Since 2004 I have played a variety of different MMORPGs, from some of the biggest games on the market, to some of the smallest titles. And ever since early 2005, when I stopped playing my first MMO (Anarchy Online) exclusively, and started playing "City of Heroes" as well, I can't think of a time I have had less than two or more MMO accounts active.
Unfortunately, my choices have by and large been considered poor, by the general MMORPG playerbase. I must be brain-damaged.

Let me start by stating the obvious: Player-vs-Player content in "Rift" is dead. The entire PvP community in that game abandoned it long ago, and rightly so. "Rift" simply isn't a good MMORPG for PvPers. The same system that allows for so many different hybrid class builds also makes class balance virtually impossible. Couple in that there is no such thing as faction balance (killing open-world PvP), and you can see how badly Trion has managed PvP in their game.
So sad.

So as you know by now, I got into the first open beta weekend for Funcom's new horror/adventure MMORPG "The Secret World". As I said in my latest video podcast, it's a fun game, but I have reservations about it, mostly because Funcom can't launch an MMO without having something go wrong to save their lives! Anyone who has followed this site for a while knows I have been looking for a real Horror MMORPG for years. Not some browser-based game, not some fantasy game that splashes some blood around and calls itself horror, I mean a real, honest-to-God HORROR MMORPG. And it looks like we finally have this game with "The Secret World"... if only it were not made by Funcom (not to mention backed by Electronic Arts)!
