Best: Istaria (Horizons) I've never experienced a community as friendly and helpful. The community there was stellar. Just wish I enjoyed the game more.
Worst: WoW (at least back in the early days when I first experienced it) After having play…

And this is why our guild in Rift especially but also in GW2 were less social than any other games we played together. Everyone wa…
You summed up my opinion pretty spot on, although I thought the graphics were okay and wouldn't have had an issue with them if I found the game remotely fun. Yeah and the invisible mobs too.
The faces and hair are extremely important to me. If I'm not happy with my character's appearance I can't enjoy the game, no matter how great the rest is. And oddly it's been some more recent mmo's than older ones that have had what I consider som…
Nice article, Adam. You've expressed much of how I've felt while playing mmo's that have transitioned.
"It feels like although the world is more populated than before, the trade-off has been inheriting a particularly enthusiastic advertising comp…

They are designed better later on. In a few cases you may go to an area twice in the Dunland region, but it's not typical. And by the time you get to Rohan I honestly don't remember being sent back to the same place ever. And Rohan quests were mo…
For my personal tastes,

For me personally it was:
- I hated my character's appearance. No matter what I tried, I just really disliked all the female faces and options
- I didn't like the skill wheel/combat system
- I kept hearing, in order to move on to this zone you'l…
LotRO - Been back for a year and still enjoying myself
STO - Hadn't played since release and wanted to see what was new since then. A lot of additions and I'm still trying to learn it all, but otherwise having fun.
I was 38 at the time. A friend I had met in Active Worlds said my husband and I should try this game out she'd been playing.
My first experiences: I first started a Barbarian, fell off the raft transport and couldn't figure out how to swim, so dr…
Originally posted by Celcius People love spreading doom and gloom about this game when barely any information has actually been revealed. There has been no indication that factions are "locked" and that you cannot play your character in other factio…
If our guild is locked to one faction then yeah we likely won't be establishing here. Back when DAOC launched it wasn't such a huge issue as you didn't have all these pre-existing guilds that had been playing together for years. I played DAOC onc…
Definitely is my favorite PvE mmo at the moment. They've made some good changes over the years, and that combined with finally having a pc that can run it well, brought me back to playing last year. I love the huge open landscapes, the slower leve…
I had played at launch for three months and came back a couple years later enjoying it a great deal more with the changes they had made. I didn't like it at all at release. But after returning, I continued to play for over four years. But the Eo…
I loved that video! Having been in Alpha and Beta, I've been on the fence as to whether I want to try the re-release but boy this video was motivating to give it a go again.
