I’ve played several using Shadow PC for over a year now and most work really well. I play on a MacBook and normally on Ethernet so it works better for me than it might for someone trying with an iPad or phone. I basically use it to game from my couc…

I found the most in WoW and Everquest 2. WoW has several guilds geared toward older players and the EQ2 player base in general is usually older and more mature.

Sad to read, I hope EQ and EQ2 are bought if DBG continues to slide. I’ve actually really enjoyed my time on the EQ2 TLE server for the last year or so.

I didn’t realize Pantheon was pushing cutting edge graphics. I did have the problem you mentioned when EQ2 came out. I wanted to play it so badly but never had the PC for it. I’m finally playing it now and it’s still demanding on my pc maxing out th…

Definitely did for EQ2 upon release. I couldn’t play it until years later, despite wanting to as an EQ1 player. People crap on the graphics now but many places still look pretty impressive when you run high or exteme graphics settings with some twea…

I felt this the worst with FFXIV. That whole community seems YouTube-obsessed with dungeon and raid runs. The players who do the guides are community celebrities. The dungeons are so mechanic-intensive that one player not doing something correctly w…

I also think the social side of the internet still being in it’s formative years was greatly beneficial for the MMO community. As the poster above said, a lot of people simply thought it was cool to be there and be actually chatting and playing alon…

I loved the challenge and danger of the open world. The tunnel brings back good memories as does the intricate and occasionally frustratimg weaving of bard songs, rooting mobs with my Druid and trying to nuke them before they got loose and demolishe…

I’ve had this happen a few times as well. I even have days during the week where I think I’m done with a game and lost all interest, only to be really feeling it again the next day. It’s like some kind of gaming bi-polar tendancy. I also get instanc…

Does Mudlet work for Gemstone and Dragonrealms? I always figured those games required some type of custom client.

Achaea and the other IRE games are super-immersive and great fun. As someone who’s played MMOs going all the way back to EQ1 up to FFXIV and many in between, Achaea is still the world I was most fascinated with. The player run cities, factions and o…

I really enjoy the graphics of LOTRO, I’m a sucker for that renaissance-ish theme, though. What I couldn’t get past was the choppiness or random freezes while playing. I’m on a high-end laptop and tried different settings but it still persisted. I…

Akulas said: Wildstar doesn't count because it is a ghost town with 2 people who speak chinese at the starting zones and some afk max level sitting in town. Which is kind of sad since I feel it outclasses a lot of more popular MMOs. I'v…

I've tried to get into EQ2 as I played and loved EQ1. EQ1 truly felt like a MUD brought to a graphical platform. It had the same characteristics and deep lore and community. When EQ2 came out I couldn't run it on my PC so I missed out. Years and yea…

To add, I love the traditional fantasy tropes - wizards, witches, damsels, knights, rogues and the whole lot.
-
Wildstar - IMO a lot more enjoyable than people give it credit for.
-
I sometimes have this problem with FFXIV. Outside of relic weapon, it feels like everything you 'achieve' is so quickly wiped away and replaced. Kind of makes me struggle with motivation.
-
FFXIV has a Ninja and it's pretty heavily rumored Samari will be arriving in the future.
-
IRE games are deep and complex to the point where the players really do run most things and your actions in game can profoundly affect the world. Much of the history and lore is written from real player events and organizational conflicts in the pas…

Something very folklore and fairytale inspired. Can look cartoony in that older Disney-style. RP-driven, player-run organizations and mostly open world with a long leveling process like the MMOs of old. No rush to endgame, no raiding is all that mat…
