No, I know that but there was something that bothered me. It was like I mapped traveled and then the monster was into the area past the town and I felt too lazy to walk. I think what might kill my MMO addiction once and for all is uh.....watchamacallit.....starts with uh....a C...oh right, call of duty 4, I'm getting my 360 soon.

Guild wars does not have crafting , but once you adjust from crafting withdrawls you will appreciate all the content it does have. it is not level or item based as much it is more player skill and strategy. Though it is advised to make a pve character and go through the missions and unlock all the skills to make your players better it is not necessary to have fun. Do not judge the pvp on the lower level noob arenas , wait until you get to the level 20 arenas to see how level the playing field actually is.  Their forums are friendly and helpful, as you can see on  mmorpgs guild wars forums the community is really good. All I had to do when I started was say " I am new can anyone help me " and I had 10 people messeging me with advice, good advice and they helped me on missions. They have a good questing system, though you will find it a bit more difficult in gameplay than the too easy runescape system it will challenge you much more. They do not seem to think that a challenge is making things take longer, no instead they think the challenge is making you earn it with skill. ( which is a much better trade off than the wait for everything to happen system in runescape).

Yeah I play it from time to time, with my friend. He is obsessed, full 20s with really good gear sets. M y biggest gripe with it is the travel between different towns, but I guess I shouldn't be talking considering Runescape had so much walking.

try WurmOnline, 60% crafting(player owned towns, houses(none of which are instanced), every item crafted by players, and on the wild server what could be considered hard core PvP(item loss, skill loss, town looting if you can get in)).

 

and you can play for free as long as you want on a reletivly limited account(skill limit of 20 in everything).  not really a selling point but you can play casually for a month if you want to see if you like it.

I tried that...didn't like it. I dont really see whats attractive about it. Also there were about 30 players online when i was playing, so i couldnt find anyone.

Yeah me neither :(

You got any games to recommend that have awesome crafting and quests that are more complex than kill X and bring me Y? :)

Face your fears, accept it. Yes it was hard for alot of people to finally throw in the towel, but bottom line is when you stop having fun play something that is fun.  I tried talking to customer service prior to the updates because I was fully aware of them prior to them being announced.  We knew  then that it would destroy the game and that doesn't seem to be a concern of jagex tbh. There is nothing left to do now but accept that they ruined it, move on go play something else that you don;t see the entire forums filled with hate for the game. After playing wow and guild wars I wonder why I stuck around that crappy game  for as long as I did. I played for years, had everything maxed that I wanted to maxed, had everything i wanted in the game. There are no rewards for your work on there only more suffering. Not worth it.

Boy, you seem to like my threads. :) Well thanks for the advice, I guess even though I can't quite go back, talking about it helps me.

MECHSCAPE? What are you, joking?

Before I start, please don't tell me to quit runescape, or make fun of me, let's all be mature*snicker* about this. The recent updates including the tearing out of PKing, the ripping out of duel staking, and the crippling of merchanting have caused an uproar amongst runescape fans all over the place. Is there any way around these horrific game updates? Ranting on the forums doesn't seem to help, so would any of you like to chip in your two cents?(or 5 gp?)

LOL, nice username compared to your post. You might flame me for it, but yeah I feel that the PvP in WoW is sorely lacking, I really liked Runescape. You could have pures(twinks) and you would lose all your items. Once lost all my money on my birthday, but it was hella fun :P

Well thanks for your input, I'm done with this thread. :)

You might get super-pissed at me for saying this....but....it sounds like Runescape. :)

Does anyone know if Turbine will shut down LOTRO. I heard that they will close it down EVENTUALLY, not now but just like LOTR story ended, this MMO will too? Anyone heard anything?

Do any of you know if LOTRO will eventually end. I mean all MMOs try to survive as long as possible, but will this one end by itself?

i surely dont hate turbine. I loved ac2, and have yet to see a game with a better storyline, and story development. And i dont blame them for shutting down ac2, because i cant blame them, because to few people played it (a few k subs in the end), they are a company after all.

Now a company i hate is SoE... all the subs got knocked out and awoke up in a gun sellers apartment, tired to a chair, with a guy called Zed and a gimp standing in front of us, with a scary smirk on this faces... (Pulp Fiction spoof)

Yeah, I don't want to start ANOTHER thread about SOE hatin' but why do people hate SOE?

I know I'm starting a lot of threads but I'm very busy later today and I gotta get started early. Is Asheron's call like Runescape? How is it's crafting/combat. I hear there aren't many people playing nowadays.

Sure DDO isn't that popular, LOTRO is a wow clone(but its getting better ) and Asheron's Call, is well, old. What have they done wrong to deserve all this hatin'?

It was important for gameplay once.

Got nerfed then and replaced with loot items.

Since then it makes a very slow climb to become sort of useful again.

Crafters have no real place in the game yet though

Yet? It's been out for 10 years and still crafters are useless? Ouch.

Is there a big player base/community? Is the crafting like runescape or wow? is it fun?

FOR THE LAST TIME, THEY SAID IT WOULD BE DIABLO. It makes no sense for them to create a new IP when the current ones are so good.

As long as I can keep my PC wowz :P. but yeah I'd love that.

The spells and creatures are kinda bland, every enemy looks like a Ken doll.....
