Especially from you. Why cant an "MMO" give you 3 months of fun and a complete story, and then develop another chapter to be introduced to bring you back for another 3 months? I think it would be progress, and would eliminate these blockbuster MMO attitudes of needing a budget of 25 million to offer 100,000 Kill 10 x and Fetch me quests to keep the player involved as they need the revenue. Guild Wars had content that could last a player 3-6 months alone...and then there is chapter 2 for purchase, etc... 6 Million copies sold can't be wrong. I think those are called “single player RPGs” :)

I wonder if there is a market niche there to be exploited: "Our new mmo will give you three months of top quality entertainment before you finish the game and can move on to something else".
