Even on Good Friday, it is once again time to explore your opinions and experiences. The question is: Which MMO do you associate with a love-hate relationship? Which MMO can you never quite let go of because something keeps pulling you back there?
For me, this question is quite easy to answer: SWTOR. No other game have I uninstalled so many times only to download it again a few months later.
Sometimes it is the class stories that pull me back into the sci-fi MMO, sometimes it is the arguably best battleground in the world (Huttball!). Usually, this enjoyment lasts only weeks or even just a few days before I get upset about little things that ruin my gaming fun. Why are the jump modules in PvP still not working properly after three years? Why does the Jedi quest line resemble the Sith counterpart so much?
When I think to myself: “This time you will stay in data nirvana”, I get asked by former RP acquaintances if I would like to drop by with my Twi’lek on Nar Shaddaa again.
As soon as the air is out of the roleplay, I suddenly have the urge for a new twink, who at level 30, like so many before him, is sent into undeserved retirement. And that is usually the time when the game disappears into oblivion again… until the vicious circle begins anew. Somehow, the universe always manages to lure me back into its grasp, even if only for a short time. I’m afraid that the new movies will tempt me once again to make the internet connection work overtime for a night.
Which game do you feel similarly about and why? Which MMO never quite disappears from your life, even though you have closed it more than once? Tell us about it in the comments!
