What makes MMO’s fun to play?

MMO’s are usually known for their late-game content and the grinding aspect. So why do people enjoy grinding and min-maxing to the late game so they can compete in late-game content?

MMO’s are much more fun when they played with friends so if you have a friend who’s into gaming and unsure of which game to try next why not get into an MMO such as New World. The game is less than a month old so you won’t be starting from far behind. Unlike If you were to jump onto WoW nowadays then you’ll be levelling a new character whilst everyone else is fighting end game content and will unlikely come back down to boost you. The reason MMO’s are more fun with friends is that you can create memories playing with them and MMO’s are such a time sink that you and your friends can be questing for hours and not even release the time that has passed! We have experienced this with the HH gaming team as Saph, unfortunately, started on a different server and felt bored and lonely over there compared with the rest of the team who was completing dungeons together! The reason Saph isn’t having as much fun is that he wants to complete group content but is having to ask strangers to group with him to get it done and this isn’t the experience he wants. He wants to be able to join in on voice comms with us and complete the content with his friends. I’m sure this is the same for most people who aren’t on the same server as their pals! Playing with your friends can turn the grind into endless fun as you’ll have each other’s backs and not want to let the other people down whereas with strangers it doesn’t have that caring feel to it, and you are just playing for yourself.

Now there are plenty of people who want to play solo and find that the best experience but for an MMO that is against the norm. We see on many forums or social media people asking for a company or to be a part of a group because they want the full MMO experience.

Other than the main storyline you can enjoy dungeon content, side missions and the grind with friends! Without them you won’t be able to complete dungeons as they are 3-5 players therefore you’ll get to enjoy the gameplay with them. In New World you can see so many players asking for extra players or asking for a group so why not team up and make friends along the way.

MMO’s are also fun due to the variety of players in the player base as players from all around the world can play and you’ll end up making international friends which can be very exciting!

Having a community runs the game! This means that without the support of a community a game would collapse as the player base would stop playing because they feel like the game is dead. Therefore New World has already had a good start and the community will continue to grow! An example of a good community is Raid: Shadow Legends as they are a tight-knit bunch who always welcome new players! The reason the game excels so much is due to talk within the community which allows newer players to see how great the game is! You can see this from the content creators and how their influence drives the community. But that is just an example League of Legends is another one because people love to talk to people and as it is an online multiplayer game where you need to talk to succeed! Without the community no one would be communicating therefore the game would go downhill so fast! With League of Legends taking /all chat off next patch, we’ll see how the community feel and see how they change!

You should be interested in playing New World because of the limitless possibilities you can do! If you want to level up one craft then decide that it isn’t for you then you can switch automatically and start a new craft. If you are a fan of MMO’s from previous experiences then why not dive into a fresh start with a new game and new things to see and learn! There is so much variety in the game and so many things to see and collect with 180 hours played we are still finding new things and aren’t even close to the end!

To conclude we think MMO’s are worth the time because that’s what makes them fun! Plus playing with friends helps make this game much more enjoyable! Do you agree MMO’s are enjoyable?
