The MMO Question (RPG version)

  So, I posted a similar question on a Facebook group I am a part of. I am curious as to what everyone who reads my blog, thinks of the state of the MMO RPG.  With all the different MMO's on the market. Along with the fall of the mighty WoW. Are MMO RPG's still a valid gameplay choice.

 With the influx of so many MMO's on the market, and more coming out everyday. I understand that there is a market for these games. Yet the question is, are there enough people playing them to validate every game being made or being released

 As a gamer who primarily plays MMO's and free to play MMO's at that. I have played a wide variety of MMO's from the classics like WoW, to the more recent Skyforge. I have also beta and alpha tested many of these MMO's to come out in the last 5 years. I know that I enjoy playing many different types of MMO's from RPG's to Shooters.  I know that there are a few games coming out within the month that are MMO RPG's ( Blade & Soul, Otherland, and WildStar which is supposed to be going free to play soon.)

 I also wanted to ask you as my readers, as to if all the free to play MMO's are worth playing. I know that games that are buy to play. Like Guild Wars 2, are doing well. Yet with the free to play model of some games.... Cough (Star Wars The Old Republic) Make it almost impossible to even like playing the game. Some of these games seem to make us as, gamers have to pay to even get what we want out of a game. 

 So this is your chance to have your voices be heard. Share this everywhere and comment. I want to hear what you all have to say.  This is your duty as members of  the Empyre.
