10 Days of yawn

I did the 10 day trial, and it was nothing amazing. I guess I have just played too many of these games and WOW just made me tired. It seemed to be well made, but its not original and brings nothing new to these types of games. Is there an ounce of originality out there?

I am sure it will be around for some time, by name alone. Graphis look good, real good and the game play seems smooth and intuitive. But it was just the same thing again, same classes, with rock, paper, scissors type teamwork. Someone, anyone out there, forget about Ulitma Online and Everquest and come up with a new idea.
