MMOG Sites Under IGE Merging?

CTD writes "Grimwell Online notes that IGE has announced a merger of networks involving: Thottbott, Allakhazam, OGaming, and L2Orphus. There is a thread in the Allakhazam forums that brings all the release data together - but still leaves some questions about what is to come. Grimwell raises one in his post about this: 'Even more fun for our friends who work PR for gaming companies. IGE = RMT, which is not the Devil - but is not exactly welcomed at most companies. Will this move help push things past the tipping point and force developers to deal with the new, larger network?'"

    Square ruined FFXI by creating a game where insane farming drives people to buy gil. Its IGE and the like who make the game somewhat playable.

    I disagree. I absolutely hated FFXI. I liked WoW.

    But I hate MMORPG's in general. Hated EQ2, FFXI, DDO,... I tried to like them. But even the one's I kind of liked (WoW, CoH, ...) just got really tedious and boring.

    Maybe you will like any MMORPG with a population. I certainly won't.

    For a casual gamer, FFXI is a nightmare.
