I don't expect much more from these MMO's. In my experience, they all utilize the same formulaic approach to gameplay and have shallow, boring quests and storylines. The theme may change but when you've played one, you've played them all. They just lack the depth of a well-made single-player game for me.

I also resent paying full price just to get the software then having to pay a monthly subscription fee to actually play the game. I realize that the financial approach of these games has changed somewhat since the advent of microtransactions but then I fall back to my impressions in the first paragraph. Even being free just doesn't make them any more enjoyable for me.

As you can probably tell, it's been a long time since I've even looked at one. MMOs -- and online games in general -- just don't sync with me, what can I say.
