MMORPG's are Dead?

[125]

I dunno I would say mmos are going stronger than ever. Over the past decade they've gradually shifted from extremely hardcore to very casual-friendly. This turns off some of the old school players but it makes them a lot more accessible and widens the audience base, which is a net win for the devs.

I spent years online with games like Lineage II, where I had so many friends to raid monsters with.

with the way companies are profiting of trends and stuff, I really dont see any triple A mmo's making a comeback ever

Hello guys, as a big fan of MMORPG's, I feel like fans of the genre are not and will not be lucky.

I've crossed amazing games such as WoW, Cabal Online, Metin2, etc but the graphics are too old, and there is no decent friendly player base. I mean, where is that hype of jumping in the game, meeting people, playing with people, having lot of things to do? Now I feel like it's mostly solo playing, and the new MMORPG's out there are those asian cash grabbers shit, or even promising titles like Black Desert Online is mostly an AFK Simulator.

I really hope a big game will come soon, because I'm starting to lose hope when a "new published title" is for example WoW Classic. People starting to play a game that was release over a decade ago is just a huge facepalm.

What do you guys think?

I think with a good MMORPG with nice graphics, like Genshin Impact and PSO2, I think MMORPG still have a bright future.

PC is better

I think desire is there from the fans, it's just the creators are out of ideas or being stifled by profiteering. We've yet to have a modern mmo hit all the right spots for some reason, even though the makers all know the things that the fans want. I guess Ashes of Creation success or failure will be a big point in the genre as FFXIV and WOW can only go on for so long.

Games like WIldstar had so much potential, but they went too far to hardcore, SWTOR forgot it was an MMO and even the money of Amazon cant buy a decent game. I feel like devs are trying to hard when the answer has never changed. We want good PVE, PVP that is fun but doesn't impact those not interested (and a team capable of balancing). Good social systems and crafting. A business model that isn't greedy.

Everyone is certainly tired of this genre. Have grown out of it. And the new generation is not up to it. And the old wants more rest and beauty.
