Now It's A Threesome?

I've also got some things on my mind about MMOs. These days I'm starting to spend less and less time playing MMOs, and I think it's mostly because the gameplay they offer is starting to bore the crap out of me, though I guarantee you I've played my fair share.

I think we've all noticed how eerily similar MMOs are becoming in terms of the fantasy genre. When I played Vanguard upon its release, I didn't eventually quit because of the problems it was having. It was because I felt like I'd already played the game for 3 years before I even bought it. I'm sick of this level grinding, archetype, linear fairy bullshit.

But not all of the fault rests upon the developers' shoulders. The consumer has to pony up the cash, and continue doing so in order to keep the game going. It all boils down to that bottom line, and they keep on making games based on formulas that have been known to bring in lots of cash. I can only hope that some game company will have the testicular fortitude to try and make something different.
