I know that there are folks on here who play/use Second Life. I haven't tried it myself, but I have played City of Heroes, City of Villains, and World of Warcraft. I was just curious if anyone ...

I was just curious if anyone else here had played any Massive Multiplayer Online stuff other than Second Life, and if so, what they thought of it? I'm particularly curious what reactions to City of Heroes/Villains might be around here, since it's the only superhero-themed MMO around right now.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=907&Focus=20605#Comment_20605 2008-02-08T11:33:27-08:00 2013-06-20T06:32:05-07:00 Flabyo http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1306

I've been 'clean' since I quit World of Warcraft last year, but I have to say Warhammer Online has me interested...

In general I have fun while I am playing, but eventually the games themselves either don't have enough content, or the content at the end of the climb gets repetitive and very dull, so I quit playing. Then when another MMO i am interested in comes out, like Warhammer, I give it a try for a while.

I guess for me the biggest issue with the entire MMO framework is that the content is usually very easy to get through, then it becomes a numbers game, a numbers game that can change at anytime as the creators realize they screwed up the code or class such and such is over powered; the dynamic created by this mentality is one of an ever spiraling search for the latest overpowered class to play so you can be "Uber" or "Leet" and that kind of game play tends to bore me.

All the games I have played have issues, but in the end the one I guess I am most tempted to go back to is Eve. I felt like that game was a very close near miss as far as set up and how the system runs... Sadly still a miss.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=907&Focus=20625#Comment_20625 2008-02-08T12:11:14-08:00 2013-06-20T06:32:05-07:00 Egon http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=698

I started with Everquest, moved on to Anarchy Online, then jumped to Star Wars Galaxies. I agree with Necros assessment. They're fun when you start and they feel fresh and new, but after a while it ...

Star Wars Galaxies had the best system when it first came out, but it was to complex for the ADD generation. Everyone wanted a WoW system, what they got was better, but they just weren't smart enough to realize it. It was a sandbox system with no set leveling and no defined class. Building your character was kind of like going to college. No career path had the exact same path to graduation, but many of the character classes needed some of the same skill sets. There was also no limitation to your character. If you wanted a bounty hunter/smuggler/droid builder, then you could do it. If you mastered one class with your character, you didn't have make a new character to begin a new career. Again it was a lot like college, you could hold multiple degrees of expertise. In the end it all changed. People complained and they went to the shoot it - kill it - level model, and it sucked.

What made it even worse was the fact that they rolled out the new system without making parts of the old system compatible. People were running around and all asking the same questions. You would constantly here, "why can't I use this anymore?" or "I lost my whatever". Needless to say people got pissed and they lost a huge chunk of their customer base, and have never been able to recover it.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=907&Focus=20636#Comment_20636 2008-02-08T13:07:31-08:00 2013-06-20T06:32:05-07:00 peteloaf http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1669

Oh and I really enjoyed character creation and concept for City of Villans; sadly the game itself just wasn't really there to go with it.

Still play some COD4 for stress relief and I didn't really get anywhere with Second Life. Maybe I'll give that another go.

I was once entirely too hooked on WoW, and I'm also an alt-whore RPer who gets a character inspiration like a batshit crazy prophet and simply has to go make one, but once I filled up a couple ...

However, I have since become completely immersed in Lord of the Rings Online. Everyone should seriously go check it out - it sticks with the lore, immerses you in the setting entirely (especially on the unofficial RP server Landroval), PLUS it's only $10/month or $200 for an entire lifetime subscription. The graphics range available caters from everything between el cheapo Dello laptops all the way up to those ridiculously priced gaming systems that require the power of a nearby nuclear reactor to run properly. Excellent solo-content AND party quests as well as PvPing. Even gives you the opportunity once you reach level 10 to jump in as a level 50 'Monster' (Uruk, orc, warg, spider, craziness). Even a seven day free trial.

I've always wanted to try out City of Heroes/Villians, too, but never really had the chance. Heard it's mostly party-centric though, which I don't have much time to do.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=907&Focus=29209#Comment_29209 2008-03-10T18:29:11-07:00 2013-06-20T06:32:05-07:00 Lemurian http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2731

When I first got WoW I thought it was too much fun. (It was the first MMO I had played.) But every time i get a character in their late 20's I realize that the gameplay isn't fun. The only fun part ...

I stopped playing for like a year and then found a real life friend who had a copy, so we logged on again. We would hardly ever hang out in real life, and when we did all we would talk about is WoW. A few weeks later we both made the same realization: THE GAMEPLAY ISN'T FUN. It's just mindless mouse clicking.

The only way I seem to have fun gaming these days is when it's a fighting game or FPS with my buddies playing along next to me. Should have never bought that damned 360, especially because HD-DVD went the way of Betamax.]]>
