First time I've logged on in goodness knows when because I retired from MMOs. If there was a game that could drag me out of retirement, it would always be Classic EQ. Project 1999 is for all intents and purposes a legal Classic EQ server(s) (blue a…

Originally posted by Kyleran I went to the store back around 2002 to buy my first "MMORPG." I had finally gotten a cable modem and felt I was ready to join the online world. (although the idea of playing games with random strangers wasn't terrirbly…

There are a couple, that cannot be mentioned on this site. Google "Everquest Classic Server". The other option is EQMac - which, requires a Mac. There are threads discussing a Pc client, but those get squashed because it is an unofficial client. EQ…

Ok. I have to 'fess that I only clicked on the link because of all the comments regarding the girl. Hmmm .. not Asian-Pacific. Given my current predicament of typing this comment on my sofa on a Saturday afternoon, sat in my boxer-shorts (calm dow…

Thanks Cybertrucker. It would be good to meet up with a group of like-minded players, who want to explore content without being in an ungodly rush to 90th level. I plan to play Troubadour this time round, and hope that there are enough low-level p…

Returning to Norrath has been on my mind for quite some time. I left EQ1 in Sep 2002 without rancour and regret. Still hands down my best on-line gaming experience, bar none (on par with MUDs in mid-late 90s). I tried EQ2 in early 2007 but found t…

Tera is not on my radar to play, but I'd never say never. The graphics and character animations are super, super fluid. I didn't care much for Aion's art-style and over-sized weapons aside, from what I've seen of Tera, I'd lean towards Tera's. Tha…

From reading up and YouTube videos it looks like a graphically updated version of L2 in terms of PvP political machinations (clans / guilds - the meta-social contact / politics is of utmost importance). Twitch based combat - which IMO is appealing -…

... for Tia Ling. Corrected.

No MMOGs since Ryzom last year. Unfortunately, I have an issue with my Pc, which refuses to even POST. So will have to spend tomorrow diagnosing the problem, then fixing it. I plan to play Wurm Online - indie full-sandbox title (charges 5 Euro…

Once I've fixed my Pc issue and caught up with work assignments, I'll be playing. After GV, I'll head to Wild [PvP] - probably HoTS [Hoards of the Summoned]. The official forum is hopping with activity: http://www.wurmonline.com/ I did momentaril…

Thanks for the head's up on Wurm Online. I'm perusing the official site and reading the forums, and am liking what I am reading so far. Also, the premium subscription (trial available) is only 5 euros a month - what I would expect from an indie titl…

A very intriguing game from reading the threads - both positive and negative - and viewing a number of gameplay videos on YouTube (in-between the Ryoko Iori movie - don't ask, kids ). From what I have seen, it fits my idea of what a sandbox should a…

I owe you a beer for plugging a gap in my RPG gaming knowledge [Ultima VII]. I'm reading player reviews of a game that came out almost 20 years ago, and there are many aspects that are not realised in MMOGs today! A terrible indictment of MMOG gamin…

I guess in my dotage (in gaming terms), I prefer PvE to PvP now, having being a PvPer / Pker / ganker in my MUD days in the mid 90s, so I absolutely love variety. That said, even with my PvP hat on, I still prefer variety. Why? The spice of life. Al…

I was originally hyped to play SW:TOR - even to the extent of upgrading my Pc specifically to play. I did steel myself to the fact that beyond the cinematics, story-centric focus, VOs and companions, it would be cookie-cutter. No surprises as Biowar…

Nicely written post, Nebless. When AoC was originally released I was intrigued by the combat system but put off by what some stated as the linear game-play. Over the years, it would appear that AoC has transformed itself into a solid PvE title with …

Agreed. I think there have been a number of turning points, primarily: * different subscription models * different platforms I think first gen MMO gameplay (for good or ill) has passed us by. I feel it's going to be less…

FWIW, I absolutely love Fallout 3. I also love Baldur's Gate and still play both (it's ridiculous that despite the years, BG is still golden). So why don't I play old-school MMOs? They are not the same game by a long piece of chalk. Take BG - yes, i…

Interesting thread. As another poster stated, I believe a hybrid model of BTP [Buy To Play] plus cash-shop will be the F2P model. Have there been any AAA (or even indie - and I don't mean browser games) products that have been F2P straight of…
