What mmorpg do you not play online?

I loved FF XI during the beta (which lasted like 4 glorious months), but I never felt like paying a fee on top of my annual Xbox Live fee. It's been a long time and I still get an urge to play it on a regular basis, though.

[themnax]

if i had broadband i'd be on second life. i downloaded the client and tried it, by with my dial up it just wasn't possible, so i'm not on any kind of mmo with graphix. maybe someday if and when i do get broadband of somekind, but for now, i'm just on nation states as cameroi, which is just all text and not real time either, which is how i'm able to be on even there.

=^^=

[beingsofanatic]

Second Life

Second Life is not a game, but a place for people to hang out and BUY ... buy, buy, buy ...

Wanna loose lots of cash? Even with a free Second Life account, you end up spending lots of RL cash to convert to SL cash to buy stuff with. Lots of programmers on there selling their wares that come in the guise of clothing, body parts (yes, real SL body parts for that real-life appearance to your ... ahem ... naked SL self), space ships, teleporters, stargates, weapons, robots ... and the list just goes on and on and on ...

You can make a game out of SL, but the whole SL in itself is not a game. There are lots of places to hang out depending what you are "Search"-ing for, buddhist temples, theatres, European shops, Caribbean beaches, nude beaches, etc ...

Took me a while to learn how to change clothes, once I learned how to take them off, putting them back on was a not that easy ... I just didn't know how. Walked around with nothing on and heard a kid's voice on my computer in SL say, "Look, there's a man in his underwear..." so I took off up in the air as far as I could go until I learned how to put my clothes back on ... ended up searching for an "Orientation Center" to learn the basics of RL.

Some places give stuff, samples, away for free in the hopes you will come back to buy their wares ...

Sometimes I go back there, but just to visit some of the old temples to see if anything new has been done to them ... NOT ... Seems at one time someone was really into building their temples, but lost interest.

Some of the places built in SL are off limits, as you can't enter without permission from the one who built the area. Lots of houses, lots of really plush houses, lots of businesses, and LOTS-O-STUFF to sell, and buy ...

SL can put you in the poor house if you're a buy-a-holic ... literally ... in Real Life.

Final Fantasy XI

Played FFXI once for about three years, before I became an ordained monk. Quit playing because I became ordained. While it was a fascinating game it was superemo-slomo. Before you can ride a Chocobo, you had to run everywhere, and the worlds are very large. My home was the Carbuncle server, and unless you were good at "LFG"s (Looking For Groups) or had a friend, leveling was difficult but not impossible. FFXI was not intended for solo game-play. There was a solo class, Beastmaster, but to unlock that job, you had to hit 30 then do a quest. But still, one had to get past Lv 20 to be an effective solo Beastmaster, and then you had to be very careful which subjob you used with it ... seen a lost of BST/WHM (Beastmaster/White Mage) ... and even fewer BST/BLM, BST/WAR, and rarely seen a BST/BLU (Blue Mage was the newest job class before I quit, which was also a good solo class job).

Outside that the game was not meant for solo playing. It was meant for team playing.

Before I quit the game I had all job classes (ALL of them, except Puppetmaster) in the game up to Lv 30, and took a PLD (Paladin) up to 55 ... that was it.

I tried to go back in the game, but it just bored me sensless and have not been back in since ...

Far as I'm concerned ... I would have to rate FFXI ... B-O-R-E-I-N-G beyond belief. Too many RMT's have really messed up the trade system there (RMT=Real Money Transfers). What was 1000 Gil when I first started playing the game was over 1 million Gil when I left ... puhleeees ...

However, what may be boring for me may just right up someone else's alley. There are people who love boring games.

City of Heroes / City of Villains

Played City of Heroes/City of Villains also. Still have two accounts in that MMO. Both accounts have five Lv 50's, but because the same-ole-same-ole keeps happening day-in-day-out, it too gets "meh" quick.

You are a super-powered hero, or villain, who goes around rescuing kidnapped victims, stopping bank robbers, fighting mobs on the street. In the case of a villain, you kidnap people, rob banks and become the mob on the street.

Theres several PvP (Player-versus-Player) zones, and several zones where hero and villain fight side-by-side (Rikti War Zone, and the newest Issue Chimerora). When new issues come out, I always go in the games to see what the hoopla is about then just remembered what it was that bored me about the game and leave it alone till a newer Issue hits the market. Then I'll go through the same, "Oh, yeah, that's why I stopped playing ... yawn!!!"

