What happened to the MMORPG market? It seems like people only play XIV and Warcraft
Do you play any other MMORPG?

People realized that the only reason the grind exists is to keep you paying to play.
no because mmorpgs are fucking terrible grind fests
God have mercy.
i tried a few of the newer ones but there is a serious lack of innovation in that market so they all just sort of blend together and i get bored quick
Man hands
As anime style games died, so did mmorpgs.
Other than COMING HOME for some comfy Kalimdor leveling I don't have any interest in the genre anymore.
MMOs today are mechanically no better than Everquest and early WoW except they completely forgot how to handle and encourage the multiplayer component. The mechanics were never the strongpoint, how you engaged the mechanics with the players of the world was. Running into another dude at the quest giver for a group quest and going "so you want to take a stab at this with me?" is what made the genre fun. Modern MMOs have replaced that notion with cinematic quests and raid finder.
The MMO genre is like a promising valedictorian who fell into hard drug use, unquantifiable potential we likely will never see realized in the slightest was lost.
Latter-day MySpace and then the rise of Facebook and Twitter killed off a lot of the appeal of MMOs. They basically functioned as a proto-social networking tool for nerds.
>What happened to the MMORPG market?
Everything that could have went wrong, did go wrong and then some.
I play Maplestory 2
It gets a very good update for longevity tomorrow and next month is the big summer patch with all the new content
really excited
I still play The Secret World, played it for years and absolutely adore the game.
>"so you want to take a stab at this with me?"
Too many retards who can't communicate anymore.
Don't worry user, I'm sure robotically correct grammar and disdain towards any slang doesn't make your autism too noticeable.
I played WoW and Dofus.
Ended up moving to XIV. The models are cuter and the transmog is great. Also housing is comfy as FUCK.
Been playing a fuck ton of ESO lately with a bunch of friends and honestly it’s the most fun I’ve had in an MMO since OG maple story.
They fixed a lot of the issues from release and there’s actually a fuck ton of fun content to do. I’m kinda a shitter but I made an Orc nightblade if anyone wants to add me @firelink-shrine
Most gamers with money are adults that don't have unlimited time to play games.
So MMOs has been watered down so it doesn't take much time or effort to progress.
I tired to get into dofus but can’t get over the shit tier Flash aesthetic (especially after wakfu)
I used to play TERA but then BHS didn't know when to fucking STOP touching it
They could have just left it alone and it would still be a good game. Too bad. It's a shame
Cause bunnies.
user I stopped playing after they released chaos raids and I think the next area was like a sky fortress or something? What new content came after that and what is coming in the next summer update? Anything worth logging back in again for?
what a retarded looking freak
I would fuck her so much if I could...
I'd play City of Heroes if a server can be made that lasts more than five minutes. I'm into capeshit.
lmao
>mfw I have 5+ MMOs instaleld and want to play them all at the same time, even though I can't
>tired MMO gamer syndrome kicks in again
you missed my point. I understand you can't get a response without feeling aggression. There's a reason no one likes talking with you in MMOs though.
you sound like a nigger, potential rapist.
WoW, GW2, and FFXIV are still going strong
Nothing good enough to replace them has come out
I'm back to playing DFO
I play SWTOR
all the good MMOs were so time consuming that you had to be a legit basement dweller or a retired boomer to effectively play them.
>What happened to the MMORPG market?
phones
I am waiting for WoW classic
>What happened to the MMORPG
They're no longer money makers meanwhile their development costs have only gone up. It is a lot of work to make a game you're not certain will even success 6 years after you started developing it.
this basically
I play Black Desert Online.
I don't recommend it.
>can be close to neckbeards in WoW by playing 3 hours a week
>neckbeards cry "this invalidates my progress"
everytime someone post a cute girl I die inside
i have been playing runescape since 2006 and have no plans to stop
Or a young adult/teenager who plays what ever shit is popular/played by their friends. Which is the only reason why a boring as fuck game like WoW was popular. And now all those kids can't spend hundreds of hours on mmos like they used to so they can't ever appreciate new mmos hence the "new mmos suck" meme
WoW sucked and new mmos are just fine. Its the old bitter boomers on Yea Forums who are blinded by nostalgia goggles creating memes
Maybe you'd have better luck with lesbians being that big of a bitch and all.
I just wish they made good MMOs again like L2 and such.
What's the most successful MMO now that isn't XIV?
Linage 2 absolutely a best
the most patirician mmo
MMOs are the most boomer genre out there. People nowadays just aren't interested in them.
Based
I plan on playing WoW classic when it releases.
No new content since part 2 of sky fortress.
They've been overhauling basically every aspect to make progression less rng based.
I don't know what day it is but soon there's a welcome back event
I'd come back then if you have any interest and catch up on gear before the big content update drops in May
kenshis a better mmo than anything from the past 5 years
the problem is mmo worlds stopped being worlds and turned into level gated checkpoints you rush through to endgame. then at endgame theres nothing but powerecreep. theres no reason to explore, no reason to ever return to an area after youve checked off the quest boxes, nothing fun to find on the way since all gear thats not endgame is just vendor shit.
