Help me decide - what to play for 1 month

chamelean90chamelean90 Member Posts: 6

So looking forward to Darkfall,, but really confused what to play whilst I wait for 1 month...

My options are

(1) City of Heroes (havn't played since it was released, heard loads has changed since then, worth 1 month to check out the changes and just have some non-serious fun before the serious darkfall gaming begins)

(2) Vanguard - did a bit of this recently, and really enjoyed it to be honest.. a lot of depth and a hard game,, perhaps puts me in the right mindset for darkfall?

(3) Warhammer Online - only played for 2 months since launch, got bored on my own. A friend of mine has just got this and loves it, should i help him out for a month?

(4) LOTRO - i have a lifetime account, and really enjoy it... a cheap option for a month

I love em all,, but nothing has made me look forward to a new release as much as DF (ex UO and EQ1 player).

Help me obi-wan kenobi's,, your my only hope's...

    I say 4.

    Try free games like Perfect World International or something.

    Or try a 2 week trial of EQ2, or some other game.

    Thanks Sarayu, much appreciated... I played eQ2 loads for many years, will research the one you mentioned...

    Thanks again

    I don't think I would start any MMO knowing I would be stopping in 1 month.  Of course there is always a chance of bumping the release date, but I think I would go mess with another type of game all together.   Most of my guild has been playing CoD 5.

    Why another MMo?Why not a game that's not MMO?

    Plenty of those around and they'll keep you busy for a month or so

    Iiii-iiiiiit's.... me!!! *Hooray*

    if you have a free lifetime sub for lotro, i say go for that. game is pretty good for a linear game, great community, beautiful graphics, and limited, but fun pvp (for a month anyways)

    help your friend at WAR, these games are all more enjoyable with friends to play.

    Shadowbane. Its free, and you can max out a character in a couple of days

    (5) Perfect World - You can max out your credit card in a few days from the Zen. Maximize your gaming experience!

    Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!

    lol

    That game was a riot.

     

    To the OP, go with LOTRO, save your money since Darkfall will likely bomb and you'll have wasted 50 bucks.

    I personally didn't like LOTRO, it felt too much like a crappy version of WoW.

    It's honestly like everyone logs onto WoW, and games like WoW, just to masturbate. Everyone plays by themselves, and when they don't, they get what they want and get off.

    I second a Non-MMO since you don't want to get too deep into something just to quit it....though I'm of the opinion that Feb 25th will not see a DF release so yeah maybe Lotro for the time being.

    Also, I'd second CoD5

    Or, you could just take a break from computer games, shocking as that concept may be.

     

    That way, when DF launches(I am in the camp with the folks who think it will be long after 2/25/09) you will be really primed for some serious gaming!

    Get mount and blade off steam. Play mount and blade. Love mount and blade

    Go with Mount and Blade,  very good medieval combat ..but is singleplayer..

    Savage 2  ..very entertaining and fun for just to pass time ..free multiplayer game

    www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/31 Entropia Universe, you can test it free.

    It has pvp with no targeting and FF. It is skill based, so no leveling and all the mobs do the damage in approximative the same range. Its proly the closest thing to Darkfall gameplay, at least closest i know.

    However, be warned. It's a realcash and it's very disputed, since alot of players compare it with a online-casino. Just try to play it free without buying game currency, to get used to combat without autoattack and  autotargeting (its a pain in the arse especially for melee.. thats the main reason I suggest this game).

    Dude none of those.  Play Dawn of War 2 beta, Halo Wars demo if you have a 360, or mount and blade!

  • TsukieUTsukieU Member Posts: 559

    Honestly I'd go with Mount and Blade...it's style of combat is very similar to Darkfall, and it's fun!

     

    Not exactly a MMO...but they will support multiplayer games in a expansion coming this summer/fall.

    Mne eto nado kak zuby v zadnitse.
