You know whemyfield? You are so right. Take a look at the XFL, that was supposed to be a \'hardcore\' NFL, but it was hypocritical as the NBA. I love collage football, it is so exciting.

One day, they pulled together a dream for an Rpg that you can play with other people from across the globe. They dreamt of a world where dragons and magic thrived, and the world grew.
They began programming, modeling, drafting....they would give the world another universe in which to live in...they would be gods, the Devs...
Then another day one of them, being exceptionally adept at basic mathematics, computed a few figures and came up with a lot of zeros.
He showed these figures to his buddies, and they agreed to finish the project as fast as possible so they could charge people $10-18 a month for mediocre gameplay, a dull background, repetivive quests, and hardly rewarding graphics and animation...so they could rake in $40,000,000+ a year, depending on their circumstances. And this is the story of the MMORPG....it continues with the CONSOLES, when Final Fantasy 11 makes it\'s debut as the biggest money-hogging scam this side of Role Playing, with an estimated revenue of $88,000,000+ not including mandatory and expensive updates.
Then there was Planeshift....it came out of the shadows, shouting a simple cry....\"free imagination\"...\"open-source\"...
And out of these shadows, rose the future...justice
