What does this say about the current state of MMO gaming...

It's Saturday night, and we're sitting here reading and posting instead of actually playing an MMO...
Me? My video card died. Asus shipped the replacement on Friday. Until then I've got my wifes laptop!

Don't know about you but i actually only go on forums when im medding or doing an activity i can afk with when playing a game, very rarely do i actually sit and just look at the forums
I just got in, was out with friends, gonna hit the sack cuz I gotta be up early... on a Sunday... yeah I know. Just popped in here to drop a few lines before I crash, no games to play either.
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

Maybe a mysterious force that governs the Universe is just balancing us out. It could very well be a good thing that we're all getting a break from playing at the moment and soon enough, we'll be blink and some of our dream games will have manifested and we'll be playing them
^_^
And hey, It doesn't hurt to read a little extra every now and then instead of playing video games all the time
I personally might go and re buy a sega saturn and play some of those old but amazing games.
I just got done of FE actually, I've been spending an immense amount of time playing the game. For me, I don't know why I come here anymore... I should probably stop, it's bad for my health :P

I'm just waiting for SWTOR.
I have this little key on my keyboard that minimizes my MMO and I have mmorpg.com open.
Its really great I get to play my game and when im afk or waiting on my buddies to fleet up I can post......
See not everyone sits on a forum with no game to play. I can easily do both.
PLaying: EvE, Ryzom
Waiting For: Earthrise, Perpetuum
I like to read and respond to these because I sometimes get better advice on online gamming from the people here than I do paying for some mag that catters to most of the DEVswho want to sell me a game I may not like at all, but they arn't going to tell me what kinds of problems i'm likely to run into. I would also like to point out that this isn't much different that what you see on most online games between people who are just there doing nothing, or waiting for friends to log in. This is just as good but i'm not taking up space on some server somewhere holding people back from playing the game.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
Yeah even this forum is more fun than playing one of the crappy MMOs out there.
Gate Jumping in EVE
A tiny mind is a tidy mind...
Forums is my current form of MMO's. I find most forums more entertaining than most modern MMO's
Ive been puttering around online, reading, and on here going through the forums to find a new MMO before I end up back on FFXI lol.
I ended up like this over the past week trying to find a new MMO to play, sifting through all the cookie cutter garbage, to even tryin some lame text based broswer mmo crap o.O.
Now, im just bored :S
Gathering in AION.
What's wrong with being part of a community while doing random tasks and checking to see 'wassup'?
Objectivity is delivered with a lack of personality made for the mainstream but never used for the mainstream.
Meh. This is like Barrens chat without the Chuck Norris jokes.

Zorndorf, good on you man but reading that made me feel a little sick inside.
I wish I wasn't so sick of WoW so I could have so much fun. Keep on enjoying and I hope it lasts a long time.

It says absolutely nothing. It is well known that the user base of mmorpg isn't in any sense a representation of the genre.
Forum activity doesn't necessarily indicate boredom. I browse occasionaly to check if there are any flawed arguments towards Aion, its a pity watching people bored when they can have fun in a brand new game.
Improve Aion's Graphics with a simple text file that you can create by yourself:
-Increase in-game Field of View to 175% or more
-Increase view distance for players to 100 meters with camera at max distance
-Lots of other settings

Its good therapy so don't knock it..... the more recent 'new' mmos haven't done much new or imaginative in fact so if you are a mmo veteran there's really not much to inspire you. The mmo genre does seem tired and lost judging by the biggest releases of late but looking head there are a few upcomming titles which just might end up consume your time significantly so catching up on a few good books, films and series is probably the sensible thing to do till they arrive.
This forum can be very interesting, I would call this an MMORPG.
We level up with our post count correct?
We have RvR between threads
We do the odd merchanting
There is alot of faction inbalance WoW nerds - Trolls- Realists
We are online socializing
The debates and arguments count for PvP
Lousy gankers (teaming up on uneducated console nerds, and or foreigners to the genre)
Lots of complaints/rants
Active forum
Amazing story and Lore
We are a MMORPG
I love the PVP aspect of it.
Noone never accepts defeat though.
Any post, even a rant, is an achievement.
Its like grinding the community awareness level up. Teaching them, making them think. Level up!
Now I'm certain you're in a fantasy world!
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-
I only visit these forums while I am at work.
If I could play games during work and not get fired, I would be doing that instead.
I still play Eve Online..I prob always will
I may check out FE this week when i get paid.
(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....then goes silent and stares at wall)
All my opinions are just that..opinions. If you like my opinions..coolness.If you dont like my opinion....I really dont care.
Playing: ESO, WOT, Smite, and Marvel Heroes
*hums*
This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
