The Daily Grind: Which MMO do you think is underappreciated?
Here at Massively, we try to expose you to as many MMOs (and often non-MMOs) as possible, allowing you to get that first glimpse through our eyes yet encouraging you to go out and play more if you like what you see. With so many MMOs on the market today, it's very easy to skip right by one that might have become your holy grail somewhere down the line. Plus, the majority of games launch, lose that initial rush of tourists, and settle into a comfortable niche for as long as they can. But these games often fall by the wayside as the new shinies rise to prominence. These "forgotten" games aren't necessarily bad; they're just old news. For me, it's Free Realms. Every time I jump into that game, I think about how it does so many things right but is quickly written off as a "kids" game. So I want to know what you think! What game would you say is the most underappreciated by other MMO players? 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!
Breakfast Topic: Unpopular classes
Once upon a time, way back in vanilla WoW, it was common knowledge that rogues and hunters were the most common classes. Raids would regularly refuse to take more of them, and it was almost assumed that all hunters were noobs. Well, at least on my realm, half of that is true: hunters are still extremely popular. However, there's hardly a rogue to be found; it seems that druids (of all classes) have taken their place. My guild, for instance, has zero level 80 rogues. Druids were once one of the least played classes, but I see them all over the place now. I also see quite a few death knights, of course, and more shamans than I would expect (given that I play Alliance). I've also never been able to swing a stick on my realm without hitting a paladin. Warlocks are probably the next rarest class I see, after rogues. I'm aware that this varies realm-to-realm, though - what's the least popular class on your realm, according to your experience? %Poll-24837%
