One of my all-time favorite things to do in MMORPGs is to wipe the slate clean and start over. I’ve been going nuts doing that this month, rerolling in several of my favorite games and experiencing that “fresh character smell” that hints of possibility and future adventures.
Sure, this isn’t always practical if you have limited time and want to actually see content past the starting zones, which is why I don’t do it all the time. But sometimes… sometimes it’s nice to embark on a new adventure with a different character, you know?
So what about you? How often do you start over in MMOs — and have you done so this year yet?
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!
