I actually did a very similar post to this in my blog awhile ago. Being someone who studies literature, I often find myself drawn to single-player RPGS--more particularly, old school RPGS--where you take on the persona of one particular hero (and ma…

SUCH a good read! I always wondered why my husband and I could never play MMOs as hard-core as some people do, but we both have jobs that are autonomous, complex, and rewarding. We would play a game in a 6-10 month stint and move on to another one. …

My only concern with a popular vote for including people is--of course--the popularity contest aspect of it all. Good posters may not necessarily be popular (I like to think I contribute when I decide to join a discussion, but it most certainly does…

I've done roundtables before, but they weren't so "forum-based" as this is. We were all staff of a particular prominent fan site and we essentially discussed a topic on the players' minds in the staff forums and then whittled it down to one organize…

I believe Penny Arcade illustrated this concept best. But frankly, it's not just gaming. You're right--people generally don't go around to Chevy dealers yelling at people if they don't buy PT Cruisers. However, have you looked in political forums…

I have been debating on whether or not I want to respond to this thread, partially because I know I'm inevitably going to get flamed and whatever else. I'm a girl. And yes, I know all the jokes--"Guy In Real Life, maybe!" etc. And before you ask,…

Originally posted by ForceQuit Well, good news (or bad depending on how you look at it) is that Wheel of Time is being made into an MMO. We know absolutely nothing else about it though. Red Eagle games. Second, and this is my opinion only,…

It depends what you're talking about. Many F2P games do have the cartoon-y, anime appearance--but they're typically produced by Asian companies who are targeting their primary audience: the Eastern demographics. And as another member mentioned, it'…

As someone who studies Medieval literature--trust me, very few games are Medieval. I would love to see more Medieval games. Problem is, then you can't be a furry or some sort of scaly thing. Most people like variety in races, and thus a true Mediev…

I was in an adult-only guild (18 yrs+) called ARCH during my stint with Warhammer Online. Although they still exist through multiple games (AoC, WAR, Pirates etc.), they have sense changed their name to "The Collegium." I had no qualms with them, b…

Are you allowed to ask if it's 3d, 2.5d, or 2d? :-D

As others have said, it's already been done. I suggest looking up Sarah Robbins (Intellagirl)--she's a professor at Indiana University who has gotten a lot of media coverage for teaching composition classes in Second Life. She's an awesome person a…

Originally posted by RudyRaccoon Originally posted by Aalynia A large reason people don't group--particularly in the lower levels--is that your experience gets divided in most games. If you solo a mob, you may get 100 exp. If you kill it with …

Originally posted by RudyRaccoon Originally posted by Tobias4 Originally posted by RudyRaccoon I really don't know what to think now, are you all saying MMO's are now becoming more like their Single Player cousins, the only difference being y…

I'm lucky in the sense that my husband and I play MMOs together. Even if he's travelling for work, it's something we can do together. Now, on the other hand, I've made some pretty good friends through MMOs. Even after quitting a game, we'll still…

Originally posted by nate1980 There's a difference between choosing one game over another due to personal preference and choosing one game over another due to technical issues, quality, a lack of service, and/or a lack of features. What I'm getti…

Although you could say it's an extrapolation of information, FFXIV's "About" page says the game is to be released for PS3 and PC. Since that is the case, one would assume that the game would be playable with a controller (claim #2 in the poll). E…
