        Your PC is fine. You have the right idea to wait for the new games. People will try to lie to you but the truth is that every game on the current list is dying and only the new ones offer any hope of fun for gamers. Even the releases happening *right now* are going wrong (hi roma victor! hows it going?).

    Games to wait for: Star Trek Online, Vanguard, Huxley, Lord of the rings online.

    If you need to waste some time I always recommend guild wars - $15-$20 up front and no monthly fee + an immense population of players in every town (200-300 in some and a town is a VERY small area).

    Normally I would just tell you to play gw but lately I'm feeling negative towards everything that does anything... my advice- stop playing MMOs until something comes out that you get really excited about, until then just entertain yourself with a console for a while...

    I am tempted to take advantage of the ps2 price drop when all the fools rush out for their £400 PS3s.

    Just think. Only the lucky fools will be spending the $600 US dollars on a PS3. Many will be spending THOUSANDS on one in classified ads across the world and at auctions like eBay right after they come out and all the retailers PS3 shelves are empty of the new consoles.

    he's got a 'buddy jesus' avatar... what's wrong with you?  that IS the coolest avatar.  especially because "people" have no idea who/what a buddy jesus is.

    could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?

    The Chonicles of Spellborn is another game coming out in the next few months. Looks like it has some very interesting points. You can try signing up for beta at www.tcos.com. Good luck to ya

    Games I'm watching that are in development:
    • Vanguard - some interest but it's level based, a grinder (they've already stated that) and pretty much a pure EQ clone.  I'm "interested" but not overly so.  Supposedly releasing later this year.
    • Hero's Journey (NOT HERO ONLINE):  Great deal of interest.... has a huge community already from their previous titles and the GM's have always strongly encouraged roleplaying.  Supposedly releasing in early 2007.
    • Infinity - Looks very impressive so far.  True 3D space odyssey type game in the playstyle of Elite/Frontier/Privateer.  Devs are hoping to release in mid-late 2007. 
    • Darkfall - Might..... MIGHT..... might become the next UO.... IF they pull it off.... a LOT of folks are watching this one.  Could be vaporware though... it's been in development quite a while.   Another one supposedly releasing in 2007 though they might manage late 2006 from what I'm hearing.
    • Age of Conan:  From the makers of AO.... could be a very very fun game.  This one is slated for 2007 as well.
    • Stargate Worlds:  VERY interested in this one but it probably won't see the light of day prior to 2008... it's still in very early development stages.  I think they're targetting 2008.
    • Warhammer Online:  From the makers of DAOC... could be VERY VERY Good but a lot of us are concerned about the recent EA takeover of Mythic and some rather sudden changes since then.  Supposedly coming out in 2007...
    • And Finally:  Inner Sphere Wars...  (For us BattleTech junkies)  This one isn't even an "indie" it's a bunch of BattleTech gamers from way back who are writing a game in their spare time.  So far it's pretty good but it's not close to releasing.  Might release LATE 2007... probably more like mid 2008 though.

    Yeah...
    Get to 60 and endgame or try a different class. Some are more fun than others :)

    Good computer specs. I like. Any ways. -- Yeah, wait, thats what i'm doing. I" quit wow recently also, it offers nothing to a more then casual gamer.  I've play swg, eq, gw, eve, ect.  But like a poster said above. Most of todays gen mmos are dying.

    - Wait for like Warhammer online, Age of Conan, Star Trek Online, Lord of the Rings Online, Huxley, ect.

    They look to be promising. Next gen mmo's hopefully will be innovative.

    eh, as i often say... Don't get your hopes up for the upcoming games...  The only one i have hopes for is WAR, but even then im rather pessimistic..tho from the gameplay videos ive seen it looks more promising/solid then some currently released games(im looking at you AA).

    But from what I've seen about others(especially what i've heard about vanguard...and especially from the videos ive seen(what its not eq2 only more boring? =P)  I just can't get my hopes up about them. 

