Silly is not always a negative, at least not to me, although it has to fit the game in question. I appreciate a whimsical and even childish quest, character, or object here or there, especially if it can make me laugh without having to retcon the entire lore of the game to make it fit.
I think that many of us have a line that can be crossed when a game tries to be too silly for its own good. Has this happened in your MMORPGs or online games? Have you found yourself rolling your eyes over the inanity rather than giggling in delight?
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!
