Last weekend, I was away on a mini-vacation with my kids; we zipped down to Florida for my brother’s beach wedding, then zipped back, all in the span of three days, which doesn’t seem like a lot, but again, kids. By the time we got home, I was really ready to be home. It was one of those “so glad we went, even gladder we’re back” moments that make you deeply appreciate all the stuff and comforts in your normal life and space and habits. And it wasn’t just me; my husband was in our kitchen whistling while scrambling eggs this morning, so happy to be back to our routine with our own stuff and our own favorites.
But you have to leave first to make those moments, and when I thought about it, I knew it translated immediately to MMORPGs. Tell me about a time when absence made your heart grow fonder toward an MMORPG – has there ever been a time when you left an MMORPG for a while to try something new, but it just made you appreciate even more what you already had? Do your visits to new MMOs just make you want to return your home MMO?
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!
