I thought instead of changing the blog header to the theme of the game I am playing – why not just put ALL the games I’ve played or play now up there! I think I got them all – at least these are ones I played for more than a few weeks. Currently, I am in Fallen Earth. What is next? Im guessing Tera or Guild Wars 2. Both games are working very hard at giving us something new with Tera gobbling up talent each week, to GW2 that wants to make MMOs more of an RPG experience. I think WoW has reached its pinnacle and is now on the way back down the slope. I’m sure I will return to Azeroth again at some point.
WoW is slightly spoiling or corrupting players in that any new game they try seems too complicated. I’ve heard it more than once from existing WoW players after trying out a new game. And how when they are in the new game, they complain how something should be more like WoW. GET OVER IT! Give it more than a day…open your mind to new experiences! WoW is an excellent game, it irritates me when people bash it when they never gave it a chance…but the same goes for the WoW lovers.
Give other games a chance! I didn’t like Anarchy Online the first time I tried it. Then a month later I gave it another shot and stayed there a few years and even GM’d a bit. I didn’t really care for WoW the first week either…but yet it consumed a few years of my life! Another game I disliked was Guild Wars – got in on their opening week and played an hour and didn’t care for it. A few years later, I gave it a shot again and it is really a great game (Which I have yet to finish the storylines).
So my words of wisdom to you are: Give other games a chance and DON’T compare them to the game you currently play (They aren’t the same game!)
Just went back to WoW after over a year off. Maybe I will see you on again. Would be cool to lvl like the old days of BC together. Miss ya
