  • Check out Vampire: The Masquerade -- Bloodlines
  • You just described Escort quests, bub. A lot of games do this.
  • I have to say, I'm pretty disappointed. I've been looking forward to a WoD MMO for ages now, especially new age WoD, and when they finally design it they aim it towards young women? Why can't they just design the game around the WoD lore and se…
  • That entire article is a repugnant pile of crap. The author is attempting to pin the recent recession and contraction of American economics on our education principles and moral foundations. Please. As if these things have anything to do with ou…
  • My absolute favorite would have to be the Teras Kasi/Fencer/Brawler trio from Pre-NGE SWG. I've never felt so specialized and deadly in one single form of combat (melee) in any other MMO. Aside from that, honorable mentions go to the Mind Controll…
  • Hands down, City of Heroes takes the cake. Back when I played, my Dad looked over my shoulder once and asked what I was doing when I was making a character, I told him and within a week he had bought the game just so he could make a bunch of diffe…
  • Generally, most raid groups take one of each priest class along with them if they can, so don't sweat picking the right class. It all boils down to your playstyle. Try out the different classes for a bit, and choose the one you fall in love with.
  • Have you tried it recently, though? The quality has gone up drastically since launch - DRASTICALLY. It's like a whole different game. And don't think I'm a fanboy either, I'm usually very cynical about MMOs and I only JUST started playing Vangua…
  • I think, that in the case of most of us gamers that always feel a desire to play, it's because we innately love a challenge. That's really what games are, when you boil them down - you spend your time interacting with a virtual world in order to ove…
  • Originally posted by DoomsDay01 Originally posted by jsw40 The only thing that would help SOE in terms of EverQuest classic, would be to revamp the UI and make the game less clunky. Graphic overhauls aren't needed, just a new, modern approach t…
  • I would personally love to play an MMO with little-to-no UI built in to the game. Sure, you can uncheck boxes in options to get no UI, but the game certainly doesn't function effecitvely in that way. Take Oblivion - while there IS a minimap, most …
  • I'd join, but you'd have to organize this better than just making posts on the forum to get over 1000 people.
  • The only thing that would help SOE in terms of EverQuest classic, would be to revamp the UI and make the game less clunky. Graphic overhauls aren't needed, just a new, modern approach to controls and movement. That really is what turns people off …
  •   Originally posted by Ihmotepp   I've tried MUDS several times, but I just can't do it. This is my main problem, moving around. It's to frustrating.   You see a road. You can travel E, W, N, S. You travel South, you see a small village. You cann…
  • Originally posted by Czzarre I still remember the times of MU*. Using your imagination was all the graphics you need. however, modern day graphical MMOs brought a level of grouping and team play that could never be attacined in MUDS. In the end, …
  •   Originally posted by Iiis    However my trouble with them is that sometimes it's a big unnatural moving around, it's hard to feel like you're in a real space.     You should try a text-based MUD that has a map function built into it. If you …
  • Talent Trees in WoW is not theory crafting. Customization in general is not theory crafting. Just because you can choose to take your character one of three routes, doesn't make him unique. A Fury Warrior is not any more unique of a theory than an…
  • ^ This guy is of course, referring to PvP.  If you're a hardcore PvPer, you don't really need to be playing CoX anyways - it's famous for it's grouping/strategic PvE. There's still ample experimentation and inventiveness to be had there.
  • For theorycrafting as you described it, I would suggest A Tale in the Desert, EVE Online and maybe even City of Heroes. - A Tale in the Desert is extreme crafting, organization, planning and strategy in terms of a crafter's know how. There's ample…
  • CoX is extremely solo friendly if you choose the right archetype. A Scrapper or a Brute would be your best bet - I suggest browsing the City of Heroes forums to get a build that would be MOST effective for soloing. If you've played the game before…
