Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

You have to be living under a rock to not know that WoW is still an incredibly popular game. It’s easily still the most popular MMORPG

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

It's a failed attempt at minimizing. Lots of people reply like that.

I've been living under quite a rock then, haven't heard WoW even mentioned for years (and years)

If the only pre-live service MMORPG still going strong.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What about FF14 or Guild Wars 2? Don't they count as pre-live service MMORPGs, too?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

checks Seems games as a service model that we know today really picked up steam at around the late 2010s. So, yeah...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was actually surprised to see Ultima Online is still up and active recently. It must have a pretty decent sized population for EA not to shut down and repurpose the servers for Battlefield or something.

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a hot minute.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

what makes wow not a live service game? aren’t all MMOs by definition live service?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I mean, yeah. Just don't tend not to lump the older ones in it because of how awful the practice has become since the phrase was formalized.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I genuinely didn't know it was still big. Everyone I know who played it quit ten years ago and expansion launches no longer hit my feeds.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 months ago

No you don't.
