Why do you assume that one wants or is expected to finish a game in 7 - 10 days? No one expects to "finish" a MMORPG, there is no finishing it,.. the world doesnt revolve around YOU like in Zelda.
Ive had multiple Ultima Online accounts for over 4 years now, and you think WOW is like the most addicting cult-like game on the planet? geraldo mustve done a special on it or something...
MMORPGs SHOULD take YEARS to "beat" considering there is NO BEATING an MMORPG - you are paying for entertainment through content, the content being the game content. Expansions new dungeons etc, are all no different than porn site subscriptions. If you want access to the content, then you keep your subscription open. Wow, what a concept HUH?? ...
some guys have porn site memberships for YEARS to the SAME SITE. Personally i think those guys have problems... ;)
you must not understand what a MMORPG is, and the philosophy behind it?
People like me cant stand console games because I want to fight other players, NOT crappy Artificial Intelligence mobs that take no skill to kill... playing OTHER players takes skill. Killing Koompas dont...
Are you new to MMORPGS? You act like MMORPGs are new or something... Dungeons and Dragons was more addictive than any of this crap.

And the core player is not a 13 year old like you suspect.

You assume too much, considering I am 31 - and I dont play with kids - you are incorrect to assume that I think the core player is 13 years old. I play with real life family members too... again this makes me think you assume the core member is 13. I, know too well the money gaming industry spends trying to change the "gamer" image from a fat nerdy kid, to a college guy-dad type. That image is dead, gaming is a billion-dollar industry. Fat kids dont make that wheel turn... adults do.
Fact is, the end-game content is probably too difficult to do with 13 year olds because it takes too much communication between players. 13 year olds only know how to "OMGrs HAZZorz" speak and there are millions of adults who play WOW, just as we played Starcraft and Diablo. Geez, Diablo was more addictive than WOW lol

This is absolutely nothing like Mario for NES.

No, it is JUST A GAME - and because you feel it is some cult you want others to believe it is. It is JUST A GAME, no more no less.

Anyone who actually thinks its "just another game" has no idea what Blizzard has built here. This is an enormous virtual world, with 8 million real people playing with you online. And their retention on rebills is fucking ridiculous.

OMG a successful video game - its a cult! Lets burn the witch!!!!
you guys make me laugh. who remembers pausing super mario and waking up and starting right where you left off? Talk about addicted!!! I never did that with wow or any other MMORPG LOL
These are the same guys who cant stop drinking coffee, smoking cigs, and playing halo 3.
big L oh l
you want to play, pay. Your subscriptions keeps the servers up - keeps the hard-working dev team at work on new content and it works smooth when you log on. THAT is what you are paying for. CONTENT, ENTERTAINMENT.
Either log off or seek help.
