yep, I've heard of it, though, I don't play MMORPG's much anymore. Because of the fact that you have to put a lot of time into them to get somewhere, I want to limit myself to how many I play, when I start playing them again.
I played the Lord of the Rings Online a few years ago. I really enjoyed that, the story was awesome, and they are constantly bringing out new expansions.
However, the problem with MMORPG's is that they dont evolve enough. Once a game comes out, it's stuck at the level its at. Sure theres updates, but only to patch bugs and make the game run smoothly, and these games usually last for years. With the recent evolution of video games, I want to get into them more now, but I want a computer that I can really enjoy playing them on.
By the way, if you want to see how not to make an MMORPG, just look at Defiance. Hideous freak of nature
