The Daily Grind: Do patches compel you to return to MMOs?

Classic.

I frequently feel like an outlier among the Massively Overpowered crew. Everyone else jumps from game to game because there’s a new patch in Marvel Heroes or Trove or EverQuest II or Let’s Sit In An Empty Room And Yell At One Another IV: Deluxe Edition. Meanwhile, every week I’m playing the same games for the same reasons, and the only thing that rotates – very slowly – is what games I have on tap in general.

It’s not that patches don’t pique my interest; it’s simply that when I think about playing Star Wars: The Old Republic or Guild Wars 2 or whatever, I’m not interested in hopping in and getting a quick glance at the game because I want to be in there for the long haul.  Which gets me thinking about you, dear readers. Do you jump into a game when a new patch catches your interest? Or do you tend to stick with your games of choice through thick and thin, even if the favorites of yesterday are offering something new?

Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
