• • Ex-EVE addicted need your help finding another MMO

  • Hi guys and gals, greetings.

    I spent the last 2 years and half playing EVE, 3 accounts at the same time (Alt-Tab a lot) and I really love that game but, unfortunately, got bored and found myself without goals to continue playing it.

     

    1. Games I love:

    1.1. Solo (in order of Love ):

    - Jagged Alliance (all) - you will have to google it cuz is an old game that I will never forget and always love... sadly, it's long ago.

    - Baldur's Gate II (both SoA and ToB)

    - SW KOTOR

    1.2. MMO

    - EVE Online

     

    2. Games I've played:

    2.1. Solo

    - Most of the bestselling ones since 1993, be it FPS, RPG, Strategy, whatever genre, some I finished, others, well, just installed and realized I lost some cash in the deal.

    2.2. MMO

    - Mu Online - got something like a LV 120 toon whem the Global server was, yet, in Korea;

    - Anarchy Online - played the trial but could not pass the LV 5 Agent - 3 years ago - or L1 Soldier last week, yeah, I've tried it again but the graphics...

    - Saga of Ryzom - played for 2 months, was in a guild with nice ppl, but was not the game for me, I was feeling like a child playing it.

    - Tabula Rasa - played the 5 days trial just some days ago and was not interested enough to pay for it, got 3 Chars (LV 23 Commando, LV 16 Ranger and a LV 7 Specialist) and that in only 5 days playing, OFC not 24 hours/day cuz I work and have family and RL.

    - Some others MMO that I can't even tell the name cuz I simple forgot it.

     

    3. What I want:

    - Mature playerbase

    - Complexity (I don't like easy stuff, in fact, the harder the better)

    - Sandbox

    - Some content for solo playing when breaking from the parties stress and to be able to get the game stuff (coin, equipment etc)

    - NO item/cash shop or any other way to get game stuff without, actually, playing the game. I'm ready to pay for multiple accounts but I don't think it's fair to get the goodies with my RL cash, neither for me or anyone else - that is one of the things that made me quit EVE (GTC Selling System).

    - If possible: acceptable graphics to 2008 standards.

     

    I will, really, appreciate any directions or hints, I've being looking for other MMO to play in the last 2 months, spending a lot of time in downloading the trial clients and reading all the forum threads (at least till page 10 - my limit).

     

    Thanks in advance and best regards.

• • Looking for a game that has alot of grouping

  • 1. Grouping - EVE - The main problem of the game is just cuz ppl group a lot and the nodes crashes in fleet battles. There are, still, some viable options to solo the game, OFC, but that is a sure way to bore yourself soon doing thousands of missions against NPC and that is why I canceled my 3 accounts 2 months ago, it was only my fault.

    2. Character classes - EVE - In fact, you can be whatever you want with only 1 Char, but that will cost you a huge time. The best way to be effective is focusing your skill training in one course, be it combat, industrial or any other, but you can manage to make a Jack-of-all-trades (Master-of-none) in some time but, again, I would not advise doing it. Most of the veterans EVE players have 2, 3 or even more accounts and that is to have focused Chars in each one. My 3 accounts were 1 caldari missionrunner with 35mil SP, 1 caldari industrialist and researcher with 30mil SP and 1 caldari (speced in flying Gallente) focused in PvP combat with 15mil SP.

    3. Style/look/cool armor/graphics - EVE - When you train to fly some new ship and first get into it in the station is amazing, never got that feeling in all other MMO I've played in these almost 10 years playing MMO (before that only solo games). Your avatar is a ship and you will get used to it and will love it more than using a new set of armor, believe me. The guys in CCP are always working in the graphics, last expansion was a huge change in this aspect.

    4. Monthly fee or totally free - EVE - monthly fees only, although It has a GTC selling that, IMHO, bought the game to be not that it used to be in the past, now you can trade your real cash for ISK within CCP rules using the GTC selling system. Anyways, in game ISK for real cash was always an issue with the ISK farmers and it's selling sites, just CCP got the business for them.

    PS: I'm not playing EVE anymore, but my friends are always calling me in the phone to reactivate my accounts and I don't doubt I will be back cuz, as you can see, I love that game... I'm just in a bored state right now, playing some other MMOs (at least giving a try) and other solo games.

    Good luck out there, be it in any MMO you find that suits your taste.

    Best regards

• • Lots of negative threads but the game is good

  • I would be trying TR for the next week, maybe month or even year. Got a trial key for 5 days and will be using it as soon as I finish downloading the client from PlayNC.

    Last time I used a trial account was in EVE, 2006 Jan, and since then I was playing that game, with 3 accounts, just got bored 2 months ago and canceled my subscriptions (95% my fault - bored) and now I'm looking for a new MMO.

    I don't want to wait till 2009 for another game in development right now, so Earthrise and others in the genre will not give me what I need, just cuz I want to play now, not in 1 or 2 years. So, I will give TR a try, and lets see what happens.

    Cya anywhere in TR, I hope.

    Note: WITWICS means Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego - That game got me hooked in computer games since 1987, before that I was only a casual Atari (Space Invaders and such) gamer.
