I have to agree with what Tarquinis said in this post.
Although I may have been here for very little time, I have to say that yes, this game is very much unlike others that I have played. Many often have set things that you have to accomplish, that everyone accomplishes, and when new things come around, they're still there for other players to accomplish. I find it fixed, boring, and lacking style and a sense of something to really be surprised with. It gives the players monotony, which becomes a rut. And that rut only becomes deeper and deeper.
MD also has things that everyone follows through with in time, however, the quests, the contests, the ideas, are all created by the players, and once they end, they end. There are many things in this world that go on, that start, that die, and are remembered and are maybe even revived. What I'm trying to say here, is this game -Is- unique. It -Is- something to look forward to every day instead of "the old grind." I look to this game whenever I play with a sense of: What's going on today? And I believe that [i]every[/i] plsyer should house that sense of wonder and be proud of what they have done both in the game, and for the game. Whether it be paying for something in the shop, or helping a beginner Mp3. Everyone has its contribution, despite it breaking or making it for another player [i.e. spoilers.] But that's the risk that everyone takes.
Nothing happens without strife. Nothing happens without resolution. It's a never ending cycle, and therefor, we must accept that. My only qualm about some of the newbies, really, is that they don't understand the wonders of the game, and that all there is to it, is simply fighting. All they care about is fighting, fighting, and more fighting, just so that they can advance to that next Mp level. It frustrates me that they don't take in anything else from the game but that. So far, what I have seen, is that the Mp3s think that they need to advance in order to be worth something in the game. Which, IS NOT TRUE. I am still an mp3, and I am making my two bits in the game. It's saddening, and irksome at the same time. :c
But anywho, this game is something that I love, and will continue to love until the day it dies.