I'm just waiting for the next MMO with a loli race. Lalafell doesn't count.
BDO is probably the worst Mmo I've played.
It's literally just a circle of self hate.
Fail every upgrade, spend all day working on next failure, game gets worse with every "update"
It's funny how I spent so long just waiting for it to get better
Quit the day they let you pay your way to the best gear, and from what I've seen it's still there so good ridden Korean jews
all MMOs are shit
>all mmos are shit
>posts a whore white girl
you're just shit m8
could you imagine if fast food didn't exist most women would look like this
That’s retarded. Nerds were using forums and shit forever and still are. MMOs were not a proto social network.
take a number
Earth Eternal closed.
In all seriousness, people mostly just decided which ones they like, and either the devs learned to sustain themselves on those numbers, or they didn't. You've got stuff like DDO that survives on parceled content purchases, stuff like Neverwinter that survives on lockbox money for better companions, mounts, and artifacts, and stuff like XIV and Warcraft that survive on sub fees, full-cost expansions, and purchasable additional services. Currently, I'm playing ESO, but I'm mostly just kicking my heels waiting for some new ones on the distant horizon, like Pantheon, Crowfall, and Camelot Unchained. That said, it's probably going to be a good long while before any of those make meaningful strides towards release.
What about you, user?
based
server up right now friendo.
old mmos were chatrooms with stuff to do on the side. everything took ages which was fine cause you werent in a rush to progress. the game was the game. you had to talk to people to do things since your guy wasnt a self sufficient master of everything.
now nobody fucking talks. yeah they talk in a discord or other outside object but nobody socializes in game in mmos. you dont talk to people or scam them in trades when auction houses exist.
if people want to talk they dont go to mmos they go to facebook.
STOP POSTING CUTE GIRLS YOU FAGGOTS YOURE RUINING MY LIFE
I still pop into FFXI from time to time, but if someone made a Guildwars 1 clone I'd be all over that.
I love you Crowe
totally uncalled for, user
this guy's gonna come rape your faggot boipussy in your sleep tonight
ARK survival evolved. I heard it has a billion players, or something.
This chick is making me want to get my shit together. Fuck I need a gf
Pretty disappointed that amazon's mmo turned out to be survival crap like this
I dated a girl that looked like this back in highschool
She gave good blowjobs but liked to be smacked around a bit too much
Like I'm fine with hair pulling and slapping but this bitch wanted me to punch her and cut her and shit
blogpost over
>just want something that lets me run dungeons with friends and get gear and progression
This is all I want, add in a party finding ability and it's solid. Allow the game to have in game clan functions and poof even better. Do everything in the games power to kill things like Discord and forums and allow it to all be inside the game would be even better.
In game forums, in game communications, parties, hubs and everything else you could use for communication and it's fantastic. All I want is a game like .Hack promised the world.
>game has mailbox
>no one ever uses it
This drives me nuts, one of my favorite things was logging in to have a new message in my inbox. Shit was neat. Hell last time I played 14 I would use the mailbox for fun to chat with people. It's a neat social media piece lost to time.
>but
The last good mmo was Ragnarok and now it won't recreate the sense of wonder anymore cause you're too old or the game just lost its touch.
There won't be any games like it anymore either, because all mmos are either Jewish now or feel the need to shoehorn in a shitty story and quests nobody gives a shit about instead of just letting the player explore by himself.
cute
girl
Based momposter.
We're increasing your standards. You will never be satisfied with a legbeard or a fatty now and will significantly improve your life status to get a 3D waifu
most modern MMOs are badly made and trashy
games from the SW:G/City of Heroes era is unironically better than any of the wowclone western themeparks or lineage 2 angeldemon pvp + p2w korean shit.
who dis
They went after the normalfag demographic and forgot that normalfags dont stick with tings very long. So now we're stuck with all the normalfag games while possible good ones are in development.
ergh im blarney and snormey
what game
I almost never come to mmo threads anymore. What's wrong with you
>no breasts
>no legs
>full makeup
>posing for a professional photographer
>probably suffers from anorexia: bad mood, bad breath...
no thanks, I'm incel.
Stop lying I always see you in MMO threads now come hold my hand
it takes courage to admit being one. cheers, faggot.
>nobody posted her ugly spic bf yet
lol
No and mmos are lame too now
The only other stuff on the market is p2w gookshit. I love grinding, I like power being locked behind actually playing the fucking game, not using half your paycheck as a substitute for actually playing. VR is the only chance of a revival, nobody wants to take any risks on this genre anymore.
>MMORPG
Playing games that have no literal endgame seems to like a pointless endeavour imo
What games are you playing nowadays then? also Im pretty sure I saw you posting some ArcheAge screenshots not long ago so you still play them
Never touched archeage. I have been investing my time into art or single player games. Maybe you love the wrong crowe
>Not going as far as you could for the sole purpose of experimenting and researching on how far you can bend her over
There is certainly no curiosity and scientist in you.
No I have the right Crowe I think you are just trying to throw me off but Im going to bed so I'll see you later
Hitting those limits only gets you put in prison. Women don't know what they actually want.
I just started playing Ultima
