I have to say that I am an EverQuest player that has not played since I downloaded SL. It's weird. I was totally hooked on EQ but started getting a bit bored with the limitations of the environment. Basically, it's very rigid compared to SL. Granted, it's a true game with quests and stats, but even that has started getting repetitive...kill the monster, get experience, level up, blah, blah, blah.
SL has tapped my creative side and sparked a different kind of online addiction. The fact that each avatar's look is as unique as you want to make it is amazing enough, but actually affecting the landscape of the world is, pardon the pun, groundbreaking.
Coming from a background in 3D animation, TV production, and graphic design, SL appeals to me greatly. Let's see how things evolve!
Any other MMORPG players out there?
