Shadowbane
City of Heroes
Warhammer Online
Bring those back with updated graphics
Fully released content (here's looking at you Warhammer)
Updated Network Code to prevent bugs/exploits/being teleported into the water (Hi Shadowban…
I multi-boxed EQ as well, but I used a software that allowed me to use the same mouse for both computers via VPN connection. Basically, the mouse would operate on the main computer. When I used a key shortcut, I could move it to whatever computer …
Dungeons and Dragons Online is a good example. Their content updates tend to release new talents, raids/dungeons, and sometimes new classes/races or mechanics.
And this is beyond the normal "expansions".
So yes, it is normally enough to p…
When you shorten instances, implement random grouping dynamic, when you include phasing...yes, games are less social now.
Blizzard designed themselves into this corner. I am playing Classic WoW right now. I've socialized more with random peop…

Depends on the MMO. Macros, at least from the one I've used, are necessary to limit the amount of keys you need to hit. Take WOW Classic for example. I have some macros that I've assigned to a sing…

Instead of adding more levels in whatever the next expansion is, they could just find alternate means of progressing your character. It needn't be vertical progression.
Agreed. EQ did it with Alternate Advancemen…
At this point, I think there isn't much they can do. While Shadowlands may renew some of that desire to play retail, I think they're just backing themselves into yet another corner.
Classic though may be their best option. Slowly expand on that a…
1) EQ up to POP
2) DDO and/or SWTOR. I....just...can't....decide
3) WOW up until CATA
4) City of Heroes
5) Shadowbane
6) EQ2 is a close 5th, but there are caveats. Mainly, I thoroughly loved the game during the first year of release. After …
Classic/Legacy/Progression Servers tend to do that. Hell, even Daybreak has had issues with the release of new Progression Servers for Everquest.
This problem isn't solely Blizzard. It is a problem for all game companies that fail to project what…
