Or he has a mind of his own and wants a free, open MMORPG where he can decide how he wants to play, not be placed on a rail and told what to think and do.

Every MMO since WoW - Been there, done that...

I'm a ranger! I can use a bow, track players, and set traps!

I'm an armored tank! I can use swords, shields, and taunt enemy players to hold aggro!

I'm a healer! I can wield maces and heal players!

I'm a mage! I can mez m enemies and nuke them!

I'm a pet class! I can use pets and throw dots!

Seriously, every game is the fricken same. It's so funny how new entities think that they are coming out with something original when they simply rename WoW's talent tree to "feat", "spec", or "enhancement". It's all the same garbage.

Is there any game that will let you mix and match professions? Is there a game that doesn't have the same old "epic", "heritage", or "destiny" storyline? Ugh, it's gotten to the point where everyone is just so sick of it all. When will we get something new? I'm yearning for a new game where the devs just throw you into whatever virtual world and say, "Do whatever you want". There are no quests, there are no set armors (clones), and there are no items that have the exact same attributes (I want a Diablo II style looting system where the stats are totally random).

I'll be back once they come out with something new. Until then, they can all just smell my arse, as I'm sick of playing 10 different versions of WoW (Yes, I know WoW wasn't the first, but it has, however, set the first precedent and is dubbed the best).

 

Go outside and play a ultimate MMORPG.  It's called Real Life.

  Real Life MMO sucks,I killed afew lvl 10s and got thrown into jail for no reason,they aggroed me first,honest .. that ball attack does alot of dmg,they almost got me,but my trusty katana made quick work of them!

 Also GMs took all my items away and gave me generic items.. they even took my pimp hat wich I went threw alot of trouble aquiring from the Pimp boss,I had to smack afew of his minions first for him to show!

hahahha funny stuff

God that MMO sucks, too much roleplay, plus the roleplayers even roleplay....eek! The game copies everysingle game out there! That company should be sued!

LOL I hear ya.. I hear ya.

 

fortunately I play to play with my friends, not the game itself.  That being said, WOW has definitely defined the genre to the public (not those of us here) and here's to hoping something new and clever comes out..

 

heck here's to hoping that a game comes out and puts a gui on some of the most advanced muds.

WOW didn't define anything, it copied Everquest.  I wasn't too thrilled about Everquest either.

Because of WoWs massive popularity other game developers think players want simplistic character advancement. IMO instead of evolving the genre, WoW de-evolved it.. 

1. fast leveling

2. games that start at level cap(which is partly because of fast leveling)

3. running around clicking the screen, then pressing a couple of buttons then clicking on screen again.

(ie all you have to do, to complete quests and level)

4. small raids with easy raid content.(its funny what ppl think is raiding now)

5. basic character advancement

 These are just a few things that MMORPGs have de-evolved to.

Someone should remind these companies that the kids don't pay the bills, and the paaaaa-rents control who buys what at Best Buy.

I say it's time for an adult-revolt against the  kids!  And DOWN WITH NICKELODEON!

(my nephew is visiting and he is watching nonstop nickelodeon.  I gave him my Team Fortress 2 account, and watched him, nonstop, mow down people on a cheat server to get his "Accomplishments to unlock weapons.")

Go back just a weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bit further (and I'm not referring to games).  It's funny that people don't seem to have discovered high fantasy until WoW came along.

We are living in the WoW generation...to which they think every game every developed BEFORE and after WoW is just a rip-off.

Perhaps before the OP complains about every game being a WoW rip-off he/she should play some of the earlier games....n see where WoW comes from.
