So, some of you might remember that my very first video here was actually about NOT being an MMO player. The topic of levelless MMOs was particularly interesting to me as I got to dig into the genre so much more than before and get an idea of how developers approached it.
The devs of EVE Online, The Secret World and Age of Wushu all had such vastly different things to say about what they saw as an exceptional MMO and what modern game devs should be trying to achieve with said MMO. The one common thread though was the importance of community. Whether in the dark universe of TSW or the complicated economy of EVE, it's all about people sharing interests, in-game and out. Forming alliances, guilds and groups. Meeting people and exploring a world together.
I love that about gaming, it's truly fascinating the new ways we're finding to form communities and combine our social world with that in our gaming world.
