    Default What are your three favorite features for a MMO?

    What are your three favorite features for a MMO?

    1. I really like skill based MMOs, like Asheron's Call or Ultima Online. Levels are good too, though

    2. Open world, I don't like instances everywhere except for dungeons or raids

    3. Crafting, I really like a good crafting system...especially one like Lord of the Rings Online where I can craft the best item instead of having to raid for it.

    And what are your three least favorite features in a MMO?

    1. Mindless killing, with no explanation of why I'm killing a bunch of wolves. I like games with quests (or sometimes called tasks as well by some people) where the guy gives me the story of why I'm killing those wolves and then I get a reward at the end for it.

    2. Too many paid for expansions, which is why I never got into Everquest (I did play this for a few months) or Everquest 2...just way too many expansions. I like Eve Online's expansions, not too many and when there is an expansion it adds A LOT to the game and its for free to download and use.

    3. And my least favorite feature of MMOs (some may like it, I don't)...is PvE raiding, I really hate having to do raids to get the best equipment. I've tried raiding in EQ for a short time and WoW raiding for a short time...and I just don't like it at all. I would rather do crafting, exploring or PvPing.

    So, what are your favorite and least favorite features?

    Best.

    1. Amazing graphics.
    2. Party-based combat.
    3. Steep learning curves.

    Worst.

    1. Generic grindfests.
    2. Generic quests.
    3. Cartoony graphics.
    And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear.

    You shout and no one seems to hear.

    Ohmalawd, you just described Flyff. O.K. well I don't have favorite features per say but I have favorable aspects of one. Really it's just a matter of "Does this game have the x-factor?" Will it keep me playing for a really long time? If it is then it's fun & worth my time.

    1.Maplestory
    2.Latale
    3.Cabal

    EDIT
    sorry read it wrong.
    1.Mostly Keyboard based like maplestory
    2.anime-ish? but basically not kiddy looking but not like majorly realistic looking
    3. Partying is a useful way of leveling

    least:
    1. all moust based except for shotcuts.
    2. if community is bad
    3. if the graphics are like your face is your foot.