    But on the LONG term scheme, i'm looking forward to exanimus, even tho it's still in pre development, and may not even make it to release... it's about zombies... and i'll play it even if its the worst game ever...

    If your looking for a game to play now, I'd honestly say CoV/EVE/GW would be your best bet for time consumption untill the next wave of mmos hit.

    Ok,

    since you have an uber hunter, that means your an experienced mmo player to some extent. So, help the guy :)

    I didnt say it was :P i said thats what i dont say.

    Anyways I found EQ2 quite similar and quite fun, so maybe try it but it might not be your taste. The gameplay is a bit stiff though and will take getting used to

    I am looking forward to any upcoming MMORPG. Maybe WAR, but I'm suspecting a WOW clone, which may not be too bad after all. Graphics don't appeal to me, however.


    Your machine should run Oblivion np. It should keep you entertained for quite some time.
  • JarlathJarlath Member Posts: 174
    Oblivion is boring, nobody to play with and no updated challenges, no gear to farm, nobody to compete with, small sense of achievement but hey just my thoughts

    Does suck not playing with anybody.

    But then again, Its like all the other good single player rpgs, ex.KOTOR.

    ------- Friends of mine play Oblivion religiously , and they've got characters that are pretty powerful.  Vampires, ect.

    I'm a former SWG player who left when NGE came out.  I was messing around with free trials for what seemed like every mmo on the market including WOW and nothing seemed right.
         I had played COH when it first came out and worked up to a 30 blaster before realizing at that time there wasn't that much to do, and that's actually when I went back to SWG, beside the point but just a little info on my type of mmo's so you can decide if its for you.
         I went back to COH around 4 months ago after purchasing a COV key online and adding it to my COH account.  Funny thing is I haven't really messed with the Villains side much, my best friend and I used our heros and the new ability to create a Super Group base to get our Guild that plays pretty much all the major MMO's besides COH at that time up and running.
        I have to say I've had more fun with heros now than I ever would have when I played at release.  Its not a item based game which some say removes from the depth but I disagree.  I carefully built my character and each addition you bring to your toon makes your hero a little more a vision of what you wanted out of a super hero not to mention the best create a player ever IMO.
         I just hit 50 yesterday during double xp weekend and though some say the end game is weak I have so much I am looking forward to doing with my hero, I have tons of missions I haven't done yet Arch villians to battle, giant monsters to tackle and one of the most balanced pvp mmo's out there. 
        I believe the balance in PVP comes from the lack of it being an item based game.  You don't have to fight gold farmers, spawn campers and all the other stuff that has turned me away from my characters in FFXI, Everquest one and two and Wow.  The really cool thing is that each update adds additional cool content and areas where as many companies make you buy the expansions to get access to new zones.  The best part about the new zones is each pvp zone has its own rules and objectives so each plays out dfiferently.  The nice thing is the pvp isn't just fun fun, you actually get cool stuff from winning pvp battles and completing objectives.  My best example of this is after winning a round in the 40 to 50 pvp area my team was all rewarded with a mech pet that you can bring out once and he fights for you for 30 mins, then the next time you complete objective in the area you can get another.
        Also when you hit 50 with a toon you gain access to two new classes all together that you develop in what seems like a different manner than the core classes.  They seem superior to other classes at first( and they are powerful) but they have a weakness like any super power hero does in comics, kinda like superman and kryphtanite the Peacebringers and Warshades must watch for enemies called the void walkers/seekers which can wipe them out in one or two hits, this keeps you on your toes and keeps balance from what I can tell.
        If you build a good Supergroup(I suggest bringing friends into the game with you) the base development is really cool and can be useful as well as bringing guild versus guild battles called base raids.
        I guess the reason I've had so much fun with it is the team combat, even in PVP team versus team's is so much fun.  The battles really do look like something out of a comic and the games graphics are some of the best.  One last point if pvp isn't your thing, pvp only takes place in certain zones and mutally agreed upon raids so no worry of that lvl 50 griefing eveyr lowbie just because he can.
