The Daily Grind: When you return to an MMO, do you start over or continue?

Notably after!

Recently I loaded back up Guild Wars 2 after a multi-year absence. While I still have a strong roster of decked-out level 80 characters who haven’t done a single expansion, I decided to ignore all of them in favor of starting up a new toon for a fresh look at the game.

I do this a lot — start over, I mean. It doesn’t always make sense, but I have a harder time reconnecting with old characters than new ones that I make on the spot. And besides, it’s exciting to go through that old journey, build up a character from weenie to warrior, and hopefully continue on to lands that I haven’t seen before.

What about you? When you head back to an MMORPG that you used to play, do you pick up your old characters where they left off… or do you start over?

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!
