      That's actually not a bad thing. Over the last decade or so it seemed like everyone was churning out MMO's trying to cash in on WoW's success. Some were good, some were decent, but a lot of them were just bad. It just makes sense that the bad ones and even some of the decent ones will die off. IMO, there is far too much deadwood in the MMO market as it is a lot more of them need to give up and die off, especially the cash shop heavy, pay to win titles.

      Because MMO's became big business.
      Most of the best MMO's were created by gamers who wanted to create quality games. They started out as passion projects. Then the bean counters showed up, bought out the studios and tried to turn the games into cash cows.
      WoW was doing very well, until Activision showed up. Most of the MMO's getting churned out nowadays are over monetized pieces of crap. Steam is loaded with them.

    As a LOTRO player who has played it for 15 years it pains me to agree with you. Its not been my main game for years but there is no other game out there that lets me hang out in ME and brings to life Tolkiens world.

      @mercster 3 місяці тому +4

      As I stated above... LOTRO has been "dying" for years now, limping along with a small but dedicated fanbase. But I tell ya what... it is a wonderful thing. No, it's not for the hypebeast kids out there. It's slow, clunky and kind of a sprawling mess. Its systems and level of graphical fidelity are way behind the times. But it is still a gorgeous work of stunning beauty to life-long lovers of Tolkien's works, and I hope it stays up as long as possible. The degree of care and love with which most of the LOTR world (and, yes, some fanciful additions) was put together is unrivaled in terms of dedication to the source material. And even though it is graphically "outdated", it really does still look great in an old-school way. Especially when you visit places you've read and imagined about for decades.

    I doubt an old engine would stop players from playing ESO. I also doubt that the game is outright going to disappear. However, it has definitely started the shift into maintenance mode. I'm more convinced than ever that the hardware and software upgrades they invest in so much were just so that they could cut run costs as much as possible and allow them to more effectively scale the amount of processing required based on demand. Content is also becoming more scarce and it looks like they'll be focusing more and more on procedural stuff - which lends itself to a smaller crew and yet lower running costs. But the game will likely still be around for a long, long time. At the very least it will be a safe and easy fallback for them to make some basically-free cash while they stumble all over their new project and mess up everything left and right.

    • @rofo2107
      @rofo2107 3 місяці тому

      you are wrong. the old engine means more costs. the code is in such bad shape it would be easier to write a brand new game from the scratch then refactor the existing one or migrate to new engine. And if the game is slow, unreliable and full of bugs even on new hardware, it is end of the product life. to be fair, the first designers of TESO made very bad design. The Cyro will never work. You just cant have huge open world PVP map with hundreds of players as it is lagging even on up to date engines and super powerful hardware. All games today are not doing that. You can have big open world map with 3-4 teams up to 50 ppl and wait times and limited duration around 20 minutes maximum. But they designed neverending campaign for 400 people available 24/7 in ESO. These people should be kicked the very first day they released the Cyro idea. They nearly destroyed the whole game and the consequences are visible even after 10 years. This stupid idea cost millions of $$$$ just on hardware.

There is zero incentive to re-write a massive engine from scratch when they are making money hand-over-fist as it is with what they have. Or was I wrong about people still playing games on such old engines? Considering people still play games much older, I think that argument can be dismissed right out of hand. Perhaps I was wrong about the game shifting into maintenance mode? Then why did you yourself suggest that the game was at its end of life? Maybe I'm wrong about them stumbling over the next project?

    I agree with your reasons but I think it's only if other new good MMOs hit the market. Part of the reason that these old MMO are still around is there is just nothing new and good out there to replace them. All it would take is a superior MMO that hits the same genre notes as any of the games you listed to start to push player numbers to a dangerous area. The MMO releases just have been abysmal for a very long time. I think players are literally starving for a new and great MMOs and when it happens you are going to see a major collapse of old MMOs.

    SWTOR's biggest strength is also it's biggest weakness. It's bioware-style questlines make playing through the story an amazing experience. But once you run out of story, all you're left with is a postgame that has to work with scraps after the fully voiced cutscenes take most of the budget. Idk how many times I've hit level cap in SWTOR and quit once the non-story systems had to carry the game.

      ​@@chrisj320ac3 1-50 each of the 8 stories are all pretty unique, but they all converge once you play the expansions. Each one has a different hook and the whole story is tuned to your class; For example, a bounty hunter will spend the first chapter participating in a bounty hunting competition to become an honorary mandalorian while the imperial agent is hunting members of a terrorist organization. For me the 3 standout stories were Smuggler, Sith Warrior, and Imperial agent. The Imperial agent is by far the best and actually has some secret endings if you pick the right dialogue option at the right time. Despite that, I'd say all of them (other than Jedi Consular) are worth playing. In my opinion, it's worth paying $15 for a month of preferred status and playing through the story if you're a fan of Bioware storytelling.

