This explains a lot... specifically, why I stopped playing a week after buying the game back in 2004 when it just came out... and why after doing a trial for COV a few days ago (to test physX effect, i didn't expect much from an "MMO") I enjoyed myself so much that I reactivated the account and played it since. I am actually feeling like I am playing a GAME instead of having a competitive job as you. I am reading the texts and enjoying the great stories and missions that are just fun to play, rather then a PL tool to get to the meat of the game (in a few months, if I am diligent). Frankly, it is nice to finally have an MMO for an adult with a job and a social life, rather then a highschool with no friends or social life who spends 99% of his free time on the MMO grinding.
