I would like to vote yes on this, because I like that openness in a game, but I voted no because it's EQ, and I liked the way the original classes were done.
Someone early on in this thread said that they couldn't see halflings or gnomes as warrio…

I am re-installing EQ even as I type this. I had an idea for something t…
I am playing Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. I stopped playing MMOs altogether for a long time, and then I decided to give Vanguard a try, since I hadn't played it before. I am having a pretty good time in there, playing casually.
I am completely neutral on the housing issue. My ex spent a lot of time decorating in UO and EQ2, but I hardly ever went "home" except to leave junk there or pick up junk I'd left there.
I don't even mind the game itself, but the restrictions on the free players are a little over-the-top. I was kind of enjoying my gnome wizard, though... But when I reinstalled Windows, I didn't bother to reinstall EQ, because pretty much any other …
I know a couple of people, including my boyfriend, who won't play because it's not a productive use of time. That's not specific to MMO games, though. They won't play any video games. And, according to them, nobody else should either, because there…
Are you going to be playing on the Mac server? I've considered buying a used Mac to check it out. Planes of Power was the last expansion they got, AFAIK.
I am a Shadow Knight enthusiast. I am playing a magician on my current return run, but SK…
Being a freak, I am taking my 45 days to play a character on Trakanon, which is a virtually empty regular server.
On a whim, I made a guild, "Onward to Waffles". It's just me, but I'll invite anyone who asks-- my name is Eris. /tell me! (LOL)
I was going to suggest Ryzom, but people have done that already
re: EQ1 (since it was asked) -- Yes, the world is huge, but it's not seamless (if that matters). That is to say, there's loading between maps. (Not sure how much of a newbie you a…
It seems to me that I've played some games where ponytails had a lot of swing, but I am drawing a blank on which ones they were... Mostly, I'm afraid it's hair helmets all around, especially for male characters that don't have those extra pieces to …

Jade Dynasty is the only PW mmo worth talking about. Period.
JD is still my favorite PWE game, but I am kind of digging FW too. (And I kind of thought I was the only person on this entire site with an…
You might try logging into different servers and try talking to people. Some servers are just friendlier and/or more newbie friendly than others. I know the General channel used to be pretty busy on some of the servers, pretty much all of the time-…
If you enjoyed Perfect World when you played it, then I would recommend going with Forsaken World. It will probably feel familiar, but I think it has some charm to it.
Allods is ok, but I think I'd steer you toward Runes of Magic instead, unl…
Originally posted by kalinis I think the biggest problem with mmo's isnt the games but the players. They are to busy looking back at games they no longer play whining about the old days.
they claim they are hardcore but are the ultimate casual jum…

Well, in EQ, 99% of the time is spent in leveling before max level and that means camping spawns. There is NO OTHER legit way to play EQ than mob grind to level. UO is different .. even worse. The griefing broug…

I wish MMORPGs were more open, persistant world RPGs and less quest-and-level treadmill RPGs-. I wish they were more Morrowind and less Diablo. But they are what they are, and …
TL;DR: Indeed, I am disappointed with recent games in many ways. And perhaps the communities as well.
I prefer virtual fantasy worlds with an open-ended experience, aimed more at being an experience for the player rather than just a game of getti…
My experience has been really different. I both drop in to play old games I've played before, and drop into old games I've never played before, and I really don't see what the big deal is. Ok, the character models in Asheron's Call are pretty eye-go…
I ... have no idea. I only played during vanilla. My couple of trial returns with BC added didn't last long enough for me to see any difference between the game I played and what it became, other than the addition of a couple of races.
