Remember - you cannot review an MMO until 6 months after it's launch - which is today

This just makes me think of revising my 1 year estimate to something slightly different. 6 months after you start paying for the game is probably a better point at which to review it.

I say an MMO should be reviewable on launch day. It's fine to change things and add new content and systems over time, but the game's underlying mechanics should be complete right from the start.

The fact that FFXI had a rough start does not mean having a rough start is permissible for other MMOs. The start should be smooth.
