So...whats the next best thing I can get hyped about, play first month mouth frothing and rose colored glasses gleaming until waking up to harsh reality that the game is actually worse than games I have played in past but with lots of shiny things to distract me from the fact?

I canceled SWTOR.. or should I say I'm not renewing.. just took the first free month.

I'm back on APB since it's *the* most fun game out right now, especially multiplayer

This is the same thing I'm hearing from the guildies in RIFT.

I consider this $60 well saved.

Im still having fun in SWTOR. I do lots of things with my guild. I have a lvl 33 Scounrel and a 13 Jedi Shadow. The Jedi is way too serious. These games are such a subjective call-enjoy what you enjoy.

Bits of SWTOR are good and its are perplexingly awful. For a game they clearly set up to be Wow-With-Story they did a pretty bad job at the not-story bit.

Is SWTOR actually tanking, meaning significant population decline, or is it that just some of you are no longer interested in playing?

Went to see if there is any update on GW2's release date.

Saw this


When is Guild Wars 2 going to be released?

When it's finished.


Nice.

Once novelty of cinematics and voiceacting wears off, you'll notice how horribly cut&pasted the world is, how stupid those static nevermoving mobs are and how poorly the game runs compared to other games.

Here is one criticism with alts: After lvl 10 you have to stop and listen to quests you have already heard. This is a tremendouse time-waster.


I believe MMOS evolve. They start out all spraggony, with same mobs with just different colors and different names. Then patches start adding different content and building on the game foundation, which is what we are all experiencing in this launch. I remember when just launched games were unplayable mechanically. This launch was pretty seamless.

I think it is premature to opine on a game so quickly. Give it some time. Cabby , if you like the OTG and Rift , you will like SWTOR just as much or better. How about Flashpoints? How about space battles and your own ship? How about a crew to level up crafting. There is a lot done new and original, too. Give it some time. I will at least give this game 6 months myself.

There are lots of problems with TOR, but I am still having fun with it.

I don't like changing MMO's, I played DAoC for nearly 6 years, and LOTRO for a long time as well. But my last two WAR and RIFT have left sour tastes in my mouth. I am hoping Bio will get the bugs killed before they overwhelm me.

SWTOR is really only good because nothing else is out there. The main quests are not bad.

Side quests suck by the third time! The UI sucks. Crafting is totally worthless. Fully 90% of my deaths are caused by my pet screwing up. WTF do all toons have to have a pet? Loading times really suck. No account bank. PvP on a PvE server is a fail prior to 50. Ship missions are on a rail. That all leaves one wondering just WTF were their Devs thinking? Selling the original box is all I can come up with.

So, in the end it is an OK solo questing game built around class quests with a chat box. Onto that they tossed in a half dozen grouping quests per planet. I really wonder how the game population will be 3 months after release when everyone has run to 50 on a few toons.

I played EQ2 on and off for a couple of years back when.

I reckon it's pretty much like WoW (which I only played 3 months) with heavy emphasis on raiding. As I recall there is no PVP at all unless you roll PVP server specifically, which has a very special ruleset.

I plays and look quite old fashioned imo, almost like a graphical MUD.


So if that gets your juices flowing, enjoy.

peace

EQ2 was pretty good when I played it. One thing I noticed about eq2 compared to other mmo's was the community. My eq2 guild reminded me of the old days in daoc. Everyone was really polite and helpful.

No idea if the game is still that way.

I'm waiting on the World of Darkness MMo,being done by CCP the same people who do EVE.It looks like they are trying to make it a political mmo,not sure how thats going to work.

Can't recommend it yet as they have not released enough about it yet,but it has potential and they definitely aren't rushing the project. (2years past the hopeful release)

The group quests tend to be snoozefests.

The flashpoints are actually not bad, though, if you can get over the fact that you fight the same droid and human trash in every one.
