Interesting point. I supose that's why Sony made Everquest 2 any why Diablo 2 has lost steam. So how long does it take before the average MMO run's out of steam? Around 4-5 years?
I'm just so sick of all the MMO's that make you immortal (unable to really die). Sure, your character can suffer a temporary death usually resulting in minor attribute penalties, but you're character cannot really die like it does in Diablo Hardcore. That is what I'm waiting for. I can't believe the D&D MMO dosen't have permanent death. I'm a huge fan of pen-and-paper style D&D (although I haven't played in so many years, I think I forgot HOW-TO play) where your actions have real consequences, that anything short of permanent death is child's play for me. I simply cannot take current MMO's serious without a "hardcore" feature. And no, deleting your character when he dies is not the same thing. Why can't online worlds make one seperate server with this ability? Oh well, I guess current MMO's just aren't for me. Good thing too; I have other things to spend my money on.
