How do you feel about this kind of game? baddood;
I tend to play a LOT of these games from free to brief stints with WoW and other pay mmos like EVE.
Recently I got back into City of Heroes and am loving it.
Something about the grind is enjoyable to me... akudood;
so yea what are your favourite ones? or do you despise them more than you hate Felt?
I used to play Final Fantasy XI with my sister like in 07 when we first got a 360. It was ok for a bit akudood;
I played tried WoW at a friends and I played some skeleton thing on the Horde side.
Now I've been wanting to get into EVE online, City of Heroes or Rift.
But right not I've been playing Forsaken World, which Is pretty fun hocuspocus;
Oh and I have the biggest hardon for Knights of the Old Republic so far akudood;
never played one; never plan to
MOTHER FUCKING MAPLESTORY.
Never thought I'd pay for online subscription, but I started out with EVE. I'm glad I did. I can earn a whole month of gametime in a few days cjlubdoods; (PM me for free 21 day trials) Having a Boyah corp would be cool saddood;
I also tried out DC Universe Online. I liked it, but it lacked customization. I heard they're getting new DLC though so I may start back up.
downloading Runes of Magic...For some reason I've really wanted to play it akudood;
I've only played Fiesta Online but MMORPGs are ok. They just can take a lot out of your life though. And you can miss so much or not progress very far if you don't play it a lot.
Oh actually I downloaded Spiral Knights not too long ago and it was pretty fun. And then the new Age of Empires game is going to be part MMO :( So I'll play that a little bit too.
no thanks myface;

I thought the same way and then I bought WoW after playing on private servers for a while.
and they can be extremely time consuming especially if you get into them.

huh confuseddood;
I play WoW and it's great if you have friends playing with you. I'm currently on a break right now, but I'm sure I'll end up playing in a few months like always.

As in I thought I would never pay for an mmo :3
sorry about that I didn't realise how vague and confusing it was.
I payed to play a couple. I also borrowed accounts. The ones I've tried...
EVE, didn't like it.
Champions Online (Steam) Holy shit the UI is awful.
Global Agenda I tried to get into the closed beta for. Didn't. Played the F2P version. It'd be nice if I had a premium user to train me up, I think. It looks to be mostly PVP based.
Trickster Online was good in Closed Beta, then they added ice-monsters which all looked like Chiyo-chichi with beautifully sculpted asses. I quit then and there.
Maplestory, I played a long time. Then it got bad with hacking. Now it's nothing like when I started. I don't know what the fuck it even is.
Shin Megami Tensei: IMAGINE was fun in closed beta, but my computer struggled with it. I like how smooth it played even then. I really liked it. I sort of haven't had a friend to return with, since I originally played with a girlfriend who is now an ex.
WoW, I played with said girlfriend. She dumped me for raiding on this game. After playing with her for a year, I sort of broke down and quit. Then my stepdad wanted my account. When I said okay, he deleted all my effort and I'm not going to fight for all my pets again. That was some severe horseshit.
Getamped 2, run by cyberstep. I made a thread about it. It was good, but is now overrun by people from the Phillipines. I am NOT kidding when I say every single one of them are cheating motherfucks. All the good players left a while ago. Same with Cosmic break, but that has tits.
hm...

Well I think one of the major appeals of EVE Online is your growth. You start off as a lone player, who can't fly any good ships. You can do anything you want to do. As time goes on, you become better and better. You make more friends and begin to grasp the ropes. Eventually, you can start your own corp, and then even an alliance. You go from a nobody to someone who if they wanted, could totally flip the whole player driven game. If you're using an account, it's not the same experience.
QuoteWith an in-game scam revealed early today, the character "Dentara Rast" made off with a reported 700bn in ISK and assets. He apparently embezzled the money from the EVE Intergalactic Bank, which he previously managed. Some estimate this amount to be valued as high as $130,000 USD. (Note that per CCP's EULA, scams of this type are permitted)
QuoteIn April 2005, with a daring act of corporate espionage, a gang of ruthless and cunning mercenaries infiltrated one of EVE Online’s player run corporations and conducted a lightning campaign of destruction, robbery and killing that brought it to its knees.
Several months previously the Guiding Hand Social Club, a mercenary guild specialising in warfare and contract killing, were hired to target and destroy a player called Mirial who was leader of the powerful player corporation Ubiqua Seraph. Rather than simply go on the attack, instead the GHSC members executed a cunning plan with the aim of inflicting damage not only to Mirial but to her* entire operation.
Their first step was to infiltrate Ubiqua Seraph, which they did â€" several of their operatives joined the corporation and then, over a period of several months, manoeuvred themselves into positions of responsibility at every level of their target corp. They even put on mock skirmishes and other events to help them gain favour and standing with Ubiqua Seraph’s ruling elite.
After seven months of careful advancement they were in a position ready to strike: They had access to all the corp’s hangers and banks and other assets. The only thing left to do was swoop in for the kill.
And on April 18th they did just that. The first part of the attack was directed personally against Mirial. A GHSC operative who had become close to her persuaded her in to a rendezvous with him in her most expensive ship. When she turned up she found a team of GHSC assassins waiting for her. They made quick work of her ship, and then also destroyed her escape pod â€" taking her corpse as a prize.
At the same time a code word was sent to other GHSS players poised for action across the universe. They then swung in to action: Emptying Ubiqua Seraph banks, stealing equipment and destroying what they couldn’t rip off.
Then just as quickly as it had started, the raid was over. All of the GHSC operatives involved had disappeared, heading off to gloat on the forums.
All said and done, the cost of the raid was awesome. Counting up all the destroyed equipment and stolen cash and assets the grand total ran to roughly 30 billion ISK â€" The equivalent of $16,500 in real money at the conversion rates of the time. When it happened this made it the biggest event of its kind in EVE history, and it still stands as arguably one of the most audacious!
These are just two examples. Another was an alliance leader was paid to turn on his alliance. He stole billions worth of in game money through blueprints and other items. The alliance ended up going bankrupt and losing all of it's sovereignty, sending other alliances into a rush to grab the unclaimed space.
Also the reason I asked the time you played is because they used to have learning skills that you'd have to train. Essentially, you'd have to train skills to train other skills faster. Now they're gone, thankfully.
The only MMO that I will still play is maplestory. But they like redesigned the whole game now, and my account closed from inactivity and I emailed em to get it back, but they want a photocopy of my license and shit and I'm like no. I had some bad ass shiz. Couple maple weopons including a maple shield and I was like lvl 43.
Diablo II was the main MMO for me. But I haven't played that since I was in like, grade 7.
I need a better processor for any upcoming MMOs that are gonna be good.
anyone else get into the star wars: the old republic beta?
also, dem 38 gigabytes myface;
There was a period of my life (like 7th-9th grade) where my life was basically dictated by MMORPGs, I probably put over 9000 hours into Guild Wars.
Fun shit, not sure I could get into one now though.
did anyone get in the old republic beta?
i did
