Infact it's a good idea. The idea of mmorpg's are shot anyway.

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR
And everybody else has the right to listen to them, or not.
This is not a problem.
What is a problem is people who feel the need to respond negatively to something that really doesn't matter to them.
(In the case of political stuff, for example, that does matter, so responding is the best option there, barring threat of retaliation, which is something free nations used NOT to have much of until recent times.)
In a case like this, no one knows what the speaker is going through.
Isn't it better to just ignore it and move on?
The alternative is to possibly do some very real harm to someone under heavy stress.
Maybe not, but in the case of uncertainty I think it's best to just let it go.
Once upon a time....
If I get good test results by the end of next week.... I'll try my hardest "before God" to do good things for Real People and not sit in a 12X12 room like others trying to pretend their polite, and telling themselves their humble.
Even when I play REAL mmorpg's, I spend a lot of time helping others with their stuff..... Can't do that anymore with story driven "Fake" games on-line.
My head is held high.... I love people
It comes down to real compassion, the recipient can feel it.
Well, good for you! Other than the dying thing, which we will all inevitably do, but still sucks to have impending regardless.
There isn't anything special about such things in regard to me as everyone here has or will have burdens they must bear in life, and has or will make sacrifices for others before they are done. Such is life, for everybody.
I have no need for your advice, and will speak as it suits me.
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Dylan Thomas

Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
I drew some solace from that poem during my father's impending death, and thereafter. There was little gentle for the majority of his passing.
However I shouldn't have said it. I felt pushed.
I'm done
I just fail to see this epic one person battle to keep alive the dying memory of what a true mmorpg should be...
I love the classics, hope a great new mmorpg comes out someday.... enjoy this site for discussing old and new games... /confused
"What giants?" Asked Sancho Panza.
"The ones you can see over there," answered his master, "with the huge arms, some of which are very nearly two leagues long."
"Now look, your grace," said Sancho, "what you see over there aren't giants, but windmills, and what seems to be arms are just their sails, that go around in the wind and turn the millstone."
"Obviously," replied Don Quixote, "you don't know much about adventures.”
MMORPGs have changed over time. You may not like how they have changed, but that doesn't make them other than what they are.
To contend otherwise is like saying cars with an automatic transmission are not such, because only those with a manual transmission truly are.
