No!

God bless the internet.

No, i have life. when i was 13-15 i liked it, but it takes your social life easily and there's no point in playing those kind of games.

You can say that about most any game...

How about Wii Sports?

i mean that there's no plot or anything just level grinding. while i like online games like Halo 3 or Battlefield 1943 cause they are sheer fun i don't see anything fun in games like WoW or Tibia where you have to spend hundreds of your life for nothing and if you stop playing this game you practically threw money you spend on fees, microtransactions into the trash cause you can't play this game if you won't pay monthly fee and if you go back to the game after several months of absence you're lagging behind so you have to play constantly. i liked games like Gunz or Rakion which is basically action game with small rpg elements were you could play once a week for a few minutes and it was still fun, but Wow, Everquest? never again.

1. You should probably try a few MMO's before you talk about them.  I can't talk about WoW much because I didn't get much into it, but FFXI actually has a pretty engaging story.  Even WoW though, the little I have played of it has story and background, it's just up to you, the player, to get into that story.  You can say those stories are crap, but they aren't any worse than Halo or Battlefield.
2. It's funny you talk about plot and then you list Battlefield 1943
3. It's even funnier that you then talk about playing them online
4. Every game has repition, it's mainly just a matter of the type of game you like.  I play something like Halo online and it's the same thing over and over and over again to me.
5. I've just returned to FFXI after a two year break and I'm not lagging behind except for just being rusty and that would come with most any game after a two year break.  They added new things but they aren't that hard to grasp.
6. You can actually make the argument that MMO's are cheaper because rather than buying a new game every month at $60 you're paying ~$15 (price changes depending on the game) a month for the same game but a game that continues to be interesting for hundreds of hours.

Zelda and metroid make you think to solve puzzles(some of them are hard too!) :P There for make you smarter( a little bit perhaps)

I'm not trying to convince anyone that MMOs are good or fun, but some of the things said in this thread are just patently false. For instance, in WOW, high end raiding doesn't involve any sort of massive time sink. 4 hours a night two times a week is not more time than an average video game player spends playing "normal" games, and is quite sufficient for a skilled group of players to progress rapidly through the 10 man raid content.

As for the idea that it takes "months" to get competitive gear on WOW, the only explanation for that is lack of player skill. It takes at most 2-3 weeks of solo PVP at a reasonable pace to put together a blue-quality PVP set which is more than serviceable. From that point on you can steadily improve your gear with as little as one hour of playtime PER WEEK, at least your PVP gear that is. WOW is not the most gear-dependent game anyway, player skill is far more important.

Like I said, I understand that MMOs aren't for everyone, and I see why. But on a day-to-day basis WOW does not require a huge amount of playtime, nor do many other MMOs.
