MMORPG Time Limits

[Angrist]

What if I want to play a lot when I have the time? I'm a busy student and rarely have time to play games. But when I have a few days off, I like to play my new game all day. That's how I played Metroid Prime 3, 2 weeks of concentrated play (although it wasn't more than 8 hours a day).

So IF they come up with a way to limit unhealthy play, I demand a 'fair use' policy.

Oh, Thatmariolover had already said what I was trying to say? My bad.

I've played WoW for 2 years or so. It was awesome, until it got reaaaaaaaaaally boring. And they released a boring expansion.
I used to raid 3 nights a week and I was logged in as often as I could. If I was at home, I was probably on WoW.

I experienced much of what Angrist mentioned, the boredom and everything. I heard about the expansion with new content, dungeons, lands and races... but all I could think was...

"No new classes?"

New races are great and all, but outside of the first few levels, inherent race traits do next to nothing to change gameplay. I wanted new classes to really enhance the gameplay and create new ways to plunge through the hundreds of hours of playing that could have been had.

In the end, the ability to play a Shaman on the alliance wasn't all that appealing... you're still a shaman.

An upcoming dicumentary about MMORPG gamers. Looks interesting.
