Generally, but not always, I like to have a science fiction (or science fantasy, if we’re being pedantic) MMORPG in my gaming rotation for a refreshing change of pace to the sword-and-sorcery online games that are out there. Hey, I like fantasy just as much as anyone else, but sometimes a gamer wants to travel to the stars, you know?
I’ve enjoyed a nice range of sci-fi MMOs over the years, with my favorites being Star Trek Online, WildStar, Anarchy Online, and Star Wars: The Old Republic. I’m also gratified to see a slew of new sci-fi titles on the horizons, such as Blue Protocol, Zenith, Dual Universe, Life Beyond, and more.
What is — or was — your favorite science fiction MMORPG? What did you love most about it?
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!
