What MMORPG are you currently playing?

[Igiss]

Choice of MMORPG can be difficult. But if you know what games your friends and people whom you know are playing, it becomes easier to decide. And meeting online is always and exciting experience.

That's why I started this poll for all forum users. If there are any MMO roleplaying games that you are playing now - or going to play in the near future - choose the game (or choose Other and post), or choose None if you are not involved in playing online games right now or simply not a MMORPG fan.

You are welcome to post comments on your choice - and on choices of other members.

I'm playing GuildWars, and enjoying it.
Even got a guild going.
Not really interested in any others, simply because I refuse paying a monthly fee to play.
Of course if there's any other games like GW, that doesn't require monthly fees I might be interested.

[Igiss]

Yes you are right. When buying City of Villains I had to get 3-month subsctiption (2-month card in addition to free 30 days, to be precise), and later felt like my investment was completely lost - after I got a bit bored, I quitted playing and never returned to the game. Or, to be precise again, returned once but not for long.

Subscription ends March 25, and my level 19-20 characters (out of 40 max) will just get lost now, cause I'm not ready to pay for more months just to preserve my characters.

Sad truth 

[metamay]

I'm playing World of Warcraft at the moment but I plan to quit it when Oblivion comes. At least for a while. 

[Crono]

I'm currently playing Ultima Online, have been for quite a number of years now.. ever since '98 when it first came out. UO is still one of the biggest MMORPGs today, although not many newschool gamers like it much cause of its graphics...

Maybe some more games need to be added to the poll, such as the aforementioned UO and perhaps Dark Age of Camelot aswel (also fairly big).

[Igiss]

UO is fine, played it for some time not long ago. But I just don't like isometric games, whether they are 2D or 3D with insanely detailed graphics. And that's also why I like Elder Scrolls.

Poll choices are based on statistics, as far as I know those games are most popular right now. There are dozens of other popular MMORPGs - already mentioned UO and DAoC, Eve Online, Anarchy, Asheron's Call, Lineage II and others. That's why there's "Other" option in this poll.

[Crono]

Yeh UO gets a bit hard on the old eyes after a while but i personally like the graphics, wouldnt be still playin it otherwise lol.
Im also partial to a bit of WoW sometimes, the game aint bad, almost as addictive as UO I can say =p

[Lord Sunnycool]

I play Guild Wars. Great graphics, great fun, great gameplay, no mounthly fees!

[Cecasander]

Still hooked onto World of Warcraft, but I don't play it very frequently, due to hardware and studytime restrictions.

[Lord Sunnycool]

WoW is not that requiring - what does your PC look like? The second reason is very true for me as well

[Korrd]

Im not playing any MMORPG now. But i will play oblivion once it comes out.

[Crono]

MMORPG = Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game

Just for the reference =]

[Lord Sunnycool]

Yup - Oblivion is not a MMORPG, it is a RPG, and even though some people fail to see difference, there is a BIG difference. I'd never compare a game like Morrowind or Oblivion to a game like World of Warcraft or Everquest

[Kinrick]

I played EQ1 since beta, and continued to play it for around 7 years. I then also played EQII since release and they have made many excellent changes. Recently they opened a new PvP server. I am the guild leader of Twilight Horde, a new young guild on the server.

Check us out: Twilight Horde Guild website

[Thuraya]

yes i play WoW have my char info in sig

[Iluvatar]

If Diablo 2 counts, I still do play that every once in a while.

But no MMO has really excited me since Ultima Online and my old, old days of Nexus. Nexus was a pretty kick ass game, if I do say so myself. Guild Wars was good fun for a couple of weeks, and I'll probably pick it up again when the expansion comes out. That is, if I'm finished with Oblivion by that time.

[Crono]

But no MMO has really excited me since Ultima Online and my old, old days of Nexus.

Ultima Online is a great game. Did you play on OSI originally? Also, played any freeshards of late?
I started playing on OSI then went to a freeshard called Athlore shortly after. Great memories.

[Korrd]

Oops. My mistake...
Well, then, im not planning to play a MMORPG... Not enough free time to do so.

[Thuraya]

Think i should point out here that RPG or Role play game and MMORPG Massivly Multiplayer Online Role Play Game is that makes it the diffrence. Likely your confustion came from not understanding the abbrivation.

