Why would you solo in an MMORPG?
At Vanguard - TenTonHammer, Merriandra asks the question -"When there are so many options for meeting and interacting with others in so many different games, why would anyone choose to solo?".
I sometimes wonder if the type of player who doesnt like to rely on others is really suited for the kinds of online games that are being developed and succeeding in the MMO marketplace. Has the term MMORPG lost its significance for these individuals? Those who craft, or play alternate characters, or run a solo mission ever now and then are still part of a larger culture that depends on teamwork and cooperation. It takes more than one person to make a guild into more than a titular organization, and it takes more than one crafter to establish a successful, player-driven market.
