Also even if you can solo (adventure in the game alone), most cool places requires a good group to play. And here&#8217;s the problem: logging in, waiting for people to ask you to group, getting there (some places requires 10-15min to get there) and waiting for all party members to arrive. The result? often you literally waste 1h even before starting to play!<\/p>\n<p>This can work for boys or for people who got time to waste&#8230; but not for me and many other people! This aspect is quite underestimated in MMOG, and I believe is going to cause a decline of this genre over time&#8230; a pity because EQ2 has one of the best RPG system I&#8217;ve ever seen. They should simply allow people to play offline or with CPU controlled players \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes! there are some games, MMORPG or MMOG, that enslaves you!
