Yes, exactly. That is what killed them, even though I never played wow, but I'm sure that's why it's now lame too.

UO died the day they made trammel\felucia, which was just opt-in or opt-out pvp. You were already safe in town, the deal you agree to when you start paying 9 bucks a month is that you are not safe *outside* of town. Well, a bunch of bitches cried about having bad experiences sometimes and it became extremely bad and lame instantly.

I'm a staunch capitalist, but capitalism surely ruins one thing without fail and that's mmo's that I used to love.

WoW turned into a run around quest simulator with easy access cash shop/WoW tokens/no community spirit.

I feel like a subscription based mmo would be both profitable and something most of us would be willing to do for a high quality one. Yet for some reason these "free to play" games have been more or less what developers have been moving towards. I wish they'd get on this "live service" game trend they're doing and shift it to a quality mmo instead of another hero shooter.
