[MUD-Dev2] [Media] Informal poll on MMOWatch

[Mike Rozak]

A small (informal) poll on the mmo.rpgwatch.com web-site just caught my eye:


Favourite RPG element?

NPC interaction  (33.77%)
Character development  (29.87%)
Combat  (4.16%)
Exploration  (24.68%)
Puzzles  (1.3%)
Questing  (6.23%)


If these numbers are right, why do MMOs (except perhaps Bioware's secret MMO) spend so LITTLE time on "NPC interaction" and "Exploration", and so MUCH time on "Combat" and "Questing"?
