I'm talking about the game for about five minutes before I realize how absurd it is to explain an MMO to someone on the outside. I should have just said 'It's like World of Warcraft' and left it at that.
"I don't know," I conclude. "I don't know. It's just been a lot of fun. I can't really understand why I like it so much, but I do. I'm spending far more time playing than I need to for this review."
"Is it because you feel you don't have control over your own life, so it's easier to live in a world where you do have control? A world where things are easier to understand?"
