Not for MMOs, just in general, which genre do you prefer. Fantasy doesn't have to mean LotR, it can include more realistic IPs like Conan. Sci-fi includes steampunk, cyberpunk, etc.

"Easy" only equals "better" for crack addicts and MMORPG developers. |

Personally I didn't vote. I could enjoy either, if it is a well done game. One thing I do hate is when games try and mix the two genres together. Like a fantasy warrior going up against a futuristic warrior. One brings a big knife and the other brings a big gun...ya...that is a fair fight.

Sci-fi. But I love other genres besides Sci-fi/fantasy also. Such as post-apocalyptic (Fallen Earth!), and modern settings. Currently restarting World of Warcraft :/ |

Players come for the game, but they stay for the people- Most Devs have forgotten this. |

I like both, but I'm really wanting a good sci-fi MMO besides EVE. Current: None |

Originally posted by GreenChaos I'd play that one. I hate WoW because it made my plush hamster kill himself, created twin clones of Hitler, punched Superboy Prime in reality, stared my dog down, spoiled my grandmother, assimilated me into the Borg, then made me into a real boy, just to make me a woman again. |

Didnt Vote. All depends on what the game is like.

If I could pick between two equally good games, I would choose the sci-fi themed one. |

While the whole Fantasy/big sword/magic thing is fun I prefere SciFi and IMHO there is a sad shortage of them in MMO's atm. Looking forward to a few on the way though |

I like both sci-fi and fantasy. But if I have to choose one I would choose sci-fi.

Originally posted by GreenChaos I regret including one catagory - modern/historical. Meaning based on real life events, facts, or technology, without going too off context it becomes it's own fantastical universe. Sword of the New World doesn't count, as it is fantasy. Fallout 3 may still be a "retro" apocalypse, but it is still science fiction, as it takes place hundreds of years into the future with technology in fully-functional service and combat robots, new laser weapons, armour, etc.

I honestly have to go with Fantasy, Thats all I played since I started in the MMORPG industry. Theres alot of story to each of them with little to learn and easy to follow if your a slow thinker. Scifi games are fun to, dont get me wrong. EVE online is pretty tight. Although Warhammer Online and Atlantica Online are my two fav games.

Anything goes as long as its a good game. Any setting, any timeline, any level of fantasy, any level of sci-fi, any "punk" attached to it... don't even care if I'm controlling a car, ship, spaceship, avatar or a robot. ...as long as its a good game! Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference. -Author unknown, attributed to Mark Twain |

Quality. There are good storys and good settings. But If you are a "creative" producer, and you are allowed/capable of is space marines and medieval paladins, you are unable to produce quality. Yea, you will make maybe the best space marine ever or paladin evern, but that is, quality of craft, quality of creativity of how to acomplish that absolutelly lack of originality target.
