    Working for Massively is not good if you want to avoid hearing about new and interesting games. During my first year on the job, I would pile MMOs on my plate left and right as I heard something about one title or another. At this point, I've reached an acceptance that I can really play about three games with any consistency, so when another game gets added to the mix, one has to fall off. That means that WildStar is going to be kicking some other game in my rotation to the curb when it finally comes out. Some people would rather be serial monogamists with games, playing only one game for a few months, then another one game for a few more months, and so forth. Others take advantage of the widespread free-to-play model to play all the games in short bursts. Today we want to know where you draw the line. How many MMOs are you willing to play at the same time? Even if you dip into other titles occasionally, how many games do you consider yourself to be actively playing at once? Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!

  • The Daily Grind: How many games can you play at once?

    Most of us here at Massively play multiple MMORPGs, and we're betting a large majority of the readership does as well. Whether it's the standard main game and one or two flings on the side, or the game-hopping manifesto that compels us to try anything and everything that comes down the pipe, everyone has his own method for enjoying his favorite genre. The only problem is that of time. Personally I don't have enough of it, as I could retire tomorrow and still never get to try all the games that interest me. Currently, it's all I can do to manage two "main" games and sample several others on a weekly and sometimes monthly basis. What about you, Massively readers? How many MMOs can you realistically play at once?
