I know it’s hard to be innovative when it comes to MMOs, because there is only so much you can change.
This is not because I’m a hardcore WOW fan (I like the game … very much yes) and everything else sucks, but rather because developers don’t really do anything that would stand out and grab my attention. In truth, no matter what anyone tells me, World of Warcraft is the MMO, which sets the standards of other MMOs and if I have to be precise, when I try out something new, I see so much of WoW in it, that I just go like “Why am I even playing this, when I can just go back to WoW?”.
The amount of MMOs out there is quite insane (or too damn high as the meme goes) and I can say that I’ve tried the lot of them, yet so far I haven’t really seen anything that would captivate me or at least make me want to come back after I’ve grown bored of it.
