There are some games we just declare that we’re done playing forever. There are usually good reasons for it, even; decisions are made with the design of the game, a new expansion is launched, you have a long-standing and established habit of proclaiming that you’ll never play again before every expansion. But there’s often a corollary that if something changed, maybe you would consider going back once again, even if you don’t see that actually happening.
For example, you might have decided that you’re not going back to World of Warcraft ever… but in your mind, you might go back if the game ever offered housing. You’re never playing Star Wars: The Old Republic again… unless the game starts releasing updates to its starfighter PvP. You’re done with EVE Online forever… until your friends start playing again. Regardless of the likelihood of it happening, what would make you reconsider playing an MMO you’ve sworn off forever?
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!
