Comment on Interesting to see how dead the MMO genre has become. Are there still players around?

FF14 has taken over most of the MMO hype, but plenty of others like Runescape and Path of Exile are also doing really well. It’s just that if you don’t have people you know actively playing them, you won’t hear much about it.

A handful if my PoE friends have picked up Last Epoch which I’ve found to be more approachable. Little less MMO but a very similar game.

I’ve been meaning to pick it up but I heard it was buggy last I checked. I might wait more on it (patient gamer and all that).

Touche, forgot this was PatientGamers. Grim Dawn is basically the same sans MMO. It’s the best ARPG I’ve played like, ever, and it’s due for a huge DLC soon. Goes on sale for very cheap often.
Unlike Last Epoch, it’s more item-focused. Unlike PoE, the items aren’t a total nightmare to optimize…

It is fun, but buggy + doesn’t have great performance in some areas. I’ve recently played it for a bit on 1.1 patch drop, and lasted for about 6 hours until I hit a brick wall of a progression blocking bug. There was a decently large thread about it on the forum, no dev response, no fix in the next 3 hotfixes, so I stopped playing. Might come back for 1.3 or something.

Very interesting - I haven’t hit a single bug during my play.
