Star Trek Online has a bit of an advantage when it comes to giving me a place to hang my hat – it’s really easy for the game to make me feel like the bar in the game is a familiar place when it’s Quark’s bar on Deep Space 9, a bar that exists in my head already due to seven seasons of the eponymous show. Even as you trek across the universe, you still want a comfortable bar to return to. Not that it’s alone in that; Star Wars: The Old Republic has its cantinas, World of Warcraft has its inns, Final Fantasy XIV has the neverending bacchanalia of Eulmore.
But which one feels familiar? That one’s going to vary based on the person. Some people find the wood and roaring fire of classic WoW inns to feel like home. Others really get comfortable being able to slide onto a stool in a cantina. And some of us feel most comfortable playing darts while aliens play an inscrutable gambling game behind us. What about you, readers? Which MMO has the most familiar-feeling bars and taverns 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!
