    DAOC - Best for RvR and PvP
    Lotro - Best Questing
    TSW - For something with a unique feel.

    AoC - Honourable mention for starting you out crashed on a desert island.

    gw2 is the only game that doesn't try to nickel-and-dime you for everything, so I guess I'd only have that. Especially since I wouldn't have any money for a sub or cash shop garbage.

    I choose the island over any MMORPG.

    The first would be Everquest. Second I'd go through that dimensional rift but 10 years ahead to where Pantheon rise of the fallen had just released and 3rd Star Citizen which had just entered beta.

    Ryzom - Different from anything else and forever playable.

    Anarchy Online - My first love.

    Tabula Rasa - That means it didn’t get shut down. Ha!

    Kyleran on yours sincerely 


    'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    None. The lag would be unbearable.

    Ahhh Ryzom one of the most well hidden gems.

    For me it would have to be Everquest, DAOC, and the 3rd would likely be SWG (for my sci fi itch) or maybe New World (just to have something with modern graphics lol). But the first 2 are non negotiable.

    Unfortunately, the island is on a distant planet where you’ll be marooned for a decade.
    If that planet has no people - there is no point in having any MMOs, the latency of interplanetary connection would make these games unusable even if connection would use lasers for data transfer.

    That is a good point fellow MMORPGer,

    But, eh - you're forgetting about the transdimensional wormhole satellite data service you signed up for before you left. At worst you have a 55 ms ping. 

    Of course, because you're out of your normal service area your bill will be triple the normal cost. 

    You could contact customer service, but in order to change your service address you have to sign a new contract. You have to ask yourself, would it be worth the hassle?

    Enjoying the conversation all, thanks for keeping this very real scenario grounded to reality! Happy posting!

    Lord of the Flies Online .... What it doesn't exist? Well I guess I'll have to hope I'll have some fellow castaways so we can just create the game for real.

    Honestly I can't say I'd enjoy being stuck with any current MMO offering for the next 10 years. I hope someone develops something modern with a compelling story and solid gameplay loop eventually, but I'm not aware of anything on the radar.
  • XenokevXenokev Member UncommonPosts: 43
    Current Gen I would have to pick

    FF14
    WoW
    New World

    Nostalgia I would have to pick

    DAoC around SI launch time period
    CoH around release launch time period
    WoW around release launch time period

    I'll bite...

    LOTRO - questing/world
    FFXIV - Never played it but if I'm on an island with free time like that I would play something I've never played with lots of content.
    Star Citizen - I'm stuck on an island, I've got years until I die, I've got time to hope to see beta before said death and I can log in and play while it's building to whatever it will build toward.
  • olepiolepi Member EpicPosts: 3,017
    LoTRO for the story lines, questing, and general world. I love Tolkein.

    City of Heroes, for when I want to just drop in, nuke some bad guys, and get out.

    Not sure about the last one. Probably Ryzom, since it will take another decade to get to 250 in digging for all the other factions. At least.

    Honorable mention: ESO, SWTOR, New World. Perhaps Star Citizen if it ever actually releases and is playable on whatever laptop I was able to save.

    I'd probably swap out the third MMO for a single player game, like Civilization, or maybe Skyrim, if I could.

    With my Experiences playing various MMORPGs over a Sat connection I would have to go with Star Wars Galaxies, Everquest 2 and Dungeons and Dragons online. All 3 were playable at least using the Sat connection. Star Trek Online was also decently playable but not quite as friendly to the lag spikes compared to the other 3.

    World of Warcraft, Rift, Guild Wars 2, The Old Republic were all too laggy to be called playable.

    Really any of the faster combat/action MMORPGs wear nearly unplayable on a Sat connection and played better on Dial up lag wise. Sat was great foir getting the updates downloaded tho.

    LOTRO
    GW2
    OSRS (I better have RuneLite)

    Actually third pick is a tie between OSRS and ESO. I'd have to do a hard think about that.
