Why Console MMORPGs Are Hard to Put Down

MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role-playing games) on consoles let you play with thousands of other players, but what is it about them that makes them so hard to put down? Is it the sense of community (like joining guilds, helping other players, or competing in group events), the long-term progression (like leveling up, getting better gear, or unlocking new abilities), the vast worlds to explore together, or the ongoing story updates that keep the game fresh, and have you ever spent hours playing a console MMORPG without realizing how much time had passed?
