Games like DAoC/OG EQ were made with passion, and the developers were true RPG nerds. OG DAOC was made with a budget of like 1.2million.
Now MMOS are made with budgets of 100-200-300 million and tank within 6 months because the formula is all wrong.

Yeah, went from creating games with passion to "anything that will keep players hooked, besides being a great game, for the
sole purpose of profit."
And maybe some illuminati brainwashing with symbolism and foreshadowing of opening a real demonic portal if they havn't already.
Pantheon looks hopeful, but they're showing some of the same nonsense with the long list of "trinkets" for pre-alpha buyers. "Pay $100 and get a cool in game pet!!!!". That stuff makes me cringe, even the actual gear, because it feels foreign to the world.
