The Daily Grind: Do you have fantasy burnout?

Okay, a lot of us rolled our eyes after a while at Global Agenda's ongoing No Elves campaign, but there was a ring of truth in it. Other genres are definitely out there -- post-apocalyptic, sci-fi, and so on -- but the fantasy genre is still the king of MMO Land. If you look strictly at overall numbers, particularly in the free-to-play category, fantasy is easily the most dominant category.

So does it get to be too much after a while? Do you need a break from wings, mages, and mythical creatures?

So what about you? Hit that handy little button there and let us know: are you more than ready for a change?
