    Yeah I also heard about that, with MMOs it always depend what’s company is in charge. A lot of MMOs are made by Tencent or NCSoft, and they are all P2W

      I feel like NCSoft was OK back in the day. My main experience with NCSoft was via Aion. I played when it came out and thought it was a great game at the time. And coulda sworn they had a decent reputation back then.

      Now, like you said, they’re just another terrible MMO P2W company. I have no desire to touch any of their games.

        My main NCSoft experience is with the OG Guild Wars, what an amazing game. They don’t make 'em like they used to… Lol!

          100%!

          I do feel the early/mid 2000s was the like the Golden Era of MMOs. Then things kinda went south as the MMO space got oversaturated with WoW clones and F2Ps with P2W & cash shops proliferated. I played and trialed so many MMOs during that time. Chasing the proverbial dragon, but with MMOs!

          And now we’re sorta going through a renaissance with MMOs, given the recent more high profile titles that have been released or are coming soon: New World, Lost Ark, T&L, Blue Protocol, etc.

          But it remains to be seen if these games measure up. Still an exciting time though.