[Misere]

Previously I have played a lot of MMO's As i mention in my "welcome" I have moved and can no longer get BB only Dial up so im stuffed really.  I wont go into them all but the one I played and enjoyed the most in its hey day was Dark Age of Camelot.  I played this game on and off (mostly on!!) for about 3 years and I raised a fair few lvl 50 toons (which is the cap).  In look its quite similair to Oblvion.  Just obviously more dated.  It has a fantastic blend of PVP and PVE.  Including training battle grounds where you can take part in keep defence/raiding from as low as lvl 9 all the way up to real real versus realm at lvl 50.  I really miss this game and the freinds and campanions I made while playing it.  Sadly these days so many of the players have moved on (to world of warcraft, Star wars Galaxies and EQ2 etc) that the server populations are a little low.  A proliferation of "buff bots" effectively killed the game and it did not help that the Devs helped support it by making it easier to run 2 acounts on one comp.
 
  The good news is the people behind what is my favourite MMO of all time are the people behind the up and coming Warhammer Online game.  Fingers crossed that make such a good job of it and fingers crossed someone gets round to laying some cables to my street !!!!

Before Oblivion came out, I was addicted to FFXI (Mithran level 30nin/15thf) on the 360. And before that, I played WoW (Night Elven lv60 Hunter) And before that, a year or two ago, I played Maplestory(lv58 Cleric).
But now...Oblivion owns my soul.

[Bloodtallon15]

Wow forever lvl 60 hunter on eldre'thalas woot

[Jeff]

guild wars and americas army

[Misere]

Anybody else playing D and D online atm.  I have rolled a bard but only had time to play for about an hour.  It was easy to find a grp.  I was invited almost before i had set foot off the boat.  Anyway From my first hour of playing I had mixed reactions.  The graphical engine is pretty poor even for an MMO.  The group dynamic is a little lacking because combat is real time every one in the grp just whacks away, ofcourse this might of been purely because the whole group was inexperinced.

  On the plus side there are plent of quests to get involved in and unlike MOST other MMO's there is no solo grind.  Ofcourse in the early days of any MMO there are always more people ready to grp as the player base is new and entuastic so to speak.  I did not come across any real bugs either which is good for an MMO so recentley laucnhed.

Two news about MMOs today, and one of them involving D&D Stormreach. Quoting Gamespot.com:

"The PC MMORPG will still be massive, online, and a role-playing game, but can now be played with less of the multiplayer portion. Some areas of the game will be playable by solo adventurers, rather than requiring a party. According to a Turbine representative's post in the game's official forums, the update will "be coming soon to live servers."

A new difficulty option will be available to those who want to have a go at some areas alone. The new "solo" difficulty level will scale the beasties and treasure in the area appropriately so that single adventurers won't be torn to bits. The first area to go solo will be The Harbor--The Waterworks, Irestone Inlet, and Kobold Assault dungeons will remain group areas.

Turbine has also adjusted the experience requirements for leveling up. The change heavily favors new players, cutting the necessary experience points to get to level two by half. However, the requirements for levels four and up will only be decreased by 10,000 points. The new leveling system, coupled with the previously announced seven-day free trial, is likely an attempt to bring in new players to the game."

Another news is very belated release of Issue 7: Destiny Manifest (City of Villains). But even this won't force me to renew an account... the game is interesting in its own ways, but boring in its own ways too.

[Misere]

I played city of heros myself for a few months, but quit before city of vilains.  Its far easier to get involved in that most MMO's and doesnt require a hardcore gamer attitude to play.  Its almost like a console game in that respect.

  that said some would probably argue it lacks depth, to each his own...

[Igiss]

Building of clan bases, clan relations, many different missions with some kind of plot (yes, they are all filled with moster killing, but goals vary) - add PvP zones to it where heroes fight villains, or everyone can fight everyone, and you get enough depth. Still many parts of the game are not thrilling enough to keep up the interest. As for being easy... this game allows to set difficulty, and efficient ways of character development were quite complicated.

