It was fun leveling to max level, but after that it was boring. Guess I will level my 4th toon to max level again, it will give me something to do since I am bored with games I have. Might be time to do another Everquest run.


This will be true for any game that isn't sandbox. Developers just can't make enough content to keep pace, and therefore, players consume it until there is no more and nothing left to do because the structure of the game only allows you to consume whats fed to you.

The key is having players create their own content within the basic framework, that way, there is always new things being done by players on the fly which should extend the game by a long time.

After playing FFXIV ARR for over a month now, both of these statements hold true. I know some of the FF crowd won't like this, but it is my opinion even GW2 had more things to do after leveling then FF.... I find myself at 50 now running the same content(skipping most of the dungeon to be as efficient as possible) over and over again with a slight chance of grabbing an upgrade and no chance of making $$$. Neverwinter was the same but even it had more to do it max level then FF.....

The genre itself has ran it's course. Until someone redefines it completely or replaces it with something that attracts the same crowd and plays completely different, these games will keep getting pumped out and only hold the majority of the fan-base for only a few months.

ETA: I never uninstalled GW2 and may join you for old time sake if i ever get the time.
