Welcome to Polished MMO


Polished MMO is a blog dedicated to pointing out the flaws in today's MMO games. MMO stands for Massively Multiplayer Online, this refers to a game where thousands or more players are playing on one server in a single game world. The most well known MMO is World of Warcraft but that is only one kind of MMO.

MMOs can be like World of Warcraft and follow a fantasy RPG system or they can be as different as EVE online where there are virtually no rules, every player has a space ship and can go anywhere and do anything in a huge galaxy colonizing planets , forming businesses, or waging war. EVE online is an example of a "Sandbox" MMO where World of Warcraft is a fantasy MMORPG, the later currently dominates the market. There are a few other types of MMOS as well ranging from MMOFPS games to MMORTS games.

The Focus of this site is to figure out why the MMO genre as a whole is slowly dying. Hopefully by pointing out flaws on a game by game basis we can figure out whats wrong and fix it for future MMOS.

Potential threat to MMO’s detected!


The Government may soon control the internet completely.

There has been some talk recently over the “Internet Kill Switch” proposal. The bill would give the government the ability to shut down the internet in a state of emergency caused by some kind of attack on our nation’s network. The bill would also give the government the ability to shut off and censor certain parts of the internet.

On one hand it would really suck if another country or terrorist group developed some sort of sophisticated network attack and we had no kind of failsafe in place to respond. On the other hand we would be handing a lot more power and the ability to censor the internet to our government bringing us a step closer to living like China.

What do you think of the “Internet Kill Switch?”
