really enjoying lotro at the moment. The pvp is a bit basic, but it can be fun for a quick blast now and then. The pve really shines though. Classes are nicely balanced and varied, and the questing is well scripted, with plenty of story behind everything. Pretty good depth to it aswell, and lots of side things to try, like crafting, exploring landmarks from Tolkien's works, and all the role play bits too, like playing music or just hanging around smoking pipe weed. Just offers so much content there.

Eve..  still loving it after 4 years.

Vanguard is going great.  It's a wonderful game, just a shame there aren't enough people playing it right now.

I'm still loving LoTRO. I'm a PvE'er and Soloer and it's just the perfect game for me. Plus, I'm an adult and like the ppl that play LoTRO- very mature and kind crowd.

I been playing it since Jan of 07 and only hit a speed bump once. I maxed out 1 HUnter within a few months and got disgruntled. So, I rerolled and made 5 new toons and decided to craft all my own gear and be self sufficient.

That did the trick- a year and a half later and I happily log in every night and have TOO MANY frigging things to do LOL! 

I'm so glad I thought to reroll with a full 5 girl crew. It made me go outside my comfort zone of "only playing Hunters" and I fell in love with the other Classes I tried. I never have been an Altoholic in any game I have played till this one. But they made their Classes very well and it just behooves the players to try them. They are all potent in their own way and that's rare in a MMO to have such strong Classes all across the board.

Safe travels,

Lori

Well, resolution matters. I run at a modest 1440x900. And out of a full Bree, I run 70FPS easy. Really easy. But at peak times on Elemandir (a pretty populated server) in a full Bree (or a freaking packed Esteldin!) I pull 60 FPS. I can't do DX10 though with the new drivers, I get screwy shadows then I crash. If anyone has a fix, it'd be awesome.

EVE is fun, the risk is really what makes it fun. That and the socializing. The local and global politics are actually are fun, it's almost like living in a world. With the realtime skills, if you biff up there's no undoing it. Your name is tarnished.

EvE...still satisfied after 2 years.

YES! I recently returned to WAR and still love the pvp, and the pve is as fun as anything i have played.  I should note i recently quite playing WoW (gawd what a load off my shoulders)  I also play RoM from time to time and that's pretty fun (except to all the dailies-too WoW like)

So yes i truely enjoy WAR very much... no complaints

 im digging all the mmo's im playing atm actually.

guild wars:  having a great time here.  paragons are fun as hell

WAR: rvr is great.  pve is kind of a lacking and the glitchy animations kinda bug me.  but im having fun.  that flying dragon animation seriously needs to go and they need to fix combat animations though.

lotro: just started the trial.  so far, its the best first impression an mmo ever made on me since anarchy online 2001.  really surprised i like this game so much.

wow: i can never get enough warsong gulch.  i love me some pvp.

I have been enjoying Aion as well as a little SCHThack PSOBB on the side.  Keeps my mind occupied and that's all that matter I guess.

Wait...your playing AION ....no fair!

LOTRO for 9 months now....tried WoW was not for me. 

Been enjoying EQ2 for a few months now.

i've been enjoying EVE for about a month now, i applied for a good lookin corp, although they haven't replied back.  It's gonna be hard trying to find another corp like the one i'm interested in.

I am enjoying Link Realms like I've never enjoyed a mmo before.

Ryzom for me

not sure exactly why but i can't wait to get in every day (well, almost every day)

if i had to pin it on one thing it is the community - everyone is so damn nice - and i mean nice to a fault - totally weird

I think most people who are still enjoying the MMOs they're playing continue to play their MMOs over logging on forums to talk about how bad certain titles are. :)

Been enjoying EVE for almost 2 yrs now. 

Link Realms is hella fun, but hard to get into.  But I've REALLY been enjoying Runes of Magic, as it is the first game I can play with my step-dad that runs smoothly and has PvP that doesn't cost us a total of $30 a month just to do so.  I want to try Ryzom, as my Sandbox loving self is not satisfied currently and I've heard good things about it in that respect.

This seems circular reasoning.  If I do not enjoy the game, I will not log on.  Money is spent, monthly sub already deducted from my credit card.  Loggin on to it and feeling upset will only compound the losses.  So if I do not enjoy that game during that moment of my life, why log on.  Lots of other things to do.  Sleeping is one, no kidding.

After noticing how my sister's baby behaves in front of the screen, I suddenly realise how I should approach a game.  Do what I like and ignore the game design.  This is a short recap of what happened around a year ago.

The baby is the star of the house, everyone loves him, he is free to roam everywhere and screw up anything.  He walked into my studio one day, and look at the screen.  So I show him the simple 4 arrow key movement mechanism and the jump key (space bar).  He started jumping and for days he comes in just to jump, effectively taking over the PC for minutes.  He laughed.  Then he noticed fire on the screen, water, animals.  He talked, he discovered new things everyday, he discovered the new buttons of control, he giggles, he smiles.  That is his game.  He never finished a quest, he never visitied the bank, the AH, he never fire a fireball or swing his weapon.  But you know what?  He giggles everytime he plays and moves off when his interest wanes.  He enjoys the game for as long as it pleases him.

That is how I play my games now.

Funny, I read this hoping to find something new and a lot of folks love Eve. Well, I played Eve for like 4 years but I just got tired of it, it was more of a 2nd job than fun. But that said I've never had so much fun playing a game in my life and I've been playing for a long, long time. Everytime I thought I'd figured out everything there was to know about Eve I'd find something I'd never thought of before, and get into a whole new area and it was massive fun, and a lot of work. We had huge engagements lasting for DAYS, no sleep, up all night, etc. Then I'd get out of that and into the many other things going on that didn't require so much work. You don't have to do the high stress stuff so much.

Problem was though a lot of the economic stuff was mostly out of Jita, and so it was never ending terrible lag in that system. Yes, you don't have to do it in Jita but if you watched the markets often that special item was for sale only in Jita, like a faction large tower at a good price. So playing the market + Jita = sucked.

Eve is worth a look for anyone who loves games. Just take it slow and relax and you'll do fine. Although my entire guild followed me over from Earth and Beyond, and after two weeks out of 45 people only two were left, and they didn't last much longer. So it's not a game so much for the Pokemon crowd.

One thing about Eve, it reminds me a tiny bit of the original Ultima where you could actually really be a thief.  Now don't hijack this thread talking about how wonderful the original Ultima was, but I never had so damn much fun. Eve allows you to steal and it's a big part of the game. Spying, too. I was a spy for several major alliances. I did a few corp thefts, really huge ones. I ran a few scams. And I did all the good things, too. I did it all. It was a blast. Even being a lowly ore theif was fun. Then of course you could hunt down Chinese "isk" farmers and kill them, that was a noble cause as well.

Not true.  Enjoying a game does not mean playing 24/7 till I faint.  I can play for a while on and off, and enjoy it while it last.  I can also enjoy dicing the rest of my living moments with something else to do, including bullshittinghere.

There is no conflict, that is supplementary.
