I am mostly posting this article because MMORPGs are one of my favorite genres, despite my lack of time to play them these days. But overall I have been pretty disappointed with the direction the genre has taken. Moving more towards solo-play, story-heavy, and small-scale theme-park style content.
Recently got back into New World since the updates and DLC and I am enjoying it a lot more than when it first came out. They added a lot of content and things to do, made good changes to crafting, qesting is more fluid now and overall its a lot better gameplay wise.
