Yeah... if you cut out all the grinding from the raids and just had the bosses, I think I might go back. In addition, I think you could get rid of maybe 2/3 of the quests without losing any good RPG elements. I suppose I might go back for Burning Crusade because I'd be able to do the raids at a higher level, with gear that's much easier to obtain. The fanatics can have their end game, I'd prefer to play the content at a level that doesn't require quite so much time. I'm mostly interested in how the new PvP system is going to work out.

I think I would have been bored with it a long time ago if you couldn't play it in window mode. I'm logged in a lot but somethimes it just run on the background while I'm lurking the forums etc

Only MMO I was really ever able to get into was Earth and Beyond, and that was mostly because I had a lot of friends I saw every day that played it too. Plus the fact that you could gain levels just by fucking around and looking at stuff. Even then, though, I never put in the 12 hours a week this guy mentioned.

But, naturally, it tanked and my Terran Enforcer with his GDI deathship vanished.
