Go try out City of Heroes on the new Homecoming server if you haven't. If that game has one thing, it's loads of personality. There's really no other MMO like it.

It’s good. Never played it live but I’ve been having fun.

I have tried basically every MMO. Each of them has some specific good things they do but most are overall terrible. My dream MMO is an open world Star Wars universe where you are free to do whatever you want. Own ship, fly around land and visit where ever. Join the empire or rebellion/republic/etc. Or start a massive production of battle droids and take over the galaxy.

Seriously, though, I just want to live in the Star Wars universe and let it play it out how it plays out....

There's probably a Star Wars mod for X3 that gets close to that.

I know it won’t fix the “sci-fi that’s too much like fantasy” problem but I’m a bit surprised there never ended up being a 40k MMO. What ever happened with that?

I don't think it's this cause Games Workshop clearly licenses their IP out to anyone. It's more likely that no one feels there's an convincing MMO that could be made out of Warhammer 40K. An MMO for Warhammer Fantasy barely worked.

I looked it up and here’s what happened:

Is this game worth the $7.99 it was up for during the Steam Sale? I probably won't get into end game raiding and might not even buy an expansion. I might pick it back up when it launches on Stadia sometime this year.

I’m sure it’s not worth it.

ESO hosed the franchise over because it is a trivialized watered down version of the single player games.
Even in Skyrim, the world is dangerous and adventurous until you reach midgame (then you start owning everything and the game starts to suck), and that's what's missing from the online game - the sense of danger you feel as a lowbie starting out.

Yeah... I have fond memories of starting off in Morrowind and being overwhelmed, excited, terrified, etc. When I tried the free week where you start in Seyda Neen, there was just none of that feeling. Other dumbass players with pets jumping around everywhere and no meaningful challenge in wailing away at sacks of HP. The world was gorgeous but the immersive part was cut right out.

The only good MMO is LotRO because you can see all the things you love if you love Tolkien’s legendarium. I got sucked back in due to needing COVID escapism and I just reached osgiliath for the first time. Gondor calls for aid, and I shall answer!

They’re also doing a shitload of discounts and giveaways right now.

Unironically this would make for an amazing MMO. Kinda like a MMO Sims game where you set goals for your character and make spec/equipment choices for them and maybe script AI routines like the FFXII gambit system and the character does its thing 24/7 and you can log in to watch/make decisions and shoot the poo poo with your buddies. Imagine a 40 person raid where every last person is a player-scripted AI. You could even make it so hilarious shitshows are part of the appeal - watching braindead AI trying to make it work like those pseudo-physics-based battle games. All while poo poo-talking each other's characters. It'd be the perfect podcast/social game.

i'd play that. pixel starships has a pretty deep scripting system for crew members and ship systems. it'd be sweet to have a whole raid of goons you could program like that.
