FPS Games Are Thieves!
They keep stealing great ideas from MMOs, like character advancement and avatar customization. It sucks! I’m tired of them taking many of the things that make me really love playing MMORPGs and putting them in games that I can play in short stints. How am I to control myself if I can have fun and feel satisfied with my play experience both short term and long term in an FPS? Back in the old days, I had FPSes for a quick fix of fun, and MMORPGs for longer term character development. Now FPSes have both! BAH! And MMOs are getting the short term fun too… NOOOooooo!
You’re running out of ideas, aren’t you?
Global Agenda ftw!
Yes, Bryan. I’ve been playing the Call of Duty games and I’m on a general FPS kick, which means I have nothing good to write about related to MMOs.
Sorry man, hybrid genre’s are the way to go. You telling me you are not the least bit curious about MAG?
^ no apostrophe.
Ryan, if you have 360 and xbox live, try Castle Crashers. Think Double Dragon + Fantasy + MMORPG.
Awesome.
I wish MMORPGs would steal ideas from FPS games.
Crimson, where do you think MMOs got instanced PvP matches?
I was talking more about some of the other aspects (but I agree with you). Recommend you read:

MMO sitting times
Saves me having to type it out again
