I liked the idea of an MMO as providing this massive world that you could explore over the weeks and months that I'd be paying for a subscription. I'd find little things that other folks didn't know about, share it with friends or guildmates. Secret shortcuts to towns, off-the-beaten-path dungeons, cool vistas, and some excellent places to harvest monsters and resources.But apparently the majority want the game to have all the convenience of a Target store, with everything easy laid out and easily accessible. No surprises, no easter eggs, no exploration. This idea of the magic book that Vocenoctum talks about is anathema to me. From what I'm hearing, you just walk into a region and suddenly you're informed of all available quests in the area. You join quests without even having to meet your teammates. It seems so oriented around minimizing non-combat activities that all I'd have left is hack and slash, which is not something that stands the test of time for me.</blockquote>
