I also would strongly recomend giving Project Gorgon a try. The graphics are not great, but the gameplay is , and if you like exploring a world, it might just be the ticket. It is free to play right now, as it is still in alpha, but it will eventu…

But that's what killed it for me, the …
Playing NWN1 online has been the closest to playing old school UO for me.The server populations are smaller sure, but the thing I';ve always liked about NWN PW servers ( and I'm sure the NWN2 ones as well) is because the communities are smaller you…
Rp in an mmo only really works in a sandbox, open world type of setting. But that doesn't mean it's impossible to find.
There are even some groups to be found in WoW, such as the Shadowclan Orcs, who always stay in character, run events,etc..

Originally posted by Lifey Actually, give me a persistent world with a toolset like NWN and let us make our own adventures within the framework/world... that might have possibilities. Make just a fantasy MMO set in and around NW? Bah, dime meet doz…
I don't think the OP got their facts straight at all.
For one, Atari was nowhere to be found at GenCon, nor were any pc or mmo folks, not this year . Not even Blizzard was there like in years past to show off their next expansion ( which I though…

Civ5 comes out 22-september, not 27-july

Oh yeah, I was thinking that myself. Games with Sid Meier''s name…
I don't necessarily agree that all these niche types of games need to get their own mmo, but what if future mmos incorporated these niche games or activities into their worlds?This has already been done to some extent in many games.
In Ultima Onl…
Yeah well, these guys never learn.They should have learned their lesson with the shitty Anarchy Online launch but didn't..2 horrible, screwed up launches in spite of the fact they had fairly extensive beta testing and a fairly vocal community of bet…
That's exactly it. UO felt like a world.
If my armor needed to be repaired, if our guild's main crafter wasn't around, I'd head into Brit and look for one of the guys from United Blacksmiths of Britania ( UBB ).They'd always be hanging about…
Well, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say in that original TOS and EULA there's probably some fine print somewhere that states they can change their terms/ agreement at their own discretion any time they feel like it. Banks,Insurance companies, pre…
To me it's just mind boggling that this guy can still be in the game business. Talk about failing upwards.I never realized that he also had a hand in that pos Hallgate London game as well. No wonder.
We should officially name Bill Roper the Uwe …
This was one of my favorite games back in the day, right after Ultima Online. Is a life/item/ archer still a viable build? Archers were always my favorite character to play.
Did Turbine change their stance on bots and proggies like decal?

I have to say reading these articles has me thinking of trying this game out.I'd pretty much given up on MMos after playing WoW and all it's clones, though I was keeping an eye on Jumpgate for awhile.
I wholeheartedly agree about UO, or at least a game similar to that. As you said, it's amazing that no one has tried to rip off the concepts of UO like they did EQ ( WoW and everything else, though EQ ripped off DIKUMud).
I think I know the …
You guys can split hairs on which was the "first" MMO all day ( I'd also throw Meridian 59 in as a consideration) , but UO was the first one that really had big numbers in terms of players, which came as a shock to not only the guys who made it, bu…
I do take exception to a comment someone else made a page or two back when they compared the older mmos to Space Invaders or Asteroids and said the games and gamers have evolved.I think you've got that part backwards.
The gameplay in current mm…
