I didn't want to put this in the "other rpg's" forum as that seemed somewhat insulting to them and could not figure out if there was a proper forum in the "arts and entertainment". So I pose the question here:
What, in your opinion, is the best MMORPG out there and why? I have been running on a 28.8 kbps modem for a decade and am only now getting dsl. Due to my internet connection, the only MMO I've been able to play is Runescape so I now want to "graduate" on to another game.
Here is what I have looked at (but not played) so far:
-Wow (reviews claim it is easy to learn but has a bad community)
-Lineage 2 (one review claimed it is essentially a bot-fest)
-LoTR (unknown)
-Guild Wars (unknown)
I am looking for a game based on how fun it is, endless grinding or endless combat bore me.

I have only ever played World of Warcraft. It has a large community and as such has many... undesireables. But it also has many great people. The game is easy to learn but complex enough to make you think. It is a very FUN game (which is the whole point of playing right?).
I have friends who play Guild Wars and have fun with it. The nice thing about it is it does not require a monthly fee (as far as I understand it). I have been considering getting it to play with them but I'm still kinda stuck on WoW.
My brother plays EVE Online and really really likes it. It's more spacey and is complicated to learn. But, from what he's said, the community is really really good and he has lots of fun with it.
i believe age of conan:Hyborean adventures release next month.I played EQ1 and starwars galaxies but its been a while since ive played a mmo.the most enjoyment i had was with nwn on a good pw.I havent tried nwn2 but that is what interest me most currently besides age of conan.Actually looking now i see release dates for this month and march of next year so im not sure when age of conan is being released.not much help...sorry.
You also might want to check out City of Heroes. I love that game, so that makes me a little biased. But I think you might like it.

WoW is good if you like a relatively simple fantasy fix. EQ2, while much more intensive on your hardware, is good if you want a more 'realistic'-looking game and don't mind that it can quite possibly take until the dark side of forever to get levelled up, and that there isn't nearly enough solo play content for when you can't find a group. EVE Online is an awesome, absolutely gorgeous game, but the learning curve can be steep and the first few days are likely to feel boring as hell if you go the 'safe' route of mining ore to buy a better ship. Guild Wars is a good game if you don't have a lot of cash to spare; you can go buy the game and never have to spend another cent, and it has three (soon to be four) interconnected story arcs, solo play or multiplay depending on how you group (each group gets their own instanced version of the explorable sections of the world). D&D Online has not exactly done much to appeal to me, I am afraid; the graphics were about as cartoony as WoW but as lagged as EQ2 when I tried it, and there is a definite need to group that can make it impossible to play at times. Ultima Online is... Decent, I guess. There are other servers set up that you can use the UO client to connect to and play in customized worlds. City of Heroes/Villains is good if you just want a heroic/villain fix and don't mind the fact that the storyline quests tend to follow the Typical Hero Path even if you're technically an evil villain; I think the worst I did as a villain was rob a bank. There are a plethora of free-to-play games like Maple Story and Trickster Online, but I'd only suggest those if you have a raging obsession for anime/chibi characters of disgustingly cute design.
For a quick and funny game I suggest Dungeon Runners. It is a free download from the same company tat makes Guild Wars and City of Heroes. You can play for free or pay $5/month to get membership status and have total access. It is fairly new I believe but I enjoy it.
I started playing mmorpgs with UO and loved it for several years until they completely changed it. I then took quite a break until Dark Age of Camelot. Then tried Star Wars Galaxies for a while then took another long break. I tried WoW but I did not enjoy it.
I've been toying with the idea of getting WoW- how bad is the community, exactly?
Can anyone cite a bad/good experience they've had?
|
The commnity isn't bad at all on most servers. Its only a few people who have bad experiences and complain to he whole world that Wow sucks, which it doesn't. Anyone who plays WOW is is mature realizes that it is quite an excellent game. I would suggest it to anybody. I would NOT suggest Guildwars, however. Some of my friends who never played Wow raved on and on about it, so I tried it. It never lived up to Wow's standards. Graphics, controls, easiness, funness: all sup-par.

