mmos are all kinds of fun and awesomeness, but once you play them and do very well or get to the endgame it destroys your will to play any single-player games besides maybe TF2 or counter-strike sort of deals.

why play a single player rpg for 60 hours when you can put 60 hours into WoW and do the same sort of thing with tons of other people and 'show off' all your phats?

ive worked in the MMO biz for a number of years and im the first to admit that the games are made to sucker in people who have very little going for them. theyre designed at their core as a replacement for real life. i have a wild love-hate relationship with them. if you are the type of guy who can't stop after two lines of coke (and thats almost everyone who likes drugs), you are the type of guy who should stay from mmorpgs. they are a solid parallel to gambling for a lot of people...

they will do you in quick.

my brother was on a 'paid to game' arena team with a very high pvp rating that actually got sponsored by nvidia and other companies to compete professionally. he was amazing but its literally all he did all summer. he never left his room. kid doesn't even drive.

not worth it, trust me... unless you're going to make it a job like he did and even then - not really worth it.
