Wow, the dance MMO experience is really interesting...

LOL.  Heh, I can't stop laughing.  After my really negative thread about dance MMO's, I just had to try it.  And wow, it is a totally different community of people.  Pretty much everyone was really nice, friendly and supportive.  This is in sharp contrast to a typical MMORPG where it's almost normal to be inflammatory.



For example, in this one game, one person kept apologizing and saying she wasn't very good.  Everyone else in the room chimed in and said she was great.  Everyone else.  Considering how many people were online, there is no way that everyone knew each other.  They were supportive of total strangers.  Then some of them started saying good things about the other players as well.  After the game, there was a short discussion about who hacked the game, then it was back to carebear happy happy land again.



Felt almost surreal.  Even girls and children in real life aren't that friendly.  It's almost like there was an unwritten rule to be really nice and supportive...as a result, everyone feels pressure to conform.  But in doing so, it creates this unique environment. 



And LOL at the gameplay and graphics.  I'm not making fun of it.  It's just so silly and funny that I can't help but laugh.  What a strange experience that was. 



I can't say that I'll ever play again, but I seriously think it's worth playing at least once just for the experience.



(BTW, I couldn't find a single graphics setting I could change.  Says something about the priorities of a typical player.)

    I remember playing Dance.  It felt like the resolution was stuck in 640x340 or something close to that.

    Of course everyone is nice, they are all trying to hookup

    Heh, maybe.  But it didn't feel that way.  It felt more like a nursery school or a kid's birthday party.  The vibe was just so carebear and happy that it felt wrong to even think of something like hooking up.

    Oh ya.  Another funny thing.



    The chat system limits how much you can type at one time before hitting enter.  It limits it to rather short sentences.  This sentence that you're reading right now is too long.  End result is that most everyone talks in short sentences, or uses a lot of abbreviations.  I noticed that I was the only person typing out entire grammatically correct sentences.  I was often forced to split my sentences in half.  I admit I'm rather wordy, but still...
