Domino
MMORPG's that don't suck?

My alter-ego Domino has no place to live. What does this mean? what am I ranting about? I'm not entirely sure, it's 2:05 AM and I'm feeling rant-ish.
Simply put, I don't have a place to "live" ... my favorite character, Domino, has no RPG world to reside in. No digital presence anymore. There has not been one single MMORPG out there that I have truly been able to create Domino in what I want him to be and play him in an environment that I enjoy.
If I had to say what game world Domino was created in... it'd be Bethesda's Elder Scrolls world. He is literally a creation of Daggerfall, so in a sense my home will always be Morrowind and Oblivion, although Oblivion doesn't quite do it for me. Morrowind is really starting to show it's age, and while romping around by yourself running quests and such is fun for about the first 24 hours... it gets really lonely. People say the Elder Scrolls wouldn't translate well as an MMORPG, I say bullshit... I say the Elder Scrolls is the perfect medium with which to make an MMORPG. They've got hundreds of pages of lore and backstory, characters, an entire goddamn WORLD to play in. Races, weapons, etc ... it's all fucking there. Bethesda could make a killing right now and they probably won't because a few fanboys will fuck it up.
You can make whatever argument you want but the truth of the matter is that this is the year 2008 and we are in the internet age. The days of single player games are coming to a close... nobody wants to play by themselves anymore. The computer gaming market has only one chance to save itself and that chance is called the MMORPG. The consoles are moving in on FPS, RPGs, even strategy games (heard the other day that Red Alert 3 will release on the Xbox or some such tomfoolery... who's ever heard of playing a strategy game on a console... it's fucking retarded)
All I want is an MMORPG that doesn't suck. I want a game where I can create my character exactly the way I want, and plop him in the world with my friends and kill stuff together. I'm semi-excited about Diablo 3 but fact that they aren't re-introducing any of the old classes save for the is disturbing and a huge turn-off. I want a Necromancer goddammit not some stupid "Witch Doctor" ... whatever the fuck that is. Seriously what is wrong with game developers these days.
The Elder Scrolls is where it's at. I'm gonna go sleep now.
