• Its not impossible, but hard. They need a consistent content cycle. You level very fast in WoW, so once people are maxed, what is there for them to do?

• Same, I replayed them a lot. Even though I know whats coming they still give me goosebumps. They are games I would love to play for the first time again.

• Interesting. As long as that doesnt get out of hand. I cant see them keeping the power creep under control to be honest.

• Sandbox MMOs, designed with horizontal progression in mind. Something you can pick up, do whatever you want in, put down and then pick back up at a point in the future and carry on from exactly where you left off. You cant do this in WoW as a lot of your progress gets deleted or becomes irrelevant when they release a new expansion. WoW Forever is a mode that is trying to mimic that sandbox experience. That is a real challenge though.

  on MMO Quests Rule in c/onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2d ago

• Gonna be interesting to see where WoW Forever (such a shit name) goes. The game really doesnt lend itself to horizontal progression, they are going to have to keep dropping content consistently.

  OSRS still king of "forever" MMOs.

• I think it has to be the parents account and the parent shares videos themselves. Do we really want 9 year olds obsessed with metrics like views and stuff? This is how you get "brain rot" children, why arent they playing outside or with toys? They are 9, not 15. Kids are extremely impressionable at that age.

• It's ultimately a parenting failure. But there should be way more education for young adults about online safety and parental controls.

  If the parent is in full control, then they can upload their content, thats more responsible.
  I dont personally agree with it anyway, I think 9 is far too young to expose to the internet like that.

  I think YouTube should require a password everytime you make a purchase, but still this wouldnt have happened if the parents were better educated. They learnt a hard lesson.

• I'm sorry, why is a 9 year old even allowed to post to YouTube? There's a lot of mistakes the Dad made to lead up to this, hard life lesson for him mainly.

• Yeah so, if someone's Discord account is 5 years old, they must be 18. Therefore they should be automatically verified.

  (Id verification should be abolished though, crazy we are letting this shit happen)

  on Discord Is Bringing Back Age Verification for Millions of Users in c/technology@lemmy.world · 6 Sep 2026

• All the bullshit aside.

  Why does any account that literally cannot be under 18 need to verify their age? On any service.

  If the minimum age to create account + account age is at least 18, they are an adult.

• Dipping your monitor in shit is better than TAA. These upscalers have caused developers to use them as a crutch. Instead of making a performant native game with good MSAA options, they speed run the game and then slap DLSS (or the alternatives) on at the end for 60fps.

  I get it's not usually their fault, with crunch times etc, but it's still a decision someone makes, that the customers could push back on. NVIDIA is spearheading it as a means to sell GPUs, locking newer DLSS versions behind new hardware and paying studios to support and advertise DLSS. I mean, at least until the AI boom, now they couldnt give a fuck about us little guys at all.

• Caught the addiction!

  OSRS is a sandbox MMORPG, so you slowly build your character and do random activities however and whenever you like. You can come back to it years later and pick up where you left off without missing out.

  This is in contrast to something like WOW which is often called a themepark MMO, where you make progress quickly, suffer from FOMO and then that progress is wiped when the next big expansion releases.

• I think you are confused. I am simply saying, the developers, the individuals, who designed and created the reboot series are no longer working at the studio who owns the IP "XCOM". Unless they are all rehired by 2K, them individuals cannot develop another XCOM. Do you understand now?
