Yea it would take a lot of money and experience to break into the space, mostly cause you would need to take players from existing games. People who like mmorpgs already play them.
That’s probably why riot put their mmo on ice for a while until they figure it out. But if anyone I’m putting my money on them to nail it.
There are even huge fractures inside that community. You have the intense raiders who want an extremely refined and tuned endgame, the pvp people who just want this refined competitive experience and finely balanced classes, and then you have the more casual story and exploration players like me. Striking a balance between these three is nigh impossible and has killed otherwise fun MMOs with cool new ideas. RIP Wildstar, we hardly knew ye.
I enjoyed wilstar as well. Haven’t thought about it in years.
Yea those points are sorta why I have some hopes for the riot mmo if it ever comes out. They already have teams for pvp and story and they’re working on pve games. Like em or not their pvp games have a huge player base so they must be doing something right and they have decent world building and stories to pull from already. Legends of runeterra added A LOT of really cool concepts to the universe that can be used for anything. Pve is where I suspect they need to improve but who knows.
