Wow, you guys certainly opened a can of worms with this thread lol. Ok, I'll bite, is it an RPG or does it have a place where Massive Onlike gamers can see and chat and interact with each other? MMORPG.com stands for.....what?

I dont know, I have not followed the D-series but have to ask, is this a coop game? I mean, can you and other players in the server...meet anywhere? A hub? Or is it like BF series where you build up your toon and go into pvp? Is the only MMORPG part of D3 the fact that you level up a toon?

Ya, Yea, Wow is dieing but alll the other MMORPG's are growing at great rates. Long live...whatever game you like and death to Wow. Ya Yea.

I dont know about anyone else, but I enjoyed the game for years, the first hack of my account took 3 weeks emails, new email address and I ended up losing a week of game time. The second hack started out with the same procedures, Ads that told me to buy thier super secuity system and on the 4th week I surrendered, closing my account for good.

Next time try Jack D with that game. Speaking of which, I been considering it and now that you played it. From an FPS RPG view, how is it., From a sober state of mind.

I dont know, I think the only option here is to be rich or hit up mon/dad for the cash. I enjoy a game for the adventure but, if given the choice to have..everything now I would take it. Grind is such a...grey term indicating...that evil past time called...work. Just a thought.

In P2win, he with the most gold...wins. The real problem is when it is attached to the....f2p  games. I'll use APB as an example, why should I drop $10 for a priemium account when I can get so much more with AimBot at $20? Add on another $5 and a couple of more cheats come into play. So, why buy their monthly weapons and mods when hacks can get them and still enjoy the process along the way?

This is a good quesiton and one of personal preference. I am not into the fashion thing but found myself seeking a new look in APB. When I think about it, personal gear would be nice in any game where you can stand out and earn to show off. You bring up a good point.

No, this is a persistant, partial loot, 3rd person shooter RPG.

You have NPC's that dont give quests, rather you pledge allegiance to them, and then everything you do, and missions completed, level up your rank with those NPC.  Doing so unlocks items and new NPC's to pledge to.

There are equipment and persona modifications.  They will buff an aspect and nerf another.  You could raise your HP (wearing body armor) at the expense of how fast you move ect.

Theres no crafting, rather you design premade items (like tshirts, jeans, vars ect) and then you can sell them on the AH or just use them.  Ive yet to see a game with as much custom decoration on cars,clothes, and persona via tatoos and makup.

There are two ways to progress with NPC's, doing missions, which can pit you against the enemy faction, or by partaking in open world crime (or if enforcer, cleaning up the mess/arresting)

Also as you play, your threat level increses, adding bonuses, increasing the chance of a bounty being placed on your head, and when reaching mex threat, its open season on you, and your marked on everyones map.

There are no visable stats, only ahcievements, and things unlocked.  Also your not wearing "armor" just decorative clothes, eventhough you may have a kevlar armor mod equipped.  Just your clothes (designed however you see fit, customization is amazing in the game) your gun (the only equipment that effects gameplay), your car, and your persona.

 This post answers well, your question is a little...grey in terms but I come from he FPS world. Nevertheless, I do enjoy this game and have been since the first one came out. It is true that hackers are present but less frequent on at certain times, like now at 2 AM, its a kids thing this hacking.

You know, put a keyboard and mouse on a console and it is no different than a pc,,,as far as gaming is concerned. Would love to play FPS on my wide screen.

Help me Obiwan, your our only hope....Riight.

In the past, to age verify, you had to enter a drivers license, your social security number, passport information, or credit card information. The choice was yours based on what you had. It was fairly full-proof minus identity theft which goes beyond this game.

Most just used their credit information cause they were buying Linden money anyway so it was working as intended. A few slipped through with mommy's credit card but thats a parental fail, not a fault of the game.

These changes are disturbing to say the least...

 Surely you jest, if by "full-proff" you mean fool-proof, I have to disagree with you. How hard is it for  a teenage undrage to get mommies or dadies info? Parents supply kids with Credit Card info. all the time for other games not to mention if the kid wants do get on she will simple...procure whatever info. is needed. If a company wants to have a game for mature crowd then it is up to the parents to assure the kid does not use the $1000,00 PC for such use.

What was the old way of ID people for age? Did it work or could anyone just punch in a date? This reminds me of the McD thing where parents complained about McD putting toys into happymeals that made their kids fat and out of control. Really, got a problem with what your kids see's on the internet...DONT LET THEM US IT. What happen to trust between kids and parents? The old days Ma and Pa left alcohol in the fridge, car keys were tossed on the table and when we said we were going to Lil' joies house..back at 10, we were back.

The problem is parents, catch kids onsite where they are not suppose to be...take away the PC until they can learn.

Heard the same thing with the final fanitsy BS and how it was going to be the alpha of Omega and it is the MMORPG's biggest turd, we are stilll her wiating for "that game" and will until....WoW turns out the lights.

No, I am not going back, this is the same stuff that went down 5 months ago when my clan was a part of an attack. Walls were put up and it was discovered that the GM who was a member of the other clan was doing it. Nothing new here.

My main complaint is the GM's keep saying they are sorry but repay nothing. Any know how hard it is to get  50 dudes online at the same time and motivated, organized, armed and out the door for an attack? No way, my love for MO is gone and nothing will help it return. Fool me once, same on you. FOOL  me twice......

WOW - Combat (Smooth and realistic combat. Very well done and one of the best I've seen)

If this is the case you have not seen much. Really, Tab, press 3, 2,5 and regardless of what direction your facing you hit. And this is the realistic combat you speak of?

Man, things be slow in the MMORPG world when the topics change to this. Rift server crash?

Girls do not play video games, they just pretend to play to suite their BF's because women are animals and only want one thing.

Save you cash, I cut out my subs 4 months ago and went MountNblade warband with mods. It does not have majic or elves but when you shoot an arrow it sticks where it goes, you pickup weaps, ammo, mounts on the field of battle. You swing a sword and your facing left of the target...you dont get the hit. The mounts act like...mounts, in that, they shy away from you when chased. Mods vary but one I played so far you can craft your own gear and weaps, learn to harvest and fish.

Its not an MMO but there is multiplayer but I can not comment on it because I am still into the mods. The community is excellent, mature yet a great sense of humor and....adultness. Give it a try, I took the chlance spending $10 on it and can not share the enjoyment I have had both in game and on fourms. Not to mention the extra Big Macs instead of subs to pay.

I don't know, "There are maybe at best a few hundred actives on both servers now" DF and AV was warned outright that the way the game was setup for mass gank this would be the end result. Even a complete wipe will not help if in 3 months the severs are back ot a few hundred again and putting bad money ontop of bad will not be a good thing for investors. When a new player can come on and be able to build up without hacks/macs/craks than the population will increase. Until that time when macing is not working...expect insanity. Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again...expecting different results.
