For all you MMORPG fans

Ok now that I FINALLY got the video to run it looks good and it makes some BOLD claims. I LEFT Everquest to play WoW, I left Wow to play FF14 and came back to WoW .....

I been through them all:

Everquest
Eve
Star Wars
Star Trek
Ultima
LoTR
Silk Road
Maple Story

and I keep coming back to Wow. It may not be "complicated" and it may not look "real" but thats kinda the point. Games are a way to GET AWAY from reality. I dunno, I suppose if they do a trial period I will try it. But may games have claimed to be "the game changer" and its never happened. None of them have the BILLIONS of dollars Blizz has to throw into Marketing, and Development.

You dont need UBER ELITE GRAPHICS to play wow. You dont have to learn 50 button combos to make shit work. You dont have this VAST VAST world where it takes 3 hours to get someplace. It doesnt take me 5 days of REAL time to learn a skill. Its simple, its easy, its social, its fun. Thats what I want out of a game, and every few weeks there is new content to explore. Nobody keeps up with that pace except blizzard.

I have tried sooooo hard to break the WoW bug, but no game compares. Either they lack fuction and LOOK amazing, or they Look mediocre and have TOO MUCH function. WoW strikes the balance no other company has been able to attain.
 
I mean dont get me wrong there are some cool things in the vid that avoid the "cookie cutter" shit. But come on you log out in apeaceful village and all the sudden come back and its full of angry mobs, thats a bit extreme. The Class / Race combos allowing you 4 "multi specs" seem like a good idea, but its really not. EVERYONE will have a Tank, Healer, Rogue, and Mage class cause those classes are the classic classes that EVERYONE needs when it comes to MMO's. It SOUNDS good but on paper it doesnt work.
 
WoW is the only MMO that is any fun to play IMO. Guild Wars 2 looks like it will be definitely worth getting too and looks to be daring to shake up all of the systems set in place by WoW, which is far from a bad thing! The first Guild Wars is one of my favourite online games ever to boot. Loved the art style before they did all those expansions with the themes. It weirds me out going into a fantasy world with its own unique style and mood and then you get an expansion that rips straight from ancient china, fuck that.

But the new WoW expansion's shown that even a "kill 10 monsters" quest can be fun if you polish it and nail the setting and context.
Time to go finish ULDUM. >:}
 
fighting looks so gay, CLICK, CLICK, DIE, DIE, i hate this.
why can't they make a MMORPG with an active combat system, where you have to use your weapon in the right time, block, dodge etc.
MEH!
 
It's cos Action gamers and RPG gamers are from fundamentally different camps. Action gamers like to be in control of the action whereas the RPG gamers are a bit more number crunchy.

But I do totally agree, I would love an MMORPG with a similar combat system to say... Oblivion. As much as Oblivion mostly sucked (flame shield up...) the combat was pretty awesome
 
Heavily under-appreciated game, obviously i haven't played it for years since the servers are completely underpopulated
But I would seriously consider building an up to spec pc just to play the sequel (which I'm fairly sure IS under development!)

They did that in a game called TERA online, hasnt been released yet.

Ive played WoW on an off Since 2007. RIFT destroys it in every possible way. The gameplay, graphics, and class combos are amazing. The whole Rift part is super fun to play. Ive been playing the Beta since yesterday and it seems pretty solid.

+ Necromancers+Warlock owns.
 
In the Rift newsletter I received yesterday it included a 25 use VIP Beta Invite key if anyone is interested. First come first serve.

contrary to popular belief, WoW is like that

if you don't use the right abilities at the right time, you die.
this is especially true in PVP

pvp is actually really intense on WoW. Its really one of the only reasons to keep playing.

not to mention that WoW seems to be the only balanced MMORPG as far as pvp goes. which makes it fun and challenging.
