online RPGs, books, rants, blah!?

I am disastisfied with the ORPGs
The either offer good on one element while negating all other elements of a RPG, or negate any good altogether.
Eh?
LoL
I feel the same about good books these days
Don't bother to recomend to me any books
I can't afford to buy any and have an outstanding debt at the library.

IMO the best online graphical RPG ever made is www.meridian59.com
It was the first made too so the graphical system is severely outdated, and the company has changed ownership several times so the MODs suck and can't keep the game at potential. I'd play it again right now for fun, though, but I don't have a credit card. Someone wanna buy me an account and I'll mail you 11$? Using western union is not a viable option as you must pay for a 3 month block plus ten dollar charge.

I am playing on a lineage2 rogue server but the game is borring for me so far.

Perhaps I am the one that sucks and it is not the games and books fault, but when I was younger I was much more easily entertained and things seemed far more vast and complex and mysterious than they sometimes do now.

AnyWay despite meridian59 being the oldest g-orpg I maintain that it has the best PvP ever(although slightly gimped ATM). Now there was a period of about one month not long after ultima online came out that was almost as good but it did not last. Companies are horrified of leaving open player combat in RPGs since it scares away the more timid customers.

 

If you are dissatisfied with ORPGs ...

Then make one.

Errr.. UO pwns.

 

what version of UO do you play?

I cant make an oRPG though Im not a computer programmer ive tryed learning it but it doesnt go with me
Im good with concepts and math
and mindlessly killing stuff in a virtual world for hours on end
but the programming end of it is not where im directing my life
lol
that's the truth

Haha the first one.

 

See ... that's the whole thing about whining.

If you can't do something better than someone else.

You shouldn't whine about how "bad" other people's work is.

Because they spend a lot of time learning how to create their world, and even more time actually creating, maintaining, and upgrading it.

So don't whine if you aren't willing to try.

=\

 

quit whining about my whining punk

 

a friend of mine was nice enough to loan me the necesities to play meridian59 again

aycarumba, but the nostalgia...

its the first graphical orpg ever made and it rules
theyve updated slightly the graphics so its nice but nothing close to whats out there now
but i love playing it lol

 

have you ever tryed playing runescape?
I know ppl say that they played runescape 1 but that was sorta crappy but now they have a new runescape (runescape 2) and its been out since march of 2000 and its way better with cool graphics and has several skills you cna raise like farming and woodcutting and fire making. or you can do combat and archery and magic.

Its a pretty cool game and its not that hard to learn. It seems boring in the first because you have to start on the stupid tutorial island but once you get going in the game its pretty hard to quite.

 

(thread drift for the computer forum, sorry, but you did mention books!)
Cheap or free books: check out the local thrift store, and also take a look at BookCrossing http://www.bookcrossing.com, you may be able to find some books you like that you can read for free... you are supposed to/encouraged to set them free again after you read them, but there's no time limit like at the library, no late fees and such

 

it did circa 1997/98

 

You guys should really try a online RPG game called Ashen Empres. It's a smaller game, like 100-200 people on average, so everyone is friends, kinda diablo graphics, you can pick non-pvp or pvp servers so it was good.

you might wonna chick er out.

And ya, runescape 2 is pretty cool if you get good.

 

herbuh..u should play lineage a bit more.. boring first few days but gets way more interestin fast on that server..

it is a huge community, ..probly like 5 thousand per server..
& u really havent gotten anywhere fun yet..

 

thanks for agreeing with me....and is the game you mentioned..is that a game you buy or can you play from your browser..?

 

No, it has a client but you don't need a good computer to play it. Free until you get a certain level so it's worth a try.

 

i still like meridian59
its a priceless antique
lineage2 is too hefty for my athlon 1100, which is too bad it looks pretty nice when I turn the gfx nice and high

 

i built a runescape character up to around 50 and completely lost interest
I really don't like level based PvP and for me half of the ORPG is PvPing at LEAST
