I actually get bored of playing MMORPGs and go back to playing singly-player games fairly easily. It's unfortunate that many companies are developing MMO games and forgetting about single-player games. The Might & Magic series (excluding 9) was …
I heard about this type of thing going on. My opinion: If people want to waste their money on things like in-game items or currency, let them. I wouldn't be dumb enough to do so, and would rather waste my money on products I can actually hold physic…

This universe has magic, and technology fighting side by side with a little matrix hacking in the mix. It would be one…
I wasn't aware that there was an online game called Motor City Online. Too bad I never had the chance to play it. So at least in part the concept was used at least once. Still, I want to know what you guys think of my first post.
I'm not a big fan of sci-fi, but it would be nice to have a Buck Rodgers-type of game (in 3D MMORPG style of course). Being able to fight ship-to-ship, explore planets, raise all sorts of skills are things that appeal to me very much (and a lot of M…
I couldn't have put it better myself. The last few postees hit the nail on the head. MMORPGs - like the world in general, you can argue - revolves around money. If the "general" public wants an easy-to-level, accomplish-something-in-an-hour fantasy/…
I don't mean to sound lame or anything, but I have a few questions for the person who began the thread:
1. Are you currently playing any MMORPGs?
2. Did you have a bad experience playing a MMORPG?
3. Do you play video games or stand-along PC g…
It all comes down to tradeoffs. Compromise. Nobody wants to give up something for another, i.e. better graphics for lesser gameplay. However, I agree with many postees on this thread that no MMORPG will have all the things you want. So, the next bes…

Perhaps the guilds could only be for certain levels. For example, a 10-20 Guild, a 20-30 Guild, and so forth. That way players could easily find others to group with and the guild wouldn't be overflo…

the most good require monthly fees indeed, but I'm only 15 years old, and I do not have enough money to spare to buy the game and after that pay a monthly fee . Or it has to be one very good game that I can keep play…

I think this would be a marvelous idea for casual players.
My only comment is that there needs to be a way to kick out "bad seeds" and disrupters. Without a physical person running the guild, this becomes hard to mana…

I'm bored and I'm thinking about buying EQ2. I played the FP trial and I liked it - nice graphics, sounds, very immersive, though I can't decide wether I should buy or not. I've never played EQ1.
1. Is there a lot of pl…

Do you know what the sad part about this is? That there WILL be EQ2 players who will actually take advantage of this service and order pizza!!! Even though it's kinda dumb, I have to give credit to SoE for having the testicles to pull something like…
Thank you all for your replies. Seems like my friend was correct, WoW seems like the best fit for me.
However, I don't think I may be able to run it on my laptop simply because my video hardware (ATI Radeon 320M IGP with UMA memory) does not seem …
I read enough of this thread to put in my two cents (first 5 pages or so of the thread).
1. Clearly establish criteria for failure.
Money is what makes the world move, so if a business is failing, it should be due to loosing money (net). If a co…
I have only played EQ1, EQ2 and FFXI long enough to form opinions on each. I won't form opinions on other games since I have not played them at all.
Having said that, here's my two cents on this thread:
A. It's true that everyone has their taste…
I'm posting this becuase I don't think my last post didn't work.
Several people have suggested this WoW game. I might consider it if my laptop meets its requirements.
My main concern is that my laptop has an ATI Radeon 320M IGP, which after a lo…
I just wanted to make a correction. I want to play an MMORPG on my laptop, and here are the specs:
HP Pavilion ze4300
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
512 megs DDR RAM
60 gig HD
ATI Radeon 320M IGP with shared memory (up to 128 megs)
