It's been a long time since i've been truly in love with a mmorpg. It's really sad to say really. I don't like saying it. I have to be honest with the readers. Loving a mmorpg is just hard now of days. I always found mmorpgs to be a huge blessing in my life. Silly to say that a online game is a blessing. In all honesty. I've been blessed when it comes to playing. Not in combat, or intelligence or whatever. It's the people i meet and just the feel i get from online games. I've met some of the most peaceful people. I've met some of the most arrorgant, jerks around. Mmorpgs are a way to get anger, stress, fear, anxiety out of your system. For me, i play games whenever i am anxious or angry. I mainly use my FPS game for anger though. I'm going to correct myself right now. I love playing online/console games. It's just do i love the game? Do i hate it? Is it so-so? So-So is mostly my answer now of days. I review the game by myself. Most of the game's i've played have been so-so. They have unique features, but they blend in with the crowd. They don't shine. I've encouraged players to give time to a game. You can't really give an honest review to a game at level 10. At level 10 you have barely done anything. Maybe some quests, killed some mobs, got used to movement/attacking. The general basics. Thats how some people get first impressions. It takes a hell of a long time for me to get some first impressions. Usually around 3-4 days. I break down games into a very complex system. When i first came up with it, it took me hours and hours to finally find a good way to review and judge games.
As i mentioned before, i have met some amazing people in the gaming world. So true. I have met some of my best friends on games. You find the people you enjoy being around and you stick too it. I have quit countless games because of the community. It is very important to me. I don't think anyone wants to hang with haters and jerks. Not I. In the game i'm currently playing, i'm playing with a rather decent, helpful community. Which i love. I have a question, it usually gets answered quickly. One of my most disliked things about communities, is the haters. What i mean by that is... People who slam newbies for asking questions. We were all newbies at one time or another. Being at a high level, or high in the community doesn't mean you can slam people lower than you. Unless your in PvP. Then by all means go ahead. Haha. I will usually stick up for the person being slam and try to be as helpful as i can. I've seen people quit games over those kind of people. It is hurtful. I had a friend who thought people didn't feel emotions in avatars. Incorrect statement. Every "Avatar" is an actual person, for all you know that person could be crying his/hers eye's out. (To be honest, i have seen that happen. It is a very sad sight).
I have been intermixing blessings and cursings for online games. Curses are a little more... Your own thing. I think the biggest curse is grind. For a lot of people actually. It's different with everyone. Mine isn't so much grinding. It's the community. Which is hard to explan really. Most communities are mixed. You have the good hand, and the bad hand. I'll move unto my next biggest curse. Blending in. For games blending into the crowd is the way to go! Woot! Not for me. I'm all for the sword and shield look. Wouldn't it be fun to have a shovel for a starting weapon or... A over-sized pencil? I would laugh my ass off if that actually happened. It goes deeper than just weapons. It can be spells, armor, pets, etc. Wouldn't it be awesome to hav a choo-choo train for a mount? Going around a town on that mount would be hilarous. Who knows? Maybe someday we will have a game in which you can design your own custom items. I think developers should try that sometime. "Design your own item, or spell" Whatever it is. With that there is always the immature type of people who will put out the most wierd idea. You will always have the intelligent/mature people who shine and put out good ideas. I would just love to see that happen. More and more.
To be completely honest... Games have a lot more blessings than curses. You just really have to dig deep to find the blessings. Usually it is well worth the time and patience you put in. It's a great thing mmorpgs are. Reap the rewards and see what happens. You never know, the next free-to-play game might be your savior, or the next pay-to-play game. Dig deep and see for yourself. Only you can choose if you love or hate a game.
Thanks for reading! Cheers!
