Everyone got a problem with MMORPGs The devs are pahetic, retarded, dumb, stupid, its boring, its expensive, its not realistic.
Well i think its all based it all around one thing
ITS NOT YOUR OR ANYONE'S LIFE its not real
you can't out of the blue shoot someone in the middle of a game you can't become a psyhco path and beaten to death you can walk into every building...etc etc

I think you confuse "mmorpg" with the term "Mourning".

Good point, i disagree.
I think that most people are annoyed with MMO's because they are all a endless level grind, and nobody has done community service right. I think UO had a good take on community service by giving the people a chance to sign up to be a councelor, and help everyone with random problems. If you had a serious problem with a huge glitch or someone exploiting one to take something valuable, you actually SAW the GameMaster, and spoke with HIS character. Made it seem better. It also gave you a quee so you know where you stand. None of this sending a message to GM's then getting an automated response in the mail 1week later telling you they cant do anything about it. So until someone breaks the endless grind, and do service better, people will be annoyed, yet the industry is still thriving.
New games like WoW and GW are introducing another group of people to game. Ive had many friends from school coem up to me and say they want to play WoW or GW, when before i tryed to get them to play MMO's they say no.
Most people you meet are annoyed at life in general...it just tends to bleed over, don't you know.

The Psychologist says the cup is your mother. The Punk Kid also says the cup is your mother. The Cricket Player says his cup is definately full. Everyone knows that Pamela Andersons cups are full. The Defendant says it was like that when he found it. Me, I just ask the waitress for a refill.
Way ahead of you there doobster, these games are at the top of my list. But thanks anyway.

The reason is you can't please everyone all of the time so at any given point there is going to someone or a group of peeps that aren't happy with a particular mmorpg. That and people have different tastes, and if a particular mmorpg that they have invested their time and money in does not meet those tastes, then they usually sound off about it.
My theory is, if a mmorpg has a trial check it out and try and find out as much about the game before you sub being possibly disappointed several months down the road that you spent xxx amount hours in said game and spent xxx dollars.
Actually I'm not sure telling him to check out a game will solve anything. Check out the psychiatrist section of his local yellow pages might be good advice though.

If a game try to hook me for 200 hours or less (Baldur, Morrowind & friends), I may praise them a lot(Baldur), say it is a nice game(Morrowind) or just move on(most single RPG titles).
If a game try to hook me more then 200 hours every month (like 300) and add a monthly fee...they open the big yap I have in front of me if they cant deliver what they say they are delivering.
Domination:Massive assult is the last nice game I try, quite enjoy it for like 150 hours. World at War was a deception, quite tedious for no reasons. However, they never pretend they would last quite long before I bored.
WoW was not even able to last a day. DAoC was dead on my interest level after 2 weeks. EQ2 after a week, FF XI Customer service lack beyond comon sense, unable to let new customers to play the game once = trash for the MMORPG standards. EQ was good to hold my interest for years, and CoH must have been half a year...so I praise both of them. Yet, those I praise have interest me at least 1200 hours, we are far from the 200 or less. If a game cant clearly out distance the 200 hours limit, either for motivation, for content or whatever, call itself a MMORPG and publicised features that they dont deliver(SoE lies about solo been a prime exemple of lying publicity), well I am going to flames them a LOT. WoW lack quite much, FFXI is down the pit as a Massively Multiplayers Online Roleplaying Jams(unable to play, scums trash of the lowest level), EQ2 and DAoC were not that bad, but they are in for a few crusty comments despites some nice stuffs they bring for the market.

Please stop comparing single player RPGs to MMOs Ano. It really does seem out of place on an MMO site.
Given your constant railing against MMOs for not being more like RPGs by offering content you can play without needing to interact with anyone, it's too bad you don't like PvP too, so you could play Guild Wars and just be happy and quit criticizing EVERY SINGLE MMO for being an MMO.
And what game anywhere tries to hook you for 200 hours a month? That's ridiculous. Playing 40 hours a week is 160 hours a month. That's normal working hours in this country. No game intends to provide anyone anywhere with 200 hours PER MONTH of play. MAYBE 100 hours a month, but gaming companies aren't going to model content after someone who chews through it at 40 hrs per week because they have no job. If you haven't noticed, their business model sort of depends on players shelling out monthly, which requires a real job.
It seems the more I read your criticism the more it seems you don't care about the MMO part at all. Community is never an issue for you, it's all about offering you something to do when you're NOT interacting with the community. It's not their fault you're incapable of joining a guild, making friends, and contributing to the community. It's certainly not their job to provide you with gems so you can do something while you wait LFG, and it's not their fault that you liked EQ1 because you could exploit the game mechanics by kiting as a druid or wizard, charm-kiting with a chanter, or soloing as a necro. Those techniques were player-made. McQuaid et al that you idolize so much never intended solo play to be that pervasive in EQ1.
I don't get why you want to play MMOs at all. You only ever praise RPGs. I really do think you're on the wrong site.

Its just that the restrictions of MMorpgs are so annoying when i think ia true MMorpg i think of a player run comminty where players can take the jobs of NPCs and get paid and be an avg person in a different world. Not like spend half his life trying to be a Uber god like player.
For example SWG If i chould just be an avg Intergaltic Transport pilot while trying to sell information about the war and liveing off that that'd be awsome and i'm be interested in it.
Maybe the public and average gamer has out grown the MMORPG. Maybe paper and pencil RPGs will make a surging comeback, what once was old is new etc. Maybe we are just older and other concerns are taking over. Maybe years from now we will say " You crazy kids and your new fangled vitual realtor head sets. In my day we had grinding MMORPGs with crappy graphics and no customer service and we liked it."

Well...if it wasn't for the every 1,000 who have a life:there is 1 no life nerd
out of a county of like 296 milion MMorpgs whould be acutally dead
I'm not saying all ppl who play MMorpgs are nerds or have no life i'm say that there are a 1,000:1 ratio of the ppl that will spend day and night(and i don't mean a week or a month i mean like forever) playing a game
yea, darkfall for the win:)
well, hopefully hehe
