For regular games I wait about a year for the GOTY all-DLC-included, bugs all fix version to hit Steam during a sale for about 20 bucks. For MMO's I wait for about 6 months after launch for the hype to die down before I even check to make sure it's …
The question should be worded: "Will you play a game mis-classified as a MMO by YOUR definition IF it's a good game?"
After all no need for the "if" it's mis-classified, since that is the premise of the question.
The answer is a hypothetical "ye…

Yeah that's when I quit too. I love EvE think it's the best MMO out there, but it's very time and effort intensive. A game you sink years i…
“We were hurting bad after [Siege of Mirkwood] subs were declining hard — and F2P was inevitable,”
In the eternal argument of p2p and f2p, this says a lot about the value of f2p games.
My problem is I've been playing MMO's since they were MUDs (MUSH MOO, whatever) and I was kind of lead along this path that MMO's were supposed to be world simulators. Each iteration increasing the fidelity and immersion of the world being simulated…

Nope, WoW didn't DO anything. Publishers trying to cash in on WoW's success have. If we follow the logic, no game should be great or genre defining or else it will be responsible for the bad things that come after it.
Ridiculous.
Free-to-play games. No matter how good it is, I just can't enjoy a game that is needling me to reach for my CC constantly.
Consequence free pvp. If it's just a free-for-all, die-rez-kill-die-rez, what's the point? Go play COD or something.

You were present for ALL those launches and you STILL dropped 150 on a CE preorder?!?! Of a F2P game!?!? Game publishers lick their chops over people like you.
I'm not saying it's ok for companies to rip people off, but jeez, sometimes it's a li…
Originally posted by LovrNoFightr Some people think that grinding equals fun. Doing the same things over and over again.
Why is that?
I'm very happy to see that many MMOs allow us to buy things instead of grinding for them. IMO everything in a g…

Yes
The game actively promoted positive player interaction as well and non-combat activities. My favorite example (of many), and it's such a small thing but it had a big impact on people interacting with each other positively, like many games, skills h…
