Across the MMORPG universe, gamers are always asking, what should I play? It’s in our comments, on Reddit, in every guild and global chat channel, and surely in every Discord chat that’s ever seen the letters “MMO” uttered. We get so many podcast emails asking for advice on what to play that I fear we’re repeating ourselves.
I’ve always kind of suspected that most of the time, when we get to the point that we’re asking strangers what to play, we already know there isn’t anything we haven’t already tried and we’re just casting about in hope and desperation. But I know it’s not true; sometimes, other people can point you back to a game you’d dismissed, giving you a new perspective or forcing you to rethink the one you formed ages ago. For example, reader recommendations that I give Trove another try got me back in there and loving it.
On the other hand, I wonder how many times I’ve recommended something only to have the person try it and hate it. I know I got a few people back into Ultima Online for F2P, for example, but I also know some folks who now think I am nuts, in spite of my million caveats. When was the last time somebody recommended an MMO to you that you actually wound up liking?
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!
