MMORPG's

The apex of internet crack. Many people (like myself) are easily addicted.
So, if anyone actually plays them around here, maybe we can get some nerd speak happenin' up in this beast.

My current fix is called 12sky2.
Here's a couple of screenies of my character GreysGhost.

Is that one of those free MMOs that are based on micro-transactions?

I play World of Warcraft. I'm not really much of a hardcore player though.

[King Biscuit]

Micro-transactions?
As in the game is free, but there are cash features?
If so then yes.
I used to play WoW, but I'm not down for paying for a game. Unless I REALLY want to.
Some of the highest ranked players don't pay a dime.
I however LOVE cash items. In the 7 months I've been playing, I think I've only dropped around $50. People pay a whole lot more for their WoW subscriptions.

Then again, there are people on our server who are well know for spending FAR too much.
We are talking in the thousands of Euro.

i dont like fantasy mmorpgs i like sci fi

[King Biscuit]

I have yet to find a good sci-fi one that's free.
I played Eve and thought it was super sweet.

(note: the one I am currently on, TS2, is more action-adventure, considering there is little to no magic)

I used to play WoW but i got tired of paying for it so i'm sticking with Guild wars now lol

I have played so many MMORPG's, its ridiculous.

I started with Asheron's Call... then Asheron's Call 2(which died to my dismay).

Then I tried DAoC which I thought I would like, but didn't. Then Star Wars Galaxies, till I read George Lucas's interview that he made it almost impossible to become a jedi knight.. then I quit cause it got old and a year later Lucas Arts buckles and makes it easy as shit to become a jedi... I feel bad for those people that actually earned it. Then I tried Evercrack 2, and although it was pretty it was just stale.

I tried a bunch of others as well, AO, NeoCron(?), L2Fly, FF MMO, Lineage 2, D&D beta and finally I ended my MMO run with..

WoW.. which I played for about a year I got up to lvl 58 and one day I just never logged back in.

The best MMORPG ever, has to be Asheron's Call hands down. The simple fact you could customize your guy which ever way you wanted was fucking awesome.

I will tell you this though, the most fun I had playing a game for a long time, clanning, guilds, irc, awesome solid community, has to be Team Fortress Classic for Half Life. TFC owns my <3.

As for SciFi, I don't generally play MMOs but I WILL be playing "The Old Republic", it looks completely sick. You should all check out the site and relevant videos.

I play WoW although not hardcore. I have a lvl 53 Orc Hunter that I play mostly, however, I have a 68 NE warrior that I have had for about 5-6 years. No I haven't kept my account active all that time.

What is this micro-transaction thing King Biscuit? What server do you play on?

My main is a level 43 Orc Hunter on The Scryers. I'm trying to level him up, so I can roll a DK on Wildhammer. That's the server where most of my friends play.

[Lord Tyr]

yea i had a lvl 27 warrior but gave up on it after it took me that freakin long to get that high, i'm very impatiant... plus i didn't feel like paying that much every month lol....

[Captain A Venturina]

they change the xp for lower levels now. It is much faster to lvl because they want you to get the expansions.

[Lord Tyr]

man they do that stuff after i quit... figures lol

so i def had no life for the first part of yesterday and play guild for 10 hours..... straight with a friend lol

What is this micro-transaction thing King Biscuit? What server do you play on?

Client software is free, and there are no subscription fees. There is however a cash item mall; Vanity gears, exp boost potions, lottery boxes, inventory expansion, etc.

The server I play on is Equinox. There are a couple Asian servers out there as well.

I have to agree with that, Plus the fact that it wasn't faction based enabled some awesome player based politics. I've been hoping another game like that comes out. I thought Darkfall would be it, but that game flopped hard, but people have been saying good things about Mortal Online. Has anyone had the chance to try that beta?

[Lord Tyr]

So warning to everyone else its generaly not advisable to buy in game gold with real world money.... They ban you and take the gold away... sometimes i really hate mods

[King Biscuit]

lol
Sounds like someone has been scammed before,,,

[Lord Tyr]

well i got the 200000 gold for three dollars which is a ton in guild wars, but got banned and they pretty much told me to got fuck myself lol

[m3g4tr0n]

I've purchased gold in WoW before. I'm a really casual player, so I can't grind enough to make the cash. I don't see a problem with spending $6 or $7 for 1,000 gold. It's a risk, but I'm willing to take it.

[Lord Tyr]

yea im the same way, but the game claims it hurts them in someway it never really made sense to me how.... what was even more stupid was they took the gold away could have at least let me keep it and gave me a slap on the wrist, i would have never done it again buy now im finding diffirent ways to do it lmao
