"Wow, this is great! Everything is so fresh and new! This deep, colorful world is just waiting to be explored! I just learned the interface! I just killed my first monster! I'm levelling so fast! I'm having fun killing so many enemies! I'm getting so powerful now I now I'll be able to make it to end game and be the best player in the world with the best equipment and stats!
Hmm... it's taking too long to walk. It's taking me ten times longer to kill the same thing I was killing when I first started, only now it's a different color. Am I really getting stronger? Am I really doing anything different than the hundreds of players I see doing the same thing, killing the same monsters, who don't seem to be enjoying themselves any more than I am? This game is tedious, mindnumbing, slow, unexciting, boring, long, and pointless. I don't care anymore. I've seen enough of this world. Goodbye."
At what point do you realize the game you're playing is complete garbage?

Usually takes about 20 game hours.
I mean, I know it'll suck to begin with, but the actual suckage begins for me around that time.

I'm level 15 in Maple Story and everything is SO COOOOOOL!
Think of Ys III, Zelda II, and other sidescrolling action games with an RPG system. The 2D perspective lends itself to platforming aspects such as floating platforms and climbing ropes, which would be more awkward in 3D. Other than that, it's like every MMORPG system out there, only more simple. It feels like Diablo II in levelling at first, then tapers off.

I played WoW a lot back in 2005-2007, I think I was bored most of the time playing it, the only reason I kept playing was because my friends played it and there was something addicting about grinding 15+ hours for an epic. I don't think I could ever play another MMO like that again.
