Matt has given in
I have played my first OFFICIAL MMO. I have always hated the concept of MMO's because it means that I have to rely on people to get things accomplished and I generally can't stand that position.
However, I signed up for the closed beta for the latest Shin Megami Tensai: Imagine MMO. Cool, it was one of the few that I would have actually broken down and played and I got a beta for it.
Downloaded it, went through the whole thing of not knowing what the hell is going on, figured it out later, got through being trained (TWICE) by the game and made it to the open world. And that is where I had to interact with people. And watch as I had to try and harvest a fairy.
Now, you would think that a fairy wouldn't be so tough, it is just a GD fairy. Go out there, talk to them (like in the single player games) and try to get them to join you so you can summon them. No, the camera angles blow, the fairies run off and wait for you to chase them and if you don't get to them in time, they attack.
Sort of like my lovelife.
After I beat ten fairies and couldn't get one of them to join, I just signed off. I might give it a try tomorrow and see what I can do but this was another aspect that I couldn't really digest for MMO's, the grinding.
Love me some MegaTen though... This will be a tough decision!
