How the State of the MMORPG Genre Has Shifted

If you told me back in January that we'd be getting 6 new MMORPGs AND the Endwalker expansion all in the 2nd half of 2021, I'd look at you funny. Well, funnier than normal.
I'll be the first to admit - I did NOT think 2021 was going to be nearly as packed with MMO releases as it turns out it will be.
I mean, seriously, take a moment right now and think for a second: How many of you genuinely thought that we would get 7 MMORPG releases within a 6-month window of one another?
PSO2 New Genesis launched recently. Swords of Legends Online launches in the next month or two. New World a month after that. Elyon a month or two after that, Lost Ark a month after that. Final Fantasy XIV's Endwalker expansion in November, and finally, Corepunk in December if everything goes over well with their test phases.

We need MMORPGs that are about the journey. We don't need a journey to take a day to complete. That isn't the reason this genre was established, and shouldn't be the direction we move into the future.
We need to stop catering to the casual minority, and reaffirm our priorities: Content that takes time, effort and dedication. As I noted at the very beginning of all of this.
