This. Just go wander the world. You will find plenty to do and see.  Skyrim isn't a themepark game.

I had all my eggs in the SWTOR basket and I just can't get into it at all, I think I am completely burnt out on MMO's. I have tried almost everything and I get excited by the new game hype but in reality I haven't lasted past the first month in any game released in the last 5 years.

I think it's time for me to move on, accept I have had my fun with the genre and start reading books, I hear there are a lot of them.

Me too. I cancelled my SWTOR account a week after release and have given up on MMOs. I've wasted so much money on MMOs the last several years. I doubt I'll buy another one.

Now I just play Skyrim a few hours a week.

You want me to hold your hand on the way out or something?

You must be new to MMO forums.

Welcome!

republic fleet for example uses imperials reflection mapping as you can see, when you put force the LOD to render in high detail

Lol. That's funny as hell....

Nowadays, getting 3 months of enjoyment out of a MMO is a good investment. I got 2 weeks of enjoyment out of Rift...

I cancelled my SWTOR pre-order last week to play Skyrim...

Have you tried out Skyrim? I know it's not an MMO, but it's a great sandbox game. I gave up on MMOs awhile back since I hate themepark games, and Skyrim is filling that void nicely.

I pre-ordered on July 27th and got my invite to log in today. Doesn't really do me much good though since I cancelled my pre-order two days ago.

No battlegrounds and no honor points. Epic Southshore - Tarren Mill battles every night. Fuck yea!

Back in 1998, UO killed single player games for me. I just couldn't play a single player game after playing in a living breathing world with other players.

In 2011, Skyrim killed MMOs for me. I won't be able to play MMOs again after playing in a living breathing world again.....even if it is alone.

Now I just gotta figure out how to cancel my pre-order for SWTOR....

Cancellation of Diablo3, GuildWars2, Torchlight2 and the closing of the WoW servers and all other f2p (trial) games becomming p2p.

Not even then....

Ultima Online (pre-trammel)

SWG (pre-CU)

Resident Evil 1

Resident Evil 2

Looks good, but hopefully they will add some additional lower levels zones soon also. One of the main reasons that leveling up in Rift is so boring is because of the lack of zone choices at each level range.

Agreed, but he asked for the best gaming laptop for under $800.00, which that is. You can't expect to get an Alienware laptop for $800.00.

No, he asked for a gaming laptop and that just ain't a gaming laptop.

It is like asking for the best Scottish whiskey at a hill billie bar and get moonshine instead. Not really what OP wanted.

I don't think most people know how much worse an average laptop is for gaming than an average desktop.

Edit: And Alienware ain't that good either, not since Dell bought them. An ASUS is more bang for the buck.

The OP asked the question - "Whats the best gaming laptop for under $800.00." and I answered him. Noone is saying that an $800.00 laptop is a good gaming laptop, or even that an average gaming laptop is better then an average desktop. I was just answering the question the OP asked. That laptop is about as good of a laptop as you can get for under $800.00, which answered his question. And yes you can play quite a few games on it, including most modern MMOs. I know you can because my laptop is very similar to it and I do it. That laptop doesn't suck nearly as bad as you make it out to be. No you can't play modern FPS games on it at high settings, but not everyone cares about that. I don't.

If someone asked me what's the best hamburger I can get for a dollar, I would probably say Mc Donalds. It doesn't mean that Mc Donalds makes great hamburgers. If someone asked me if they could get a great hamburger for a dollar I would say no.

That laptop is pretty similar to mine and I can play AoC, Rift, LOTRO, EQ2 at medium-high settings with very little lag.

Sorry, but a gaming computer should max out all of them easy (except maybe Rift) since EQ2 is 8 years old (sure, somewhat updated), LOTRO 6 and AoC 3.

Most people don't consider it gaming unless you can max out almost all games on it, including FPS games. 1 or 2 exceptions is fine but not more. Because a computer needs to last a few years and being forced to put down the settings on old games means you will have real problem with FPS games 2 years from now and be forced to play on low.

Actually a good deal but this is not a gaming computer. Both the CPU and GPU are inferior to play modern games on unless you want low-medium setting.

Great for school work and Wow though.

That's a great deal.

You can pick up a Toshiba Sattelite laptop with an i7 processor, 6 gigs ddr3 memory and a decent nvidia video card in it for around $900.00

I have one and I can play any MMO on it. I can't run the games at max graphics, I usually run them at high, but they still look pretty decent. Desktops are always better, but if you really want a laptop, look into one.

Yet another MMO to uninstall off of my computer.....

 

 

And to start a thread about how a game was never made for you, right?

I didn't start a thread. I posted my opinion in an existing thread. This is a MMO forum site.....that's what it's here for...opinions, ya know.

 

 

 

It came off more of a Fact not an opinion, imo.

It shouldn't be all that hard to figure out what my opinion of dungeon finders is by reading my post....