Heh, I've just said about accout renewal... got a newsletter from NCSoft recently where they say they are going to unlock all old accounts for next weekend. Maybe I wasn't right to delete this game from my HDD? But anyway, Oblivion should be enough - not only for this weekend 

[Myrthe]

i play Planeshift. its a MMORPG still in development but it has great potential. you guys should check it out at www.planeshift.it.  Mind you, they are really slow developers, but thats because they are volunteers doing it on their own free time, making the game free for players, which rox! if you can get Oblivion on your PC, itll kick ass on your comp.

[xaedra]

I play World of Warcraft.
I'm Elven Priests all the way.
Can't wait for The Burning Crusade, I'm gonna make a Blood Elf Priest.

I'm also looking for a good mmorpg that is free thats a good time waster when I'm not in a WoW mood.

[TipMe]

DONT LAUGH! maidmarian.com

[AhnQiraj]

Well, I played Guild Wars (Level 20 W/Mo), stopped after Factions, WoW (Lvl 60 NE Rogue, 60 Human Warrior),might start again at the Burning Crusade, and D&D Online.

Currently Oblivion ftw 

[TipMe]

i play guildwars. :meet me:

[Loknar]

Now I'm playing Gothic 3. I never finished Oblivion....

The graphics of Oblivion shatter Gothic in tiny bits and feed it to babies. However...

In oblivion....
1) I have been around the map faster than Gothic 3
2) I have had the stronger gear a LOOOONG time ago - had to try mods after that
3) I talked with all 3 NPCs, well if based on voice.

In Gothic...
1) My character has a real personality, great voice acting.
2) The lore is omnipresent
3) Fights are harder.

There are various problems, but for the above reasons, I'll finish Gothic 3 and not TES Oblivion.
 

[TipMe]

Aww c'mon, you need to finish oblivion first before you play any other game. besides, oblivion should be the 8th wonder of the world because of all these bunches of quests.

[Sestic]

I play Guildwars now and again, cant convince myself to quit as im in the best luxon guild on the game 

[TipMe]

i dont play GW much, but when i get bored of oblivion ill play Guild Wars.

[Mista Jingles]

wowarcraft....and this lil simple game called Tibia...fun lil game

[Mystical]

Anyone heard of Runescape?

I'm not exactaly familiar with the term MMORPG, so I'm not sure if Runescape fits, but from what I've extrapolated, well, anyone else play?

Correction, I use to play. I havn't logged in in ages.. gets a little boring after a while. You get nostalgic for it. xD At least, I do.

[TipMe]

oh RUNESCAPE!! that sucks! like for 7 year olds!

[Mystical]

That was unneeded, TipMe..

Personally, I enjoyed the game, until there was nothing else to do. If you can't say anything nice about it, best not to say anything at all, mmk?

[TipMe]

..... .......just putting up my opinion...

[Mystical]

I understand, but you've got to understand that saying it so rudely might insult someone.

[xit]

Agree with Mystical, that was unneeded. It's fine to think Runescape sucks, but do tell it in a friendly way, use constructive criticism instead.

Anyhoo, I played Runescape for awhile. But that was a year ago or so.

Still playing Guildwars though.

[TipMe]

Yup guildwars good. (why are almost all the smileys gone?!?!)

[Captain Rufus]

I would play MMORPG's but atm i dont have an internet connection at home. Although I dislike the completely online ones such as runescape, I prefer more traditional ones such as WOW, star wars galaxies etc.

[Pod]

I know this topic hasn't been posted in for a while but hey..


I play a MMORPG called Dofus, it's different to most MMORPG as it is completely run in flash, the development behind it is French and their technical support and  in-game modding can be a bit lax but it's fun, levels range from 1-200 so there's plenty to do although it can be time consuming, the battles are FF styled and the game can be really addictive at times, it isn't free but currently there is a new server where F2P have all the benefits of P2P (Access to certain areas and whatnot!)

It's a fun game if you wanna try it out!

[pooshoe]

I was hooked on World of Warcraft for 5 months then i got band for no reason .
oh well. I've only just heard of this thing called the real world, or was it called second life? lol

[TipMe]

Playing Guild Wars, and just got Eye of the North. :]

Anyway, I have all three campaigns including EotN. Anyone else play Guild Wars?

[Lucien]

I used to be a big Guild Wars fsn but i got bored after a while and not gona buy Eyes of the North , to answer the topic question im no playing any right now concentrating on halo.
