You can always have them mess with your "plumbing"

No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

I play because of the social experience, playing with friends, brothers and other people feels good. Tho many of todays games almost force you to go Solo.

I am still thinking which one has more fun to me, mmorpg or single game, seems to me mmmorpg getting less and less fun to play anymore. But it is still much cheaper than single games.

MMORPGs are the cheapest, long term entertainment there is. In the end though, MMORPGs give me the opportunity to be the hero in the story. I don't just read about it in books anymore, I get to "be in" the story. But I am also an avid role player. When I'm not working, spending time with my family,  or working on music with my band and rockin out, I'm a ranger with a shaded past trying to seek atonement, or a bladeist seeking "the one" Blademaster said to have never died that can teach me the ancient secret of bladeshifting (a manuver believed to be just a myth that empowers a blademaster with the ability to move so fast, that they appear to move "through" thier advisaries leaving an entire regiment slain in just a matter of seconds).

God gave me an imagination for a reason. Role playing give me the opportunity to use it (besides writing music).

A tiny mind is a tidy mind...

Mmos, the games life-time is much longer than a single player for a small price of 15$...

They have people, when i play single player games it gets way to lonely without some kind of chat system and seeing others, even in FPS, that is why i play my fps games currently multiplayer only, i barely go back to single player, cheating is fun, but were is the fun when its still only you =/


basically


Long Life Time

Interacting with others to not feel alone.


+ This is why i hate all these mmo's adding instances, it takes away the feel..

Tune out of the real world and destress ( unless some nob gives me grief - welcome to ignore foo!) but yup to tune out from hearing about everything bad in the world everyday, log in chat to some good friends I have made on MMO that I play.

Personally I find MMO's more of a pay to use chat room, but hey since my mates are all over the country nowdays its a great way to chat and bash something made of pixels hehe!

if regads to a few posts I have read over the years, I am a lucky one cause my wife is an MMO player as well, so I have no issue with my mrs says GET OFF NOW! 

 

Cheers

No seriously...

 

Have you ever tried any "Drugs" or "Booze" and combined them with women?

I'm sorry if you say running around with VADERO01 looking for loot off a orc/goblin/robot is better.

Wow.

Time to try some life people.

 

 

Anyhow I play mmo's to generally piss people off and help newbies later on, other than that I dunno why I play them anymore.

As games like Fallout 3 are reminding me, MMO's are so linear now that even Single player games give me more joy than that of a mmo .

 

Anyhow try the booze and the drugs and the ladies (guys)/whatever.

Then come back to me and tell me that going to stormholdwindlight keep was better and if you say it was.

You're probably retarded.

 

I hope you're being ironic.

Oh yeah, drugs and booze is so much better. Let's see, concussions, amnesia, vomiting, back-fire from the drugs, death murder etc.

 

And mmo's, random nabs flaming "I POON YOU FU" and you get a laugh. I think i'd do the second <<

 

I do party occasionally, and it's not like the computer is my whole world.

Lmao.
Sense you are still young anf foolish i will say this once and for you're own good. Skip the Booze, Drugs, untill you are about 50 then play that game. It may be a Blast now but when you reach 50 + and have nothing left to party with, you will realy find out who your friends were. when the booze and money is gone so is a lot of everything else. party on.
