot of these games seem to be trying at least a few new things.

I wish sombody good, (not some scrub company), would pick up Battletech universe and make an awesome MMO from that.

Cause a World of Starcraft will just make the genre so much better... Get real, the problem isn't the setting of the game.

I think some people do get burned out by playing elves, dwarves, orcs, etc.  However, I would have to agree that that is not the real problem.

My time for the QQ whine troll whatever you want to call it. My last hope was WAR, it's clear that this game is devoid of any social interaction.

MMO genre is dead.

Hello to the masses of players that don't want anything else than a single player game with guys playing around.

I will just step aside while keeping an eye for some unexpected new game, but no hope anymore.

Congratulations developers, it wasn't easy to bring a whole genre to its knees, but you have managed to. Not a small feat.

Other than agreeing with you that war sucks in general I like having the option of not interacting with people.  I get tired of people long before I get tired of a given game.  People suck.  Thank you developers.

MMO's suck unless you have friends to play with. I dont care how good hte game is playing by yourself is no where near as fun as playing with friends.

Well, too bad for you but roller coaster ride with no force group is the clear market trend. The MMO market has expanded in the recent years.

I suppose whenever something new comes around, there will be old timers who do not like the change and leave. But this is inevitable progress.

I gotta say I miss the days when people would actually talk to me before sending me a guild invite. Or when I group with someone they do more than issue one word 'commands' about what we are doing and where we are going.

I miss the days when I could ask a question in chat and actually get an answer instead of being told in broken chat speak (which gets worse every year) that  "lol wut newb?"

I'm not looking to make BFF's in every game but its nice to have a group of people who you can run quests with and chat and joke around with while you play and I'm not seeing that nearly as much as when I started gaming.

I do know that there are games where people have cameraderie. I play them or justt quit. Lineage 2 for one. Lord of The rings if you are in a good group. I've had a blast with these games and the people I've met.

The games are out there. You just have to meter your expectations.

 

 

IMHO, it has to do a lot with the mindset of the player. Generally speaking you find what you seek. I don't think any MMO is truely designed to be "anti - social" they just have the
