Time for another round-up of my latest articles published at MMO Bro.

First, I take a look at the six features no MMO should launch without, then go on to examine the other end of the spectrum: design choices that need to be retired outright.

Finally, I run down the ways MMOs can make leveling more appealing, so it doesn’t end up feeling like a chore before the “real” game.

I’ve had another couple of articles published over on MMO Bro.

First, I look at the MMORPGs that offer the best racial options, as well as those with the best class choices. Despite the fact I’m not a particular fan of the franchise, the EverQuest games do very well for themselves on both.

Also speaking of classes, I do an analysis comparing traditional class systems versus open-ended skill-based progression. No one who knows me should be surprised which system I prefer.
