Amazing the amount of comments on this topic. I am an 'old' gamer too (over 50). My first MMO was SWG back at launch and I lived and died through the mess SOE made it but there was a lot I liked about the game and still do so I come back to it every so often. Its got space and ground content and keeps me entertained. It also has helped that they have consolidated the servers now and there is a decent population again. I have played CoX and LOTRO and enjoyed both for the most part. LOTRO is fun up to about level 30-40 but then the constant agro travelling and running out of solo content makes PvE really poor. Trying to get groups to run quests is hit or miss and sometimes takes more time than I have waiting for people to gather so I usually log out after a half hour or start a new character for something to do. CoX is fun but repeats the same kind of thing too much for solo PvE. I am now playing WoW and trying to look past the Warner Brothers cartoon graphics. I expect to see Bugs Bunny or Wile E. Coyote at any moment. I decided to give it a solid couple months of playing before I give my final opinion but so far going into month 2, I don't think its going to keep me. I am now looking forward to see how SWTOR and STO turn out. To all us old first generation gamers, rock on! |

I hope they ditch the whole tank/dps/healer system

I'm really hoping they do what they say and make it story / quest driven and not a "whack-a-mole" PvE game. I'm kind of tired of the go kill 10 of these and click on 12 pf those kind of quests. Strategy fighting, puzzle solving, and making your own storyline like KOTOR but in an MMO environment is what I am looking forward too. |

Star Wars Galaxies: The First Rule of Star Wars Galaxies PvP
News Discussion « General Discussion 9/02/08 11:37:47 AM
I know, maybe there should be a Combat Upgrade, oh wait did that.... All kidding aside, having separate PvP servers vs roleplay servers make the most sense and they could easily do this with some of the servers that are consistently population light like Kett or Tarq. Offer to move characters off there to roleplay servers for free if they don't want to participate in PvP and let the PvPers flock to the PvP servers and create new toons. For all the long time vets that have had an active account for more than 12 months, give them a twinkie like the "Elder" buff or something else that will recognize them so they won't whine too much. They definitely need to do something like this or its just a matter of time before SWG shuts down and there wont be anything to whine about.

Quick Suggestion please LOTR or WOW

Have you done the free trials yet? If not that should help you choose. I think both have a lot to offer depending on what you are looking for.

The run home from Mos Espa was painful without a vehicle. It did change the feel of the game but there was something to hopping on my speeder and being able to run to my house and log.... Cruising across planet to a player city was enjoyable where without was actually a painful 10 to 15 minutes of wasted time. |

I am excited about what this MMO could be. Don't fold like STO!!!

Eveything mentioned whether it is PE directly or not is all speculation until it actually shows up in a live version of the game. Beam me up!

No ship interiors? Is this a joke?
Perpetual Studios Version Discussion « Star Trek Online 6/08/07 1:39:34 PM
I am a long time Star Trek fan and was looking forward to this MMO but if there are no ship interiors there is no true immersion into the world of Star Trek which 80% of it takes place in the ship with people. I was looking forward to having my avatar walk the corridors and make my way to engineering to take my station. Retire to my quarters to check my personal log and messages from home while admiring a relic I acquired at some strange distant planet. Like the previous posts stated, they need to take the best of all MMOs and blend it into the world we know as Star Trek which include ship interiors.

I really like what I've read in the concepts. We'll see what actually comes out but I am a fan of Sci-Fi and looking forward to this.

I don't know if I would call it the best ever but there are definitely some good things about it. I played closed and open beta, signed up for the lifetime and bought the Special Edition release. I am officially hooked! Things I liked? Graphics, plenty to do, one quest leads to another and seems it doesn't matter where in Middle Earth you start, this is true. Group quests are fun. Things I didn't like? Too much running around, not clear enough directions to where things are at (although it is improving and it helps to realize you need to spend time learning the lay of the land). Avatar creation is pretty limited and everyone looks pretty much like everyone else accept for some color variations.

I am pre-ordering ASAP after playing beta!
General Discussion « Lord of the Rings Online 2/25/07 11:30:19 AM
I agree. That's one thing I didn't like about WoW was the cartoon looking characters. This game is the first MMO in awhile that has held my interested longer than a week. I highly recommend it.

can't come fast enough
Perpetual Studios Version Discussion « Star Trek Online 8/14/06 1:28:28 PM
That's the one thing with doing an IP MMO, there is a lot of risk and a gamble whether you are going to make most subscribers happy. I for one am an old school Star Trek fan from way back and am looking forward to this but slightly apprehensive about what this might turn out to be. Hopefully they learn their lessons from SWG. |
