There’s a small story behind that screenshot up there. I was playing Star Trek Online, and during a boss fight I was stricken by a rather nasty DoT. While I won the fight, I saw that my death was imminent, so the second that I got the option to beam back to my ship, I clicked it — right as my character slumped to the ground. My crew transported my corpse aboard. I imagine there was an awkward silence afterward.
Some MMORPGs tend to kill us more than others. Maybe they’re just tougher, or death is more of a fact of life in those titles. Perhaps we just are terrible at that particular game. But when you look back at your entire gaming career, which MMO has killed you more than others on average?
For me, I’ll have to say The Secret World. That title seems to delight in making me faceplant, sometimes for the egregious sin of merely logging into the game. What about you?
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!
