Each game has some minor claim to fame in my mind, has come up occasionally, and is more than ten years old. So here is the list I am mulling over with some pros and cons as I see them from the outside. I will spend at least a month playing one of these titles seriously and blogging about it, because that it the point of the exercise to a certain extent, so that old timers can come by and mock my ignorance and tell me how things were back in the good old days and all of that. There are plenty of old MMORPGs still knocking around, classics of the genre, storied in their time, that I have never touched. I am going to, here at the start of the new year, buckle down and commit to playing a new MMO in 2018, but only one that is new to me. Let’s face it, there isn’t that much coming that both interests me AND is likely to ship in 2018. So this year I am going to eschew the looking forward aspect of my annual post. That was in part because most of the list didn’t ship, but also because I just reverted to the mean and played what I always play, which is WoW, EQII, and EVE. Last month I posted my review of my annual MMO outlook and found that I had played nothing on the list. Here we are again, a common refrain at the top of these annual posts, but what else have I got going for me? This will at least be the last of the annual posts for quite a while.
