MMORPG's - 07-31-03

What's your favorite?

I started playing EverQest when it first came out... and didn't ever really like it much.. not even with all the expansions.. I stopped playing it and started playing Asheron's Call when it first came out.. well before actually, I was a beta1 tester for AC. I loved Beta AC.. it rocked.. it got sort of annoying when a lot of "d00dz" started to play the game, because of Microsoft's tolerance of crap like that in it's "Roleplaying" game. Even so.. there were still enough cool people and other gamers that made up for the "d00dz"..

Then Dark Age of Camelot hit the stores.. another great game.. DAoC blew EQ out of the water (in my opinion) so I played both AC and DAoC (still do)..

I tried out Asheron's Call 2.. while it does have some great graphics and some really cool stuff in it.. overall it just sucks.. I doubt this game will last over a year now.. unless they add a lot of stuff from the original game in, and change gameplay a good bit.. it's going off the plank to be lost forever in Davey Jones locker.

Everquest 2 is coming out soon.. and it looks like it will be good, it's different enough from the original EQ that it looks promising, but retaining a lot of the standard fantasy game races which is also good.

Shadowbane was somewhat amusing.. it had a few interesting things.. but overall I found it lacking and well.. graphically challenged.. it looked like they stole their graphics from Diablo 1..

Star Wars Galaxies was well.. very beautiful and well designed.. as far as graphics go.. but if you weren't killing something, killing something for a mission, or crafting something.. the game was unbelievably boring.. hopefully with their soon-to-be-released Space expansion.. they'll change this game to be better. Otherwise.. I think it's going to suffer the same fate as AC2..

Anarchy Online.. I played this game when it first was released.. Wayyyyyyyyyyyy bugged.. I've heard this game's gotten a lot better.. but for reason.. I doubt I'll ever play it again.. it just lacked something.. interest maybe..

Ultima Online was never that fun to me.. I mean.. how fun could it be to make a new character and have someone walk up and kill you and start jabbering "l33t" speak at you.. I was actually looking forward to the sequel to this that got cancelled over two years ago (the graphics were amazing, the gameplay looked awesome.. and some damn new guy took over the department and closed down the sequel in favor of new Ultima games that looked like they were 15 years out of date)

Middle earth online?.. I hope they don't fuck this one up like Sony did with SWG.. good luck Turbine!

City of Heroes sounds promising.. and I've seen some beta images and the graphics look sweet.. haven't heard much more about it though.. but looks like something I might play if they design it well.

Horizons looks like it will be one of the best MMORPG's out to date.. I've seen some beautiful artwork and game design from them so far and the options in this game are great.. hopefully it won't be disappointing.

Mythica (new Microsoft game based on Norse Mythology), Atriarch, Imperator, Eve Online. And too many more to name.

after the big story about a guy killing himself over everquest, a lot of people have thought of that game as dangerous. personally i like more action in my games, but if they ever made an Elderscrolls game into an MMORPG I'd certainly buy it

played everquest a fair bit till i got severally bored of the game. outside of that can't say i play any or plan on it


You can look at it as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of human life, or just chalk it up to my being a sick, bloodthirsty monster. Either way, it's all the same.

I was never too keen on the idea of paying $50 for a game then $20 a month to play. I play beta's when I can, but beyond that...well, I'm poor.

Actually EQ is 13$ a month to play unless you are in Europe where they started up a tax just for those who play online games.... hopefully the US does not follow in that path.... there is a new FPS/MMORPG on the market Crypt.... I forget the name.... something like New Realms or some such.... you might like that better.....
