step one: LOWER YOUR STANDARDS!!!!!!. most people screw up big time by getting into the hype and sometimes create their own hype. this is bad in most cases. what you want to do is set the standard really low. lets say (for an example) WoW. really big game , large community and good support. lets now start thinking AoC as a lot like WoW. then when the release happens it either blows your mind or (in most cases) is still better than the example you had. this example could be from any of your experiences and doesn't have to be an MMORPG
step 2: find a game you really hate. play it for a bit. play the new game and find all the good things about that game compared to the other one (this may sound a lot like step 1 but step 1 is really pre-release)
anyway those should bring some comfort to people. i am not saying AoC will be crap (most likely it wont) and this is my opinion. my method may not work for some. if not try and find your own method

This one and "How to hate a game no matter how good it is."
However, the two topics were made by different people, so I'm not sure why he's complaining.
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Step 3. Drink heavily.
I have played few games that were not able to be tolerated when mixed with the proper amount of alcohol.
Critical thinking is a desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to consider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and hatred for every kind of imposture.
