AMAZON'S LORD OF THE RINGS MMO THREAD.

Got no problem with an MMO being a grind, most MMOs are, my issue with New World always was (and still is) that its just a very poor MMO, lacking in most of the features that ought to be in an MMO imo.

For me, its one of those "MMOs" which is for people who never got to be around during the golden age of MMOs (the pre-2004 era) and so never got to play MMOs like UO, Daoc, EQ1, AC1 and SWG and as a result unfortunately arent aware of just how much can actually be in an MMO or how good they truly can be.

The MMO genre used to be my favourite genre of gaming (back in the pre2004 days) but they are so dumbed down now and its maddening that MMOs in 2023 actually have less features that ones from 25 years ago. Thats regression rather than progression.

Do you play Mortal Online 2? It's an Ultima Online spiritual successor.

Dont think I ever tried that one, meant to but something else came along and took all my gaming time and then I never ended up going back to check out MO

That's the thing though everybody talks about those early days hardcore MMOs but nobody wants to play that kind of MMO nowdays.

I do.

I should also say though that it wasnt being "hardcore" that made UO, Daoc, AC1, SWG etc great MMOs, it was the features in them. Features that many MMOs are now missing these days... things like shared dungeons rather than instanced dungeons, penalties for death, housing that is actually in the gameworld not instanced, player owned ships, viable classes which involve zero combat at all, even really basic stuff like being able to sit in a chair not "on" a chair and many many more, the original MMOs like UO had so much more depth to them, so many more features that were geared to (shock, horror) roleplay in a roleplay game. So much more that you could do other than quest/kill/loot (UO of course didnt even have quests). The newer MMOs are just so dumbed down, so lacking in features, they are the Michael Bay of MMOs
