I like regulated PvP like in battlegrounds in WoW and many other MMO's, but can't stand full on, open world PvP with full loot...  Is Mortal carebare friendly?

Depend what you understand carebear. The main difference in Full Loot MMOs is that such games give much stronger feelings, and because of that much stronger feeling of achievement.

AWESOME IDEA OP

I would so play a Old AV style BG game.

I may never come back to WoW with something like that. haha

There us such games: DOTA, HoN, LOL

PS: All great games, but they are not a MMO in any form, but match your description most.

I still do not understand why peoples pay monthly subscription for an instanced MMO if you just can play any multiplayer game without subscription.

There is even Global Agenda, which exactly this: completely Instanced PvP mmo without monthly subscription.

Mortal online can be such game some day, but only if SV manage to take control over bugged patches.

Mortal online? You just have to wait month ot two so most critical issues with expansion are fixed. There is no better sandbox game on the market currently.

I logged on to mmoprg today to see an armour set I had purchased for 10SD$ just a couple months ago now being given away free "to anyone who registers" . I just want to know if in their tiny brains they are considering issuing credits or refunds instead or ripping off the players who purchased just before what is now a freebie?

Would love to know, I am sure it is no. But it irks me quiet honestly, to pay for something someone else gets for free.

There are people who bought Lord of the Rings Online when it was still a boxed game, and Warhammer Online and a ton of other MMOs, before the client became free. They didn't get anything either.

In short, no, you don't deserve a refund.

In that games you still have benefit from what you have bought...

RIft is very badly optimised atm.  There are alot of issues that need fixing in the coming weeks and months if this game is gonna consider to be viable sub based game.  Atm its less value than most free to play games when it comes to higher lvls.

Even I think that Rift is ALMOST the same shity theme park game like any other on the market, I was really  impressed with the great performance and the polish in the open beta. I really do not understand how peoples can talk about bad performance in RIFT...

If you want to do damage while you heal...try the Mage Chloromancer in RIFT !!

He heals in an unique way... and it is very fun :) It rocks !!

More fun and unique than Blood mage in Vanguard?

I really enjoy the F2P gameplay of LotRO. It looks more difficult (grindy) than if subscriber, but it is just challenging enough to satisfy me.

As a sandbox player, Vanguard is the best Theme park MMO for me. In fact Vanguard have so much freedom that I think it is more sandbox than a Theme park kind of game.

Try Puzzle Pirates or EVE Online. Those are two where player skill are far more important than the gear being used. Gear-centric advantages are very common in level-based MMOs, so maybe try out some of the skill-based PvP MMOs. They are less likely to have big purple IWIN buttons in them.

Most players just say "It is so unbalanced" and throw it away, even more often the problem is in player skill and more important ability to think!

Most MMO players need exactly "I win button". I cannot understand what is the satisfaction from such button?

Most awesome PvE game ever, too sad most buggy maybe :(

... I dont think your "gay" for playing female toons, but you prolly would have liked to play with dolls when you where younger instead of climb a tree.

Bullshit... Except if you are still under 12 years old, otherwise its more comparable to "play" with girls.

What you say sound more like when most of my 10 years old peers make it as you are not male if you have contacts or have girl friend, when in the same time I have fall in love with my best girl friend, and my dream was to be married for her :). Then I was 10 years old.

Even a little rough   I can not stop myslef to saying what I think: In general most males suffer from not enough ego, so my opinion is that the same persons just cannot play as female char bacuse it hurt their already low enogh ego.

There are two kinds of MMO players. First plays as their character as theirself. The second play with their characters.

Thats why I play with female character. I like to look at my girl.

Cannot immagine that I have to look some gay ass all the day. Have tried many times without success.

And finally It is so exciting when a nice and innocent looking girl kick some retard ass! :)

I'm so glad you have so great fun. I'm was immersed to similar level in MO beta and it miss me. Hope some day MO can give such feeling more often while more peoples can experience it.

The last game I enyoyed exactly because there was real exploration adn real adventure was Vanguard. Maybe I enjoyed exploring and the adventure even more than in Ultima. I'm not sure if can touch that feeling in MMO again.

Just world of warcraft?  You are overkill with the system specs stated(unless you are on a 2560x1600 monitor in which case you are just about right).

The best simple thing you can probably do to improve your experiences with a new pc for just wow is to remember to get an SSD drive. 

I have HD5870(which is a bit better than 6870) and Phenom II 965 (which is a bit slower than i5 for WoW) and have drops in fps with 8xMSAAand shadows set to max. If drop shadows just a bit I get rock solid 60 fps(vsync). That mean even WoW can benefit from 6870 if set everything to max.

Also Cataclysm will be more GPU hungry so if can spend money for 6870 you will not make a mistake.

I was also aimboter with Railgun and 95% acuracy in Quake II/III when was young :P. Now I feel very lucky if hit once on 3 shots. :)

I dont know if there are many hackers or not, I have used 3-th party hack/scrpting programs on free MMO servers and believe me its the easiest way to become bored from a game, so such peoples leave very fast even if not forced to do so after a ban.

I play mostly female characters as looking a guy ass every day is too gayish for me. I really like to look a sexy back of my female characters. The other reason to play as female char is that there is no better pleasure to kick some seflish man ass. In general my characters in MMOs represent a females I like IRL.

I have played WoW from open beta, and really like classic WoW. Too sad it become more and more shallow with every expansion. Now the only reason to start playing WoW from time to time is Arena even it is not a MMO element at all. I understand why peoples like WoW, but many old school MMO lovers really miss the classic MMO elements like exploration, risk, adrenalin and freedom to have a choice. I think all this elements was perfectly balanced in classic wow according casual and hardcore players. Now the only meaning of "hardcore" that left in wow is time spend in game and mainly how long you are subscribed as everything is balanced around timers - weekly and daily.
