The internet has essentially killed the genre by existing in its current form. Ten plus years ago things were different, the genre was different, and people's daily lives and tastes for entertainment that enabled the genre as a whole were different. MMOs are created/updated differently now, for a different crowd and for different reasons.
Samuel Rodriguez
Classic WoW comes out that month and City of Heroes is doing pretty good right now. That's kind of it though. LFG literally killed MMOs
Hunter James
MMOs are a relic of 00s internet culture. When they stopped being about socializing they went to shit.
Michael Martin
Because MMORPGs were always horrible games that only appealed to people who had too much free time and not enough achievement in their life.
Ethan Taylor
Reminder that if you think MMOs are a games that are supposed to have:
- unrestricted pvp
- permadeath
- no dungeon finding
- massive boundless exploration
Then you actually are just talking about playing on a modded Minecraft. No MMO ever has or ever will sate those tired demands.

Just play Tibia bro
Bentley Powell
Quality of life conveniences that removed the need to communicate and cooperate killed them. Also when it stopped being about the journey but rather everything has to be about endgame content.
William Davis
Funny, use to play MMOs almost like that years ago until shit like EQ2 and WoW popularized handholding bullshit and removed any player ran content such as economy.

>Lumping in dungeon finder with things like permadeath and unrestricted PvP
The first is a "Quality of Life" feature that removes any need to do a large amount of content. The other two are gameplay elements which massively change how the game is played.
No unresitrcted PvP or permadeath is fine because you would have to design the whole game around them, and not every game should be designed with those in mind. Dungeon finder on the other hand, is harmful to any MMORPG unless if it simply doesn't have any sort of world and is just a hub MMO.

Any MMO's somewhat close to Ultima Online? Or at least a UO shard that isn't trash.
Colton Perez
you missed them. Enjoy your half-baked WoW clones
Lucas Martin
Tibia is still around.
Benjamin Cox
Because you have no friends
Austin Jones
Playing MMOs with friends is the worst mistake. You need to meet new people, not seclude yourself to your own group.
