So here’s the bad news: Your favorite MMO is going to shut down in the future. You know exactly when it’s going to happen, too. But the good news is that you, personally, get to decide how it all wraps up. You have a year or so to wrap up everything in the game, answer every lore question, and give the game a proper send-off. Budget and development time aren’t an issue; the only issue is what you can think of as a grand finale.
The reality, of course, is that this very rarely happens. But what if it did? How would you end your favorite MMO? Would you elevate your friends and your roleplaying to canonical status? Would you wrap up existing storylines? Have big dungeons? Small dungeons? Just solo content? Would you simply have a bunch of naked people dancing for a week? (You wouldn’t even know that was out of the ordinary for Second Life.) If you could do anything to wrap up the experience of playing the game, how would you end it?
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!
