Free MMORPG Forums

I'm kind of new around here on the forum, but I've been coming to OnRPG for years to stay on the up and up with online games and so on. Over the years, some friends and I have been developing an independent MMO. I figured that because OnRPG had been so supportive of indie games in the past, when we were approaching our first alpha test, I would turn to them to raise awareness.

But it seems like things have sorta changed around here. Out of the last ten games that I've seen posted under the 'Add Game' sections (Free MMORPG's, specifically), the only one I've seen actually get posted is "zOMG!", which is a big company game that already has a couple million players anyway. Scores of games have been waiting longer.

The game lists are now full of big company games, with indie games seemingly segregated into the Player Worlds section. I know it wasn't like that before.

Normally, I wouldn't care. I'd just find somewhere else to plug our game. It's just that you used to be able count on this place to give everyone a chance; no matter how dingy or inexperienced their project was. I'm wondering if there's anyone else out there who's noticed this change.

Well it really appears that OnRPG caters more to a younger crowd and normally a younger crowd doesn't actually know how to program.
However are you talking about the OnRPG game database part of the forum? If that is what you are talking about then I can see who we currently have set to actually categorize it.

Yeah, Games Database > Free MMORPGs. I appreciate it.

I'm glad you added that, "normally" before "younger crowd doesn't actually know how to program". Because I happen to be part of a relatively, younger crowd...

Yes, I have noticed this change, and have moved on from thinking about it. I had an account on here a couple years ago. Things HAVE changed.
