MMO players have many games to choose from in 2022. Old classics like Final Fantasy XIV, Old Runescape, and World of Warcraft are still going strong. Lost Ark has also stolen the spotlight so far in 2022. However, no matter their choice, there\u2019s often a portion of players left feeling disappointed and dissatisfied. Sometimes it\u2019s because of pay-to-win features, while other times it\u2019s a lack of interesting content. Asmon believes another factor plays a part, too. He claims MMO players want to relive the experiences they had on old games in new ones, which he said is like chasing a mirage because it simply cannot be done. \u201cThere are a lot of MMO players that are chasing something,\u201d said Asmon. \u201cThey\u2019re chasing this experience they had with gaming in the 2000s or the early 2010s. Maybe for some older guys, it\u2019s the 90s.\u201d \u201cPeople are constantly looking for the game that will make them feel the same way that they felt whenever they played World of Warcraft for the first time, or ArcheAge, Lineage, Ultima Online, Runescape, or whatever. \u201cThat\u2019s why everybody gets so hyped up about every single MMO that\u2019s about to come out. They hear about it, they get excited about it, and they\u2019re expecting this game to be the next game they can really invest themselves in.\u201d However, he believes no game is capable of doing that. \u201cAs they get closer to it, just like a mirage, the beautiful oasis turns into sand. The fact is that a lot of players are not looking for a game. They\u2019re looking for an experience. \u201cAnd that experience, you cannot step in the same river twice. It\u2019s not the same river, and you\u2019re not the same person. And with all these new MMOs coming out, people keep chasing this dragon, and they never seem to catch it. \u201cThe whole world has changed. The way people approach video games has changed. You\u2019ve changed. Gaming has changed. But you\u2019re looking for something that\u2019s the same. How could you ever possibly find that?\u201d The solution, in Asmon\u2019s view, is to keep expectations in check and even consider playing multiple games. For example, World of Warcraft is historically his \u2018main game,\u2019 but he\u2019s playing Lost Ark right now. He\u2019s also had stints on Final Fantasy XIV, New World, and more. He\u2019s been critical of them all in different ways but judges them for what they are, rather than compare them to World of Warcraft in its prime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asmongold explains why MMO players will never be satisfied with new games YouTube: AsmongoldAsmongold believes MMO players will never be satisfied with new games because they\u2019re looking to relive past experiences from old games in a time when the gaming landscape has changed.
