Im currently playing LOTRO online and boy is it quest intensive.
I like quests, but the majority of the quests in LOTRO, and most MMOs for that matter, are mundane point A-B, Kill X-Y chores rather than an adventure.
Am I the only one who feels this way? And if this is universally true then why do MMO makers still follow this forumla? Especially LOTRO, considering it is a high-budget game touted to be a "WoW killer".
Sigh-- Ive been playing f2p MMOs through out my child/teenage years but as I get older and wealthier I find myself enjoying mainstream console games more than MMOs.
It seems MMOs today are plagued by either quest-fests, grind-fests and accompanied by the ever-popular slow walk-fest. I can't even remember the last MMO I truly enjoyed-- maybe runescape.
And yes, I just recently got back into f2p MMO-ing because PSN is down.
