One thing that always astounds me in the MMO genre is how you have people pointing at the consistent, almost identical failures of every other MMO and the huge initial fan disappointment... and then saying "lol it's ok guys! Everyone else does it!" Like, can nobody fucking figure out that initial impressions are hugely important and that if you have a smooth launch for your AAA game, you will be far ahead of your competition?
