In fact, the most damning criticism, that of the game not being fun, was arrived at after weeks of desperately wanting it to be fun. That's a reasonable desire for a MMO.
I couldn't have said it better myself. After finally giving up my second job (EQ1), I decided to try a new game. My wife went to WoW, and I went to EQ2. Well, the most fun I had in EQ2 was the newbie zone. It was all downhill after that. Dull environments, mobs with no character and boring quests were there to fill the gaps in between the old familiar XP grind.
I decided to try WoW and I have never looked back. I remember now what a game is supposed to be... FUN. I have fun from the time I log on till the time I log off. The world is spectacular, the creatures are fantastic, and the game is so well thought out it is scary.
