There was this really good Star Wars MMO a while back based on The Old Republic games.
It's not that popular though I doubt /v/ has heard of it.
>>
>>338192831
Literally never existed.

>>338192695
I'm with you.

WoW is totally dead, but no one wants to do anything about it. Not even Blizzard is interested in making a new MMO

I would pay 20 bucks a month for a new MMORPG that actually kept me involved outside of Facebook game daily quests, but it's so fucked
>>
Generally you need the power of an IP of note to keep trucking in the MMO world.

>warcraft
Warcraft was already big, and it turned itself into something more.

>SWTOR
Star Wars. Even the world's worst start didn't kill it.

>STO
Star Trek. Even the world's worst expansion didn't kill it. Fuck Delta Rising.

>be NCSoft
>push the devs to release a game that needed at least 1-2 more years to be completed
>game releases with a billion issues
>dies in mere months

Devs need to stop making MMOs, just let the genre rest for a few years. Almost all of them are horrible failures and it's sad to see such potential never being fulfilled.

People screamed they wanted Vanilla WoW, they delivered.

People didn't want Vanilla WoW.

It was in development forever.

FF11/14 as well are very successful.

His after life is most likely a full-dive VR version of what WildStar could have been.

Pretty sweet, honestly.

>>338192328
but you posted wildstar

The Burning Crusade was science fiction and the height of the MMO genre.

Raiding was great on Wildstar.

Leveling was awful..

Sorta sounds familiar huh?

I'm OP, but I still don't like EvE.

Sci-fi is not as exciting as medieval fantasy. I mean, yes lazer guns are cool, but wouldn't it be cooler to shoot lazers from your hands?
that
and no one has made a good sci-fi mmo, wildstar was kinda close but not quite enough.
