I haven't put that many hours into the game (only have a level 38 Summoner), but it's definitely worth checking out for anyone who is curious. It's got a lot of interesting mechanics, Attacks and spells feel really good to pull off (especially on PS3), though if you try macros on a controller it's a bit hard to manage. Also if you do play on PS3 the community that plays on PC might be less than friendly. Ran into some pretty snooty people while playing in dungeons. It's got a great character creator, much much better than some titles that came before it. This review was nice and pretty fair.
I love MMOs. Really it's all about balance. Finding a good length of time to play them, but not being too engrossed where you lose sight of everything else. Personal preference and such is what it comes down to. And how someone chooses to interact with people while playing. Still I find them to be enjoyable and whatnot. Other people may not think so.
MMOs can have that negative draw to them. Where a person can be so hard pressed to get to that max level or get that shiny piece of gear solo or with friends to where it makes them neglect basic hygiene. Again, it's all about self control, playing for a bit, take a break, then get back into it. It's not really the MMO itself that is bad, moreover the habit of staying on. People have the will to get off, they just chose not to because they want to keep playing.
Imagine someone changing the channel during a heated online match. Or a kid changing the t.v. to the xbox while is dad is watching a big football game. Voice commands have endless possibilities!
