MMOXXXs

[Caradhras]

I hate MMOs. Most have the content of the average singleplayer game but stretched out over months of playtime instead of 10 hours.

Never a truer word

I concurr.

And have you ever worked in a development group trying to make one? Misery - everybody sees it as such, and you can't break out of the limitations because nobody is willing to raise the stakes.

This is unfortunately (mostly) true, but there are some jewels in the sea of ogame clones.

I do tend to think EVE is a fascinating game tough, very different from the typical mmorpg but it surely is guilty of suck if you havn't played nonstop since the beginning, IE for years stretched out of content these days. On the other hand It has to be that way or it wouldn't work at all. It's both the strength and weakness, inseparable.

What I mean is the whole 'make-epic-ingame-history' it has going. At least in theory. The possibilities are there, intrigueing the mind, even if they are very seldom actually realised in actual play.
