Hey ^^

the last years i tried it with Eve 2 times already, but never got in.

This time, i followed the tutorials by the letter and finally the universe has opened.

If you like to know about what experience i made so far, feel free to ask me a question :p

cheers ^^

I always laugh when someone calls a game wow clone.  It is very odd because these gamers don't realize that WOW is a clone itself.  Before WOW existed there was Everquest, Knight Online, Dark Age of Camelot.  WOW has things from all three of these games and more from others as well.  Look at Everquest 2 and how similar it is to WOW and you see that they both came out the same time frame and both have a lot of similar things.  It is clear that WOW is just a part of a genre of gaming and a clone of older and better games in some cases.  Remember, it isn't what kind of dog you are but who's dog you are that really counts.  The very reason that some awesome games are fail and other horrible games are packed with players.  It all has to do with the hype and advertising.  Just make a decent game and you got a ton of players because you are Blizzard and you advertise on television.  So next time you call anything a WOW clone, it would be better to give the credit where it is truly due.  WOW is a copycat.

While that is true, you should not underestimate the facts, that WoW was pretty much the first game, where it all fitet together.

For me, WoW always had - compared to other MMOs from that time - an excellent software quality.

The game itself was never really for me, my max char is 55 i think, but it was always technically a nice game.

The other MMOs from that time ran pretty choppy ..

If I had to pick one it would be Eve. 

   Yeah Eveonline

this ^^

Eve is one of the rare beasts i couldnt understand yet with the trail but i know what is behind.

Eve could for sure entertain me for years ... hmm, maybe i should sub there and seriously try it ?!

TSW is not what i expected, too much myth and ledgend, not enuff reality conspirathy.

The most other games are themepark trains, you settle up but instead of a massive open world you get only small locations, playfields but nevertheless its fun then and when.

This is my list of some current installs ordered by my current focus:

- FireFall

- Neverwinter

- Tera

- Neocron2

- War Thunder

- Anarchy Online

- Path of Exile

- Fallen Earth

- AoC

- TSW

cheers ^^

Nah that wasnt a hack, it only is on 2 chars, all others are in place.

Over that, its really everything empty, even the trash is cleaned out.

I think it is a result of the multible server merges and remerges.

I thought i'd give it a try after half year break, but what i found was my lvl50 completely naked, no creds, no items, no gear, nothing.

Another char had the same fate but all others are still like i left them on whatever server that was.

Finally unistalled this train, it can R.I.P. on my Linux drive ...

Nevertheless im curious if others had similar experiences ? ..

Just curious, the latest Nvidia beta driver causes ... maybe causes issues, could also be some hardware on the brink here but its not too old so ... doubt that.

Anyone using the latest Nvidia beta driver ?

Whats your experience with that ?

I played it casually until some months ago some technical problems came up and the game hadnt updated itself anymore.

So i uninstalled it and decided to come back later when im in mood.

It ran always perfectly fine on Linux/Wine ...

@OP

There is none nearby.

AO is pretty unique when it comes to twinking, skilling, trickle down and buffing / buffitems ^^

In fact, it cant be written by human. The game core is from a crashed spaceship of unknown origin.

All we can hope is ... soon™.

I feel cheated !!

Where is teh nipplez ?

indeed, this is great news !

wonder what happend to my char, is the character DB and my login still present or is it a start all over ?

.. downloading now :)

I like the gamestyle where you have to comquer or defend something.

While the most common games have these in their Battlefield maps - own instances - there was ans is a couple games out, that deliver this kind of gaming.

In Tabula Rasa you had to get these outposts, that was fun because NPCs and players were fighting side by side, on both sides.

Face of Mankind brought this to  a whole new level, by introducing crime and police and ofcause some kind of factionwide gathering of colonies. Best PvP experience i had for now.

FireFall promises similar mechanics, lets see, its still under heavy development.

Anarchy Online has also this funny Towerwars for Land Control Areas, but the level of success depends heavy on your gear.

So, yeah, PvP should be the first step to some real roleplaying ^^

FireFall

War Thunder

I think it is simple not fair to bring stuff outside of an existand NDA, a NON disclosure agreement.

So there was some fool breaking the NDA and complaining about whatever.

That only, to "save" the community from possible POS while that is - what we all know - a matter of taste.

Im only addicted to my guitar.

Playing it loud and full of distrotion, raw and fast.

I found myself playing FireFall for 6hrs yesterday .. ups.

First off, I've been playing MMO's since the day Ultima Online came out. I've messed with them all.

A buddy of mine sent me a Scroll of Resurrection and asked me to come back to play. I got to level 5 within 20-30 minutes and was about to go do the boss in the Dwarven starting zone when two players surrounded me. One was spamming scallywag and hopping around me, I quickly ignored him, the other runs up and says "Hey Faggot! followed by my character name.

This is the main reason I left in the first place quite a few years back, I can't believe that it's actually gotten worse!

I'm a guy in my mid 40's and I can't see how anybody could actually pay 15 bucks a month to be abused by players like this.

I'm going back to EQ1, EQ2 and Vanguard. Fuck WoW!

Im in my mid 40 as well.

You propably forgot about your middle finger.
