Post - Fed up of Fantasy MMORPG

mmarsh · December 22nd, 2006

Is it just me? but I am so sick of the fantasy adventuring motif in MMORPG. Think about it. WOW, Guild Wars, Everquest I+II, Ultima Online, Dark Age of Camelot, Dungeons and Dragons Online, plus factor in Vanguard, Conan, LOTR MMORPG, Warhammer Online and a few other that will be released in 2007.

To many knowledge there are only City of Heroes/Villians, EVE Online, Auto Assault, SW Galaxies already out with Pirates of the Burning Sea and Star Trek coming out later. Many of those released are rubbish.

Like games based on WWII, Its just been done to death, unless its truly exceptional, its now Boring.

Cannot developers find a more original motif? The only only ones I find exciting are DDO (I like DnD, thats the only reason) Warhammer (because its not a adventuring MMORPG but one based on military campaigns. You are a soldier on the frontlines for the armies of Good or Evil) and Pirates (because I like 18th century naval stories).

Why not use Star Wars (Everybody says Galaxies is garbage), Warhammer 40000, the Mechwarrior universe.

End rant.

Any thoughts?
