I like that I can hop on at any time of day, make some progress, hop off any time. I don't have to wake with an alarm and stay out gold farming for 8 hours with 2 or 3 short breaks. I don't have to leave the house. I don't have to talk to anyone. I grew up with MMOs like Graal Online, RuneScape, MapleStory, etc. I have been extremely disappointed by the real world's version of jobs and money. Gold in a game often feels more useful as well. I have actual needs for it. Real life by contrast is vaguely like "work forever and keep making money because that's just what you're supposed to do".
