I’ve always wondered about this because the last few years, I’ve seemed impervious to the charms of daily login rewards. Even for the MMOs I play a lot, I just cannot be arsed to login just for the daily free stuff, even when the daily free stuff is really nice (sup, laurels).

When I do log in because I actually want to play, I’ll take my freebies, no question. And I’ll log in for specific limited-time freebies too – Trove comes to mind, as it loves to give away some really nice mounts. But I won’t log in just for the daily dose. Which means they’re not working on me to get me in, get me spending, or get me playing.

So whom do they work on? Do you log into MMOs specifically for daily login rewards, and if you do, do you stay to play (or shop) afterward when you weren’t planning on it? Do MMO daily login rewards work on you?
