I think the problem is there are too many MMOs which leads to a large population of "game hoppers" that buy every new MMO when it comes out. Developers know these players aren't likely to stick around in their game all that long, so they develop games that are easy to get into so as to sell a lot of boxes but offer little substance to keep players around for the long haul because most of the players won't stick around longer than a few months regardless of what your game offers to veteran players to try to keep them interested.

Originally posted by WhiteLantern I would bet if you took the entire NA/EU playerbase that is actively playing an MMORPG, WoW and SWTOR would account for more than half of that |

I bet there's a starving child in Africa that would love to have your problem. Instead he's too busy trying to find his next meal. No wonder people in other countries hate Americans. Blame Pokket and Sally Struthers. :P

This is a feeling that crops up from time to time, dating all the way back to post UO. As new games released, I felt less and less time to play UO...but that game really was the staple of my universe for a long time. I think moving forward is easier when you can finally "break-up" with a game and "move-on". It's not so much of a relationship reference... it really is more of letting go of something you've felt you created over time. It IS getting a lot harder to do this, as I feel, the caliber of games releasing are getting better and better.
Cheers! |

Originally posted by teakbois SWTOR could possibly have less population than some ofther MMOs right now. Not sure if anyone is holding at the 600k sub spot or not. So I really wouldn't put SWTOR in the same category as WoW. SWTOR is with the rest of the MMOs. |

ROFLMAO pocket I'm in the Same situation as you! I played every single mmo ever made , I have TONS of games that would make the angry video game nerd jealous, however there's only afew I played longer than afew months, Everquest , DAoC , WoW to name afew. They need to create a mmorpg that has three to four different ways of combat , gathering crafting and housing similar to what SWG had , throw that into a sandbox world with some live events , raiding and open world pvp and we got a mmorpg! However that games doesn't exists so I am playing TSW and still enjoying it very much so! Btw how is SWTOR these days?

So many games and so little time. So many games and not enough cash to play them all. I have never limited myself to one genre or platform so that raises the amount of games to thousands I want to play but will never get the chance. If only I could create clones where I experience everything they do, then I may be able to get to them all. |

For me it's just gonna be Torchlight 2, GW2, and Borderlands 2....along with Orcs Must Die 2 which I am enjoying a lot hehe. These would last me for years until their sequals :P.
Just want GW2. |

I have the same issue, would be very happy playing any one of: Lotro, GW2, Tera, Skyrim, Darkfall, TSW, Dayz I've unsubbed Tera and Darkfall, will soon begrudgingly unsub TSW and am ignoring Dayz and Skyrim while I play Lotro and prepare for GW2. It comes down to the social aspects when all is said and done, playing Lotro with my kinship is by far the most fun and looking forward to having the same people move to GW2. There are days when I wish I could retire early and play more often, but then I stop and think about how fortunate I am that this is the sort of "problem" I have. Playing: Lotro, DFUW |

I have the same problem, but it's worse,because I've been digging out some old games. Borderlands and Diablo II were brought to mind after the Diablo III debacle. They both still rock.

There are ZERO good games out there right now unless your standards are so low you'd be willing to play something as horrible as Allods Online as your fulltime source of "fun".
Sorry, but I literally did the following after reading that column:

Originally posted by jdnyc EvE is the number 3 NA/EU MMORPG with just shy of 400k. Rift is likely fourth, and nobody knows sub numbers but I would imagine around 200kish is likely. LOTRO is probably around the same if you count f2pers. TSW or EQ2 would likely be next.
Nothing is remotely close to WoW (I would imagine its got somewhere around 2.5 mil NA/EU at this point), and SWTOR has more subs than the next two highest combined. Thats the sad state games are in right now. |

Agreed. Sadly I don't have time to play ANYTHING due to recent developments in my life. And I was really looking forward to GW2.

There are lots of games worthy of my attention but very few capable of holding it. I'm not sure if that means I agree or not.

Too many bad games. Not enough good games.

I have difficulty with multi-tasking games. It can only be one game at a time - if I switch to another then that usually means bye-bye to the original game for a good whack of time. I guess that sort of makes me monogamous! |
