"Sick of ogres, elves and pixies?" Well not really can get sick of that, Other them World of Warcraft and maybe for some Everquest there is no good mmo that use this theme! What I am really sick of is all this games where you shoot things now after the 100s of games that come out where you shoot stuff now we have to deal with some mmos as well that are pretty much Fallout 3 ripoffs?

Really every low IQ person can point a gun and shot stuff there is not really any honor or skill needed for that. Wheel magic or Swords take years of studies and can take a life time to master. And Sword combat is more fair in the end!

I don’t know, as a person who enjoys man different genres of games, I’d have to say that fps’s do take a certain degree of intelligence and at some points even more than that required for an rpg. You need to learn to coordinate and think alongside your team mates in a halo match or cooperative mode as much as you would a raid group. That, coupled with having honed reflexes, and a mind that can think on the fly create a gaming experience that requires thought as well as skill.
Sometimes, mmo’s just feel like I’m typing in continuous patterns over and over again. Use this spell rotation, watch this green or red bar, move two inches to the left every thirty seconds when the boss starts glowing. It all feels very mechanical and hardly as elegant as the thrilling acts of swords and sorcery we all envision in our minds.
