Serious Implications for the Future of MMO's

[dreama1]

It sounds good in theory, but I'm skeptical that it will work out as planned.

I don't have any experience with EVE, but i'm going off several other MMORPGs, and what i've found is that we are creatures of habit; we like having / doing the same thing over and over again, tweaked here and there, but so far, it's hard to imagine a game, similar but totally different. As much as people say everquest is difficult, how often do these same people go google what to do for quests, google the maps etc etc, of course, if you do it over and over again, that knowledge gets incorporated but I think the vast majority of players are actually very impatient - myself included. I think EQnext may be interesting in that vein, but let's see if it won't completely frustrate people after having years and years of something completely different.

Oh and i'm sick of people saying WoW is easy. High ranking pvp has to be one of most laborious and skillful game play I have ever come across in a MMORPG.
