We got a wonderful “deep thoughts” email from reader James earlier this week that serves as the backdrop for this morning’s Daily Grind.
“It could be the whiskey talking, or the newness of coming back to a game after a year, but I am finding Final Fantasy XIV much more intellectual and meditative than World of Warcraft or Star Wars: The Old Republic, etc. What MMO makes you think the hardest while playing?”
I’m going to resist the urge and say EVE aka Spreadsheets Online and instead give my nod to Lord of the Rings Online, which always makes me feel like I’m plodding through an intentionally archaic historical novel — and I mean that in the nicest possible way. How about you folks? What do you think is the most intellectual MMORPG, the kind you can’t just faceroll your way through because it really makes you think?
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!
