  Gah, hasn't anyone ever heard of a little game called Darkfall?!

Mellow D:
City of Heroes is pretty good, though having to solo at level 30 is annoying

 I'm currently playing WoW... Suffice to say, it sucks.

I've been playing off and on for a while... I started my rogue back in late '04 early '05(ish). I got to 58 in about 3 months time(didn't play too much, and sadly, these were the golden days of WoWing) and then took a long break until BC was released. Some of my friends who I was playing with a lot before the break came back too, so that was cool... The new content was kinda neat, but it only kept my attention for the better part of a week(I had exams, which didn't help either =0). When I quit back in February I was lv63 with a couple of my closest in-game friends around the same level. So, as winter slowly faded to spring, and spring to summer, I decided I might as well pick up WoW again... It's still the same old shit, only with nobody around.

 My biggest WoW pet-peeve is the fucking tedious ass quests. I'd rather go on a slaughter fest instead of doing this bullshit for these people. There's no god-damned short prologue to get you interested in the task that they're making you do, but it's just as well, because each of these quests of epic proportions that you're sent on take about 10minutes max! It's just "Hey man, I lost my book atop the Ogre Mound south of here. Go get it for me and I'll give you a sensual award *wink* *wink*" You're retarded if you decide you'd like to explore the place yourself and find it, because you can do it in half the time if you use thottbot to tell you exactly what to do. It's bullshit, less MMO and more RPG people! These bullshit quests you do to no avail daily just feel like chores to get exp! Quest grinding is like 1000000 times worse than monster grinding! Basically, I'm fighting to even play the game, I'm that bored with it. Isn't it supposed to be vice versa with MMORPGs?

Seriously guys, the first MMORPG that actually has a cool story will be phenomenal. FFXI was pretty awesome, but the grinding was horrendous since parties were mandatory.

Anyway, if anyone plays Server: Drak'thul  Name:Elverkonge Faction:Alliance Class: level 66 Rogue

I've played a few....here are my opinions...


Guild Wars - if you don't want to pay a monthly fee, go with Guild Wars; frequent expansions, Nice graphics....it's a pretty good game. However, it -is- free for a reason, and I don't feel it has the same long term appeal as some of the other subscription games. In all...it's a poor man's lineage. Guild Wars is pretty, but when it comes down to it, I want a little more than ‘pretty’….but that’s no reason to turn away; Guild Wars looks good, seems to release new content and expansions faster than you can buy them, and is well worth a look if you’re not wanting to pay a subscription fee….if you are willing to pay to play, then have a look at an upgrade…


Lineage 2 - For a long time, Lineage 2 was my favorite game....why did I stop playing? Because of the free pvp. Never buy a game that has free pvp....why? Because sooner or later you'll end up in that 'low level, high level' crossover zone, and some high level wazzock will find it funny to go out of his way to one-hit you, laugh, and run off....no reason, just to be a smeghead. Death in Lineage was far too expensive (massive exp loss, and potential drop of gear, up to and including your currently equipped weapon/amour) for this to be justified....PKers killed Lineage for me, and I don't intend to go back. It was a good game in its day though…it’s probably the prettiest MMORPG on the market, with a massive selection on nice looking armor, weapons, raid bosses, and so on….but honestly, the world is pretty small by MMORPG standards, and the odds of you making it through the low levels without being ganked are next to 0. You’ll lose gear, levels, and time far too often, and just be driven to frustration.


City of Heroes/Villains - Fun, but a little dated. Extensive character customization though...far in excess of any other MMORPG on the market (that I know of). Soloing can be a little difficult at times, but it’s still a fun little enterprise. While I don’t believe that CoH/V is the –best- on the market, it still is a very good game, that I don’t really find any fault with it. My only real turn off was the absolute lack of RP that went on. If all you want to do is fight, fight, fight, then CoH/V is worth a look (P.S. City of Villains kicks City of Heroes in the marbles).


Lord of the Rings Online – Bought it, played it, wasn’t impressed. However, it’s far too early to be writing it off. The Game is still young, and there’s still a lot of content to be added…but, thus far, it was the least enjoyable MMORPG I’ve played. I’m keeping my account with it though, just to give it a sporting chance later when there’s some new content added.


World of Warcraft – There are three types of people in the world….those who love WoW, those who hate WoW, and those who have yet to play it. For people who have been introduced to the game, there simply aren’t any neutral stances…I happen to be in the majority camp that believe it is, by far and away, the best MMORPG on the market, and will likely continue to be so. While there are some things I find at fault with WoW, the fact is that the game has provided me with a great deal of fun and enjoyment that far outweighs whatever personal gripes I may have.

The game world is absolutely vast (larger still since the Burning Crusade came out, and with the likely addition of a new continent in the next expansion), there are many playable races with their own distinct character and flavor, many different classes that can be specialized to do very different things (a Holy Paladin and Retribution paladin, although the same class, will fight in a very different manner, for example), two distinct factions with their own storylines, cities and characters, optional pvp (on non-pvp servers) so you won’t be endlessly ganked by high level wazzocks….WoW simply offers more than anything else that I’ve yet encountered.

Obviously, nobody is going to be completely happy with it…but I can honestly say that I have yet to hear an argument from the ‘anti’ camp that I really agreed with, or that I felt was strong enough to make the game either not worthwhile, or not fun to play. WoW is what it is: the market leader, and I believe it is worthy of its reputation as being the best in the field.

I know it's not an MMO, but for someone who is griping about there being less RPing in MMOs, you can pick up The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, or Oblivion.  The former of which is incredibly dated and shoddy looking compared to most RPGs/MMOs today, but you cannot find a richer world than Morrowind.  Literally endless things to do.  I spent an entire summer playing it, beating the three main quests, as well as two guild quests, and a Great House quest.  I think I logged over one hundred hours on it in three weeks time.  Strictly for the fact that it is such a wonderful, deep environment, Morrowind is probably one of my favorite games ever, if not my favorite.
