I love it when my interest in an MMO hits those occasional spikes where I’m logging in not just because it’s what I do every day but because I’m genuinely excited to play. That may sound terrible, but MMOs are long-term experiences that often contain peaks and valleys of interest as you play through them.
For me, getting excited over a game is either when it’s brand-new, when it’s clicking hard with me for various reasons, or when I’m engaging in a cool project of some sort. Lately, I’ve been keen to get into RIFT every night because I found a welcoming guild and because I’m reconnecting with my Cleric and a fun healing build that I whipped up.
What makes you excited to log into your MMO? When’s the last time you felt that way?
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!
