That's why I pick 5 games for a year:
MMO: GW2 F2P MMO: Vindictus FPS: Blacklight: Retribution Fighter: Tekken 6 (soon to be Tekken Tag) Casual: Skyrim (soon to be Dark Souls)
Only 1 game can fill each slot at a time. We’ll stop to sleep when the game is the best possible game we think it can be. We’ve seen the population of the game steadily rising lately and we’re not going to sit on our butts and congratulate one another, we’re going to try and build on that momentum and make the game even better. -Colin johanson on GW2 |

i totally understand Pokket. You have become an important person (like a regional manager) and you are busy, very busy. so many things on the go, so many games to have to keep up with, and unlike all these bozos above i'm here to help. what you need is an assistant to the regional manager. i'll be your assistant. for a very (relatively) minimal monthly fee i shall get your WoW priest and druid ready, get your guns/food in Dayz or do whatever you need....i'll even force myself to reinstall TOR for you :P ...AND i'm Canadian so you'll be saving .0009 cents on every dollar you pay me. Win/win. call me.....:D |

The bright side is at least we have plenty to pick from. I suffer from the same problem, never focusing on any game for too long. Whatever I'm in the mood for, I play from an ever increasing list of roughly 10 games. I'ts all FTP or PTP's fault.

Water, water everywhere and not a dop to drink :)
- Al Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse. |

Originally posted by nuttob amen to that! brother (sister?) I currently have....27 game icons on my desktop (not counting the 4 games I'm beta testing) and my steam games are way up in the 30's. I like options but the amount of fairly decent FTP stuff around (not neccessarily RPG's, tho GW2 needs to hurry up :) ) has given me way to much of a diversion World of Tanks I really enjoy, and play ton's.. but I have games I've spent £30-40 on that I've hardly touched. damn.. I haven't even used my PS3 in months I've been gaming a long time and it is a good time to be a gamer, some really good titles out there and better ones coming!, oh btw this is all IMO incase anyone was about to explode |

Exact opposite problem for me. Too much crap on the market currently.

I find the problem isn't too many games, but not enough games worth playing. I never had this problem 6 years ago. The MMO industry must have decided to take the lemmings approach and blindly throw themselves off a cliff while we frantically throw money at them to try to get them through to their next horrible decision.

You enjoy SW:TOR and WoW... It's no wonder you have too many games. A large portion of the population considers those games to be... Well not fun (no offense meant, I actually enjoyed WoW at a certain point).

I've not really devoted any time to MMO's lately simply because RL keeps me to busy. My two biggest passions, MMA and gaming are falling by the wayside and I barely have time to do either these days. I almost feel like I'm missing out though because a few years ago I would have been able to find the time to sample many of the current games, both console and PC MMO's, on the market. I also tend to find something enjoyable or special about a game that others think is shite, and at least I'd give it a go if it turned out to actually you know, be shite. The only viable solution is to change the damn length of a day to 36 hours instead of 24. |

Clarity may be necessary for a statement such as that. I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil |

I only play MMORPGs so there's not enough of them imo. I haven't had an mmo to play that was decent in over 2 years. In that time I briefly played SWTOR (less than a month) and was in several beta testings for games. Finally, GW2 comes out soon and PS2 is in beta. I finally have 2 good mmo's I can play, even though PS2 is sorta a mmofps. There are not enough GOOD MMORPG's.

I agree with Pokket and she didn't even address the huge backlog of non-MMOs she/we all probably have. There are a lot of fun games to be played!!

Maybe you should quit working for MMORPG.com and streaming entirely. Then you'd have plenty of time.

Don't have to quit, just find some peeps to delegate to or just skip over the mediocre stuff or just do them as you please, I like option 3

My problem is I like them all too. I find myself on my druid in wow and thinking to myself. i want to go blow some people up in my M110. Then i'll be in World of Tanks getting coin to repair my M110 (which is outrageously expensive lol) and say to myself. I want to go siege some keeps in DAoC! So after some time and several keeps going the way of Midgard, I find myself saying, I want to go push a lane in LoL! Then after a few games, I find myself saying, let's go back to tanks, but I want to fly a helicopter and blow them up with heat seeking missles in BF3...I never stay with a single game in a single day lol.

This site alone lists 575 MMOs and that doesn't count alot of the browser based which brings in quite a few also...... That is ALOT of games.....When I started in early 2000 I only remember a couple of MMOs being around......I know some of you refer to games like Meridian 59, but I really dont ever remember that being an option, at least not one I ever saw that could be bought in the store......With our options only being 4 or 5 games, we mainly stuck to those games for quite awhile paying a monthly sub as there weren't alot of other multi-player games back then...... Now there are too many games.....I find that I have little patience when I try a new game because it is so easy to just find something else.....Also I have little desire to pay much for a new game because I know I can always play many of them for free, and the ones that are p2p jsut aren't worth paying for IMO......Slowly some of these games will die out just due to a lack of a playerbase, but there were also be more games added in the meantime......As consumers it isn't a bad thing as we have literally tons of options, but sometimes too many choices can be a bad thing.
