You know, for probably understandable reasons, playing Final Fantasy XIV right now has me thinking about queues! We’ve all had to deal with them at some point while playing MMOs, and they basically always suck because you’re just waiting in line, just waiting, waiting until you can get into play and still waiting and let me in I want to play your video game! So, you know, the frustration element right there means that no one is going to look at queues with anything approaching fondness or nostalgia.
Still, there are queues and then there are bad queues. Not just long, but unreliable ones, games that aren’t very stable even when you do get logged in, queues that pop up weird errors, queues that don’t move, and so forth. Not all queues are created equal, in other words. So what’s the worst MMO queue you’ve ever experienced? And, as a natural follow-up, when you finally got through the waiting, was it worth the wait?
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!
