I used to play MMOs but in my opinion there is almost no chance that the genre will approach its earlier promise. However I still like to check in to look for trends and hope that something interesting is in development.
I've been yearning for something similar to the OP recently, to the point where I've considered trying to find interesting people who'd start new characters with me in a given MMO, log on at a specific time each day, and level- slowly and deliberate…
Awesome post Kurush. I don't think I've ever read such a succinct, clever, and articulate history of MMO development. If more users like yourself posted on this site perhaps the forums would feel less an endless circle jerk.
Lore is an essential part of creating a sense of immersion in any video game world. It gives you a motivation and rationale for wanting to kill X or fetch Y (in PvE especially), and it enrichs the game world with landmarks, history, and things like …
My favorite class in any MMO I've played is the Reaver. Love the combonation of lifetap procs, lifetap DD, lifetap weapon skills, PBAoE debuffs. You could change your playstyle in combat to either DPS or tank, depending on the situation. Plus the as…
I'll be donating at least $50, would like to give much more but I'll also be donating to a radio station (WFMU) this month and need to save money for college. I really, really hope this game finds the two million in donations it needs. DAoC was a pa…
So after reading, listening, and watching player accounts about clan warfare and politics I've decided to give DF:UO a shot. I've seen more combat videos and am now convinced that this games offers much more than I had initially thought. The map see…
I'm not yet 80 and have logged on maybe three times these past two months, for less than an hour each time. I followed the game very closely during its development and eagerly anticipated every BWE/chance to play the game before release. I really wa…
Good post. I too remember when MMO communities were a lot more friendly and sociable. I made tons of friends playing DAoC and pre-Wrath WoW particularly. Even new games like GW2 that try and emphasize group play in the quest system utterly fail to f…
I played an engineer, theif, necromancer, warrior, and mesmer. By far the mesmer was my favorite class for both PvE and PvP. You just need to read what each move does and play better. There are melee mesmers sword/any off hand, 2nd weapon a greatswo…

This sums up my impressions of D3 as well.
I wasn't expecting much because of the direction I saw Blizzard going in (dumbing down content in order to c…

What is the charm of Diablo 2 and/or 3?
My POV, it is a hack 'n slash co-op:able top-down action-rpg with heavy emphasis on loot and you got few acts which you can complete on harder modes a…
I'd like to be a part of this guild as well. Thinking of rolling an engineer, necro, or theif.
I'm planning on naming my toon Smohalla if I can. If not, I'll just message you in game.
