WoW?

Um, my username is [e-mail] if that helps anyone at all. >. >

Soooo...I'm already level 15. I blame my addictive personality.

[Sleetfoot]

I told you...

[Sleetfoot]

Ok so... every MMORPG I have found so far sucks... Starry, i can't download your for some reason :/

I've tried:

Fortune Online
Guild Portal
Heroes of Might And Magic Online
Forsaken World
CAPAL
League of Legends

The ones I do like are DDO (Dungeons and Dragons Online) and LoTRO (Lord of the Rings Online)

I am currently about to start running through Realms Online

[Starlight]

Isn't Realms by the same people as RuneScape or something?

[Sleetfoot]

I have no idea...

Realms was weird. Only three races to choose from and two classes. Maneuverability was annoying and difficult (Could be because I have no mouse) but the only way to move is the WASD pad :/

I far prefer DDO

[Sleetfoot]

So updates, all of those games were stupid/sucky so I've started dowloading and runing through:

perfest World
Runes of Magic
Wizard 101
Two Worlds
Toontown

[Hawkpaw]

Toontown is fun, but you need to pay for it... You can't do very much for free. That's why I stopped playing...

[Sleetfoot]

I've been doing just fine for free but I haven't gotten high enough to level or anything. What can't you do without paying?

[Hawkpaw]

You can't customize anything; your character or your house. That's all premium, plus it's expensive.

[Sleetfoot]

Oh well that isn't needed to really play the game :/

So, updates:

Forsaken World was pretty cool. The character designs are gorgeous and you have an entire array of coulours for hair so no two characters are truly alike. You do have to make an account but it's completely free. WASD pad to move, but the up and down arrows also move (not left to right :/). They offer a bard class, which is pretty rare for OLMMORPGs which I think is awesome. It took me awhile to get the controls though, unlike in WOW, it doesn't automatically adjust the camera to see in front of you so I kept falling off of things... It also took me a long time to actually find anything to kill...

*Beautiful and unique characters
*Great class choices

*WASD and Up/Down movement

*Camera doesn't adjust
*Long time to find things


Toontown Online has been free as far as I've played it but hawky says there is a premium you can get that allows you to customize things, which isn't really an essential for the game. There are tuns of fun minigames to play and, because it is Disney, it's all fairly nonharmful stuff. The controls are beautiful and easy to use (arrow pad) and the tutorial, although boring as hell) is very easy to get through and fairly quick. You can have any name you want but it takes a few days for Disney to OK that it isn't something profane :/ I like it a lot, but it could probably get boring fairly quickly and I dunno how far we can actually go with just a regular account.

*Beautiful movement
*Tons of Minigames
*Easy Online grouping

*Costs for premium (customization of house and Charie)
*Cheesy graphics (Disney)

*Could get boring?

Two Worlds took a fairly long time to download for me (and my computer is pretty fast). Unfortunately, it starts the download (or pre-download?) but without the actual disk to play it, you can't download any further. It is $10 at Target (in California) int eh PC section and I believe it is a one time fee for the game only (no monthly thing like WOW). I haven't played it at all so I know nothing further as far as controls, classes offered or ease of game play.

*$10 at Target

Wizard 101 has a looooong tutorial... With that said, the graphics are kinda cheesy (I'm sure y'all have seen the commercials) but it is an OK game from what i've played. Honestly, it was the only one I've tested so far that I actually came back to play. The characters aren't too unique, but you get to change the colours of everything yer wearing and there is a test at the beginning to decide what kind of wizard you are. Also, the setup for battling is somewhat annoying. If you get to close to a monster you automatically engage in combat and if you flee, you go back to the starting place (kinda far away). Also, if you get too close to another battle, you will be added to that one as well. Experience is minimal, at least now. Only getting 1-6 exp per battle but I'm all ready level 3 so it's all good. Also, one thing I am madly in love with about this game is the GIANT arrow. Like in many other MMORPG games, there is an arrow on the map pointing toward your next quest. In this game, there is a huge arrow on top of you telling you how many steps until you find what you need for the quest! names are preset but there is a HUGE variety to choose from.

*Quest Arrow
*Easy controls
*Good Attacks

*Quiz that determines 'class'
*Cheesy graphics?

*hard to escape fights
*Get caught up in other fights
*LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG tutorial (one time)



Also please note, I have not actually played any of these games with other people so I'm not sure how the interaction works between people. Toontown is crawling with other people I know for sure and Wizard 101 I've seen lots of people (and no option for a realm) but I dunno how to contact specific people.

If you have played these games or have more input or questions please ask!



Also, i feel like I'm doing a show on G4 right now...

[Hawkpaw]

I've played Toontown and Wizard 101 and got terribly bored with both terribly fast... Personally, I would prefer something non-downloadable and free (Cheep and terrified of viruses).

[Sleetfoot]

Weeeeeel pretty much any MMORPG is going to require a download soooo...

[Hawkpaw]

Yeah... That's why I don't really ever play any...

*Cough**Points to Charms Lesson**Cough*

[Sleetfoot]

I don't really want to flood people :/ Or make them read our boring-to-outsiders plot stuff...


Ok ok ok! Stop pushing me geesh I'll post...
