And what would it take to get you !cynical? Being there myself I see my 
continued participation in MMPOG's as residual obsessive compulsive 
behavior rather then something I enjoy. Can't think of the last time I 
was like giddy happy laughing or couldn't wait until the next time I 
logged in.

After reading your comments I started asking myself 'what perk would it 
take to get me to even d/l a free to play game?' and all I could come up 
with was breakfast for two at Denny's. Sheesh! I would try online 
tic-tac-toe for a free Grand Slam right now and feel like I was getting 
a great deal. Oh yeah, that's right, the game is supposed to be the 
attraction on its own.
