Week long primal

[Subucnimorning]

I think the time people would enjoy this type of thing has long passed. I remember in EQ1 waking the sleeper and people throwing themselves at it for hours trying to keep its HP going down was one of the more cool things to ever experience. Now a days though people don't have the patience to do something like that, it is just boring and a waste of time.

I wouldn't say it's about patience. It's more about different demographic.
Back in the day MMOs were MAINLY (and I mean like 80+%) played by young people with close to no obligations. Older people didn't really understand games much. Nowadays (yes, it's one word) that's quite different, a LOT of MMO players have jobs, families, friends, etc. outside of the game and can't just spend a week doing nothing else than play during their waking hours.
