Network optimization and other technical aspects ARE important. Playstation 2 proves that. However, think back, have the games gotten any better? Are they much more exciting then the nintendo days or bards tale? Truely I say to you that the techinical aspects are somewhat important, however these days I see the tech of a game outweighting the playablility as well as the enjoyment of the players. if you play an adventure/RPG style game. Your playing for the adventure, not the eye candy. Muds where tremendously popular (and to a degree all things considered still are) because they had a depth of play and a depth of exploration. both the world and the workings of the game itself. a game is primarily for the enjoyment of the players, who may or may not appriciate your suave use of 1's and 0's. something to consider.
