I have been a gamer for as long as I can remember. I was on the original beta team for EQ and have played many of the P2P and free MMO that have been available. I am a crafter, I look for good crafting and merchanting games.

I love MMO's, the story, the life all around you...but there does come a point where it's the same story (with a different name), over and over. I do appreciate choices and while I no longer play games like Heroes of the Storm anymore (too boring fo…

I will be playing both. I like the realism and the old school feel of ESO but I also enjoy the more playful feel of Wildstar. Will see which one holds my attention for more than a month. To me, that's the key. I really wish they had brought up the c…

I love both crafting and housing. In fact, I won't play a game if it does not have crafting. Housing is great, but not a requirement. I am happy with a nice sized bank. However, not all games should have crafting and housing. Games should be built…

I did not hear about this game until today, sadly there is no real information on their website. They do have forums, but no details on that game at all on classes, or game play. Did I miss something on their site? I am a huge crafting fan, so if it…

I love the Sims, but I am not fond of EA. They have spent years swallowing up some of the industries best games and then dumping them in some abyss for storage, never to see the light of day again. Countless Sim "style" games have been ruined by the…

Full-loot PvP took this game right off my radar. The rest looks like it would be quite fun, especially the crafting. Sadly, I won't be checking it out, but I do wish you luck with your game. We need more old school in gaming again.

Yes, too simple. People gripe about having to grind mobs back in the days of EQ and UO, but within that process they also got to know people, made new friends and actually enjoyed the process. It was NOT really a grind, it was a journey through a ga…

This game looks pretty good and I think a VIP pack might be in order It's created by the Runes of Magic folks, but all the rest is under Sony. Based on Sony's history, I would be suprised if it was a pay to win, but will have to see. I enjoyed Run…

While I truly appreciate a well designed auction house, I also appreciate player shops. The issue with the old version of FF was the LOCATION of those shops as well as the difficulty in finding what you needed. Crafting is a huge draw for some peo…

I could care less if the graphics are good or bad, as long as the gameplay is great. But, I won't play in a griefer filled game, period. So, this one is a no-go for me. Won't even visit to check it out. However, if someone does build a game like…

I played the previous one and to me, the interface broke the game. I truly hope they make it MUCH more PC friendly. Plus, their quest system was terrible and their player market...I can't even find the words for how awful that was. If they fix tho…

I am an older gamer as well and I loved UO style game play. My biggest question is...is it forced PVP? I don't mind dying and having to fight back to find my body and loot if killed by an NPC, I just don't like being ganked and the original version…

To me, ATITD (A Tale in the Desert) is an indie MMO (probably one of the first made). It's got a low population (around 2k players at it's peak) and it's done just fine with it's unique replayability. You see, they end the world and start over again…

While I do enjoy some facebook games, I find them to be pretty short-term. I want a game I can dig into and play for more than hours, but rather days. I don't want to be stopped by ENERGY requirements and all the little ask your friend requests that…

All I can say is...thank goodness. I am a PC player and when I played, the interface was beyond horrible. I was so sad to walk away from the game, but it was just not worth playing. I will most certainly re-look at the game when it comes out. I am…

First 10 levels decide if I want to try the next 10 levels. I think that's rinse and repeat all the way through to end game. Most games are great for the first 10-20 levels. These have been completely and thorougly beta-tested. It's the levels after…

I believe open beta is on the first and the actual launch is the 10th. But I am not certain on that.

1. ATITD (A tale in the desert) 2. WURM 3. Vanguard 4. Istaria 5. Ryzom ATITD and WURM are very unique. ATITD has no fighting (other than political) and Wurm is an amazing game with a really difficult interface to use. But they should both…

This game is at the top of my watch list. I love the color palette/art and the general game concepts. I am one of those people that loves to play alone (or in a duo) in a world with thousands of players. So, I am hoping the balance between grouping…

I have been in countless beta's since my first, which was EQ. I can tell you on reason why beta testers do not do the job anymore. It comes right down to auto-responses to bug reports. In a recent beta I was involeved in, I had to report the same bu…
