I don't disagree with the storybricks assertions, or even their handling of EQN (though I don't think it was a malicious plan at all... I think that's just bitter mudslinging...

I was looking forward to EQN...
Imagine all those unused assets that they have just sitting around gathering dust from the EQN projects...

Yes old school MMOs are dead for good reasons, who want to camp a boss camp for hours, or farm some mob for weeks for just one drop you need, yes it was cool in the old days when MMO was new and you didn't know any better.

Yeah, there has always been room for solo, even in games like EQ, but what you are missing is the keyword 'focus'.

What things are you looking for in an mmo?
