Quote:My theory goes like this: the developer of an MMO has to find a way to bind players. The only way to do this is constantly dangling carrots (better items, weapons, clothes) in front of the players' eyes.

There are other ways I think. DAoC came very close with its large scale consensual pvp combat. The end game became loyalty to realm and countrymen. It worked for me. However, they changed their model to an EQ model, and began to dangle better items, weapons, clothes in front of everyone, so we don't know how it would have continued to work out.
