Why is this fun?
[Re: travel being hard]

It's fun because it's a challenge. EQ was interesting in part because the challenge consisted of many things besides just crawling a dungeon or defeating a raid boss.

For example, finding your way through a new zone, finding your corpse, or being lost in the dark (or all three if you're a Barbarian going down to Blackburrow for the first time).

When Sony lightened the game and made night vision meaningless, they removed a challenge from the game. There's nothing anybody can do to put that challenge back now.

When you remove enough little challenges over time, you wind up with a bland and empty game where you do the same thing time after time to acquire points. Basically, WoW "dailies" (which is when I quit that game again when my friend suggested I should start doing them).
