play single player rpgs. everything you want is there and you dont have to wait 4 hours to pick up a quest item cause of other players. if you like the chatty side, open a forum and stick it to 'always on top'. the mmos your describing are dead. spr…
That's what I was saying and I agree with that. BTW, you reach the horse vendor at lvl 8 as a Guardian while doing quests. It's just south of Argent Glade. I really don't care about having to wait about getting a mount, that wasn't the point. The p…
The main problem I find with MMO's is the sense of wonder has gone. With your first MMO you really feel like somehow your going to be able to really achieve something - that the level 50/60/70/80/90/100 lands are going to offer something completely …
Originally posted by ultimateduck I like the slow, methotical nature of MMO's. I think they've gotten completely out of control with leveling to cap in a month, burning out on endgame content which forces you to reroll alts and pray for an expansio…
Nice write up! And some very interesting ideas!
The more I read of GW2, the more I like the idea they're trying to push the MMO in a different direction...
I do feel the money boys must have seen enough failures now to be wary to plough money in…
At present you have to quest to get the items - it's something which really gets on my nerves. You can't even look to the rewards and ignore the ones with no items, just in case it leads to a line of quests leads to an item you do need.
Not having…
Yep, old school MMO dungeons where much better than todays. Not only becuase of everything the OP says but also because if you did manage to get an epic drop then it would last you at least a month of play before you got anything better.
Nowadays …
16 years of the same game type and only now your getting bored?
Good run if you ask me, time to try something else then I guess - tried CIV 5? Some bloke on here was raving about it, new Shogun coming out, Dead Space 2...
Lots of fishies in the …
I'll play GW2 (hell, who won't?) when it's released, snuggle up to FFXIV for comfort in the mean time but this is the one which makes my heart go pitter pat. I'm turning into a right fanboi for it!
I mean, the reviewer for MMORPG played it at E3 a…

Not an mmo but maybe you should give:
Front Mission Evolved
A go from Square - just released and looks like it could be a laugh. Haven't read any reviews but...
I really like the idea your presenting.
The problem is a game can succeed without a great community - simply though being a great game. So, create a great game, bring out updates which make it even better and people will play it, and be happy with…
WoW does have lore:

While you may not think killing the Lich King is much of a 'lore', I guess havin…
I agree pierth with what your saying but this is going to kill WoW as we know it. I mean, bring out a WoW2 and do this to it sure but they haven't, they're doing it to WoW. We're never going to see the original WoW again.
And who else has done it?…
I know this is far to late in the forum to say this but, well, gonna say it anyway...
Alot of people here seem to hold the idea: "Your first MMO can never be beaten." and I don't really think that's true.
My EQ2 experience was a load better than…
If your after PvP then yeah, got nothing in common with DAOC, they're going to introduce PvP but who knows when that will be.
If your more after the same kind of PvE play style then I'd say FF14 is about as close as I've played to DAOC - there's a…
Nice review OP and good luck to all those who are still trying to get your keys and downloads.
For my opinion I'll state from the off I'll most prob buy this game.
BUT
My mouse doesn't lag. Not even slightly. (GTX 295, 4 core, 4 GB ram - 1600*…
