The current State of MMOs and Me

I’ve been playing MMOs for about 7 years.  Over that period of time What I’ve wanted out of MMOs has shifted.  In the beginning I wasn’t very picky, I just wanted to play a decent game with other people.  As time passed I was more interested in a solid storyline.  However once you’ve been playing for a while, the storyline while solid is repetitive.  That lead me to start looking into PvP a little more seriously than I had in the past. 

 

I went to Guild Wars  for GvG.  It was fun while it lasted, but leading a team of GvG players doesn’t leave a lot of time to relax and actually enjoy the game.  I left Guild Wars for WoW.

 

WoW is interesting to me, in that the PvP isn’t very good…but it had me stick around for a while.  Then Warhammer entered Beta.  I tested, and decided it was pretty good.  Ordered my copy and played for a few months…however it wasn’t that easy to find a decent group of people to play with. 

 

I went back to WoW for a while…tried the Arena Tournament…and it was all right, but just not quit the PvP I was looking for.  I think what I really want is the PvE of WoW and the PvP of Guild Wars. 

 

In the meantime I’ve tried a number of betas AION included, and I just haven’t found anything that is really what I’m looking for.  With that in mind, I’ve spent some time over the last few days, setting up a nice Single PC Multi-Box setup for WoW.  I’m now working on leveling 5 toons at once, and learning about multi-boxing.  Once that’s done, I may give it a try with Warhammer…of course if I do that, it might have to be 6 accounts instead of 5. 

 

Only time will tell, but I’m at least having fun doing what i’m doing.

  1. The sad thing about Warhammer is that what once was a little fun is all but gone now since no one is playing anymore. It’s like when you go back to Age of Conan…they’ve made some real progress improving that game but hardly anyone plays anymore so does it really matter?

  2. Agreed. Thats the problem I had with Warhammer Online. I haven’t even tried going back to Conan for that exact reason.
