  • Yeah, when I think of "grind" I think of Everquest circa 1999, when there was basically no other way to level except for killing mobs...over and over and over again ad infinitum. I imagine things have changed in EQ these days, but boy, in the beginn…
  • LOL! Man, I feel like an idiot I didn't realize Obsidian Stronghold was a friendly city. I assumed it was a high-level quest area, so I never even went there. My backpack was full to bursting by the time I hit that camp on the west side of the ma…
  • The most misused and abused word in MMOG history is "lag." Nothing else even comes close.
  • Originally posted by sandolainen Originally posted by jnewl Awesome. Hadn't even heard of this game until now, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it! (Please, God, let it run in Linux...)   I think starting a topic on their forums is…
  • Awesome. Hadn't even heard of this game until now, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it! (Please, God, let it run in Linux...)
  • Ah. Thanks very much. I run Linux and just got LotRO installed and patched up, but the Linux launcher was telling me it couldn't get the server status so I didn't know for sure what was going on. That's my long story Thanks again!
  • Alright, guys. I went and bought the game sight unseen, so you'd better not be pulling my chain! OTOH, I can't really go wrong for fifteen bucks. And it's not really sight unseen. I played for a few days a couple of  years ago, so I'm not a compl…
  • I  haven't read through the entire thread here. I just thought I'd throw in my .02 as one of those players who's played every MMOG under the sun, but has never bothered with E2. Why? Because of the name. If I want to play Everquest, I'll play the or…
  • Originally posted by metalhead980 I'll be honest,all the magic users in ryzom pissed me off. It made me feel like casters were unbalanced that's why all the older players prefered that style. I play 2h melee. I just hope by the time i get to 250 …
  • It was advertised pretty heavily when it was first released, but I think the graphical style and the  unconventional mythos threw off a good many people. I know it did me. I thought it looked too cartoony and, well, cheap, so I never really gave it …
  • Oo, oo, Mr. Kottah, Mr. Kottah: is the problem that it sends you to find people without giving you any idea where they are? I ran into that with one of the quests and I think it's that one.
  • But IMHO the thing that ruins games the most is the impatient immature players who whine and complain about everything.  They won't even leave you alone to let you enjoy something.  Because its their civic duty to make everyone elses life is as mise…
  • I've been playing for a whopping three days now and so far I haven't run into a single jerk, nor have I noticed anything bad going on in chat. There's no foul or "leet" language being used, either, which I find refreshing.  But that may have to d…
  • I've only been playing for two days now, but so far I'm in love with this game. I love everything about it. Well, there are a couple of minor interface niggles, but overall... I played SoR either during beta or after it first launched (can't remem…
  • Originally posted by twhint The question is, what the hell have they been doing the past week since OB ended? They're just now getting around to testing equipment to make sure things go smoothly? See? These are the kinds of assumptions I just…
  • Trust me, anyone who was around for the Anarchy Online launch will gladly wait three hours or more if that's what it takes to get it done right. All this idiotic whining you hear now is literally nothing compared to what you're going to hear if this…
  • Well, in the first place, Ultima Online was only released ten years ago next month, so unless you're talking about MUDs you're a liar when you say you've been playing MMOGs for 15 years. Moreover, it's doubtful you're including MUDs since your langu…
  • I totally disagree. LOTRO has the longest legs of any game currently out there. That its strengths--its storyline, for example, which has a looooong time available to it to play out--don't appeal to you doesn't mean that there's something wrong with…
  • Yep. I've been watching the official message boards and MxO has had one of the lowest whiner-to-enthusiast ratios of any MMOG I've seen (which is surprising given the number of killer bugs still present). Yeah, there were people prancing around comp…
