I started playing rpgs in the early 80''s when I was a wee lad. I''ve seen Wasteland, Ultima, Pools of Radiance, and so on. I actually bought a new computer so I could play Ultima Online and I did the same thing for EQ. I love MMOs and games in general. Sid Mier is still the God of gaming (check out Civ to see why).

  • Since my post got a few less than polite responses, I felt I'd follow up on what's happened. I was finally able to talk to a manager who agreed with me that I should be able to have the 30 days since I was spending the same amount for the same produ…
  • A few disclaimers should be made about their $9.99 deal. First if you check it out, it's only $9.99 if you pay for 3 months in advance. Also you can purchace an account through the online store for $9.99 and get "Mines of Moria" plus 30 days free, w…
  • Originally posted by Ilvaldyr The argument could be made that playing MMO's together would be a viable bonding exercise with ones children; but I'd much rather take 'em fishing or for a game of tennis. I'm not sure exactly why, but the thought o…
  • Apparently this is a taboo subject for this site, however "the 40 Year Old child predator reason #43" is appropriate... go figure.
  • Actually this a forum for topics relating to MMOs. I think this is on topic. If however you disagree, then feel free to report it.
  • I wouldn't subscribe if I were you. I came back after leaving a month after release. It runs a little better, but it's still the same game with the same problems. You have some hardcore fanbois that support the game, but overall nothing really has c…

  • Originally posted by Fadedbomb This is NOT the place for that kind of discussion.   It has to do with MMOs? I'm wondering how General Discussion isn't an appropriate place to discuss this topic. Also my previous comment seems out of conte…
  • Hey guys, you obviously don't take this seriously. Two things I'm wondering... A) Why the hell do you have so many pictures of young boys?  Don't you have anything better to do than troll a serious topic? Go over to another thread and quit being ass…
  • I think Dark Age of Camelot had the best. The scout was phenomenal for PvP and the Hunter rocked PvE... I think in most regards, these classes set the standards of all the other classes to come along. Ranger in EQ really was a hybrid class, not an e…
  • I haven't played the game, but it looked fun to me. If anything is keeping me away, it's the fact that alot of people from Shadowbane are migrating over. I'm not looking for Shadowbane 3D, I'm looking for something more. From what I understand it's …
  • I've seen alot of things discussed on this thread and most of it is essentially arguing about privacy issues. Well there's a reason you don't allow your 13 year old son to lock his door when he has a girlfriend over and there's a reason you check on…
  • I appreciate the comments made so far, but I still don't think anyone has proven to me that MMOs are more addictive than television... I mean have you heard about American Idol or Dancing with the Stars? I think what people are looking for is someth…
  • Heh... I appreciate your recommendation, but since I've probably been playing computer games since before you were born, I think I'll stick with them. If you know what C64 stands for, you'll know what model my first computer was. As far as MMOs, I s…
  • I'm currently playing a Swordmaster and honestly, they do rock. I would point out that, as in most games, defense doesn't seem to do that much in RvR situations, so unless you got a 1-hander that does more than your 2-hander, go 2-hander. The nice t…
  • No they do delete characters, don't know how long it takes, but at the 7 year mark I came back and all my characters were gone. I bought a tamer for $25 and played that for about a week, til I died, went back to get my dragon and found he wasn't tam…
  • I understand what you're saying guys, but the number of people that actually do the things you've mentioned are probably less than one in 100,000, you most likely have a better chance of getting cancer, than you do becoming so absorbed with MMOs tha…
  • Just to let you know, I did finally get the game going after someone told me I could skip the patch by filechecking. I played for about a week and a half before I left. The main reason, the game is still too BUGGY. I can't play the game at low setti…
  • Rather than start a new thread, I thought it might be nice to revisit our opinions of Electronic Arts, several months after the release of Warhammer. Right now the game has been out less than a year, do you think Electronic Arts was responsible for …
  • I guess my point is that it's just being construed as an addiction because people can't understand why someone would want to play these games. I don't play that much and the time I do spend is dependant on how much I enjoy the game. Right now I'm pl…
  • I'm getting frustrated as well. I started an Engineer on Ostemark (the Roleplaying server) and in the last three night, I've only been able to find nine people for RvR on the Order side. We did well and it was fun, but eventually the "horde" of chao…
