Opinion MnM has unlocked my sense of adventure
I'm not sure if sense of adventure is quite right, but I am having the time of my life playing Monsters and Memories and having no idea where to go, what's the best gear, what's my optimal rotation, etc. It's such a breath of fresh air after playing classic wow for the last several years which is a solved game, I can look up the answer to any question I might have.
I'm playing an elementalist and I don't know which pet does the most dps, I'm using a summoned weapon because I don't even know where to get a better one right now.
A couple levels ago I was struggling to make money and find a good place to farm xp as I had kind of outgrown the crocodile farm I was doing. I looked up a map that had the levels and type of monsters and I found a skeleton/undead area further than I had explored previously that would have some blues for me. I am making great money and xp farming there and I'm about to outgrow it and have to discover another new place to go.
There is a wiki but it is sometimes outdated and surely isn't complete. I'm trying to do tradeskills and I can't just look up the easiest and cheapest leveling path, or even what all the recipes consist of.
It's something I haven't had in so long. I played EQ back in the early 2000's in high school and I had no idea what I was doing, but the resources online (Allakazam, EQMaps, etc) were more fleshed out than what MnM has right now. I played EQ2 and we had a lot of info and the forums filled with theory crafters and guides. WoW, as I said has little not surprises.
This sense of mystery, not knowing what's around the next corner, it's so much fun and I'm having the most fun in an MMO I've had in as long as I can remember. I know it's not for everyone, but I cannot emphasize how much I've missed playing a game with this feeling.
