Yeah don't worry about it Wilbur, as is apparent I clearly have the unpopular opinion here so I'm dropping it for now esp since I said my points anyway, and either I'm not saying it right or it's not being understood but whatever x.x
Latching onto what Bear said, a large part of what will get you into an MMO is your experiences while playing. If you get in with a group of friends, or meet some cool people while playing, you can overlook some of the game's shortcomings and that's why sometimes the fans can be especially rabid and you just don't see why. I've played problably 20-30 different MMOs by now some for a short while some for a few years or so and I got tons of good and bad stories from all of them.
Ragnarok Online for example...well we could fill a whole thread full of stories from that. I played in the alpha, beta (Korean and English) beta 2 and release (Japanese and English) and met tons of cool people including Pie and my last roommate to name a few, and lots of fun and interesting stories. The game itself though? Super simple, grindy, punishing at times...let's just say the game has problems...yet I loved that game to death lol.
So yeah, I guess that's why I keep playing them. You never know what might turn out to be really fun and awesome.
