MMO genre is still in it's baby phase. I don't know why people expect designers to keep coming out with good shit. Look at the music industry, tons of one hit wonders.

I don't think the MMO model really works out too well long term. There's always going to be changes with technology or new acceptable gameplay coming to the scene. Planning for continual development of it for more then 3-4 years seems unnatural these days. Designers should be looking to make a product thats extremely fun with a planned lifespan of 1-2 years.
