Comment More MMO than MMOs (Score 1) 135
I don't know that MMO's have ever had a clear direction. Everquest had all the same issues with content and gameplay that the current crop of knockoffs have now. No one is even trying to come up with a better mousetrap, they're just trying to throw shiny rims on that same old copper and wood one we've had for 10 years now.
Hell, Oblivion has better MMO like content a than the current crop of MMOs. That and the gameplay is more fun and challenging, capturing that spirit of exploration that MMOs have completely lacked in recent incarnations.
