I think that it would be interesting to see an MMO with no level cap, you could play forever (and ever and ever and……….) it just wouldn’t stop.

I wonder would that be any more fun than actually having a level cap? or would it cause more harm than good? Don’t Know have any answers for me?

It could never hurt to try, but obviously you have your hands tied up in the whole spiral of boredom and confusion that is Wow.

Good Luck trying to climb out

Exactly. I maintain that’s the inevitable effect that subscriptions have on games. The whole point is to bleed people dry by making them play as long as possible.

Or, a corollary: A subscription game will never have an end. That would mean cutting off the money spigot, and that’s just not going to happen.

I’d just like to get a sense of closure at the end. Instead it just seems to be another meta game of progression. It never end

Hmm, you know I think you’re absolutely right. I have really been considering taking up another hobby (such as Warhammer minatures). Perhaps it’s time?

my alt-aholism causes me not to always experience end game content; I love the path you take to get to the end and am usually disappointed that there are significantly less things to do when you hit the cap

For some reason I just hate PvP not only do I suck at it, the victory is a very hollow one for me.

The fulfillment I get from leveling and Dungeon/Raiding is what drives me to do more.

You should find something of equal interest in an MMO in order to play passionately, if it is your true hobby. (eg. Staging Warhammer battles is my hobby)

I don’t necessarily dislike it, I just find it a bit… strange. I mean the game switches from one system to another. It’s like you spend several days of man hours getting to the “final” level only to discover that there’s then a meta game of itemisation awaiting you. Isn’t that a little odd? I would actually like to slow down the rate of progression and take longer getting to the final level and then complete the game when I arrived there.

I take your point that it’s my personal preference and opinion though To each their own!
