ive been playing mmorpg for a couple of years... but i dont think i am an expert about that
so i'd like to ask some questions

the games i played for long time are guild wars, lotro and now eve.
then i tried most of the games vanguard, wow, city of heroes, war.

many times i read stuff like "the grinding is not that bad, ive got to lv something in short time"
does it make any sense? if that means to skip most of the stuff and reach end game so fast i guess it's wrong
people complain about korean grinding game, but i guess people really enjoy l2 end game with the castle siege, or not?
im so disappointed about lotro at the end game i have to repeat stuff over and over and over and actually the game can be totally grinding, every place u go the first quests are about killing a tot of something or get a tot of something, u can reach the top level and not doing any group quests (that most of the time are so great, but so hard to find a group).

my real question is for someone who played mmo since the beginning with eq1, uo, daoc and other
if u compare those game to the new ones do u think they are all grinding?
did i really lose a great experience by not playing with those game that i cant have with new games?

about l2 i couldn't play this game, just for short time, i know there are not quests
but there are many places u can go, it's not like f2p games with really small area, so what make people go around?
what make the people what to explore all the world?

othe stuff i'd like to know... i see many people hate games,
for example aoc, i bought the game when it came out but i didnt play, i didnt like
now i played again and i have to say that it's nice game now, but the most important i didnt go around all the time saying how bad this game is, and i dont say that wow sucks just because i play lotro, or something like that...
i mean there are many games around there and many people play and enjoy even small games is there anyone else that doesnt hate any game? i dont know if i will play aion or not but i dont care to write in a forum why i think that aion will fail or stuff like that

sorry for my mistakes
im not native english

some of the older mmos had a stronger community because players had to rely on others more

and older mmos were less solo friendly

 

I dont think you are missing out on anything in the newer mmos

find a good guild to join and you can have a fun community  in any mmo
