Why is it that every MMO seems to be virtually identical in gameplay? The only thing that seems to change is the skins!
I'm a little sick of it myself. The last awsome game I played for MMO was ww2online. Haven't seen anything more courageously inventive since that game came out some 6-7years ago.
Hopefully I'm wrong, suggest something big and new I can try. My love life sucks, I need something!

I'd say that EVE is pretty different.

The gameplay hasn't changed in any other genre either.

If it's not broken (ie. making money) don't fix it, would be my guess.

Ya, every MMO has a similiar formula.

Just like every shooter has a similiar formula

Just like every RTS has a similiar formula

Just like every driving game has a similiar formula.

Whats my point? Well, they have to have some similiarities, thats why its called a "genre".

However, an MMOFPS is different from an MMORPG, just like a standard RPG is different from an FPS.

I'd say EVE Online, Puzzle Pirates and Sword of the New World are the most different MMOs I have played.

Currently playing EVE Online again and I'm having fun. Not into Pirating just yet, waiting to pilot the good stuff.
