what happened to MMOs?

Devs catered to MTX and sold out making grinding useless and players got too demotivated to play.

the best mmo of the century has an open test right now

No idea what game you are talking about, but I'm sure it'll be the next big thing, champ.

Retarded tier list.

>>713389378
This is a big part of it. MMOs nowadays get made as cash grabs that focus on recouping all the investment in the launch sales batch and then milk the game to death with MTX. They aren't interested in making a good long term game that players stick with.

MMOs were a millennial thing
zoomers dont care

>>713389979
zoomies grew up with soulless corponet filled with corpomedia

they have no idea how good we had it

>>713389275 (OP)
Guild Wars 1 wasn't an MMO.
This thread is retarded.

>>713389275 (OP)
People finally understood that they were wasting literal weeks to level up their characters one time.

posted it again award

>imagine being the Ashes of Creagaytions guy
he's literally making a game for no one lmao

one big problem I see with these forever early access games is that once they come out in 1.0 they're going to have a population of veterans who know everything about the game, everything will be datamined and documented and as a result the charm of a new release will be missing entirely

200X World of Warcraft has set the bar too high.

>>713390965
200X WoW is what killed the genre because nobody wanted to experiment and innovate.

Every time I bother to check their news they're selling new skins for a fucking pre-Alpha 2 game.
They show enough gameplay footage that I don't think it's a scam but it is really trying so fucking hard to be its unreal.

>>713389275 (OP)
they died only for the leftover ones to be carried by nostalgic whales or fans

It might also be that literally every single app tries to take away your attention and using psychological tricks to keep you there. So the F2p that would normally fill up your MMO are now just doing other things.

Forever games are dying. People need games to have an ending. It's why koreans are starting to make single player games.

>>713389718
apogea of course

>>713389979
I tried getting into MMOs when I was a kid, but they felt like senseless grinding and I didn't yet understand the fun of RP. Add in the microtransactions or $15/month sub, and it just made no sense.

how come the only two mmorpg that are alive are always rated low compared to mmorpgs that are dead as fuck

>>713391827
yeah and gachas
>>713393940
because maybe they have better staying power thanks to their economies

It's okay for a genre to be niche.

does pic rel count as a MMO?
