I've found that no mmorpg holds my interest any more because I rush in and immediately look at the high scores. I mean yeah sure it's alright to be competitive and everything, considering it is a game, and the idea of a game is to achieve goals set by the game designers. I just seem to loose interest extremely rapidly because all I'm thinking about is beating the person whose a few points in experience ahead of me.

I remember when I first played a mmo, back int' day and all that bollocks. My first mmo was tibia, like version 7.4 if memory serves. I was completely oblivious to everything, the competitiveness of the game didn't matter, the origin of players didn't matter, I was genuinely blissful and it was amazingly fun. I'd just be chatting to people instead of leveling or training, and that's what held my interest, just the people I'd meet and shit.

Now I'm all judgemental and rarely talk to any other people in a game, which usually ends up making the game boring. Haha maybe it's just the hostile communities where everyone's has that "I'm superior than you" mentality.

Anyone else become a cynical sort of gamer?
