Whats your favorite MMO?

ebackhus · 06-12-2006, 12:14 PM

Hard call between FFXI and Guild Wars...

GarnetCompy · 06-26-2006, 08:24 PM

Gonna Have to say Guild Wars.

Really in-depth, for being a one time cost MMO.

BTW, Ebackhus-Shout out from Driar Blackhand (Currently at Beacons, Lv. 12)

my input on MMO's is its a complete joke, despite i cant stay away from WOW and prolly gonna play Vanguard, i think its a waste of time and alot of grief to play these games, and I often find myself around alot of stupidity in them when it comes to P2P interaction.

Guild Wars (Read: My ONLY MMO)

Oedipa · 07-08-2006, 09:40 PM

I currently lack the time for an mmorpg, so I'm not playing anything right now. I also find that I have really unconvential opinions when it comes to MMOs. So many of them to me seem to be slash, slash, kill, repeat. So, that being said...

I have a lot of love in my heart for A Tale in the Desert, a tiny little game that doesn't get a lot of press (or huge amounts of players, for that matter). But it's the single most original game out there, the player base it has is incredible, and I like to think of it as the thinking person's MMO (for people who like to think while they're playing, that is).

I did the beta for Face of Mankind, and although I haven't checked in since then, it seemed to have a lot of promise and a good amount of originality.

I also had a brief but intense flirtation with EVE, but wound up getting bored with it eventually.

Annnoura · 07-23-2006, 07:46 PM

I still play Ultima Online even though the graphics aren't great... okay, so maybe they aren't good either. But i love my character and have some long time friends there, so im happy with it :) I want to join Guild Wars, but im not very sure yet. The only thing that i don't like about Ultima Online is that i am a social player, so if i have no one to play with and nothing to do, sometimes i just go to a dungeon and collect money-- Which gets rather boring, rather quickly. :/

ebackhus · 07-24-2006, 02:04 PM

Join a large guild and ypu'll get your social needs fulfilled.

Bullet_is_Swordstrike · 07-24-2006, 02:08 PM

I dunno about that.

most people in a MMO is the ones i wouldnt wanna meet otherwise i prolly kill em.

supersheep · 07-25-2006, 07:25 AM

EVE Online, becauseI love that whole Elite-style thing, with the spaceships and the trading and the piracy. OK, it'd be nice if it were a bit less like a MMORPG and more like X2, but we can't have everything (I'd say it means less overhead and thus less bandwidth).

imported_jag · 07-26-2006, 02:05 AM

World of Warcraft. Been playing it for a while now, don't mind paying for the real servers. Only thing is, that there should be some player-GMs, not the ones paid to because they'll know what the players want.

red_devil52 · 07-27-2006, 07:28 AM

I love Guild Wars to bits. I have about 3 level 20s on it :)

imported_kmk · 09-30-2006, 10:01 AM

I'd have to go with Ultima Online. That game was awesome.

etali · 10-01-2006, 04:24 AM

I can't believe what they're doing to Star Wars Galaxies these days - they're taking all the bad parts of World of Warcraft and adding them to 'improve' the game. It was close to being my favourite MMO - tied with Dark Ages of Camelot and Eve Online, but now they've ruined it. The expertise is just Talents, but since you can't learn other skills through choice its just a very limited way of letting everyone chose to be the same, and then they have put in a stupid 'PVP related XP decays over time after rank 7'.... grrr...

imported_Jamie · 10-04-2006, 01:01 PM

Mine is Ragnarok Online & Lineage 2 C5

forcifer · 11-08-2006, 10:17 AM

rakion/rappelz

ebackhus · 11-08-2006, 11:47 AM

I gave Rakion a spin, but it didn't quite fit my liking. It also ran awkward on my laptop...

I also have a trial account for WoW but fail to find what people see in it.

**K-B** · 11-08-2006, 02:59 PM

Anyone ever played Insterstellar War Fleet battles? I got addicted and had to quit

**Cellus** · 11-08-2006, 06:55 PM

At the moment it's World of Warcraft (what did you expect?) and will probably stay that way once the Burning Crusade expansion comes out, at least for a while anyways.

I still have very fond memories of Ultima Online and Ultima Online: The Second Age (should be an indicator as to how long I've played MMOs for). Well all right not all of them are fond - giving away my Superior Crossbow of Vanquishing was painful. I also had good times with Anarchy Online, however I admit I'm rather biased for that game.

Anyone ever play Starpeace (aka: Legacy Online)? I was addicted to that game to no end, that is until Sega killed it.
