[General Discussion] MMO Design

Personally, I don't need to look for anything in an MMO anymore because City of Heroes has just about everything right that I want. I'm still going to try Star Wars: Old Republic but the reasons I like CoH so much is because...

Customization and it's not attached to gear. You pick what you want to look like and are only limited by the number of choices which is constantly being added to.

They've made the game incredibly solo friendly, but at the same time if you REALLY want a challenge there are a ton of adjustments you can make to mission difficulty. If you really want to now, you can make a mission spawn as many enemies as it would for a full party when you're by yourself.

And now, players are even able to make their own content with the Mission Architect. For me, it'll be hard for any MMO to top those things and the only reason I'm going to try Old Republic is because I want to play a Star Wars MMO that isn't crap.

I do want to say that I do still miss the old days of Everquest but they're gone and it's obvious we're never going to get them back. So we gotta make the best of what we do have available.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
