Really?...... cuz when I see a MMORPG that is 1-2 years old and only has 50k subscribers, I think that the game probably is going to be canceled before I even get to make any significant progress in it. When I see one that is 10 years old and has several hundred thousand players I expect that game to have a lot to offer.
When you're looking at 8 years of content that you'd be catching up to compared to 1-2 years the 8 years is very daunting and discouraging. If you don't see it that way, that's cool but you're in the minority.
