We all have those MMOs that we’ve quit for various reasons: Lack of depth, that one annoying feature, lag, abundance of bugs. I, to set an example, recently started playing Fallen Earth again, which I had quit shortly before picking up Aion in late October. What I found was a much improved game, not to mention a whole abundance of features that were not in the title when I stopped playing. I’m looking forward to starting the construction skill, but most notably is the lack of lag. I’m actually disappointed that I dropped Fallen Earth so soon, although my reasoning was because of the intense rubber-banding.
On the other hand, I also started playing the Allods Online beta again, and was immediately reminded of why I quit. Allods is a fun game, but some of the quests I had in my journal made me want to set my computer on fire. Not to mention the fact that I quit Allods mainly for the same reason I quit World of Warcraft; because the game just got boring. The cinematic effects die off quickly after the tutorial, and the prospects of systems similar to, if not even more strict, than the Fear of Death mechanic or armor cursing make me hesitant to put any investment into the title.
So have you given your old MMO a chance? And what was the result?
