Multiplayer Games

When someone says "What is your favorite MMORPG?" it's not easy to answer because there are so many to choose. Not surprisingly, I can't answer the question "my top five MMOs" the same way I answer it in the video game and music worlds. This question has always been much more emotionally difficult to explain than the others. There are a combination of reasons for this. I love a lot of different genres when it comes to video games and I love my own MMORPG that I created. There's a good level of personal bias that comes into the mix. There are also just so many games out there that I can't put any of them on any sort of order and leave any of them out.

The top five MMORPG I enjoy playing today are

Final Fantasy XIV

Star Ocean: The Lost Chronicles

Final Fantasy XI

World of WarCraft III

Ultima Online

There are many reasons for the order here. I believe many of you who follow me on Twitter & Facebook will already have an opinion on the top five but if not, then I'm happy to explain it out.

Note: If you're on Facebook and you want to friend me, you need to go to my web page, click on me in the right column and follow me. If you want to follow me on Twitter, just do that.

I do get angry during MMOs. Even when I like them, it's still an emotionally charged time period. I think that is a big reason why some people enjoy playing RPGs and not others.

Final Fantasy XI came out when I was in middle school. The first time I logged on I was in awe of the world. While I never played the same game twice and while I often had a really hard time connecting and leveling, I had a really great time and a very long lasting enjoyment.

When Final Fantasy XIV came out back in 2011, I was really excited about it and I was immediately drawn into it but it wasn't long before I was annoyed at how long it took to level. My first time playing was hard. I had a whole party full of party members but we started dying too often. With the help of my friends we overcame that hurdle and from there I enjoyed playing much more and felt great when I was the one holding the group together. Unfortunately, it did take a while to get good at it.
