Tough times for MMO fans

Let’s face it. So far this has been a sucky year for MMOs. You’ve probably burned through most of the Guild Wars 2 content and gotten bored with that game, so you’re likely fishing around for something new. Sadly, what’s been released so far hasn’t exactly set the MMO world on fire:  Defiance was disappointing and Neverwinter… well, it was good for about a month, wasn’t it?

In addition to a couple of meh MMO releases, Elder Scrolls Online was postponed until next year and who the fuck knows what’s happening with Blade and Soul? Yeps, sucky times if you’re an MMO fan. In fact, once you clear away the probable dreck of F2P and just plain crap MMO, you’re left with hoping WildStar comes out this year and that Square Enix has improved Final Fantasy XIV.

You can only hope FFXIV: A Realm Reborn will be decent. You know you’ll play it, too, won’t you? After all, you’re a gamer and you’re always hoping the next game will be the one that fills you with a renewed sense of excited.

And what the hey. If that’s a bust, there’s always WildStar or maybe Blade and Soul.

Keep on hoping, because, right now, things are looking a little bleak.
