    It's a pretty vicious cycle..idk about WoW, but Rift you can play all the time..

    The more you play the better soul points you get. The more soul points you get, the better aspects of your character you can unlock. Plus there is always pvping going on and even if you don't win you still get points for the some of the best gear in the game. Which takes a LOT of time. Dungeons get old after a while, but you also get currency to get you the second best gear in the game next to raiding. Raiding is done with your guild and sometimes can take a few hours a piece depending on the skill level of the guild. Then there are events to get more currency which gives you special items..

    There's a lot to it..but the people that spend all day playing definitely have an upper advantage then the casual people.

    That's understandable, and it can get out of hand with certain folks. But don't think of it in the same context as a game like GTA or Zelda or anything else that has a definite conclusion or predefined avenues of play. Gaming and competition is a big part of it but there's also an aspect of the game that's very much like this bulletin board. People hang out here all day, hoping to see something interesting, chatting with other people, etc. MMORPGs in a very real sense behave like bulletin boards with very elaborate interfaces...or bulletin boards like this one can be seen as MMORPGS with really bad lag.

    Think about it. You have an alias. You have an avatar. You have friends, enemies, frenemies. There's a ranking system. Cliques. Competitions. The more involved "players" go to sometimes elaborate lengths to differentiate their presence in the system, which is persistent and always, ideally, giving the impression that something could change at any moment.

    I could really give a crap about dragons and elves and all that. I never read fantasy books as a kid and, as far as I can remember, never played DnD or anything like it. In spite of all that I still get something out of it, reward for effort, etc. MMOs are really more like hobbies than games. Folks easily get obsessed with their hobbies...HAM radio...fishing...hunting...orienteering...online forums...whatever their thing is that they can time sink for some sense of enjoyment or escape or whatever. Judgement on the part of the observer is totally arbitrary.

    I understand Burnet...and of course I don't think any less of one who choose to spend that much time on it...if it makes you happy go for it... UHM fantasy world skins and mods of horror villians and being able to make your own...I wonder if FRIGHT has the time to make this happen

    The one bit that I really did like about the latest WoW expansion was the inclusion of the Worgen and the whole gothic, Victorian werewolf aesthetic. I wish there was a specifically horror-oriented MMO out there that had stuff like that, and the richly designed Undead lore and stuff from WoW, with all kinds of other stuff. I guess folks still play City of Heroes/City of Villains and stuff so smaller niche MMOs catering to horror fans would be cool.

    I imagine the axe-murderer class being very popular and able to hold his own against the vamps and werewolves and witches, lol.

    Ugh! Strongly thinking about reactivating my account. Not sure why! Every time I do, I play for a few days, get bored... and forget about the game for months. Gah dang!! ! This game is the worst kind of addiction. So much wasted time/money! If I do, I'll be doing a Server Transfer. Duskwood can suck on my wang.

    I am pretty sure if done correctly WoH(world of horror, ya but a lot of thought into that) could bring in some serious money...gangs of zombies could raid gangs of seriel killers, clowns, vamps, weres etc.

    i wonder....

    The Rift trolls should start a Rift thread, so they can talk about their generic-but-slightly-more-pleasing-and-less-PD-3D-clipart-looking-than-EQ looking, clumsy-moving game in bliss.

    Just sayin'.