There a lots of missions to play in the game and it is designed for both the team player and solo palyer. In CoH/CoV players characters (PC's) are called "toons". You create a toon, and if you got both games, you choose which type you want to play, Hero or Villain, select the Archetype, and the Class, then select your primary and secondary powers. With each level you alternate between slots for the powers or new powers. At level 42 you unlock a new epic powerset (choice of five) type suited for your particular Archetype.

Issue 10 introduced crafting where people can actually craft Enhancements for their particular power, or Invention Origin (IO) Enhancements that activate power sets when you use a combination of similar IO's. Crafting is an optional thing. You don't have to engage in the Trade market, where you buy the necessary Inventions and salvage to craft the invention. That too is being corrupted by RMT. Last I saw one rare salvage that sells for 5,000 influence to an NPC, sold for 100 million Influence at Wentworth. 100,000,000 ... that's simply outrageous to spend for one piece of salvage ... makes me want to puke ... not really. But because RMT is so prevelant in the MMO world, people who engage in it spends up to thousands of dollars for game money then cause the markets to skyrocket in the game making the markets a non-viable system for obtaining state-of-the-art gear or enhancements.

CoH/CoV does not use special clothing or weapons like other MMOs which have enchantments and increase your Hitpoints, Manapoints, Defense, Attacks, etc. They use Enhancements on the powers, which is why a power is slotted, and you're limited in the slots you get before reaching Lv 50, so you really have to choose wisely which power you want to slot, and which Enhancement you slot it with.

Unlike RMT's, I always farmed for my Influence in CoH (not a big fan of CoV, not the villain type), and for one of my Lv 50's farmed over 400 million Influence to slot it with all the best IO's available mostly aimed at defense. Farming can becoming a major bore also, because its the same thing over and over and over and over. You select a particular map and you keep it open by not completing it. Most farms have an object you need to find, however, you leave the object alone and the map will never end, so you apprehend all the mobs on the map, leave the object alone, exit once done and reset the map. Some maps have more expensive drops. I didn't care about selling them at Wentworth, I just went straight to an NPC and sold him everything once all my inventory slots were full, ran back and continued the farming.

By the way. This MMO has Super Speed, Super Jump, and Flying. Ran into a lot of walls with SS.

Farming can also be a pain, specially when you got lower leveled toons constantly sending you tells to join your farm. For them it's a Power-level, for you its more mobs.

Mobs in a mission are created according to the number of players on a team (even a solo player) and all the enhancements from each player are factored into how the mobs appear ... super powers or weak as snot. Plus you can choose one of five difficulty levels, the highest produce mobs that can wipe you off the face of the game map if you're a "squishy" (non-melee class such as blasters, defenders, etc.)

Most lately I just enter the games when new Issues are available (which are free by the way), or when I have nothing to do around here at night before bed. I'll take my Healer in and follow new players around, either solo-player or teams, and keep them alive (PL'ing ... I know), but I got a soft spot for newbies plus I get to talk to a lot of them about Buddhism, and I don't fight at all, just keep toons alive.

There's SuperGroups in these two games, but in order to enter a Supergroup, you have to purchase both games, or a special gamepack that includes both on one CD. There's an advantage to this because you get some nifty epic powers that other players don't get like Powerslide and a teleporter to Pocket-D (a nightclub where both villains and heroes can go to dance and mingle). Some supergroups are hard to get into because they are very popular and have built up a butt-load of prestige. Prestige is how a Supergroup buys stuff to build and put in the base, like teleporters. A well-built SG will have teleporters to EVERY zone in the MMO, and if they don't then they are part of an SG coalition where one of the SG's in the coalition has all the teleporters.

There's holiday-specific events also, probably just like every MMO on the market.

If your into MMO's this may be one you would like to try the Trial Account on. Unfortunately Trial Accounts, because of RMT's, are limited what they can do now ... can't become a SG member, can't trade Influence (CoH money) or Infamy (CoV money) with anyone, and can't get past level 10 (I think its 10).

MMORPG.org has a list of some interesting MMORPG's on the market. Thought Startrek-online was going somewhere at one point, but it seemed to fizzle. Now there's Stargate Worlds which is due out this year ... might be interesting ...
____________________

And, you're thinking ... I thought a Monk was not allowed to play games ... That's true, but those games are mostly the ones where you actually do something physical that would cause you to become attached to your own physical appearance, or over indulgence. MMO's could classify as over indulgence if one were inclined to over indulgence. In which case, then yes, I would not be allowed to enter an MMO. Over indulgence is motivated by greed. If I quit working, quit sleeping, quit eating, stopped doing things around the temple, became unavailable quite frequently, or just totally disappeared for no appearent reason, then I would have to say that was over-indulgence. In which case the Abbott would ask me what was going on.

