If I could travel back in time and talk with Past Eliot in the year 2000, I would… well, actually, I would tell him lots of stuff, none of which is particularly relevant to this site. But if I could only tell him about video games for some reason, you’d better believe I would be telling him about Final Fantasy XIV. And he would inform me that MMOs are dumb and boring and that I should go away, and I would laugh bitterly and tell him what he’s been doing for a living for six years.
Past me is in for interesting surprises.
Let’s say you had a similarly limited portal to the past for some reason. What would you tell your past self about? What game would merit a mention? City of Heroes? Guild Wars 2? What sort of game would you have even been interested in when you were that much younger? What game would you tell your younger self about?
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!
