I like getting rich in an MMO. Not from daily quests or raiding like everyone else, but from gathering resources or converting resources into usable items. A working player economy that doesn't suck and makes pretty good cash, with the occasional market gap nobody notices until I fill it and make a small mint. I don't like reaching sperg levels to do it though. If you need scripts and spreadsheets to compete, that's just embarrassing. I don't expect my dream to ever be realized because it's a lot like open pvp but with money instead of dying.

MWO isn't an MMO but you can technically conquer the galaxy, it's stupidly implemented though. However, there was a mechwarrior MMO in the works back in... 2001 I think? There was a beta but got cancelled.

DAoC was my favorite, but its successor Camelot Unchained has been in development for like 5 years and they're still not done. WAR almost had me but for the reasons everyone else had I didn't stick around long.

Groovelord Neato posted:it's weird they made an mmo and slapped the elder scrolls name on it rather than make an elder scrolls game that's an mmo. It would not be possible to make an elder scrolls game that is an MMO. You know mods and system commands would absolutely not be allowed in a multiplayer game.

I think what they really want is to go back to a time where their preferred class was overpowered, or just functioned in a way they were used to despite balance or broken mechanics.

choosing to wait in line for an hour and a half to finish a newbie quest, when you can just beat up mobs, is a pretty hard choice to stick to. but just think, decades from now you can reminisce to your grandchildren about easy mmos are these days.

That magic MMO only took two and a half years to get to beta sign-ups. That's better than the current MMO crop, but that probably means they re-used assets/code from their previous MMOs, which is what we all thought they were going to do. I think I'll keep my eyes on it.

I may not enjoy most pvp mmos, but I do like reading about them when goons are on the scene. The BOB war had my attention for a long time.

As someone who's sunk a lot of time into CoH homecoming, I find all this waxing poetic about everquest's core ideas hilarious. Homecoming represents a near complete shedding of its original EQ-like model and it's a lot more fun because of it.

If the FFXIV expansions had come with more free months of play, I would have bought them. It's a decent MMO but not worth a sub imo.

You can't capture the full essence of Elder Scrolls in an MMO, but you can make a boilerplate theme park out of it and make some dosh, and so they did.

D-Pad posted:WoW completely hosed the genre. It was so massive and so profitable it completely shut down any and all innovation in the genre until it became the dead husk it is today. A good MMO requires a lot of resources and there just isn't enough appetite for investment/risk from the studios that have the expertise and money with the current state of things. Had WoW not happened I think things would have gone in a much different direction. There were a lot of cool ideas and experiments that were just getting started when WoW came through like a freight train and stomped everything else out of existence. WoW had to happen though. By that I mean someone would've put in the effort to polish up the MMO experience and provide a means for solo players to engage in content. Whatever you consider to be innovation would've been short lived because the entire game industry was leaning toward things like accessibility and casualness.

I can tolerate dailies to an extent. It depends on what else there is to do in the game. I can also tolerate the exact same content, as it turned out while I was playing CoH Homecoming, because new heroes and power sets were fun to create and explore. Go figure. Dailies though, I've always seen them as a means of wealth accumulation. If a game didn't have dailies, you can bet that resource harvesting would get you the money you needed. In a sense I was more willing to do an objectively more boring activity if it brought in more money.

FileNotFound posted:What? Playing a p2w korean grind fest mmo on russian servers isn't your ideal MMO?! Perhaps one would prefer a late 90's online game that's all grind and no end game? It even has crazy avatar customization! Or maybe a fantasy-based tribes mod that is still being actively supported? These might not be ideal MMOs, but like an early-waking tree in fangorn forest, I am called to eat earth and dig deep.

That cancelled 2001 battletech mmo. There was supposed to be galactic conquest and I don't think it had levels. MWO tried to do something sort of like galaxy conquest but it sucked.

Oh hey I also briefly played EQ2 with WHAT. I took over my brother's account when he got bored of it, I had fun getting a necro to cap but they weren't good in raids for anything and well for a group that said they didn't care for raiding it seemed like there were quite a few every week. Other than that and the skillbar bloat I ended up enjoying much of the world and the journey.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised some MMO developers really, really want a single play area for everyone to claim their spot on, but they refuse to do any sort of research as to how many players they're going to get and expand the size to fit.

Biowarfare posted:I wasn't... alive for the first batch of MMOs. Lack of choices. They were the only MMOs in town. Ultima Online was almost literally THE only MMO from 1997 to 1999. You wanted to play in a permanent world where things changed while you were logged off, and actually had lots of people? UO was it. Everquest got popular because it wasn't UO. Skills mattered less than levels, you weren't forced to pvp, and it was in 3d. It was plenty different, but hampered by The Vision (Brad McQuaid's specific ideal of what an MMORPG should be). We may have technically had choices from then on, but it took Blizzard, who actually were competent at the time, to realize we could be having more fun than that.

Elendil004 posted:I have this hankering for an mmo, keep thinking doing EQ again for the nostalgia hit, but what I really want is something new. Is the landscape really so blasted that there's nothing decent coming out or recently released? I'm also thinking about EQ, but only because youtube kept suggesting all these how-to videos for TLP servers. I don't think I could return unless I can ride a huge wave of new people. I'm pretty sure I missed multiple waves by now.
