Jeff Francis of MMO-Play wonders if story matter anymore in MMO games, and posted a new article with his opinion. Now do you all agree with him, or is he wrong?
More information.There are quite a few features of mmorpg games that appeal to me, such as an interesting combat system, how quests are designed, and systems such as companions and player housing. However, there is one aspect of online games that really pulls at my imagination and drags me into the game's world: the story and lore behind the game. Game developers usually go to great lengths to craft a suitable backdrop on which to paint the action and ethos of the game, but the majority of players seem to ignore this facet of the game. Does story matter anymore in mmos?
