the reason its taken me so long to complete SoA is because im not some fantasy wierdo locked up in my room detached from reality 24 - 7 ------------ i have a life
Heh, didn't mean to insinuate that you don't have a life [img]smile.gif[/img] I know what you mean. A good, constantly evolving game world would be really cool, and they are trying to make one. Ultima Online gave it a shot, as did Everquest, and Neverwinter Nights will try soon too. All in all I don't think these massively multiplayer RPGs are ever going to be able to live up to everyone's expectations though. They usually end up just being glorified chatrooms with a bit of lagged gameplay thrown in for kicks.
