What would get me 'cynical'? Mmos like Aion obviously. Or did you mean _not_
cynical? LOTRO for one - still playing it with much enthusiasm, CoX will
pull me back in again no doubt.

You would think so. Not sure what your point is, other than you're even more
cynical & jaded than me perhaps...? I never suggested I wanted some sort of
reward or pot of gold outside the games themselves, other than some quality
time wasted. A mmo that made me *think*, rather than just Google
walkthroughs & wiki guides would make a nice change, which LOTRO did/does a
bit of with some quests. The only thing I'm even mildly excited about on the
horizon are GW2, STO & maybe SW:TOR (but the last has to get past the
Bioware 'consolitis' factor which I doubt it will).  I just signed up for
the APB closed beta, but don't ask me why, heh (my mate did it, so call me a
silly sheep I guess :).
