Tera, GW2, Rift, TSW, EQ2, AoC, EQ, DCUO, PS2, LotRO, etc. yeah I don't see myself ever subbing to anything again.

Same. I don't mind paying for a game, but paying for a gametime is just no no to me.

There are literally millions of people who are willing to pay sub fees for a quality game. This has been proven. The only thing that a free to play model does is keep sub par games afloat. Give me 3 or 4 quality P2P games a year & I'll be far happier than trudging through a never ending buffet of unsatisfying MMOs.

There's even more people who can't.

Rift came out years ago. I would think their contents be slowing down.

2 years ago.

My favorite NPC currently is Fionasinna the Vivid, a dye vendor in Rift. Love here outfit. Almost always when I log in to Rift I go visit here. Too bad she doesn't talk much :)

Anyway, is there any NPC out there that you particularly like?

I rarely even play it now, why would I pay for it.

Same here.

i play both games and honestly they are just way two differen't to compare.. gw2 easily has a much more polished feel but again aside from both being themeparks its hard for me to make comparisons.. 

longevity is really so hard to say because what one person finds fun for lengthy amounts of time others will not..

I quite agree. So far I'm having more fun in Neverwinter then I did in GW2.

So which of these 2 games is better? Which one has better story? Better combat? Better world? Also which one do you think will offer more depth and longer playability? Thanks and lets try to keep it civil.

For me It's Neverwinter. Trinity system, better combat system, better dungeons, the foundry, there are elves :) and Faerûn is my favorite fantasy setting (witch rich lore) :)

No. I prefer games that have multiple combat builds, and variations.

^^^ This, even if it take too long to master them all.

You don't really need to master them all to have fun.

If i am sick of one build, it is good to know there is another to try.

I also prefer games with zero respec cost, so i can experiement. That is half of the fun.

It was pretty cool in Rift where you could have multiple roles and switch between them.

What's funny is that Turbine takes the exact opposite apporaches to two of its games: LOTRO and DDO.

LOTRO is so cookie cutter when it first came out that is was laughable. Even with the skill trees they put in a few years back, it is still cookie cutter. Turbine acknowledged this and decided to revamp the class again at the end of the year. You make a guard, and its going to be a tank pretty much for the entire game, not to say you can't fill a DPS role but lets face it you aren't going to cast a spell.

However at the other end of the spectrum they have DDO. DDO is so open ended and so builder intensive with so many options its staggering. Unless it is restricted by alignment, almost any class can do anything in that game. You control your opening stats, the classes you pick and the feats, skills, etc. That game is a race to see the flavor of the month build.  The best archers used to be Rangers, then depwood rangers, then fighters, then we started mixing monks into it,  heck I saw good bard and cleric archers, now its artificers or whatever.

Personally I hate the cookie cutter build. The more diversity the better the game.

Hm, I played DDO 2 years ago, but for really short period of time. Maybe I should try it again.

The best way to play, is through a system that there is no such thing as best build clear. Every build u make should have strong points and weaknesses.Players should be experimenting with builds to determine what sort of build suits their playstyle better and they should be free to choose so. Jack of all trades,busrt dmg,dps,better survivalability etc etc

Well, a lot of mmos are not like that.

I think I'm starting to understand more, why some people don't like raiding. Too much worrying abot builds and other stuff. Too much preperation.

This "cookie cutter" thing just started to bother me recently. I'm so sick of searching the web for "good" builds. I just want to create a charater the way I want and play the game.
