Some dinosaurs need to stay buried. I realized lots of people enjoyed FFXI and at the time it was a pretty solid game... but we're 10 years in the future and that stuff just doesn't cut it anymore.

If people want slow paced RPGs, they exist in single player form. I just can't really imagine a MMO setting in this day and age that could cater to the slow-paced RPG style without being absolutely boring or wasting a lot of people's time with waiting.
