  • The Star Trek Online featured episode "What Lies Beneath" debuted as a Hallowe'en episode, and it's still one of the cleverer, creepier MMORPG Hallowe'en events I've had the pleasure of playing. "Bonnie-kin. My Bonnie-kin ..."
  • As I understand it (and, of course, I could be wrong), Tornquist actually had very little to do with the Age of Conan project. He's the guy behind the Anarchy Online MMORPG (a great game in its day, although it has aged poorly) and the offline Dream…
  • Originally posted by tmr819 I, too, would have voted for Fallen Earth -- only it's not on the list. The rest, well, meh. The only MMOs in development that interest me -- STO, SWTOR, and GW2 -- won't be out in 2009, unfortunately.   Last I h…
  • My most anticipated game of 2009 is Star Trek Online (due year-end 2009) and it's not on your list, so no vote from me!
  • Originally posted by Aramanu Ah LOTRO music, was once a good, skillful concept. Until they added the ABC thing... then after that you had all these skilless ninnies playing sweet child o mine and the benny hill theme tune, what a load of bollocks…
  • Personally, I'm more excited about Cryptic's Star Trek: Online, but there's no question here: the official confirmation that Bioware is making Star Wars: The Old Republic is the MMORPG story of the year.
  • This sounds very interesting, and I'll definitely keep m y eye on CoS. I wish you guys well, and hope that you find the development time, money, and staff that you require. I have no negative comments at this early stage -- it would only make me…
  • Interesting. Thanks for the article. I must agree with other posters; LOTRO has become my fantasy MMORPG of choice, and I've tried basically everything since the original EverQuest. For me, anyway, LOTRO strikes a good balance between action and…
  • Originally posted by Greatness Would be nice to see no safe zones whether being RvR or FFA especially because controls will be twitched based. In the earliest days of Jumpgate Classic, there were no safe zones, and it didn't work. Certain play…
  • LOTRO continues to surprise me with just how much I enjoy it. While a lot of the design decisions are so subtle, you might not notice them at first, over time you start to realize just how much care and thought has gone into the design of the gamepl…
  •   Originally posted by baff Sometimes when you log in, there are only arseholes online and you still want to play.  Sometimes it is 3 o clock in the morning and there are no people to play with. sometimes I am simply not in the mood to piss a…
  •   Originally posted by Finwolven   Umm, not to sound too elitist or negative or anything, but why play a Massively Multiplayer game if you don't want to play with other people? This has puzzled me for a long time.   Then again, if you've foun…
  • Originally posted by Rekindle I play eve off and on but mainly off. Just when I think i'm starting to like the game again I do something stupid (read : I accept responsibility for my stupidity) - and get myself killed at a bad time /place that r…
  • thepatriot sums things up quite well -- I've played both WoW and LOTRO at length, and LOTRO is the game I kept. As he says, I find LOTRO more story-driven, and there seems to be a real effort by the devs to give players a "sense of place", which is …
  • Originally posted by TheFonzV2.0 I'm pretty sure I looked at this game with PvP in its intention, I mean I've played Freelancer and a couple of the Wing Commander games (which this game somewhat resembles)  so I know what I'm going to be heading …
  •   Originally posted by Kyleran   You are overlooking one major game that might satisfy your need for more exploration and other PVE content vs PVP, and that is Stargate Worlds.  Supposedly targeted for release this year, (which I don't believe…
  •   Originally posted by sa1yaman Isn't it too early to spread "bad news"  ? Also,  "but it isn't going to be pushing the boundaries of space SF gaming"  -so only PvE can push boundaries?     It's only "bad news" in the sense that the origin…
  • The original Jumpgate was the first MMO I ever played -- and everything I've seen so far indicates that JGE will simply be JG with much-improved graphics and some gameplay tweaks. What this means is, you'll get a game that is mostly PvP, with a pl…
  • Originally posted by MR-Bubbles Originally posted by listlurker Worst community I ever experienced for idiocy would be WoW -- but that's sort of to be expected, because so many genuine children play it. Worst community for hostility? EVE Online…
  • I'm surprised to see MapleStory mentioned as often as it has been. I've never played it, but I never would've suspected -- especially given the style of game it seems to be. I suppose any game that's free to play will have a larger proportion of m…
