Hmmmm... what is this "innovation" in WoW do you speak of?
After a long day, you go home, turn on the TV. To your suprise you can't watch half of the channels because your neighbours are watching those. So no (insert favorite TV show) for you tonight. Next week, if you want to catch the same show, you have to leave work much earlier, you have to make sure to turn your TV on earlier than your neighbour. But, your neighbour has some tricks on his own. He decides to cut your cable, sabotage your dish or simply, just come home earlier than you and turn on his TV earlier. And in some cases, he will only do this to piss you off, not that he wants to watch the same TV show. To grief you. And of course, there is no law to protect you from this.
Sounds ridiculous no? Well that's Everquest for you. You have to mold and organize your life around the game, or you'll never enjoy it. You have to "race" for entertainment content.
