I’ve noticed that several of my friends have taken to drawing up monthly goals for their MMO sessions, an activity that I’ve been doing as well. It helps my focus to state what I want to accomplish in several titles, with the foreknowledge that I’ll be evaluating that progress at the end of the month, or week, or whatever.
I have a lot on my plate right now, to be sure. I’m slowly leveling up a Shaman in World of Warcraft, I want to get my Captain caught up in Lord of the Rings Online’s epic story, and I would love to see WildStar’s new Arcterra zone before too long. Putting goals on (virtual) paper to do these things gives me some extra motivation in case I get distracted.
Maybe you don’t play that way. Maybe you’re a free spirit who does whatever feels natural on any given day. But if you’re the goal-oriented type, I’d love to hear from you today. What are your current MMO goals? What games do you want to pick up and try? What do you want to accomplish in your favorite titles?
