I foresee funny stuff with RealID used in conjunction with Wow Armory "recent activity" feature. Just imagine the potential with simple Google searches.

Examples:

1) Girlfriend: "you told me you had to do home work, and then you kept playing all night long!"

2) Or your boss: "you are not supposed to play games during worktime, you're fired!".

Hope that real names in conjunction with character names (this will be optional, as previous comments say) will be turned of by default, otherwise... funny stuff! :)

100% agree with you Dana.

Another example of low requirement and high enjoyment game is classic Ultima Online. It doesn't matter how incredibily old for a game UO is, I still see hundreds of players logging in amateurial servers. It is all about that: good gameplay, immediate action, simple graphics, great fun!

Reading threads like this, I really feel at home

Recently, after AoC, another attempt at WoW with the release of WotlK (lasted one month before overwhelming boredom), I chose to try Warhammer Online, and it's nearly the very same do-and-repeat unimmaginative stuff.

I am waiting (and hoping...) for Darkfall, too, and meanwhile I play simple flash games and old single-player VGs (because yes, they are more entertaining than the average MMO out there!). It's incredible how all the economic potential of MMOs market is wasted: today's MMOs are mature products, and need some sort of innovation to retain consumers' interest. But no software house invests in creativity, all the money goes to SW development and marketing. The proof of this is how we lack big minds like Garriott (I cannot blame him for the outcome of Tabula Rasa, NCSoft was not the place to go really...) or Sid Meyer, people who invented brand new videogame genres of planetary success thanks to great ideas and smart gaming mechanics.

And if nothing new comes, there's always pen-and-paper RPGs (but who has the time to arrange a group of players this days? Ah, the joyful times of youth! ).

Well, after 1.5 years, some 60s and alot of fun, I am done with WoW. It was fun, but I grew bored, so with that said, Can anyone suggest some good games?

I miss my Ultima, but I am looking for a game with:

- Great PvP, not WoW battlegrounds but like the Old DoAC where you actually "hunted" the enemy. 

-Great Solo Play

-Crafting

Any thoughts?
