The Day-to-day Grind: Does your MMO need a reboot?


MMO reboots, revamps, & pseudo-sequels appear all the rage these days, from Global Agenda 2 to Darkfall: Unholy Wars to Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. At times it makes sense to start over and take developed assets & lessons forward to an infinitely improved version. Once in a while, the 1st launch of an MMO is so disastrous that only by hitting the reset button does the DFUW gold game have a chance for the future.

But what about your preferred MMO? Is it in sore need for a immense overhaul or a big reboot? Did it fail to gain a substantial audience the first time around? Does it need the push of further development and media coverage to prosper in its 2nd chance?

If so, let us know what you'd recommend developers do if they rebooted your game. How could they feasibly make it much better & perhaps take a slightly distinctive course than what exists today?
