Help me pick an MMOFollow

PO-TA-TOES!

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

TBH I actually am very interested in whatever blizzard is coming up with for a new MMO. Because it has the best shot at ending WoW. And it will finally be something different!

I dont even get youtube here, but damnit I know what it is and yep. stuck.

First, I didnt complain that im forced to play WoW nor was I ever forced to play WoW, so not sure what you are talking about. Second, I never claimed that I didnt have people to play with because of lack of server population in LotRO (Or even CoH for that matter). LotRO had plenty of people on that server. I didn't click with anyone in the kin, and my RL friend that joined me to play stopped after a few weeks to go back to.... mhmm

WAR on the other hand was definitely a major server population issue. WotLK came through and wiped out an ungodly amount of their player base, servers shrunk and between that time and the time they started merges i think a lot more people were turned off by it, because the game is rubbish without a full server. I stuck with it through a server merge, got on a full pop server and the game was a lot better. Not without flaws, but it was still a young MMO at the time. Our guild was obviously toast. It fizzled into 3 total people, guild merged, didnt click, and game over.

CoH is worthy of being a financial success, which it is. It's definitely not worthy of being a multi-million subscriber game. I gave that game a fair shot and played it long after my interest waned. It was a game I quit because I just didn't like it.

My point with the whole "population it deserves" comment is a measure of success. I think LotRO and WAR are both great games. I think the PvE in LotRO is better than WoW. I think the PvP in WAR is better than WoW. I think they deserve a greater share of the market than what they get.

Listen, it's just my own personal, selfish reason for being bitter about WoW anyway. I got amped up about several other MMOs to play with my friends from both WoW and RL. They all ended up ditching the game for WoW leaving me hanging. I'm tired of everyone I know that shares my interests talking about WoW. I don't want to play that game, and I certainly don't want to discuss the latest patch.

I'll drink to that. When I started playing WoW I was all for grouping with anybody. After 4 years of that game grouping with randoms sounds about as fun as pulling teeth. lol

Notify me when they make Broken Tooth awesome again.

lolWoW.

Play EQ2. That's where all the cool kids are.

I can't stand playing WoW for more than 2 months straight. Every time I start playing I max my character in no time at all and am left with nothing to do until the next expansion....



FFXI FTW

I have Station Access, so I can play all the SOE games. I occasionally pop onto Vanguard. It's really not a bad game, just so quiet...

1) Yes.

2) Focus works sort of like energy and runic power (if you've played Death Knight) combined. Focus regenerates on its own, but can also be regenerated faster by using certain abilities (Steady Shot, for instance) while others consume it.

Supposedly they're trying to move the gameplay away from mindless button-mashing. They're also changing the way dungeons work as the days of "pull everything and AOE it down" are supposedly over with the launch of Cataclysm (mixing the current situation with old TBC heroics where CC was vital).

Pretty drastic changes, but interesting nonetheless.

Source to prove I'm not yanking your chain about the Hunter changes.

You looky.

(Spiffy Lotro video.)


*edit what resolution are you runnign at Maz? That can make a huge difference. Also the landscapes get better and bbetter outside the noob zones and you won't be wearing any of the really nice armor at that point either. ( Though the shire is aweful purty especially when a rainbow comes out)

Alot of the high end wearing armor people home point in Moria now in 21'st hall but you can still see some of them running around Bree.

And don't forget the other half you'll fight the same damn birds over and over and over!

Try LoTRO. The game looks great, you can customize your character really well. The classes are fun to play and all have some depth to them, even as DPS classes.

I got bored at the level cap of 65 though, and then my account ended up getting hacked because I logged on a computer at my college. Turbine is running on the same policies that SE used to have, that if you're not the current credit card holder, you don't own the account. Either way, it's a good game.
