Once again, I am finished with MMOs...
This time however its the people themselves in the games that are very rude, disrespectful to each other, and generally annoying, more than fundamental flaws in the gameplay.
But I am also sick & tired of the gameplay. It saddens me that players cant be nice to each other. Even though sometimes fun, player-versus-player combat actually condones rudeness and bitterness in players. Even players that are on the same side are rude. I am just tired of people in those games, I guess.
Even on MMORPG forums they flame each other and spread ill-will and general discontent. These forums here at the Watch have always been rather peaceful and this community of actual friends is a god-send and very refreshing, especially after being at the lack-luster Darkfall forums waiting for that game for over 5 years, having to put up with INCESSANT flaming and dissing each other, without end, ad nauseum. Seriously, go there. Check Darkfall forums and you will see what I am talking about. Its almost vile there. I guess I am a "carebear" because they really make me feel like scum on a personal level. I'm finished dealing with them.
It is more tolerable to play with morons in FPS shooters because you dont really have to deal with them in a social context. You dont really talk to them. You just shoot them or whatever. So when I play online games, I am gonna just play online shooters that dont require a subscription fee.
/sigh
Single-player games again, for me, then. Hopefully this is the final change.
I have pretty much given up on MMOs. This time, though, it wasnt burn-out. It was realization that they suck. Most of the communities in general are not even people I would hang out with in real life. And I have made zero friends in these "social" games. Couple this with the reality that MMOs not only drain your wallet consistently with fees, but they DONT CHANGE from game to game. All MMOs are essentially the same freaking game as the last one. Sorry... NO MORE!
If I want to play a slasher CRPG, then by God I am gonna play one in single-player that will have a beginning and an ending and wont require me to grind endlessly for MONTHS just to get to the "fun endgame." Sad reality is that almost all players in World of Warcraft that get the fictional "fun endgame" where the "game really starts," end up getting so bored that they quit. So its a myth that was derived from everyone's false hopes that the game would get more fun. Blizzard knows this, reflecting the fact that Blizzard releases expansions to lengthen the endgame indefinately so that the bored people might keep playing.
So I am gonna play single-player games forever, heh.
And I will probably talk to you guys a LOT more here at the Watch, now that I am more similar to you: we all play single-player RPGs and games here. So... Hi again.
