Based knowing a number of people who went from
MUD->EQ->AC1->DAOC->AO->AC2->Neocron->?, I'm beginning to think that
"bolting to the next alternative" has become a game in and of
itself.  If you do well enough in game N, you get invited to the
beta for game N+1 ("the next level"), where you can be first to do
any number of things and race to the "end" before the taxi meter
starts...

In short, they are playing a growing MM LARP called "gank gaming
companies for free play" :-).
