I'll have to agree with you Kurtt. I think most of my MMOing days are over, tbh.
I have some hopes remaining for SW:TOR and Bliz's next-gen MMO, whatever that may turn into...other than that I can't see myself logging on to the same game very day for months anymore.
Things that make questing feel different for me are larger story-arcs, meaningful choices while playing. I know I haven't played much of CO yet, but at first sight it seems like it had very few of those.
That's why I'm thinking it will likely interest me for a few months at first, but no longer. At the moment 1-2 months of play isn't worth ~50e to me.

While this is slightly off topic, you mentioning Blizzards next MMO got me thinking about the upcoming (as yet unannounced) new expansion, Cataclysm. From what I've heard so far, this may well pull me back into WoW.

Damn you Blizz.

Ive read about that - the so called leaks on SA/FOH/EJ make for good reading. Some of them blizz said theyd never do, others are just plain welp :(

Some stuff sounds cool, but it's basically more of the same with some cool twists (like worgen)
The game will still be the same though, probably as easy as the current expansion (so too easy) as Bz looks content to leave it in its current state.
In it's current form, I don't think I'll be pulled back to it, since it left 5-man dungeoning completely irrelevant, and this was what I always loved best.
Apart from that, most of the Blizzard creatives have already been moved over to their secret next-gen MMO, leaving the lesser minds on WoW to mind the store until the last paying wow-customer has been bled dry.
In wotlk, the levelling experience was great, but they'll shorten that in the next expansion (only 5 levels this time), there's no new classes, they won't add a new continent (except possibly the maelstrom, but I don't expect that to be as huge as Northrend, so basically it'll be a few new contents and more endgame. The wow expansions seem to be more and more low-budget to me, actually. :P

Oh, and then there's the fact they're planning to bring dwarf shaman and mages in. Humbug.

Oh no! The Destroids are attacking Millennium City! Gather as many Champions as you can and join the fight throughout the city. From 10AM – 11:59PM PDT on August 24th, waves of Destroid robots will be attacking heroes throughout Millennium City. Mega-Destroids will also be causing mayhem and destruction throughout the city, so team up with as many other players as possible to try and take down these massive robots. You might even find some Destroyer clones appearing and utterly decimating your puny heroes. Can you survive? All participants who help take down a Mega-Destroid will receive special perks and items which will be available to them at launch, including a “Mini-Destroid” action figure. Good luck!

gotta do it for my mini fig collection lols :)
