MMORPGs getting.... old?

[Magoo!]

MMO's do make me sad these days.

The single greatest one I've ever played was Dransik. That was before they got bought out by Iron Fist or whatever and named it Ashen Empires. *sigh* They butchered that game.

Anyways, the biggest problem is that they're all the same. Every single one.

"A war has corrupted the lands between a blatantly drawn line of good and evil, but for the sake of this introductory cinema, we'll make it appear more obscure. The two sides fought for centuries, staining the once beautiful rolling hills of -Insert name for the land that starts with A here- with an irreversible decay the likes of which we saw coming fifty years into the war. You are the next great hero! You will grow up and join the war and turn the tides. But whose side will you choose? Ah, excellent! Now, to the front! But, for the first <strike>300 hours of wasted life</strike> leg of your epic journey, you shall fight rats and goblins and make your home city a cozier place by sweeping chimneys and cutting logs! Tally ho! The world... Awaits!"

Above all else, EVE brings tears to my eyes. Between LOLWUTs and click. Click. Click click. Double click. Right click engage. Right click set distance of <strike>epic</strike> ratational battle. Right click select which weapon to use. Right click set speed of rotation. Watch for 30 seconds.
