Personally I like the asian Mmorpgs where the communitys are smaller and the stat system is more of a grind. I've played old games like this that have 3d rendering for magic and attacks e.t.c but are primarily 2d format i.e your looking down at your toon and that's it. I've also played alot of recent games like WoW, RfOnline, CityofHeroes, they're great for a few months, but something clicks in me, like all of a sudden, a realisation that I'm not actually enjoying this very much at all. Its not a negative thing. I'm not being miserable for the sake of it, but I look around at the people and think, what is it that sets ME apart from THEM? What is it that makes me an individual in this mass of generically coded faces.. and I find no answer and slip away, promising myself I will return when the new patch comes out, or my guild merges with another guild, but it never happens.

I've come to realise one concrete truth about online games, its not the community or content that makes a great game its whether or not I'm convinced I need it in my life,.. and I haven't been convinced for a very long time.
