Community Attitudes
I talked MMOs today with a friend. The subject that kept coming back was community bitching about the game. He plays everything under the sun, recently redubbed to WoW after a few years. I only played mxo. Everything he mentioned changes he had noticed in wow, I thought how the Mxo community would shout recycled content or bitch til someone got temp banned.
Why is this an mmo thing? Was mxo different from other gaming communities?

While this doesn't apply to everyone, I do think that many of today's generation of gamers has been brought up with their parents telling them how SPECIAL they are, like rare snowflakes. This has evolved into a generation of entitled smarmy jerks that believe their first car should be a BMW, and they are entitled to everything they want.
Do not try and play The Matrix Online as you used to. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth. There is no Matrix Online. Then you'll see, that it is not the The Matrix Online that is getting played, it is only yourself.

EXCUSE ME, BUT I PERSONALLY SAVED CHRISTMAS IN MXO EVERY YEAR I PLAYED.

Was that the "Holiday Cheer" mission? Because a lot of us did that.
