Just recalled something to add to this. My first MMO was City of Heroes. I got into the Beta and my first time seeing the open world left me just standing there staring at how amazing Atlas Park looked. My first thought was, I'm looking through a window into a new world that exist outside my own. I'm guessing maybe its like that for anyone's first MMO experience. I honestly have no idea. And that music that played in the background really set the tone too.
