If you had 30 days house rest and a time machine, what MMO would you play?

in The Pub at MMORPG.COM

This is a better version of the 'if you have 30 days to live what MMO would you play?' thread, because I don't think that there'd be anyone who would waste his precious 30 remaining days with playing an MMORPG.

 

So, the situation is, what if you're sick or recovering which leaves you unable to move much and leave the house, but you'd have access to a computer and, hey, whaddaya know, you also have a time machine image

 

What MMO would you play, under the restriction that you could go back to any year in the past but only 3 years in the future (the future is fickle)?

And if you chose an MMO from the future as 1st choice, what MMO from the past would you choose as 2nd choice and what year?

    Would the time machine cause a mild brain damage that would make me forget every MMO experiences so far, so I could feel that sensation of new-ness again?

    I suppose I would choose DaoC in its prime, whenever that was since I never played it. Just heard how amazing it was ;)

    OOh, much better refining of the original topic.  Let's see...

    1st choice, I would go into the future and play....ArcheAge

    2nd choice, I would go into the past and play FFXI from launch, which was 2003 I think, with the knowledge I have now.  Muahahah. 

    ...

    ...

    A thought occured to me...if you have a time machine than that 30 days is kind of pointless since I can leave and come back at the same time I left no matter how much time I spent away. ROFL.  Ah, I still love the idea though.

    It was, but apparently my request to reopen it was granted. I think the question and the answers are very different than in that other thread (most people will ofc say 'I won't be playing MMO's' if they only have 30 days left to live)

    DAoC.

    Vault-Tec analysts have concluded that the odds of worldwide nuclear armaggeddon this decade are 17,143,762... to 1.

    GW2 probably.

    But DAoC at its launch, or DAOC after 1-2 years, in 2003?

     A month after launch.

    Would check out Archeage also, and play three to four NWN PWs that have awesome DMs and RP communites.

  • lortegedlorteged Member Posts: 143

    DAOC... Or even Diablo 2, before expansion..

  • Asmiroth20Asmiroth20 Member Posts: 346

        I would go back to the first day of the CU in SWG.  Then on November 14,  2005, I would use the machine again to go to the time when TOR is released.  I can't think of a better use of time travel than that.

    FFXI at NA launch, no contest.

    This is easy.

    I would time travel back about 5 years and stop the raid that Leeroy and his guild were filming that movie in.

    I wonder how things would have happened if they was never made?

  • sudosudo Member UncommonPosts: 697

    I would go back into the future to play Star Wars the Old Republic

    And travel to past to play Ultima Online in the year 1999

    Day 2 of SWG Pre-CU

  • TruthXHurtsTruthXHurts Member UncommonPosts: 1,555

    I would go back to the 70's and stop Skynet once and for all.

    SWG. After going back with my timemachine to buy some shares in Blizzard and other profitable companies then go back to use my profit to buy SWG and LucasArts, hire devs and change SWG to my liking.

  • ComanComan Member UncommonPosts: 2,178

    I would go back and see what the fuss was about regarding SWG pre-cu

    For a serious answer, GW2, I'm pretty psyched about it.

    Now for the smart ass answers that I thought of:

    1.  If I had a time machine, I would just go forward in time 30 days and would no longer be on house arrest.

    2.  I would go to the distant future where there are MMORPGs that we can only dream of and then bring that technology home and sell it.  Making millions in dollars and paradoxical tears in the space time continuum.

    Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob?

  • spookydomspookydom Member UncommonPosts: 1,782

    Hmmmm........Ok, well I would def like to go back in time. Stop myself from getting a playstation 1 and then get a P.C instead. Then would like to get involved in some M.U.D's, then play Ultima online from launch day. Maybe be a part of the begining of A.O (Not the very begining, have read what hapened on launch day). Would also like to have had a go on the Matrix online as that's the one mmo I regret never having a chance to have had a go on. If I had any more holiday after that I would spend the rest in Tabula rasa...............Ohhhh! And I would kill Hitler......Or at the very least give him a wedgy.
