What is your favorite MMORPG?

Post Reply New Topic

I had one, but I think it's bad now. Too bad to list.

What is yours?

World of Warcraft. I have all the expansions, and my main character is 70th level.

My favorite table-top RPG is Traveller.

MMO RPG .. it would've been Final Fantasy XI and Star Wars Galaxies until they were ruined by their dev teams.

MMO ... Battleground Europe.

I don't play it anymore, I don't like it anymore, but it will always have a special place in my heart: World of Warcraft.

^^ Yaaye greetings Pondering,

Thankee very much for asking as I believe this is a very interesting question. I believe that I enjoy very much playing Lord of the Rings Online for the moment, however I believe that I also enjoyed very much playing World of Warcraft.

1: eve online
2: WoW

Although I haven't played in years Neverwinter Nights 1 was by far the best. So many vast and well developed populated servers completely player made on the toolset, tons of custom models, no subscription fees.
These days I find MMORPGs excruciatingly boring for some reason.

Come on, spit it out

Maybe if the game improves, it's in bad shape right now. The developers are lazy and instead of doing test patches, they release it upon the community and rely on us to tell them what is wrong with the game, and even when we do, these bugs from the untested patch can take over a year to fix. We suffer server resets, rollbacks, bugged gameplay and so much more. They're also money hungry, as all of the patches every week involve some kind of item mall item (in game items you can pay for), and bug fixes nobody cares about.

World of Warcraft =/ It's the only one i've ever played. I continue to play, but on a private server, with lots of bugs. =( (it's not a "funserver" or an instant 80 one)

It's been a long time since I've played any...

Star Wars Galaxies.

I was a hard-core EverQuest player, then my [ex] boyfriend switched and I had little choice but to switch with him over to SWG - I HATE Star Wars (*ducks from the stoning I'll get saying that on an AS/ASD forum* lol) but that made the awesomeness of the game even clearer. I do miss playing MMORPG's

Be warned, phil - playing on a "private server" is a violation of both Blizzard's ToS and Federal copyright laws; the server could be shut down at any time, and your account permabanned from all of Blizzard's servers. (For that matter, why play on an illegal server when you have to put up with even more bugs than the official ones, and it's not even an instant-85 deal? What's the point?)

Lately, I've been kind of perseverating on Cryptic's Champions Online, a superhero MMORPG. They have two tiers of membership - Silver, which is free (comes with two character slots, each character has one bag slot, seven or eight character Archetypes, access to the two (soon to be three) Adventure Packs can be purchased along with more characters, more bag slots, and more costume gear), and Gold (eight character slots, all characters have all bag slots, most costume pieces available free, all Archetypes available along with Freeform characters, all Adventure packs included) for $15/mo or $300 for a lifetime membership. Characters can be converted freely from Silver to Gold to Silver, which is handy for me because I did pay for one month of Gold, but then my next check got screwed with (again), so I've had to drop back to Silver for a while. I find it enormously fun, especially in that unlike certain other MMORPGs that promise great power eventually, you start off with some pretty good powers (you can select your movement power, from Flight to Superleap to Teleportation to Acrobatics, right after the tutorial), and they ramp upward after than. (One of the places where personalization comes in, besides the costumes and appearance of your character, is the purchase of upgrades to your powers - you get Power Points with each level starting after 6, and can either increase the damage/healing of your Powers, or give them extra effects. One of my favorites is the Lunge ability of the Behemoth archetype - I add a modifier that stuns the target, and knocks back any nearby opponents.)

While Silver, I'll be playing Meteor (a Behemoth) and Coldsnap (a Glacier); when I get back to Gold, it'll probably mostly be Lightning (a Tempest) or one of a number of characters I created to play with concepts (Psiblade, a Freeform with psychokinetic blades; Void, a Void archetype (logically enough) who I'm trying to make look like a character-shaped hole in space; John Henry, a Devastator with a huge hammer, and one of the few hammer-based Devastators that isn't a Thor ripoff; etc).

Hi, my name is Jon, and I'm an altoholic...

MapleStory.

EVE Online. I have 5 accounts atm, one I pay with money, the others I pay with in game activities. I'm a major industrialist and researcher. Have my own corporation of alts, Tower in highsec etc. I also pvp in 0.0 space. Dual boxing two carriers


Used to play wow but I got bored of it. It's a bit too mainstream now. I liked it when I was able to be "unique, special, revered" by putting in lots of time. 6h raids a day, and I was feared in PVP combat and admired by my peers. Now everyone can get everything and everything looks the same.

I played a lot of MMOs, but I really have to say DCUO or DDO. I had a level 85 DK Orc in WoW and it just didn't feel epic. DCUO just seemed to be much more interactive, through the button click combos and all that. DDO seemed to do dungeons so much better that WoW. I know I'm being hard on WoW by comparing these games to it, but it's really only because it went so mainstream. The one thing WoW has over all the other MMOs is community. If I had to choose one thing that would set WoW aside from the other, it would be that or the ears on nelfs. Even though it has fallen out of flavor with me, I still have to say it's a good MMO, but not too much to my tastes as DC Universe Online and Dungeons & Dragons Online.

NOTE: There was a big debate a while back in the MMO community between DCUO, WoW and Rift, where Rift was the 'Pro' game, DCUO was the 'Casual' game and WoW was the 'Community' game.
