Final Fantasy XI, hands down, best experience in an MMO I've had.
Not having quest markers leading me through the game by the nose was great for immersion. Having to find all the quests by talking to all the NPCs was an awesome thing I wish more …
I just found humor in it. I'm a stand up comic as a hobby but I guess that means I find humor in things thay the lowest common denominator can't handle. o well, I find funny in it.
FFXI-Gilgamesh server, 1 character games have sch tight community. When server reputation actually means something plyaer tend to be a lot nicer.
CoH: Any Server, It's just a really great community overall. Not nearly as much Douchbaggery as…
I like a challenge but in a cerebral not carpal-tunnel fashion.
In that I like using strategy, position, and knowledge of my enemy to properly choose my attacks. I'm not a big fan of the twitch aspects though. When i play an MMO i like combat th…
I used to be casual.
Back when MMOs weren't the empty shadow that they are now I was a casual.
But I've been relabeled a Hardcore by a lot of todays ubercasuals. I don't like being eleported around the map. I don't mind having to actually send …

Agreed.
Considering what's happened to the genre in the past few years I'd almost be devestated to hear that such a magnificent thing as Dune were d…
Originally posted by ukforze Yewsef is spot on, this along with many other aspects of the mmo's of the past 7-8 years have
become stagnant with no inovation & to much watered down crap, player levels, item levels,
linear 'click & go' cra…
Looks like SW:TOR totally dropped the ball on their pre-orders, lol.
Those boards are on fire right now from all the people who are getting the shaft.
Pre-orders can be ok, as long as they don't pooch it the way EA/BW has on Star Wars.
I'd be interested in a one server game.
Doubt we'll see it any time soon. There are too many varied playstyles, PvE/PvP/RP, that don't really get along. Now maybe a game that had 3 servers, one for each. Just one Huge Open PvP server, a heavily…
Originally posted by ravtec I enjoy running pug groups, i prefer that over premade groups. You never quite know what will happen on each run.
Premade are good for farming stuff quick but not the gameplay i prefer
Agreed.
I love the uncertai…
"I tended to be lucky when I used WoW's dungeon finder. Sure, I got horrible teams (healers refusing to heal being my personal least favorite), but rarely, and if I was on an alt and tanking for the first time, I'd tell my team I was new to tan…
I just found out about it, like 2 hours ago, lol.
The classless system attracts me. It's seams almost like a Sandpark game. There's plot and story but a lot of character freedom which i find attractive.
I was following SWTOR pretty intensly, b…
I agre with the OP.
MMOs are a shadow of what they once were. I doubt there's any going back. There aren't any Devs who are willing to stand up to the money men to make a game that won't draw in the lowest common denominator.
It's in the indus…
Originally posted by denshing I hate that the term "pug" has to exist in mmo's these days altogether. I miss the days where getting to know random/fellow mmo players was a large part of the mmorpg experience. Where did the sludge come from that turn…
World chat is kind of a filter for me.
If I see someone spamming something I consider unsavory I just add them to my /ignore list adn enjoy a nicer chat channel without them.
Originally posted by waynejr2 That being said, that was in the past with the old mmorpg community. IF I was starting today, say in wow, trying to pug the experience likely wouldn't be as fun. Things change not always for the better. ymmv
