Maybe I get inside my own head too much, but I always experience inner turmoil when I start or come back to an MMO after it’s been out for a good amount of time. Say, five years or more. I can’t even see most of the community from the starting line, they’re that far ahead, and I fret that I’ll never catch up or get acclimated into an established title.
Plus, sometimes I worry that coming late to a game might put me in danger of falling in love with it right before its cancellation is announced. That’s morbid, but it’s where my head goes!
I have pushed myself through all of these admittedly frivolous doubts, but I was wondering how you all deal with similar feelings. When you get hit with that sense that it’s too late to start an MMO, how do you get over that?
