MMO, without the RPG?
Have MMO games lost the 'role play' element, or has the 'role playing' become about playing a mechanical role, not an emotional, story driven role?
Do you role play in MMO's, would you go against the meta to continue your own personal character driven story, or do you see MMO's as a mechanical challenge to be beaten with maths and stats?
As always, thanks to the Patreon supporters and Twitch subs for keeping the channel alive.

Every MMO Youtuber has tried to define MMORPG, but we still dont have an agreed upon definition, and I think its because, honestly...
The acronym MMORPG is really, really bad at telling you anything about what the genre actually is, its not mechanical, or asthetic, it creates a set of games so broad they can look completely different from each other.
So why is the acronym so bad? Lets discuss.

1 hour.
60 minutes.
Not enough time to finisn an MMO, BUT...
More than enough time to decide if an MMO is high quality, low quality, or worth any more of your time.
Here are 10 objective things to look for when playing a new MMO to decide if its a good game.
1: Does it work?
2: Can I change the Resolution?
3: Can I change the Keybinds?
4: Graphical consistency and style
5: Sound and Audio Design
6: Voice Acting
7: The Tutorial
8: Physical objects having Physics
9: U.I. Quality and Scaling
10: Variations within the Game Style
