I found it strange why 3X was never played more. I guess because, like you said, it just doesn't feel right to most people. Even my mate, who likes to come round and lan it up on occasion, never got all that interested in 3X. Weird really, because if he had, it'd certainly have been all I'd have ever played.
Moving on, and I'm sorry to say that WoW has tainted me somewhat. If I ever do another RPG, perhaps using Starcraft 2's editor, it would now be influenced more by WoW than by EQ. Instead of just fighting mobs in 1s or 2s (like VQuest), you'd do them in 4s or 5s, and in dungeons you'd at the least need a tank, a healer, and someone doing dps. There'd be a lot less classes, but a lot more potential customisation for each one, and boss fights would be much more than simple tank and spank affairs. There'd definitely be a lot more loot dropping, too.
Oh well. I've tried the Starcraft 2 editor out, but I haven't spent any substantial time with it. I like some of the changes, and dislike some of the others. You know how it is. There's going to be some great mods released for it though.
