The problem with new MMOs is that nobody wants to sink time into something that has an 80% chance of being shuttered in a few years

I’d sink the time into an MMO.

The problem for me with the last MMO I tried (Pantheon) is that a bunch of people would rather talk on Discord than type; and that straight up ruins MMOs for me. Discord can fuck off. I do not want to have my arm twisted to join your shitty discord server so that I can join your shitty voice chat, only to be forced into listening to a bunch of goons talking about their love of fascism and Nazi shit while I’m playing a game. MAGA fucks can never keep their shitty opinions to themselves so even in a game where I’m a half naked ogre beating the shit out of a pig, trying to gain some gold.
