Do you actually play an MMORPG?

I started wondering about this, everyone seems to either have the story like:
"I played Such and Such for So and So years, but then I stopped. I tried this and that beta, and now I'm waiting for -blank-."

or they seem very happy with what they play. Eitherway there is a resounding amount of negativity, or people that don't seem to be playing anything, but have a very dissatisfactory opinion about everything.

So I figured I'd ask.
Do you actually play an MMORPG? I don't mean a beta, or a trial, but a game that you have started, or been with for a decent amount of time?

    nice little poll. If I didnt play a game, I dont think I'd really be on this site honestly. still play EQ, but will probably be getting rid of it bc its dieing::;^|::. Hoping Guild Wars will be just as fun as Everquest was once for me.

    I play CoH seriously.

     

    Even if my common sense say not to, I buy EQ2 just to try it...will prolly not play anymore then the free month.

    I am currently subscribed to Asheron's Call 2 and Everquest (just did it for one month while waiting for Ac2 patch)

    Been in WoW beta since June (unfortunately it doesn't have as good of quests as Asheron's Call 2) and I didn't want to take part in open beta.

     

    I will have subscriptions to both Ac2 and WoW once it is released.

    Currently testing WoW...

    Not sure yet if I want to buy it...seems like the same old class/level/no endgame grind, but a little more user friendly.

    More excited about Mourning, DnL, Darkfall

    Yeah, Everquest 2.  Bought it at launch, and if SOE can keep the game stable and not screw up, I'll stick to it for a long time.

    Before that I was playing Star Wars Galaxies for 1 year.  During that same time I tried City of Heroes for a month.  Before SWG I was playing Everquest 1 for about 3 months.

    And I own copies of Anarchy Online, Lineage II, Horizon and Dark Age of Camelot.  I had quit those games before my 30 days free trial had expired.  AO, Linage II and Horizon all sucked, and DaoC I would of kept playing if EQ2 wasn't as good as I thought it would be. :)

    I wish I can beta test these big mmos, however, my connection speed is too slow though.

    I've subscribed to 3 different mmorpgs (EQ1, DAoC, and ShadowBane), but I'm not playing any morpgs at the moment, and yes I sound just like the Critic

  • NaosNaos Member Posts: 379

    Games I am playing atm EVE-Online & EQ2 (I figure I'll give EQ2 a try even if it is bloody swords and spells).

  • panachepanache Member UncommonPosts: 397

     After a two year stint on Daoc i have tried SWG, AO,COH and now just quit EVE. None of these games have recreated the fun and the community i found in Daoc.

     I  guess like others i have tried to find a mmorpg to fill in the void while waiting for a game that does interest me ala WoW.

  • moonblademoonblade Member Posts: 7

    i played Asherons Call 2 for a few months. The community feeling there was nice, but the repetitive quests and lack of new areas at that time made me stop.

    at that time, ffxi just came out. I shipped it in from the USA (i live in holland) and started playing it about a year ago. And i still love it a lot!!
    there are many mmorpgs at the moment, and a few look very good, but i'll stick to ffxi for a while.

    If I didnt play a game, I dont think I'd really be on this site honestly

    The only reason why I'm on this site is because I'm not playing a game. Again, I'm waiting ten years or so for a good one to come out. Anyone want to start taking up bets? ;)

    EQ2, hated EQ 1, was playing SWG but kicked it to the curb.  EQ2 is great, but has its flaws and I am waiting for PotBS.

    Currently beta testing d.o. Online after spending a year on SWG. Been beta testing and doing trials while I decide what game to invest into.

  • AlastiAlasti Member UncommonPosts: 287

    Ok....If you have a Good computer (2.0mhz with 1gig ram+) go for EQ2....REALLY...it is the best mmorpg out there.  If you dont have that quality of a machine....and you like to solo, go for AC1 or Ultima Online...both are GREAT GAMES....even tho they are 5+years old, they are established and a ton of fun.  If you like to group, Everquest 1 is the one for you...the only problem is you have to spend many hours to get your toon to respectable levels in order to group with people. 

     

    Just my 2 cents

    And you don't need a high end card.  I play with an ATI 9200 pro 128MB and the graphics are beautiful on medium settings.

    Either both.. are good                    But your post is lame...

    Hes not asking what should people play (theres already more then enough post about that), hes asking if you play and what ...

    "if you dont play a mmorpg than why are you here "

    or something like that was written before.

    ..well iv never played one !

    When i left the gaming world , these type of games were in their begginings . And i started university , so i quit on gaming . Now i dont own a pc (is that possible nowadays??) so i cant play one .
    But im here because i plan on getting one , and so i read opinions from people like you , that share my same hobby .
    Thats the reason why i login here ..

    what im loking forwards too have

    eve online (because orcc vouched for that)

    Tabula rasa

    city of heroes (only when the addon comes out )

    if everquest has no pvp i dont want it , it has char customisation although...:(

    I played many, now I play shadowbane & well I think I will cancel my account. I have canceled 2 time already, & well I had freinds on team speak bring me back before. Now they are all doing EQ2, so I might as well join then, but no PvP I EQ2 :(, but well PvP is the only thing that I love about SB. Like a bad habit I should drop it.
