Does anyone else cringe at the mention of the words "Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game"?

Speed tree + MMORPG = either bad graphics or a disaster. MMOs are pretty demanding by themselves, adding even more detailled worlds will absolutely kill them.

NO reason. Just asking
MMORPGS seem like one long anal-retentive high.
The first (*) MMORPG--UO- kicked ass till the developers turned it into a cross between 'The Sims' and Diablo. God I hate EA!
(*) Actually UO was the second MMORPG, the first was Meridian 59.

Actually, the history goes way back to text based games.
Muds, mushes, muses, mucks, etc... have been around, and, at the complex end ARE massive, multiplayer role playing experiences. The fact that text based muds are STILL popular despite using technology 'several generations old', is a testament to the good game play found within the genre.
Sure, the number of people mudding has dropped significantly. But there are still games out there with 30 people on, pretty constantly (*point Dune* - telnet to dune.servint.com 6789...)
As an old time LPMudder (I'm aka Bubbs), it amazes me that code I wrote over 10 years ago is still in active use. But it's also great that people are still playing this often overlooked niche in internet gaming.
