  • /sarcasmon Oh God, I know! I hate it when MMO developers decide to keep their game thriving by introducing new content, it's complete BS! I want the same old crap day in and day out FOREVA! /sarcasmoff Anyways... Well the WoW community at large i…
  • FFXI was my first MMORPG, and all-in-all it was a great experience. I met some truly great people through it and had a blast playing it. I was feeling nostalgic (for like...the 300th time) and decided to pop back into it again. Soem of the updates I…
  • I ownt say much about the technical details, as my computer savvy tends to involve hitting it with a blunt object and muttering obscenities until it works right. While the expansions (Rise o fhte Zilart, Chains of Promathia, Treasures of Aht Urgha…
  • lol, I have to agree the official forums...well, yeah... But, aside from that, I have to say HJ has got my interest piqued. And this coming from someone who was completley jaded on MMO's after the brain-eating, soul-killing fest that is WoW. One t…
  • Originally posted by Elnator Originally posted by holythough Lotr same story as Star Trek with the added bonus many Lotr fans are also RPG fans i think Lotr will be HUGE If that were true then every LOTR RPG title would have been huge.  None wer…
  • With some of the titles, it's still too early to tell honestly. But with some, they're far enough along tha tyou can at least get a feel for what may be in store. Burning Crusade - Of course it will sell well, despite the obvious and glaring flaws …
  • Originally posted by Smirch Oh dude, I don't know why anyone would wish FFXI on you but it is a horrific game. The character design is painfully bland, everyone wears the same armor at the same levels, the grind is horrendous, combat system is tedi…
  • lol, good to hear, FFXI is always lookign for new, good players. And don't worry, you'll find that there are more than a few people who play FFXI who seem to develop stupidity based migraines As for lore, perhaps one of the best sites for that is …
  • Originally posted by nthnaoun I'm interested in FFXI now that we are talking about it, so I went to the FFXI forums on this website to read some reviews and some of the threads. I hear a lot of people complain about having to wait forever, sometime…
  • I think that's where some of the dev's are getting in to trouble. They see that Formula X works for Game Y, so they're like "oh, we'll do that too!" It's true that every game out there has borrowed from someone elses cookie jar, but you always get …
  • Hrmmm, well it's a sticky situation to say the least. I'm by no means an MMO Sage, but from my experience you might want to try Final Fantasy XI. FFXI is a very group oritented game. You're likely solo for the first 10 levels or so (say 10-12 as …
  • Originally posted by apocalance Besides, who was Peter Jackson before LoTR? Who is he now? This could be just as good for Turbine. Hey, The Frighteners was kinda good....kinda.
  • Originally posted by shae TBH when I first heard that Turbine was taking over the long winded project of Middle Earth Online I was pretty happy. The project had been handed over from one Dev Team to another for so long I was just greatful that it f…
  • Originally posted by xas_ yea i agree with you thier, even Dark Age of Camelot had instanced "frontier" pvp areas. the thing i hate most is when you say PvP, you get all these people immediately thinking omg no i dont want elves ganking hobbits all…
  • Originally posted by Bafucin The LoTR hype is over. Bad luck. Too slow. Move along! 0/10 But besides the poor troll attempt, I will at least give LotRO a try, I hate Turbine with a vengeance, but because it's Middle-Earth, I'm willing to give …
  • I've no real issue with PvP, as long as it's not FFA. Ganking is a pathetic way to boost your ego. But I do enjoy Voluntary PvP content from time to time, it breaks up the tedium of grinding/questing/crafting/etc. Concepts like WoW's Battle Grounds…
  • I have incredible respect for Tolkien's works, however, Turbine, a company which needs a dictionary to understand the term originality is the last company that should be given control of this product. As a matter of fact, there's some 4-year olds ne…
  • I think for me, as with many others, it's the idea of getting to play in the world of Middle-Earth, with it's incredibly rich lore and the pure potential of how great a game this could be...well could have been, the one thing that is keeping me from…
  • Always take advantage of the numerous Free Trial periods a lot of MMO's offer, it's a great way to see if it's something you actually feel like parting with money for. DDO however...well..yeah, in my opinion, pay somebody $15 a month to play with t…
  • I think it would be interesting and maybe alittle fun if there was a bit of twitch gameplay involved, but I'm nto going to hold anything against it if there isn't.  Mmmm, the odds are that comign from an Asian dev, there probably will be a bit, if n…
