Learning, I’ve found, is an active exercise that takes a concerted decision to start. Too often, it’s very easy to settle into what you already know and not expend the effort to add on to that, especially when it comes to games.
Yet games, especially MMORPGs, are so dense and full of systems and information that it’s nearly impossible to learn everything there is about each one. Often when I muster up the force of will to read up on a game I’m playing, I find out so many new and surprising things that I never knew before. Better yet, some of that newly acquired knowledge makes my gameplay even better than before.
What, if anything, have you learned about your MMO lately? Where do you pick that knowlege up: in-game, websites, guides, friends, or somewhere else? Let’s share with the whole class and see if we can’t educate each other a little today!
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!
