    You should of waited a few for vista, now look at you. Stuck with GW or WoW.

    Give it time, eventually Vista will be better, i remember when XP was just in it's place.

    I wouldnt use vista until the first service pack comes out :O  its just way to buggy and nothing really works on vista sofar...

    If school was an MMORPG, then i would have spent alot more time there.

    The only MMOs that I've found don't work in Vista are shitty ones I don't want to play.

    Any MMO using MFC Applications will have issues in Vista.  So any poorly built MMO will have problems in Vista.

    WoW works great out of the box in Vista.  So does EQ2.  So does GW and Tabula Rasa and CoX.  Lord of the Rings Online works.  EVE works.  Ryzom works.  Anarchy Online works.

    I have Vista64 Ultimate, and all those games work on it.

    The biggest issues I have are Chinese and Korean F2P MMOs... like I said, if they're poorly built MMOs, they won't work in Vista.  It'll be obvious if the game is a MFC Application, by the way they do windowing and when you close it in Vista, it will remain open as a process and suck up memory causing other programs to do the same.

    Wow. I know Vista has its problems, but don't just out-right lie like that. Vista DOES have compatibility issues with a few games however, since its release a lot of companies have already put out patches that fixes any Vista-related problems.

    Free MMOs will take the longest to switch simply because they have no real reason to patch an update. How many people with top-of-the-line VIsta-enabled computers would play a F2P game? Most people who play those types of games are running on older equipment. . .

    I think a better question is, which mmo did you try to play that DIDNT work with vista? Unless you have 64bit everything made in the last few years should work.
