    If you haven't checked out Tobold's MMORPG Blog, you probably should. He isn't exactly hardcore, but he surely isn't casual either, making him an awful lot like the average player . His latest entry deals with whether WoW needs a game over screen. Yes, it is a MMORPG, which in theory should be an endless experience, but Tobold argues that even a game like WoW does come to an end. I tend to agree with this. It might take thousands of hours, but at some point, pre-raid, you will have done every single quest, leveled every single class and seen everything there is to see. This, in my mind, is Game Over. We aren't forced to spend $15 a month , and if we don't like the raiding endgame, we should probably just stop playing, wait for the expansion and find something else to do. Or, we could go to the message boards and start endless threads about the bad endgame content for casuals! Either way really. If I ever reach my personal Game Over screen, I will be investigating this wild rumor going around that I have a wife and a dog living somewhere in this house with me. Yes sir. That's my plan.
