MMOs:Like em' or not?

[Jarulf]

The whole point of a MMO is that you can never really "beat" it. There's always other players to fight, new instances/zones being released, etc.

There are players to fight in most non MMO games as well :) That would be a reason for a game with PvP! That it is more varied than fighting just computer enemies. That has less bearing on MMO versus other games or pay per month versus not pay per month.

As for new instances and zones, sure, you get a few every now and then, but again, is that worth the money compared to a completely new game? I mean is the added content forsay 3 month as much as a completely new game?

Personally, as someone who just got the game (WoW), it is not a a money issue in the sense of is it cheaper per hour than something else. Especially not something not game related. If that was what should guide me, I should be stuck with one activity and it would be the cheapest. Instead I tend to compare similar entertainment options. So I compare different games to each other (and not to movies for example). Usually, I can thus get more games (especially older) if I stick to non subscription based. However, I must admit that lately (the last few years), I find less and less fun games for me, perhaps a sign of turning old, I don't know. Since I enjoyed the game in Beta, and since I like the fact that you have your "friends" to chat and play with in some games (for me WoW), I decided to pick it for a while. It is also a style of game (the game play) that seems to suit me for solo so that is great! I don't see it as a good option from a monthly money point of view, but then, I consider I have the money and will p(l)ay as long as I enjoy it or until I find new, as fun games I can buy instead :)
