Threshold will become famous soon enough
Re: Cataclysm Burnout: Gotta love it! :)

That is a really great point.

For most modern MMOs or online games, once you quit, you're done.

But old school muds that built a strong community experience frequent returns of people that had been gone for years.

I bet we could postulate all sorts of reasons why, but it definitely seems like new games are not generating anywhere near the social bonds or community that MUDs have in their history.
