Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (read my ONLY MMO)

mc900 · 11-10-2006, 10:32 AM

played WoW for 2 years and finally gave it up after doing all there was to do in the game. it's funny because most of the people in my guild who i'd consider friends outside the game, all feel the same way I did in that the game wasn't even fun. We basically all got sucked into end-game raiding and it became job-like, playing only because we liked hangin' out with other people we had met on the game.

Scheduling your life around a game is not such a good thing unless you're making money. I recently sold my account, and when i figured out how much per hour I had made for my time, it came out to a little less than a quarter.

Online multiplayer FPSes such as Counter-Strike don't exactly count as a MMO. They are multiplayer, yes, however they do not classify as massive since they're limited (in comparison) to the number of players.

Diablo 2 is also not technically considered a MMO because, while it does have a large playerbase and a level of persistence, it is highly instanced in the maximum number of players that unfortunately do not exist in a persistent active world.

Then you ask... what about Guild Wars?

I'm trying not to mince words too much on this, as some may call on the wording especially with companies these days blurring the definition with their games, however the general model of a MMO is that not only is the world and its characters persistent and active, but the game involves a large number of players simultaneously playing with each other in that world.

I can tell you though that CS is definitely not a MMO.

WoW just because I'm hooked and Eve Online which i would play more if i had a credit card.

UO pre-ren.

'nuff said.

tomcatlx · 11-20-2006, 05:36 PM

It really comes down to what you have started playing, how well developed your character is, and your proficiency with the game.

I enjoyed runescape but it was getting tiresome.

I loved SpaceCowboyOnline but I didn't want to grind anymore.

Rappelz was also a grinding game.

Rakion is probably the only game I play now. I am one of the more recognized USA Blacksmiths skillwise in the game and the fact that it is action instead of repetitive monster killing is appealing.

Counterstrike was fun when I briefly had it but oh well, Rakion is the closest I can get to CS.

DIABLO2 !!!!! omg im back in hack and slash mode its just so addicting

Sallana · 12-07-2006, 08:44 AM

WoW is a good one, but I also like FFX, Everquest, Guild Wars, and Lineage.

And yes, D2 is quite pwn :p

Peter2170 · 01-08-2007, 06:54 AM

Dark Age of Camelot in its prime was by far the best MMO ever in my opinion. Its dieing now sadly.

Feldan · 01-12-2007, 08:02 PM

I only play 1 game...Lineage 2. Last 2 years only have played that :)

My Favourite MMO is actually an MMORPG and is the only MMORPG I've really gotten into, it's called Runescape and im sure some people here play it as it is quite a big game

Chrisman · 03-04-2007, 07:21 AM

my Favourite MMO would have to be Lineage II C5, I have a level 78 on Teon server.

ebackhus · 03-07-2007, 09:41 AM

I'm playing WoW now. Level 30 priest on Blackhand.

Cathy3072 · 06-07-2007, 11:22 AM

Guild Wars...i play over on the American server though

I also play Runescape alot too on members side, it's a pretty cool game even though most of you would probably say otherwise

demeter_aurion · 07-23-2007, 10:15 PM

I love Guild Wars even though I've only been playing a couple weeks. I dont' really like the 20lvl cap but I can see why it is there. Its really fun but you have to adjust and learn. Its the only MMO i've played besides RYL. And it is dumb to keep paying for a game you have already paid for. I hate Runescape.

SirReidrick · 07-25-2007, 12:36 PM

I haven't played it for awhile, but with my recent return, I've found that I have an FFXI addiction. I haven't tried any of the other MMOs out there because it's hard enough to sustain a decent life with just one of these addictions. With college starting soon, another MMO would be the death of my education.

ebackhus · 07-26-2007, 09:31 AM

I was pretty into FFXI during the beta due to the large group of friends I had. Afterwards we drifted apart and the game became a chore since you can't EXP by yourself after lvl 10 or so. I still have an active account that I never play... My room mate will sometimes log on with it to support his own characters on his account. I've pretty much stopped playing Guild Wars once I reached lvl 20 and bought Nightfall.

Runescape is just terrible. (Remember, that's just my opinion)

Rakion just doesn't seem to have a point.

Knight Online needs to be more polished.

Silk Road needs to be completely recoded and optimized.

Traska · 07-30-2007, 07:03 AM

Have to give it to City of Heroes.

There's nothing cooler than flying/leaping/running around a city in a spandex costume.

Knightc3 · 08-18-2007, 10:25 AM

DotA (Defense of the Ancients - Custom map for Warcraft3). I am amazed nobody has mentioned it yet. Of is it becuase it doesnt qualify as a MMO?
