What do you think of the state of MMORPGs these days?
I think it's a good thing that the developers are at least trying to innovate the genre with combat mechanics, engaging storylines and gameplay. There are still tons of 'wow clones' out there, sure - but at least they're not all trying to become the new smash hit like WoW became by copying the basics and splashing on a fresh paintjob.
- What is the last MMORPG you have played?
Guild Wars 2
- Are you still playing it?
No. I'm thinking of getting back into it, though.
- Which MMORPG have you spend the most time on?
Most probably WoW. Back when it came out, the game was almost like a mythical thing for me and my group of friends (I was 8-10 at the time), we had never heard nor played something like it. Didn't get to play the actual game until late Burning Crusade. And I was truly awestruck by it.
When I think back at my time with the game, I spent most of the time leveling/deleting my characters (at a painfully slow pace) and never experienced much of the raid-content. So I probably played the game wrong, I guess :/
Lots of hours wasted. But I enjoyed it.
Can't seem to get back into it, now. Probably because I'm stuck on a server I hate and can't be arsed to pay 20 euros for a server transfer, and the game has kinda lost it's charm as well, in my opinion.
Also spent a considerable amount of time on the f2p version of Runescape in middle school.
- Are you looking forward to any new MMORPG?
The Elder Scrolls Online looks interesting enough.
It's a shame THQ decided to scrap Warhammer 40K: Dark Millenium before they went bankrupt. That game looked very promising.
