One habit that Lord of the Rings Online likes to do is bring back its festivals out of season for a “reprise” — a one-week return of the event so that players who missed out or who didn’t quite get everything done previously can do so without having to wait a full year.
You know what? I kind of like it. Sure, it can be a little weird to see Halloween pop up in the middle of, say, January, but why not? We’ve often complained about the pressure and inconvenience that fixed MMO festivals present, so a bit of a relief valve in the form of a reprise offers some flexibility for our schedules.
What do you think about MMO festival reprises? Do your games do them? Should they?
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!
