Hey that's not quite fair,
My PSone is the reason I decided to go into CS. I've become disengaged with the complexities of character leveling and find CS much more interesting.
Though I would blame the lack of interest in science and innovation the reason for our declination. I don't have to look farther than my own classes, which are filled with non-American students.
I'm not sure if this has been said already or not...but when the guy made the comment on how the guy had no idea what he was talking about. He makes a good point. I've personally played (in order from most to least) Ultima Online, World of Warcraft, Runescape, and FFXI. My favorite MMO was hands down UO. It offered all the things that this guy mentions. The ability to become good or evil, factions that could be taken over, towns that rise and fall because of it, and all sorts of community story events. It was so engaging. The skill system was so customizable. It wasn't just about what weapons/armor you could or couldnt wield. In UO different combinations of equipment could be tailored for different characters. I loved WoW for the 6 months I played it, but it did just get to become a boring grindfest, repetitive instance-ing, and just the same, never-changing world.
