They drive men crazy. They infuriate and infatuate us. They make us feel the heights of pleasure and desire and take us to depths of despair and jealousy. Yes, MMORPGs are a lot like women.
Sexist and chauvinistic, I hope you have as much fun reading this as I had writing it.

I’ve tried most of the mainstream MMORPGs that
come out but there’s a been a few recently
that I just haven’t been able to get into for one reason or other. The ironic thing though is that I really want to like them because their concepts appeal to me greatly in some way but, ...

Why MMORPG's Are Like Dogs
Player Versus Developer —
Via Tipa's daily blogroll post is a post from We Fly Spitfires comparing MMORPG's to dating stereotypes of women. Pete of Dragonchasers fame found an even better response comparing MMORPG's to menfolks. I don't have any new and amusing dating stereotypes to add, but my wife and I are in the process of hunting for a dog. Here are some dog comparisons that are sure to offend fans of the games and the dog breeds in question, as well as anyone who doesn't like the badly mixed metaphors that are about to ensue. World of ...

... Play It settles the old argument about which a game should cater to more, the solo or the group player, by proposing a “soloer flag”. You couldn’t do anything BUT solo, but you’d get special, solo-only versions of the game’s dungeons, so even a soloer would have a chance to see everything. I suspect it would just turn every game into a ghost town…. most people group only because they have to to advance.
And lastly, MMOs may be like women, or they may be like men, but Green Armadillo knows that MMOs are really our furry ...

blog.weflyspitfires.com 6/10/2009 — There’s been a lot of discussion amongst bloggers recently about Dungeons & Dragons: Online becoming free to play (albeit with microtransactions) and generally how the new RMT business models we’re seeing cropping up will effect the future of MMORPGs. It all made me wonder if ...
Making Online Friends Through MMORPGs
blog.weflyspitfires.com 6/26/2009 — Although some disagree, for me one of the strongest sides of a MMORPG is the socialising aspect and the people we meet and friends we make.

Why Do You Play MMORPGs?
