MMORPGs have an impossible problem: If they patch whenever they can – big patches, small patches, whatever is finished and ready to go – then they have no pattern. They seem scattershot and messy and undependable. But if they patch on a regular cadence like clockwork, they get a little too predictable, and we take them for granted. How do they split the difference? Well, I’ll tell you as soon as somebody does it well!
In the meantime, let’s talk about the predictable ones. What’s the most predictable MMORPG? What MMO can you be absolutely sure will deliver something on a rock-solid schedule, to a specific degree of quality, no muss no fuss, just totally trustworthy and regular, competence as routine? And as a bonus question… are you content with predictable?
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!