[Tai]

Yup, Im a Final Fantasy XI player! If anybody is on the Fairy server then look me up!

[kinesis]

im on fairy server on ffxi also. lol

[sethm13]

I don't really play many MMORPG's anymore. The addiction has began to wear off. I first got hooked on them from Silkroad Online, but the game get's extremely repetitive after a while. After that, I went to a World Of Warcraft 14 day trial thing, and got hooked on that, but after my trial ran out, I could no longer play cause I'm to cheap to buy a subscription. So, I switched to private servers and played on them for quite a while, and found them to be a lot of fun. Eventually though, I just got bored, and got rehooked on forums. And that's where I'm at now.

[Tai]

Oooh Kinesis what's your name!! Hehe it's gotten pretty boring for me lately! No idea where I need to go now =D

[mudpuddle]

World of Warcraft

Sunfox

Al'akir Europe Realm

[BlazingDervish]

I was a big mmorpger for some time. Now it's just all the same. The same and boring. EQ2 is the only game that can occasionally pull me back in and that is more because of the RP community than the game.

Still waiting for Spore...

[wonderyears]

I've played FF11 and WoW but have stopped within the past year.

[GeTcHaThIzZfAcE]

I play guild wars occasionally. but i recently started playing on the WoWscape private server. its pretty sick if you can get past the daily server crashes and frequent lag. b

[polecat]

Pretty much bailed on mmo's. Too much anime to watch ;). Eve and Guild wars were good back in the day.

[Dazed & Confused]

World Of Warcraft and Age of Conan

[Subliminal89]

AoC looks awesome how would you rate it?

[Peaceful River]

Just play Runescape. Man. It's a lot easier than everything like WoW

[Crowes]

I cant seem to stick at an MMO for more than a month. However the ones I've had the best time with would be WoW and Knight Online. Anyway now woot for Team Fortress 2!

[Punjon]

I play Wurm Online, with my sister.

Fun game, though it's hard to get started.

[fudge]

I'm currently playing Fiesta, you can get the game at fiesta.outspark.com

Thinking about trying out some new MMO's too.

[BornFree]

[Feelings Of U4ia]

Gunbound, FlyFF, Maple Story (Private Servers)

That's about it.

[Hendrix_Hippie]

I used to play MMORPGs like wow but then I realized how much games like that steal your soul and take away your life. No Offence to anyone who plays :).

[Americunt]

I just started playing a game called Perfect World International.

[HempMama]

WoW...though I don't quite get addicted to it. I play every few days. I've had a character (Ameliah) for months now and I'm only a level 32 ( I think) lol.

[Meifeng488]

Guild Wars

[kimballthegreat]

I haven't played in a long while but I started on Legends of Kesmai, then moved to Ultima Online.

[darrellkitchen]

Guild Wars

Name?

[PsyGrunge]

got a few friends addicted to world of warcraft and, more recently, city of heroes - but im a die hard counter strike source person myself.

[Deranged]

i just started WoW as a tauren hunter. the game's a bit slow and nobody talks like in the diablo games. i'm level 8. wootah!

[xSOADxX075]

I used to play World of Warcraft, but it became too time consuming, and the quests got very repetitive. I quit at a 62 Troll Shaman.
Yeah I know trolls are lame, wish I would have rolled Orc, and played as a Hunter.

I played on Zul'Jin by the way.

[The Mushroom Man]

Only mmo's I ever played were Star Wars Galaxies (lotsa fun, imo) and... runescape. I know, its shameful, but everyone played runescape in 7th grade. At least everyone I know. I'm retired from MMOs now though.

The Mushroom Man

[enigma-the-one]

yeah i'm also ashamed...
i played runescape but luckly only for few months before i realized what a total crap that game is...
uncle of my best friend has 30+ years and played that game 2 years after we all quit and guy actually enjoyed it...

i mean wtf u can't play runescape, there are so many things wrong about it (don't even remember any good one...)
go play WOW, it's 100000000x better and if u can't afford it go on fake servers but for god's sake don't ever play Runescape or God NO, DON'T PAY FOR IT!!!:eek::ack2::leaving::puke:

[Crowes]

I used to play alot of MMO's like WoW, Runescape, Maple Story. But I've kinda grown out of them now and find them too repetitive and boring.

[prana]

I was really into Lord of the Rings online for a while, and actually managed to finish chapter 1 with a level 16 guardian that I think is still in their databases somewhere.

[Keepblazin420]

i use to play runescape now i play WoW

[marblegallery]

world of warcraft for life

idk.. i usually only play maybe an hour or two a day
