Intentionally designed or not, every MMO and online game exudes a personality, and no two are exactly alike. It might be the cheerful anarchy of Trove, the crisp aloofness of EVE Online, the future rockstar vibe of WildStar, or the whimsical childishness of Glitch, but personalities are there. And, I think, they matter more than most people realize.

So looking down the list of games that you may or may not have played, which online title would you say has a personality that mirrors yours the best — and why?
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!
