For most of the games I loved, I became bored after 3 to 6 months and moved to a different game. The few that I revisited did not have that feeling of a new adventure that you have in a new game.

I prefer to play cooperatively rather pvp. I like to explore and have an adventure. Combat is only a part of what I like in MMO's. Also, I am at a low ping disadvantage as none of my game have servers that are located close to Australia. PvE im…

I loved this game. I haven't played in ages. Is the storyline up to where the big battles start? The game always did lag in areas where there were a lot of players.

The most popular MMO's all have classes. Most are hybrids with skills as well. Some games with classes allow game play without the standard tank, healer and dps mix in a group. Most skill based games have builds for which player communities have …

The first 30 levels are the tutorial. It it introduces features that are unlocked as you level up. There are player made guides in the forums. Players are rewarded if they make an original guide. Leveling is slower later on. An experienced player…

What players say they want, when implemented, often has consequences that does not make game play fun. When I started playing EQ, I chose Troll warrior. It worked well at low levels. The troll regeneration, however, did not scale up as you level…

Entertainment can now be sold to the whole world from a single virtual "shop". Even a small percentage of the world's population may be a large enough number to make a profit. Previously, if stores could not sell several copies at their local out…

A good article. Why are there so many off topic comments on the group vs solo debate?

Repeating content inevitably becomes boring. Don't blame quests The 2 games I enjoyed the most in last few years were Rift and LoTRO. Both games had quests and cinematic sequences that made the game a lot more enjoyable. In both games I leveled …

There is a market for solo play. The development costs are a lot lower if developers can use graphics, landscapes and dungeons from a group or raid based game. They just need to scale it for solo play and tweak the quest and gameplay for solo …

I am currently playing Secret World. I enjoyed the game initially. Having the potential to learn all skill sets is an interesting variation on leveling/skills used in other games. The video sequences for missions added to the immersiveness. Howe…

I loved CoH. Sad to think that new players will never have the opportunity to play.

I would play a pure PvE game with no PvP. I would not play a PvP game where PvP is non-consentual. I will play a PvE game that has consentual PvP as I can choose to play it as a PvE game. By consentual PvP, I mean PvP is restricted to battlegr…

Chuck Norris jokes in WoW.

The main reason that 3 realms does not work is that in most implementations of realms you can only group with that fraction of people who belong to the same realm for PvE. This is because the 3 realms for pvp purposes was also applied to PvE. Eve…

Almost every point is not an issue in the game if you chose to do it in a different way. For example, on the Defiant side, all of the crafting machines can be found in Meridian in a single room. The easiest way to get gear while leveling is from …

I have been playing Rift for 6 months. During that time I have not had any significant problems with bugs and never needed customer service. The free trial costs nothing except time to download the trial. You can then experience the game and d…

Games I liked (in approximate chronological order): Impossible Mission (Commodore 64) Zork series (Commodore 64) Empire (early PC) Might and Magic series (PC) Everquest Civilization (still playing) Horizons (aka Istaria) Dark Age…

The games I loved and replayed the most were: * Civilization * Might & Magic 6, 7, 8 (not Heroes of Might & Magic) - Unfortunately the graphics are too low resolution to play on modern PC's. * Impossible Mission (Commodore 64 )

This type of thing has already been done successfully in CIty of Heroes (CoH). Althought, a small number of fights in CoH did still require the holy trinity. For most dungeons, any combination of classes and any size group (solo to full group) cou…
