I think one big question to ask ourselves, are we just "MMO'd" out?
People want different, yet d not know what different they want
People say its too much like other games in certain aspects, yet complain its too different from other MMOs in other aspects.
The MMO Genre exploded into mainstream, we played it hard, lived it out, rode it to the ground, and sometimes we have to look at ourselves and our experiences and ask whether or not we have burnt ourselves out
