Other Games....

We can heal the land, but, no, it doesn't heal itself.

Raph is of a very old-school mentality with MMO style games of any kind. People should work together and need each other to at least some extent. Inherently, this requires people being somewhat competitive. I get that. I'm not overly fond of it, but I get it.

I like the idea of a group claiming an area and making a place for themselves. It was nice when SWG was young. Even in games like Horizons/Istaria in its stunted way it worked. After a few years when people stop playing, though, it's not so good.

The only other game out there that even remotely grabs my attention atm is Pantheon, and that's probably never going to be something I invest time in. I'm willing to give Stars Reach a little time to impress me.

 

Pantheon would be interesting to me if they indeed added housing of some kind. Sounds like the plan to eventually. But it also sounds more geared towards grouping than even Stars Reach. I am not against working with other people, but I don't want a game to require it. I game when I have time on my own schedule, not a groups schedule.

 

I was talked into trying Pantheon, btw. It's so similar to EQ beta/early launch. I like it, and so does the spousal unit, but I can see why a lot of people are put off.
