MMOs and you

[Aetera]

I really like MMOs. World of Warcraft in particular. I've been playing since vanilla. Recently I've been playing every day. I'm on the Kul Tiras server mainly. My blood elf hunter is my main. I'm addicted to collecting mini-pets; I have 440 unique pets. I'm a bit intimidated by the "get 600 unique pets" achievement, but I want that reward pet!

I play WoW, have done on and off for about five years.

I met my boyfriend on WoW and a few other good friends, but I've been feeling a little blah about the community lately.
For example, yesterday I raided Molten Core with a guild I joined last month but haven't really been active in.

Is me talking on TeamSpeak still `a big deal`?

Spoiler: Spoiler alert

Yes. Yes, it apparently is.

I thought we'd moved past the freaking out at voices that make up 50% of the population thing, but apparently we have not. MMO communities are not that different from the rest of gaming in that regard, no matter what people say.

Still, I love playing them. The community is probably the only downside for me.

Can't do the commitment MMOs require. My boredom threshold is low, I don't seem to have the addictive personality of serious MMO players. I played WoW, EQ, Asheron's Call, EVE, and even a text-based MUD I can't remember the name of, mostly because my friends played. Had a good time in each one, but the good time wears off after the millionth time you perform the exact same activity, or when you hit a brick wall and can't progress.

I have a Star Trek Online account (with lifetime subscription. Yeah... lol. Did that at launch when it was still a subcription based game...)

But honestly, in the years I've had the account, I barely play it...

Like, I only have the one character, and it isn't even at level cap yet...

So... I guess that's about where my MMO experience begins and ends...


I like the concept, but the reality seems to end up being kind of dull...

I don't like any that I've played. They all seem to sacrifice gameplay for the sake of being 'massively multiplayer'. As I like good gameplay and dislike other people, this is basically the worst case scenario for a game. I find it incomprehensible how these games have become so popular.
