It’s the most famous quote I have ever heard when talking to people playing all these mmorpg’s. I like many have not found a mmorpg which suits me exactly yet and often get bored very quickly killing seven pig or 100 rats.
Don’t get me wrong there’s nothing else which can be done in a mmorpg but when everyone man and his dog is trying to make a mmorpg you’d think that some developer would of gotten the message that a copy cat World Of Warcraft with a graphic update is not a new amazing different game it’s more like Britney Spears shaving her head it gives a wow effect that she’s crazy but the attention soon moves on to something else.
That just shows all these developers they are afraid of trying something new instead we are forced to continue grinding falling asleep as if watching a documentary of how grass grows. It’s time that a business in the gaming world takes more risks its part of developing a product taking risks and doing research and if anything half these developers go play everquest or world of warcraft and based their latest game from that.
Back to the game getting better later on well yes it may be better later on but what makes a developer think that I am going to stay in a game I am not enjoying at the moment a game where it becomes like washing my underwear. Why would I continue if I bored there is no way in hell I am waiting for this special amazing end of game content on the contrary I will spend my time elsewhere at least it will be more fun for the present.
Secondly if I see bots in a game there is no way I am sticking in such a game the developers and their bot driven economy can run and ruin the game, because its no fun seeing an army of demented bots running round like hyperactive children on sugar killing everything in sight. I mean how fun is that going to finish a quest and finding a million bots swamping monsters so much that you can’t even determine what is and what is not a target.
Then you have lag what is the point of buying a nice quad core computer with the latest in everything and finding that the servers are so laggy that a fight entails clicking on something waiting 10 seconds before arriving at a monster and then waiting 10 seconds on the edge of your seat praying that you did not die.
I’ll be playing a closed beta game shortly hopefully I’ll find it fun from the start and won’t find a bot in site. If its fun at the start it will keep me playing and waiting in anticipation for the next time I start but if it’s as terrible as Paris Hilton singing I’ll be leaving it as fast as Lewis Hamilton winning another race.
There are some beautiful mmorpg’s but they are few and far in between instead developers decide to ditch creative writers and hire programmers and graphic designers hell-bent on making some ultra graphic computer game which will cause sheer problems on any decent computer. The end is only as good as its start.
Lol you use a lot of comparisons :D But yeah, you got a point and thats what everyone is discussing actually, the "next-gen" MMO should not be a kill that many stuff and PvP when you reach the highest level possible. Just don't see it happening soon though...

If it ain't fun by level 5, it ain't fun at all. Simple, efficient, direct, lethal. Wait = excuse from a salesperson. EQ and later on CoX where fun on day 1, not after I reach X, Y or Z.
