As we grow older and go through different phases in our lives, our gaming patterns and habits change. I used to be all about the first-person shooters and real-time strategy titles back in the day, and nowadays I barely touch either. Even when I stay in the same genre of gaming — such as MMORPGs — those habits have a tendency to morph over time.
For example, I used to do marathon gaming sessions as a bachelor that I can’t even conceive of as a married dad of four today. Years ago, I was a lot more tolerant of insane grinds and even briefly got into the raiding scene. I also stuck with one game at a time, mostly due to the subscription fee, which is as far as possible from my MMO juggling of today.
What about you? What did you used to do a lot in MMOs that you don’t today? Why did that trend change for you?
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!
