Experienced tank, tank officer, and raid guild leader from EQ1, slowed down a bit now that my son is 5 and gets most of my free time. I have also played DAoC, SWG, Shadowbane, and Eve, but preferred EQ until I found Saga of Ryzom, the "low-stress, don't ever have to LFG, fun to play with your significant other, everyone is nice, never met a jerk in-game" game.

Well, I would rather play something more brutish and less willowy or cute, but that'snot too big a deal to me. Sounds like you didn't play very long past the jump to the mainland. Too bad, it gets a lot more interesting. I *do* agree that more v…

1) Rudeness 2) PvP ambushes from people way more powerful than me 3) Beggers 4) Being trained 5) Duel invites without any introduction or greeting 6) Guild invites without any introduction or greeting 7) Group invites without any introdu…

Thanks for all of the replies! I expected WoW to be suggested because of its popularity, but I was glad to see sound reasoning behind each recommendation. We'll check into AC2 and EQ2 as well. I'm afraid Eve is out, since my wife wants to develop…

Good stuff! I got: Achiever 80% Killer 53% Socializer 40% Explorer 26% Cheers, Hanky

I'm looking forward to this one, if just because I enjoyed the books, the comics, and the first movie so much. Hope they do it up right. As for it not being a "real" MMORPG, I got the impression you would play a single player portion with branchi…

I thought I had better actually reply to the thread topic: Two remembrances from EQ: 1) My first Hate raid, tanking the mobs as the monk pulled them into the packed group of 40+ players in the entrance alcove. The cheesy graphics and difficulty …

Glad to hear you see the virtual as so different from reality, Dekoth. I still don't see how killing a bunch of folks you don't know online would be fun, but you are correct that the long-term consequences of doing so are almost nil because the dam…

Hmm... Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices in a crowded public area, at peak traffic hour. No specific person or group targeted, with the objective of as much slaughter as possible. Do you live in Fallujah or Mosul? I didn't know you coul…

Always nice to hear what the SoR devs are up to. Good stuff. Now where do I get one of those ray guns?! Cheers, Hanky

Well, I knew we would see something like this sooner or later. I just expected it to be done better. While it looks pretty pathetic to me, it isn't my place to tell someone else what kind of "game" they can play. I'm tempted to start a pool on h…

Forget the gamepad' there is a much better choice out there for MMOs. Get a Nostromo Speedpad n52, made by Belkin. Nice handrest and many fully programmable buttons. I use it for all MMOs and a lot of my other PC games. Cheers, Hanky

Not that I really care one way or the other about people buying virtual items for RL cash, I wanted to inject an argument for the idea into the conversation. Let's hear what folks think: Joe Gamer works hard in RL to support his family and stresse…

I did the SoR trial and liked the game but was considering quitting due to the fact that it was basically a ghost town. I heard about the server merger right before my trial ran out, so I thought I would stay and give it a shot since I was enjoying…

This is realistic in that I thought it sucked almost as much as really being in Iraq did... Hanky

I play on the North American server, Windermeer. I'm looking forward to the merger for a few reasons: I want the game to survive. The lack of a North American player base made this server a money-losing division of their business. While we like to…

I have to cast my vote for Saga of Ryzom. It's a great, no-downtime game, perfect for soloing or duoing with your significant other that usually isn't too into games, and fun with groups or guilds as well. Like most of you I bet, I've done quite …
