Any MMOs worth playing? I've never been into MMOs in a big way. I used to play a zelda ripoff called "Graal" (originally it was called Zelda online) but they went payware and all shitty. There's all this buzz around mmos and to be honest, most of the ones i've played are absolute shite. Things like Second Life are such poorly made pieces of junk, they are practically unplayable and yet they are infested with people. Some of my friends play Eve: Online, which is cited as the best MMO out there. The problem is it looks way too engrossing and over the top. Its a space strategy but its not really something i'd want to play. Are any of you playing MMOs, and if so which ones and why? |

It doesn't look my cup of tea to be honest, is there a free trial? I registered for the Lord of the Rings online beta but haven't heard back yet. |

you got a review or key for the LOTR:O beta because i've not heard that at all, its obviously not polished? wow beta was a mess too, but googling its all pretty positive apart from trolling, but i couldn't find any full writeups either. If its personal...l *cough* send me your key *cough*, if its that bad i take it you won't want to play again |

I played Star Wars Galaxies when it first came out, but it got real boring after awhile. They never updated quests enough to keep the game interesting enough. It really just became a complete treadmill game (mining minerals/making crafts/selling/repeat!). The game I hear has changed completely since I was on. They changed the combat system which I hear is horrible. It is all a real tragedy since Star Wars has a fairly deep mythological base to it. They could have made it so much better. The only other one I've played is Guild Wars. It has a nice balance to it. You can't get too crazy with powerful weapons/spells. It has a very Diablo feel to it (but much prettier) and is nice to play in groups. It also has the benefit of you buy the game and then you play... no monthly fees. Hope this helps! |

To be honest, the only two mmos ive ever played were WoW, and EVE. Ive been playing WoW for 2-3? years now, and it still keeps me interested. I played EVE for 5ish days on a trial account...didnt really like the combat system. The downside of WoW is the monthly 15 dollar fee, but i think its totally worth it. They are always coming out with new patches that add new content to the game...dungeons, quests, etc. If you do decide to play WoW, play on the server Blood Furnace Its a new server, so there arent tons of players in rape-your-mom gear yet. Im "Proto" on that server. |

i know two people that have been playing eve for over 2 years now, but that kind of strategy where you can't get out of your ship and run round shooting people isn't really my thing |

heh heh yeah i feel ya, also didnt like the way you couldnt actually controll your ship, you just had to click a point in space and tell it to go there. |

The only next gen MMO that has me interested is Age of Conan (I actually run an AoC guild that is getting prepared for Beta). The beta application process started a few days ago (sign up here if you're interested). The game is set to launch on October 30th this year. If you don't know anything about AoC, watch these videos to get an introduction to what AoC will offer: Developer Commentary E3'06 (Part I | Part II) HD GDC'07 Walk Through (Part I | Part II) HD Gameplay Preview (Here) Here are some of the highlights of what AoC brings to the table:

Yeah i've been watching that one, it looks great but its had some really bad news... a dumbed down console version and the flood of children being one of them http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/ageofcona ... id=6154511 Looks good though, i'll sign up and have a look if its an open beta

a thread from times long gone; i have absolutely no time for mmos anymore. I'd have to quite my job and get another one to pick up a game that wastes that much time anymore. I still manage to slot in single player games now and then though |
