I am nothing if not a creature of habit, and one of those habits is to revisit MMOs that I’ve previously played and left. I like to “check in” with these old haunts about once a year to see if there’s anything new to suck me in or if I’ve simply come back around to wanting to settle back in to a particular title.
Recently I wrapped up a month of Final Fantasy XIV, which I find that I’m revisiting every spring. It’s long enough to have a bit of fun but also to be reminded why this game isn’t quite up my alley (the classes and combat don’t really excite me, for starters). But even if it didn’t end up bringing me back in, I was happy to say hi to old friends and toss in a dash of different gaming flavor to my routine.
What about you? How often do you revisit MMOs of your past and what have you found in them lately?
