Well I really feel sorry for that guy if this is real.

He will probably die alone.

63 years old here.

I got my first home computer in 1978.  It was a TRS-80 Model One.  I remember paying $1500.00 for a 4K ram chip and $500.00 for a Hayes 300 baud modem.  Things have really changed.

I have played online games since they started.  Played most any you can think of (except ones that have anime). Never could stand it. 

Anyway at the current time I am playing no online games.  I dont know if its me or the crappy MMOs that are out now.

I am still keeping up with them and hoping to see one I might like.

Well I guess I had better get back on the front porch and yell at the kids in my neighborhood. :)

You think you got problems ??  I am 63 and have been playing MMOs since they started.

Not playing any at the moment as I think they have gone to hell in a handbasket.

They seem to have turned into single player games with a chatbox.

I doubt I will ever find one that holds my interest again.

Can I have your stuff?

Well I have played MMO's since they started.  Played Diplomacy in the early 80's,  Meridian 59, UO, EQ1, and just about all since then. (Except ones that had anime).

Anyway I have decided that MMO's are no longer for me.  I am 62 years old and I am fed up with the way MMO's are today.

So I am going to get an Xbox 360 and play games that I dont have to put up with gold sellers, obnoxcious children, raids, etc.

I would like to thank MMO's for all the years of enjoyment they gave me but it is time to leave.

My goodness.  That is sad.

How can a company hire someone from SOE after they destroyed SWG.  I would never hire someone who was anyway related to such a bad move as that was.

I am baffled.

because thats basically what these games are coming down to, a single player game with a chat box. oh and maybe when you go back to town you enter a hub that allows you to see these other players every so often.

 

But that is what the newer crop of players want so the Devs are giving it to them.

We will never have a good sci-fi mmo.  The reason is good sci-fi is too far above the level of most players.

As an example, alot of people called Star Wars sci-fi.  Star Wars was pure Fantasy.

One thing you need to know.  There is only one server, unless you try the test one.  There is another in China but if you dont live there you can't use it.

I leave it to others to tell you more.  I am sleepy and going to bed.

I was on this weekend when Freedom had 3 red dots.  It was a little laggy in crowded areas like the consignment area but other than that I had no problems.

Too bad Guild Wars isn't really an MMO...

Oh, yeah, that's right, how annyoing i keep forgetting, GW is a single player game!

I am 62 years old.  I have played MMOs since they started.  One thing is the older I get the less I can put up with the childish players.  Smack talk, leet speak, players wanting to be power leveled, profanity, and the list goes on.

I have tried most of the popular games and some that are not popular.  Now I am playing COH because I can get a group always.  I will not play an MMO if it is hard to find a group.

Oh yes another thing if a game has anime I will not even try it.  I just dont get it.  When I see an anime character I just want to give them a pair of sunglasses to hide their big eyes and cut their spikey hair.

When I was playing SWG (pre NGE) i knew this guy in my guild that was having a heavy relationship with this female character.  When his wife found out what was going on she told him to stop it.

His reaction was to threaten to kill himself if she insisted he stop.  Their marrage broke up soon after.

I know this is probably rare but it does happen.

One thing I have learned in my 62 years is nothing is free.  I wonder how much spyware gets on your computer from the sites and such you visit.

Sorry to be so cynical but that how it goes.

MMO  Anarchy Online  Pre Shadowlands

RPG Icewind Dale

Well I was there at the start also and AO set the standard for a horrible start for an MMO. 

I think that is what kept it from becoming  a big hit.

I played it until Shadowlands came out and that is what killed the game for me.

As mentioned before...

Pre NGE Doctor in SWG

Engineer in Anarchy Online.

Hard to pick which one I liked the best.

I expect that soon there will be a F2P MMO that will simple be called "Boobs-Online"

 

...Join the quest

Where do I sign up?

I am sorry but who cares.  Just play the game (If you like it) and dont worry about people with no life that have to level quickly.

I dont know if you did that on purpose but trying to read blue text on a black background is like trying to herd cats.