    These games each had strengths that made them stand out from each other, but their faults sunk them into the state they are today. New World is very immersive visually, more so than the majority of mmorpgs. Unfortunately New World's problems are everything not pertaining to the visual immersion. SWTOR had a good story that got you hooked, with fall damage, but as soon as you got off the rails from the main story line, what was available for content just didn't seem enjoyable. ESO is probably the least dead, as I still see adverts for upcoming expansions, ESO's strength is also it's weakness, you can go pretty much anywhere you want, and if everywhere is special, nothing is. MMORPG's aren't dying out due to lack of interest, they are dying out because they antithetical to the current AAA game company philosophy. MMORPG's require massive amounts of effort, talent, ambition to create, the investment required to start is much higher, and there's also a higher investment to maintain the game. What's the push so far? Cheap, quick, low effort, with parasitic IP destruction to create enough hype to generate sales.

    I believe TESO will live if Elder Scrolls 6 flops. If ES6 success, I might take away all the solo players. The base player is pretty loyal to the Elder Scrolls franchise, more than being a good or bad MMO. A favor note for TESO is that, along GW2, are the only two MMO that you can really play for free when you start and continue playing with a low money investment.
    Similar to TESO goes with SWTOR, although I would say that STWOR is already in a semi-maintenance mode.

With Loyal, Consistent and fairly Plentiful (for not everyone`s cup of tea game) server population. Let`s not lie about it Strong AF Road Map (I mean I am not even artificially overly glorifying as someone that plays the game. I've been playing this mmorpg for the past 7 years straight and needless to say a lot of it bores me, a lot of the high end content is not obtained (to not say non obtainable) by me and yet whatever they've said is coming, weather I can actually obtain and make use of it and/or play trough it.. or not... still excites me. For example the previous highest end Item of a Type they've added... I still haven`t gotten ~4 months or something latter... the next 3 Items that will gradually be introduced with their own bits of game content... areas, monsters, quests... etc... will be harder since they are the most character/game defining slots... the 3 weapon slots (best for last as they say, but one does not simply get in BDO). However here comes Best >... After those 3 Item slots... There is Black Desert have very hard, very slow and/or However it is so made (and that was clear from minute one for everyone that understands anything of item progression in games) that it is . Meaning once you are done with your itemization you are done with it. Now let me not underestimate the Koreans and if they can think of further ways to progress in later years beyond items... maybe 2nd selectable out of few sub class with (however that have physical limitation of key combos that can be used within the action combat system on the keyboard , that in itself is nearly maxed as it is). To make what I've said about the items more understandable, I will give example with the other that can be found in most other mmorpgs (there is 3rd ARPG style, but that is yet to be seen in mmorpgs)... Basically Item level... where the only thing that ever happens is with every next expansion or DLC... the Numbers Grow, The Skin Changes... Old items become super absolute and meaningless... Game actually remains nearly the same... and generally if you do it for long enough it feels very unfulfilling, meaningless waist of time... I won`t name a particular game that uses that style... but I am sure it`s not hard to think of ~one.
    Anyways however in 5 years ever interested in BDO would have by than done more or less they realistically could with their itemization (because, also when new, harder frontier, up to the limit, land... the previous ~stages get slightly easier... not by much... but still they do bring "the end" closer for even if the end itself remains as far as it consistently is) . New people interested in it won`t just come out of nowhere... and if there are people that let`s say "just reached gaming ages" and are ready to mmorpg... will a ~by than... idk 14 ~15 year old game be their choice... I mean if we look at EvE and WoW somehow for those game that is real... but BDO is ~neither of them... EvE truly got to be of it`s type and also ... that`s it`s story. WoW just happened to be giga popular because Blizzard at the time accumulative hype and than it`s perpeto mobiling it`s way ahead... Meaning it`s own fame is generating and propelling it`s own fame, with seemingly 0 loss of "energy" in the system... something dreamt of in the reality as the ^^Infinite Engine^^... why exactly this game... for the reason... Why not. Anyways.

    I think the whole MMORPG genre is in a downward spiral. The pandemic worked in favor of the genre, but now many people leave MMORPGs for games without timesinks and boring grind. I don't think the whole genre will die, but the player base will become significantly smaller. I also think, Aion wont survive another 5 years. It was getting continually worse, since Gameforge took over and it's one of the few games, where more content is removed than added. At least, as far as the European servers go, I don't think this game has much of a future. I played it for 10 years: 1 year was fun, 3 years were duty, 6 years were Stockholm syndrome.

    I think bots will kill MMOs sooner than that. There's already bots that do very well in WoW arenas and it's just a matter of time until everyone has to either use them or quit.

    Hoarcrux must be freed. But I had to agree with you. ESO will die anyways.

    Most games will be dead in 5 years. That's a long life span for a game, nowadays.

    New World bleeding players breaks my heart. It was the chosen one - a pvp focused MMO with nice graphics and great combat. ESO will probably still be kicking in 5 years time. The introduction of TES VI may even bring in more new players seeking additional elder scrolls content. PvP in ESO will probably be dead however. It's just not given enough attention and class balance is a complete joke.
