I would have rather them made another single-player RPG.

At least this isn't purple elves fighting internet dragons, but I have a strong feeling that it's going to devolve to the same kind of EverQuest-derived raiding structure, like every other MMORPG released recently.

Some developers have tried different tacks, but nothing ever seems to sell as well as the old "kill the dragon to get loot to kill the stronger dragon to get loot to kill the even stronger dragon" formula that every online RPG since EQ has used.

I'm not sure this mold will ever get broken, because it's the only one that seems to be commercially successful.
