Ugh. OK, I'm gonna stop with this. 79 hours and my character is at level 53 out of 60. Seems like I'm hitting a wall with some boss and I'd have to do a bunch more grinding and I just don't care any more.

Maybe I should learn a lesson here, that I always burn out of MMOs at some point and realize I'm not enjoying it. I don't have experience with modern CRPGs yet to know if they're less gimmicky and more inherently fun. This one is a treadmill of fetch quests with nice graphics.

The game itself seems very promising but for some reason it runs really badly for me, even though my PC should easily handle it.

Got this on sale a week ago for 20 bucks. I like it so far! I don't do subscription MMOs, or play "endgame" stuff, but this is fun for numbers-going-up. I'll probably take a character to level cap and then stop. This works well streamed via Nvidia's GeForce Now and the graphics are great.

I have played new world since the first beta and have invested over 1299 hours into it plus another 241 hours on the test server. I have enjoyed the hell out of it and its really a good game it just needs more content. I have no intention of quitting it anytime soon.

I got to play until level 40 but I don't see a future playing this game with so little PVE content on for end-game.

Started playing this one, have to say, not bad at all. Let's see how long it lasts.

The excitement of a new MMO nuzzles up to me like a tiger in the bush. I know its there, just waiting for the perfect moment.

To have a brand New World to explore is tantalizing but after spending egregious time in the MMO genre, I know an unfulfilling core is hidden inside the ultimate progression loop that gaming has to offer.

It took a long time to learn that MMOs have been a practice of isolation, in two worlds at once. Both worlds demand time from the other at a moments notice. Failing to find a place to belong in one pushes me to escape to the other.

A huge part of me wants to jump back into another fray of discovery, loot and the incalculable human element. If I was able to give all my time, to see every class, skill tree, expansion and experience, I still feel like I would come up empty in the end. Its odd then, how a new MMO whispers that maybe this time it wont.
