It’s been clinically proven [citation needed] that no RPG player has ever, at any time, under any circumstance enjoyed a run through an in-game maze. In truth, players tend to loathe these sections for their confusing layouts and non-enjoyable interaction. Yet developers keep putting them in because mazes lengthen the overall gameplay clock and because they’re operating under the delusion that someone, somewhere delights over a good maze.
This plague has spread to MMORPGs, of course. And while there aren’t quite as many in-game mazes in MMOs, they do exist, and they are almost uniformly horrible. But some are worse than others, and that’s our topic of discussion today. What maze or maze-like portion of your MMO is just the absolute worst — and why?
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!
