A number of podcasts in the past, MOP’s Justin mentioned one thing in passing that struck me so arduous I wrote it down to speak about additional. In discussing his current return to RIFT, he mentioned that most individuals consider RIFT as a “generic MMO.”

I don’t even suppose I objected within the recording; I agree that lots of people would in all probability think about RIFT generic. I’m simply undecided it’s truthful. There’s a number of uniqueness to RIFT, notably its character growth system. Is it the shortage of a borrowed IP, perhaps? The well-roundedness of its themepark techniques? What precisely makes it “generic” in comparison with different MMOs of its sort, and the way are we judging it?

You inform me: What’s essentially the most “generic” MMORPG, and why?

Each morning, the Massively Overpowered writers staff up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG gamers pointed questions concerning the massively multiplayer on-line roleplaying style. Seize a mug of your most popular beverage and take a stab at answering the query posed in at the moment’s Day by day Grind!
