I acknowledge the fact that not every MMO fan is craving for a more portable online gaming experience. There’s a lot of wariness out there, especially considering how mobile titles sometimes epitomize the worst aspects of microtransactions and have a much more limited ability for input and screen real estate.
Yet I hold out hope that we’ll not just see more mobile MMOs, but that there will be a big breakout hit that will be as popular as it is well-crafted. I got pretty excited this past week at seeing AdventureQuest 3D’s Kickstarter campaign, and even more excited after reading through its design and feature list. Could this be the one, even with its generic name? Or what about Albion Online? I have no idea.
What do you think? Will we ever see a smash hit mobile MMO or is such a notion merely a pipe dream?
