How many of those fond memories have you being mentored, or a group of you and your friends being escorted on a trek. As I pointed out in another thread (...), a lot of us know a lot of stuff in our flesh and blood brains. The thrill of discovery will not be there.
And your point is...? To each its own, I'm an achiever not an explorer. I thrieve in the challenge, not in gaining knowledge - most of whatever there is to know is in my brain. Okay, I don't remember anymore how many fireflies are flying around streetlamps but I can certainly trek myself to anywhere at lvl 10.
For the record, 80% of what I know about Ryzom I discovered by myself and I enjoyed every second of it.
