The Daily Grind: Is there an MMO that people are sleeping on?

I would like to think that most of our readers are familiar with lots of MMORPGs, seeing as they read about them here. But I know there are MMOs out there that even I slept on. I didn’t try Project Gorgon or Albion Online at launch, for example. I tried them only later and was duly impressed. I was definitely kicking myself about waiting for so long to get into them. I missed out.

And I know a lot of other people are sleeping on them too! I don’t just mean that they are are underrated; I mean that they are often simply forgotten by people who already love MMOs. And I picked those two on purpose to demonstrate it’s not just about population! They’re among the smallest and largest western MMOs, respectively.

Is there an MMO that people are sleeping on? Why do you think it happens?

Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
