It's literally an 8 year social experiment in understanding why all mmorpgs to follow went directly to instancing and avoiding any form of the scarcity model.
Even so, newer MMOs are equally addictive.

Just because the games are running instances, or have other systems of loot doesn't diminish the fact your dopamine receptors get flushed by pixel rewards.

Every MMO after EQ1 I played has had addictive qualities to them. If they didn't, they would not be as successful as they are.

Anyone that logs into SWTOR, EQ2, EQ1 Live, or any other active MMO who says they are not addicted are in denial.

I aint judging people who play these types of games, as I play them myself.

I am just saying no MMO gamer should feel self-righteous because they no longer play p99, or EQ1, or any other MMO because in all honesty they are no better (or worse.)

We just people doing what people do.
