Many old-school gamers find that modern MMORPGs are not as good as the old ones. But was everything really better in the past? We discuss this in the MeinMMO podcast.
This is the topic: MMORPGs have a long history, dating back to the 1990s. In the years since the emergence of the MMORPG genre, much has changed, and the games have evolved.
However, not all of these changes have been perceived positively by gamers. Nowadays, it is often said that the old games were much better than anything that is released today.
In the latest episode of our podcast, we compare the MMORPGs of the past with those of today. We address questions such as:
- What was different about MMORPGs in the past? What has changed?
- Did developers really make fewer or no mistakes back then?
- What are the pro and con arguments for “Everything was better back then”?
- Will there be MMORPGs in the future that captivate and engage players like before?
Listen in and find out the answers to these questions. Notable MMORPGs discussed include Dark Age of Camelot, Guild Wars 1 and 2, Black Desert Online, WoW, and ESO.
Who is participating? The podcast is hosted by Leya Jankowski from the chief editorial team. Editorial director Gerd Schuhmann and MMORPG author Alexander Leitsch join her and philosophize about the development of the genre.
