I like MMOs, I really do, but I refuse to pay an extra $15 a month on top of the game's cost to play the damn thing. I kinda like the idea of lifetime subscriptions, but I'm not paying $300 for a game, ever. Thus I do not play MMOs.
Oh, and don't give me that "it pays for the servers and added content" shit. I get it, they have an excuse to charge for it, that doesn't make it worth the money.

Not trying to seem like someone who stereotypes people, but when i played WoW it seemed to me like every female priest was always some stupid whore that bitched about everything
well i hate to quote yatzhee here, caus I REALLY REALLY DISLIKE WUOTING FAMOUS PEOPLE! but is the whole "game feels like work" thing, I mean lets look at it straight most MMOs have you raise pets, keep youre equipment, earn steady income of golds, fight monsters, drink, meet people, maintain a house EVEN. I mean besides of being a dark elf paladin thingy (not much XP into MMOs) and seeing the great views MMOs can have those are all things you could do in real life (except maybe the fighting monsters...unless youre out of your meds)
the constant menial quest in wow the game is supposed to start at 80 according to the fans so why do I have to go through 79 levels of grinding and doing quests that make me feel nothing about anyone to get there? i say f it and go play a fps were the only level up system is my kill-death ratio
I don't want to run around in a world with a bunch of people I don't know. That aspect of it never appealed to me.
Monthly fees. If I had a more steady income than student loans, then I might be more inclined. Until then, I'll stick with Guild Wars.
Ok i have played over 100 mmo's, free and p2p and private and very small ones alike, and i still do (currently im in 2moons) So far all mmorpgs have problems... atm 2moons is that too many hackers and no control over them (so far) I just got out of Battle of the Immortals which looked promising, a diablo clone of a mmo... but oh my god.. the quests, every level the quests, the npc's and the zones.. i dont like teleporting zones. Went from a desert hunting scorpions to underwater fighting crabs? and PETS! i hate pets. games always endorse having pets now.. and hundreds of mounts, so everyone is glowy and has a pet and a mount and it looks like crap. Each town had hundreds of npc's, each npc had a list of options, for every mini quest and event and item type, the game probably had 4 types of currencies and 6 quest/event currencies to complete for tokens to turn in for items or points to get other items and pets.. they just didnt know when to stop stuffing it with content, i remember when a town had 10 NPC's max, a couple shops, couple skill trainers, couple usual quest guys, done. BoI lined the streets with NPC's like a private WoW server would.
If anyone is looking for a mmo to try just pm me, i've been all over the internet trying them, little and big ones new and old, i might know something somewhere to suit you.

Any option for all of them? I just dont like the fact how you have to pay for such a game with hardly any plot at all. Then again I do like the fact you can play with friends.
After about a week, I run out of quests my character can hadle soloing, leveling gets slow, & I have to repeat all of the quests I already did once or thrice to get to a managable level.
I also hate that the stuff you buy has an experation date. It's not goddamn food. Your pet, mount, armor, & housing space should be permanent.

Grinding, the people who play them, the subscription fees, the way it turns people who play them into complete social rejects who can't hold a conversation about anything other than the game, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.
ToR is only $10 a month!? I thought it would be $15! WOO!
Anyway, $10 a month is very reasonable if you like the game, I mean can you honestly say you get an average of 6 months of play out of all the new release console games you buy?
