The Daily Grind: When do MMOs get too silly for your comfort?

[AL:TERA]Let us talk about TERA today. I have never been able to wrap my head around the tone of this game. While it appears to be high fantasy in that gorgeous Korean art style, there are bizarre additions to the game that appear to emerge out of a fever dream by a demented developer. It gets silly, very silly, at times.

Silly is not always a negative, at least not to me, although it has to fit the game in question. I appreciate a whimsical and even childish quest, character, or object here or there, especially if it can make me laugh without having to retcon the entire lore of the game to make it fit.

I think that many of us have a line that can be crossed when a game tries to be too silly for its own good. Has this happened in your MMORPGs or online games? Have you found yourself rolling your eyes over the inanity rather than giggling in delight?
