Which one do you prefer: MMORPGs or Single Player? For me personally, it depends on the games themselves and sometimes on the mood. If I'm up for a short getaway, I'll be going for Single Player.
Are there modern MMOs? After WoW ascended to being what it was there were a few legacy hangers on and "big insince most modern MMOs don't really sit with me that well (though I suppose that's just nostalgia glasses more than anything, but eh).
It really is an apples to oranges comparison, honestly. One is designed for experiencing a world and story on your own, while the other is designed to be almost endless in its lasting playability, and for you to group up with others to experience. I enjoy both, and wouldn't say one is "better" than the other.
Gun to my head, I suppose I'd say single player just because it's nice to play at my own schedule. But I think the sweet spot, for me, is a game like Halo that has a really solid single player experience, but an equally great multiplayer experience to go through with friends.
Fair enough. Do you know how common it is for people to play MMOs as solo games? I've always seen it as a co-op thing, so I'm very interested in hearing about it as a solo experience!Trouble is I solo, or maybe co-op with a machine I can pull the cable and hear a crash for, MMOs and play them like I would single player games (partially because the mmo set often gets the really good stuff as far as pickups, abilities and whatever else).
Likewise I play plenty of single player stuff to soak in the world -- even if they don't do it by default then refusal of the call is not just a thing I do but the default play experience.
I would usually break it down between straight solo, local co-op or those I would be doing local co-op with (the pull the cable and hear a crash sort of thing, or at least could probably get to their house in a dead sprint to give them a slap before I idle time out) and the guilds, hastily assembled parties and whatnot many think of.Fair enough.

This.I prefer a single player RPG game where i can just roam and do whatever I desire, alone
