A few weeks back, I was proofing one of Tyler’s Not So Massively columns, when he said this:
“In general it was a very polished beta experience, with few bugs or issues to speak of. The September launch date doesn’t seem like rushing things; this game is ready.”
It leaped right out at me because I couldn’t think of a single time when that was actually true or deserved saying for an MMORPG. Ready? Ready?
Now, Tyler wasn’t talking about an MMO, of course; was was talking about a multiplayer RTS, which probably does deserve the phrase.
But MMOs? This just does not happen, does it? Am I forgetting one? Are any MMORPGs ever truly “ready” for launch when they launch?
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!
