I've never been all that interested in MMOs. The idea of playing video games with a bunch of strangers just doesn't appeal to me. All too often, the total strangers turn out to be total dicks.
This is actually the main reason I have never been into online games myself.
Hell, all too often my *friends* gleefully turn into raging kill monkeys when playing video games together online.
But...that's just how we show our love!

That reminds me; we need more Halo.
Oh, those aren't *MY* MMO's. Nuh-uh. I have too much homework. Those all belong to Joe.
Oh... um...
...good luck, Joe.
I said nuffin'.
I enjoy MMO's, I typically don't get too sucked into them. I tend to play for a while and then get busy and walk away from them.
Methinks ND has just uttered what are commonly known as "Famous Last Words".
I have to say that despite my fears of being sucked into WoW, I wasn't. I played for 2 hours and was mostly bored because it was the same-old-same-old.
Maybe I didn't get ENOUGH crack, as I didn't join up with a clique, but I didn't see any real point to clicking on kill-fodder and scooping up the random things the fodder sloughs off when killed.
It was real pretty, though.
(This from the girl who easily puts in 11 straight hours on Rock Band, and once played Civ II for 54 straight hours with only limited sleep breaks).
I didn't enjoy WoW all that much, for precisely the reasons Raq stated above.
City of, however...
Stories that involve lost MONTHS to that game.
My sister, the WoW widow. Let me show you her.
I'm interested in being part of a gaming group... but I don't fit the mold (mac-primary, severe lack of experience, [ETA - sprog-based lack of time]). BT, if we could figure out the time difference, that would rock. My sister could come play too (if her DH would back away from the computer for a bit) - NZTelecom just gifted them broadband.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN!!!
