I started out with Ultima Online back in 2001/02, got bored of it only two years later though. I never played any MMO on its official servers since, but I did play some WoW on a free private server (back when Burning Crusade was the most recent expansion, way before <Lv.20 characters became free to play) with increased drop and XP rates. The main reason I stopped playing was getting back into university after two years of NEET status. I have not played any other MMOs before or since that, though I've watched my brother play Everquest 2, Star Wars Galaxies, City of Heroes and a handful of others whose titles I've forgotten. He doesn't seem to stick to one game for very long and prefers to just use up the free trial periods, never to return. His EQ2 and SWG accounts were slightly more long-lived, though.

Since >>293 only answered one of >>292's questions, would you mind picking up the slack? Does or will [the official shiptoasting thread] bring about a noticeable change in quality in other /dqn/ threads, and if so, are these changes positive or negative?
