The Problem With Modern MMOs
2,703"Nostalgia goggles" is a metaphor often used to describe a person's distorted view of how something in the past was actually much worse than they believe it was. Let's use Dragonball as an example.
Back when the Anime was initially licensed for distribution within North America, the Ocean Group was brought on to dub it into English, with a lot of viewers being introduced to Dragonball via that specific cast of voice actors.
Later, when FUNimation acquired the license to dub it into English, even though the FUNi dub ultimately ended up being exponentially more professional and much closer to the original Japanese translation, people were left of the opinion that the Ocean dub was suprerior.
And as such, many people consider fans of the Ocean dub to be under the effects of "nostalgia goggles."
This also applies to video games - and more specifically - MMOs. You've probably heard people continue to reminisce over how amazing "vanilla WoW" or "Aion 1.0" were. These were games that were released over a decade ago, back when new MMO releases were common and varied quite significantly in terms of quality.
Yet even though there were hundreds of MMOs released between 1995 through 2021, there exist several that truly stood out. That not only captivated the MMO audience, but also went on to stand the test of time.
Games like Meridian 59, Tibia, Ultima Online, EverQuest, Anarchy Online, Dark Age of Camelot, RuneScape, Ragnarok Online, EVE Online, Lineage II, MapleStory, Mabinogi, World of Warcraft and more recently, titles like Guild Wars 2, Final Fantasy XIV and The Elder Scrolls Online.
These are all MMOs that offered experiences of an entirely separate caliber to what was available at the time.
Which leads me to the topic of this video: Older MMOs are better than newer MMOs.
