This gentleman feels we're all still in the first generation.... and has some good thoughts on EvE and some of the other points raised here.... http://tagn.wordpress.com/2007/01/22/third-generation-was-there-a-second/ But his summary is pretty good.... "I believe that 20 years from now people who track the industry will lump everything so far in the same bucket. Generational references are marketing fluff so far. There can be no third generation MMOs coming soon because the second generation has not yet arrived. Generations are not marked by incremental feature changes, they are marked by paradigm shifts."
Well, he is also correct. I know people think marketing ploys are hard facts, but for people more used to reality, this comment is closer to the truth than any game released this year.
"This is not a game to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force"
