Nothing happens at all. No error, no nothing, it just stays there.

When I click Next after selecting the server I want to play in, nothing happens. Any tips on getting this fixed?

My issue is not with learning how to dual box, it's with playing the game. I don't like Eve. I can arrange a dual-monitor setup, although I think it's possible on one high-res monitor.

Unfortunately I tried that and I don't have the finesse required to enjoy that game.

I was looking for a game to dual box in. I'm only going to purchase the games in December when I'm on vacation. I've tried Vanguard, AoC, EQ2, WoW and Fallen Earth. I'm willing to play those again since its been some time since I tried those. Grouping is a must. I'm high level in both EQ2 and Vanguard so if there is still a community in those I'll consider going back and single boxing.

I'd prefer to keep it under U$60 for each account to start out and then the subscriptions.

I never really had a problem finding groups. What annoyed me the most was I got to level 45 and pretty much had to grind it out to 47 I think.

I really wish I could go back to playing Vanguard, but I hear it might go down any minute. I didn't do much Diplomacy, I was more of a Crafting/Adventuring guy.

I've been out of the MMO scene for a while and I really don't know what game to play. I don't mind paying a subscription.

Games I have tried: EQ2, WoW, EVE, AoC, Vanguard

What I liked about them:

I loved the leveling/AA system in EQ2, loved all the different classes.

In WoW I liked doing the group content.

In AoC I liked the combat system and the combat system.

I loved crafting in Vanguard.

I want a game with an awesome crafting system and that I can level solo since I don't have much time to play. I am downloading the Fallen Earth trial. From what I've read in reviews of this game here it seems to be the game I'm looking for.

Any other suggestions?

Thinking about resubscribing. What has changed in the last year and a half? Have there been many updates? Is the cap still 50?

 I'm halfway through. Hopefully by tonight I'll be playing.

 Well, I just recently got the free 20 days promotion and now downloading the game. I quit right after The Shadow Odyssey came out. Any major updates?

 I just got an email with an offer to buy Mines of Moria for $9.99 including one month free. I have played LOTRO for maybe one day before and never really got into the game. Would I be able to live without the next expansion? How is the game for grouping? Will I have trouble as a casual player?

Thanks for the help!

 I was thinking Fallen Earth, might give that a look. Does it have a trial?

I have quit MMO's for about 3 months now and looking to get back. I will reconsider playing any game as long as I am able to advance some by playing for a couple of hours on weekends or so. I have quite a beefy computer so I think it can handle any game. I have played:

Vanguard, Age of Conan, Everquest II, World of Warcraft, Dungeons & Dragons Online and a few more.

I do not mind paying a subscription as long as the game is good. Suggestions?

What version of CCC are you using? What is your CPU temperature under load?

I'd go for a Core i5 system.

You can get a HD4850, which can play any single player games on maxed out settings (except for Crysis), for under $100. Why use an IGP unless you want to save power?

Upgrade that to 2GB RAM and she'll run things much smoother. Next upgrade would be a whole new system, haha!

My main problem with EQ1 is that it's first-person, EQ2 isn't.

lol Start with the cheapest one and if you could, give me a couple links so I can look into it. I won't be able to afford the biggest, most expensive one i already know

Ideally you would say "I don't want to spend more then 800 dollars" and then we would come back with a build around that amount.  If you say start with the cheapest, I can build you a PC that would run LOTRO for 350 dollars, but you wouldn't be happy with it.

Heh we have an old machine sitting around with a 6600gt in it that runs lotro and doesn't even have to be at the lowest settings, that game engine can scale surprisingly far. :)

You don't necessarily need the raptor in drags build though - hard to sell me on fast HD's when working on a budget, but it is nice if you want it. You could put 20 bucks more into the high capacity drive though for a 640gb or so.

For daily use Raptors are better performance than a 2-disk RAID0 setup and since this system wasn't really budget, thought I'd throw that in. I guess you could, but that was the first HD I found that was quite cheap, didn't really research much.
