Uhh kinda playing Allods right now but I can't really get into it. LOTRO which is aight, WoW, GW, Age of Conan, and Fallen Earth.. those are it I believe. =)

Hey there. Weird request but I am looking for a creepy halloweenish MMO (like the undead zone in WoW, but the majority of the game if there is such a thing) Either free or a free trial so I can try it before I buy it. Thanks

this is what will happen the game will get 300k after it comes out and that number will drop down to 100k after the first month then bioware will start adding things no one wants into the game like more of the storyline bs rather then work on what we really want pvp content and more group content.

tor will last longer then aoc mark my words i give it 2 years maybe

theres more than 300k members just on the forums. And this is Bioware were talkin about here... SO shove it where the sun dont shine wow fanboi. Wow sucks, I played it for 3 years. The community is made up of 9/10 people being retards and that 1 person being cool. Wow will be its own downfall. People are getting sick of it and all its BS

Just got back to SWG and as much as I never thought I'd hear myself say this, I think that for the first time ever, I now feel that the post NGE game is now better than pre-nge/pre-cu.

Sure, I still miss the skills based system, but the other additions to NGE now outweigh this.

I've come back a few times since NGE struck and nearly always left after a week or two. For some reason, this time, I'm playing continuously and playing the kind of hours I haven't played in an MMO for a long, long time. There seems to be so much to do. And even my brother who came back a few days after me with 3 lvl 90 chars commented that there was just too much to do.

I think I have found my new MMO 'home' for the next year or two :))

SOE may have a slow burn winner on their hands here - even the pop looks vastly improved. Lets hope they don't screw it up by under-investing (new functionality every chapter is good enough for me) or releasing another 'NGE' type episode.

Aias

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frankly, I feel the same way. I love SWG in its current state. Sure it has its flaws(some are pretty major too) but I love it now =)

 

I personally think that this is a great game and should be given another chance. I have played since beta, i played pre NGE, and now I play NGE. And I have to say that the game should have been released as it is now. Anyways heres my goods/bads and explanations as to why I believe so

Goods:

Space combat is epic, POB ships are great and its really fun to RP in space and get a PVP squadron going. Space is flawless in my opinion.

Combat is fast paced and fun when in a group

Housing is wonderful and there are thousands of different rare items to collect

Vehicles and mounts are really fun

The creature system is really fun to play around with and it's super fun(but frustrating) trying to get mutations

The graphics are good and the game is fairly easy to run on maxed settings

A fair amount of end game content(all though it feels somewhat pointless)

The crafting system is my favorite out of any crafting system in any MMO(my main is a crafter/beast master)

Vast character creation system with many races to choose from

RP is great in this game and it is fun to even just go hang out in a cantina

TCG is really fun to play(but the loot cards are really stupid and hard to get)

Player driven economy

Huge game world

theres a lot of good in this game... you just have to look for it

Bads:

Classes are too similar and some(such as smuggler) are near totally pointless in a group

Economy is pretty messed up. Everything costs A LOT and credits are somewhat hard to earn(unless your main is a trader and you sell really high quality stuff)

This game wont survive(as in itl still exist but I imagine many players will quit) once SWTOR hits the shelves(i for one will be quitting for SWTOR)

Wookiees need more armor sets

Havnt had a space update in ages

Coolest items in the game are only available from the TCG and are near impossible to get(unless you have a lot of credits)

Still find some pretty bad bugs every once in a while

Lots of people quit and come back and new players join all the time so it's really hard to have a stable guild

REALLY hard to level to 90 since it gets boring when your by yourself

ground PVP is an epic fail(not even worth doing IMO)

Jedi is the most played class

SWG goes against lore like none other(which is really irritating since im a lore whore)

no real smuggling(unless you count the pizza delivery smuggling thats in game now)

 Overall I give this game a 7/10 and will continue to play it until SWTOR comes out

Brandywine for sure.

Agree, not for everybody, hence why most MMOs are turn based

And your point is? It should be part of the saturated mmo family that we got now?

Graphics suck(game looks like it was made in 03) yet the system requirements are that high? My friends cant even run the stupid game -- The graphics are pretty similiar styles of SWG and Vanguard in a PA setting.

lol did you just make a comparison with a game released in 2003 to make your point lol, I think you did.

No need to justify myself here. SWG graphics have improved through the years and so has Vanguard, however, no need to debate with you on this one. People have different taste. I rather enjoy better gameplay over graphics anyways, but thats just me.

Takes FOREVER to lvl. Not a game for a casual MMOer -- Games are what you make of it.

And most gamers are casual gamers who don't spend day and night playing games while poping redbulls and stealing their wi-fi connection from the neighbors because they don't have job to pay for their own.

Huh? Spoken like someone from experience?

Horses? WTF If theres a virus going around how are horses not infected like all the other living creatures? -- Did you every think that maybe horses have a immunity to the Virus?

Just Horses? that explains it...not. maybe in fairytale land, like this game.

Far from a Fantasy style game..

Feels pointless to play. Takes forever to lvl to 45 and they plan to add 10 lvls every 3-4 months until they hit lvl 150? Yeah have fun with that -- Its the journey in the game and not to race to level cap. I know you wont watch it, but here is a link in which they talk about what to expect in every sector.

www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/126/view/videos/play/1450/E3-Video.html

PVP is only in specific areas and its pointless -- Watch that link I just posted, this answers this question as well.

Fear that the game wont last and the servers will be shut down. -- Your entitled to your opinion.

Im going to play Earth Rise -- The familiar phase.. The grass is greener on the other side.

Well who wants to hang out on the brown one with doggy doo-doo?

Ok, you lost me here..

 

With all do respect, the game just is'nt for you wolf11223.

You sound to me you like the theme park MMORPGS out there which you need to reach level cap in 1 month. This isnt that type of mmorpg, if you would have read more information on the game you could have saved yourself some time.. Its more of a sandbox style of gaming than anything else.

You mentioned Earth Rise, yep that game looks promising as well, I cant wait! Anything is better than the Fantasy stuff we got going here.

 

 

I dont need a game where I lvl to cap in a month. Im a casual MMOer to an extent(college, girlfriend, full time job etc) and in a game where they add onto the cap lvl every 3-4 months until they reach 150? Yeah im probably never going to even hit the cap then.... And when I said that the ranged combat is garbage its because it is. I shouldnt have said it doesnt do enough damage. More so I just feel like its stupid because I was fighting guys from 5 feet away with a crossbow.... Jut felt stupid not to play melee. And honestly ER looks very promising and a game that really fits my gaming style. And ill prob play SWTOR when that comes out(depends on how linear it is) Im just really tired of all these fantasy MMOs.. gime a big gun and a big year 3000 looking armor set and ill be happy XD. ER just looks perfect. 

wow dead even for every faction at 33.3% each. I think that ill be playing Noir. But im really not sure yet.

This might be a good game. Its got good graphics, looks like some bad ass guns, and reminds me ALOT of fall out 3. But, from what I've heard ppl crying about is RoF (rate of fire) is slow, its not Fps, and some other little nip-picky crap i didn't care much to read about. From what I see this will be a good game. I signed up for beta and ill post new thread when i get excepted.

They said that ROF is being fixed (they are removing bullet cooldowns) and they are making it into more of a MMOTPSRPG. They said that it will still feel RPGish but the TPS will make the game feel much "deadlier"
