I was a long time Wow player as well. I started playing FFXI and have not looked back sense. You are right, WOW lacks alot. SOrry the WOW only fan boys don’t see it and are blinded. THE FFXI CS add to the story, and a story is what WOW has and will always lack. Quests with no plot, that is wow.

I am a hardcore RPG fan, WOW IS NOT a hardcore MMORPG, FFXI is, and sorry FFXIF takes alot more brains and skill. Thank god there are free WOW servers, becuase it is not worth the monthly fee.

WoW built an MMO out of an RTS without learning from the failures and successes of MMORPGS before it.

Blizzard really failed to produce the product that WoW could have been.

It has too many fans though, majority of whom have never played any other MMORPG, and thus have no pre-existing knowledge of the genre. WoW really is a poor excuse of a game on blizzards part.

Yes, FFXI’s cutscenes were always amazing. The newer ones are supposed to be even better.

Ideally, cutscenes would be just that, optional.

Think of the extra download time for the cutscenes, there patches are already about 40Mbytes.
I don’t like cutscenes they just waste what (seems like) little playing time I have. As long as I didn’t have to downoad them and cut skip them then fine. Or maybe you could just have them on the RP servers?

EVE can easily be the most boring MMO of them all, if you chose to let it be so. When you put some kids in a big giant room filled with toys and they sit down on the floor waiting for something to happen, they would be bored too. But if they went and grabbed some toys and invited some other kids to play a game they would have a good time.

EVE is more of a virtual world than a game to play. I quit playing EVE because I got bored, but I only blame myself for not using my creativity. I left it to the game itself to entertain me and it didn’t last long. Meanwhile, other people are coordinating efforts to make a lot of money, take over an area of space, invade another Corp, build a station, explore space, engage in large battles, etc.

WoW cutscenes:

Getting on a flightpath that takes about 15 minutes, turning around and watching TV for those 15 minutes.

I think they should add the ability to drop water baloons from flyers (Gryphs/bats/etc.), and the flyers actually try to fly over the heads of other players. That would be good immersion.

[don't ask me if I'm serious, because I just don't know]

Yep, I do, cos EVE is all about what you want to do. You make the choice and you do it. You go where you want to go and be done with it. In WoW and FF XI you go where your level dictates, thats your only choice. You have no choices, and in the end, what makes something boring? Having no choices.
