    I think what we need here is a visual aid. The black line is an example of a steep learning curve.

    I sure hope that you will give EvE online a look. And don't let the steep learning curve throw you off: http://www.eve-pirate.com/uploads/LearningCurve.jpg

    World of Warcraft is simply a pretty world where all players are pampered all along the way...

  7. Flawed gameplay by lordsilence · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Price Comparison Shopping in MMORPG

    Sorry but the idea of selling in-game stuff for RL cash is just wrong.
    At least to me. It takes away a part of the game where you just play to have fun.

    Take a look at Everquest. Go with a party and you wont get the people who think "Wow, I'm going out to have fun with my friends bashing a couple of mean nasties". No you'll get the people who think "I wonder how much dollar I can sell this rare item for..."

    It's just taken a turn for greed in games where they encourage or allow people to sell stuff for RL money.

    That's why I love EVE-Online so much, not only do CCP (company who runs the game) prohibit ISK (the ingame currency) selling, but they crack down hard on those who sell. But I can actually be evil in this game and loot pillage and plunder, meaning if I find a macro-player I'll just take him down myself...

    It's an ultra-capitalistic in-game world where there are no entirely safe-zones. Macro isk-farmers live a dangerous life since "pirates" (a class of players who live outside the in-game law to plunder very much like 17th century pirates) love to go after players who arent watching their client just sitting there macroing away.
