Thread: 6.2...thats it?

With how much time people want the game to occupy them for. They don't want a patch, they want an expansion.
People clear the expansion in the first week of release pretty often. When you no life a game it takes no time. So why in the world should a patch keep you as busy as an actual expansion that you pay for? People's expectations are the problem here.

This may be a hot take but when did people find daily log in bs acceptable in a MMO where you pay monthly? Was this after corporations found out they can get away with the cash shop?

Wait, what sub games do login rewards? I was just talking about the free ones.
But then I think the only sub-based mmos left are FFXIV and WoW?

I want to know when you're talking about because .x5 patches have almost always been where side content gets added. Every relic except for Zodiac launched on a .x5, every tribal quest was released on a .x5

I mean WoW:The Burning Crusade had daily quests that served as dungeon bonuses to give people incentive to log in every day and that was over a decade ago. Sooooo maybe this is not something new?

SWTOR is freemium, but since endgame pretty much requires a sub, i'm going to count it as a sub game, and it does have a daily login reward program that's pretty much a carbon copy of mobile game ones

Everquest 2 added daily challenges a while back (probably around the same time as WoW). You earn loyalty tokens to trade in for rewards.

Elder Scrolls Online does daily log in rewards and has an optional sub if you dont want to outright buy expacs.

Yeah ok all the mentioned ones have very optonal sub, apart from SWTOR which I admit is more free to try than free to play. Other than that, all f2p have optional sub, but that doesn't make them games wheer you have to pay monthly. Oh yeah XI keeps escaping me cause I keep forgetting it exists, and I had no clue it had login rewards.
EQ2 has been free for a long time last I checked.
