WSAD

They are called Massive Multiplayer online role playing games, and for some people its all they play - which is sad - there is somuch more out there to try. They can be allot of fun, and there are huge social aspects to the game, which is both the best and the worst thing about them. Playing with your friends is cool, Playing with some of the others, is not.
Everquest, or Evercrack as some call it because of the addictive nature, was the first mmo I took a look at. I escaped its addictive clutches because imho, it .....sucked. Lets run about killing rats and snakes. The grafix were poor, the peopel were rude, I was on dial up and it just didn't do it for me.
Many people obviously enjoy this game, it was just not my cup of tea.
I didn't try another one for several years and I do like a few of them now. There are may snobbish elitist players in an mmo, they rant and rave on the the never ending struggle of player v/s developer, or the "unseemly" members of the "community" aka PvPers, or wax romantic about that other game, where everyone was happy and the developers loved the players, and it was a perfect world.... If you want to ruin your gaming experience in any mmo just go to the official forums. I learned that long after everquest- I never made it to the forums. On the flip side in an MMO you can have a great time and meet some great people, try to keep the attitude thats it is a game, and not everyone plays in the same style as you do. Try not to place too much stress on others and enjoy yourself. Anyways, this or and MMO was just not the game(s) for me at the time.