I've played both. I prefer Guild Wars over WoW. I have also played on multiple WoW servers, and gotten quite sick of the people who will go follow me around trying to duel me when I'm in the middle of something else entirely.
That said, they are games for different play styles. Guild Wars is for people who like to solo; you can play almost the entire length of each story arc with just henchmen/Heroes, never needing to worry about some idiot deciding to run off in a different direction and aggro half a dozen really big, nasty monsters to come and eat you the way it happens in other MMOs.
Jeez...
The only MMO I can think of that will run on 28 kbps is Kingdom of Loathing...
Yes but I am finally getting DSL so won't have that problem anymore. Thus the reason that I ask about games like WoW and GWs.
Oh, and runescape plays fine on 28.8 kbps.

Sorry 'bout that...
I would probably suggest City of Heroes, as it is the only MMO I have played that is not boring (like Guild Wars), but doesn't eat up hours of one's time (like World of Warcraft).
well, I have played almost all of them; depends what you are looking for in a game; the wow community really varies a lot from server to server and guild to guild and even faction to faction as do prices of things for sale by players. You may find that RP servers tend to weed out most of the jerks; but there are pleanty of cool people on other servers as well. The game has a very large world and lots and lots of quests and classes to play with; you can probably play it for a year before you get bored, been playing since beta and I still have not done everything; hehe but almost. there are lots of dungeons, but you need full parties for them; and and endless number of quests for story threads to follow; you can grind or not as you desire; craft or not; i did just about every quest from every race from almost every class just to find out who the REAL bad guys and good guys are; was a bit surprizing. You can solo or group as you like for the entire game; some of the quests are mindless go kill 10 of these things; but some are good story lines. You never have to duel so just ignore duelers if you dont want to duel; duels mean nothing anyway. It is nice to have freinds to share gear as it makes life easier, but isnt required to have a good time. I play on about 10 servers and find they have very different communties.
Played LOTR but got bored with it pretty quick; only kept my interest for a couple months, was in beta for that one also. Many people like that you get a lot of titles, but I found the quests inconsequential and liked playing a warg the most even though they (the monsters you can play) are nerfed compared to other stuff.
Guild wars; well; played it to about level 15; did some pvp action; is ok; characters look great; like that you can hire npc's to fill your groups; but got bored with it.
city of heroes and villans is probably not for you; is endless mindless grinding most of the time though the character generator is very cool. All the characters are fun through level 15 but the game is retarded at 30+; I like the villans a smidge better, maybe because they are new. You dont feel much like a hero in the game as the heroes outnumber both the populous and the bad guys; the game has some very nice things, but you really dont feel like a hero much as they did the cookie cutter fighter, blaster, crowd control, rouge type thing you endelessly see repeated in mmorphs. The game does look cool though and the first time you get your movement power; it is exciting as is the first few times you try out a new power with a cool effect. I have a love/hate relationship with this game; is fun in small doses.
D&D online; well, it is not anything like D&D and I played it for about 4 months and finally quit as I grew to hate it. Can't really say anything positive about that game, i guess some of the dungeons are well drawn.
Played a lot more if you have any particular one on your mind.
the Conan game is supposed to have a lot of great quests with no mindless grinding; am kinda waiting for it and hoping to get into beta.

Guild Wars is almost like a traditional CRPG in that it has a storyline that—gasp—changes the world as you perceive it. It's very PVP-centric, though, so once you complete the storyline you're pretty much stuck doing PVP. That said, it's one of the most beautiful games out there (if not the most beautiful), but it suffers from not being able to jump by hitting the space bar. (Yes, I'm one of those players.)
City of Heroes is very pretty and has the best character creation and customization engine I've yet seen. I think maybe Oblivion competes with it for robustness in character creation, but even it can't compare with CoH. CoH suffers, however, from the monotony of the game and from the relatively high number of editorial and graphical errors in the world. (What? I'm an editor.)
World of Warcraft is also very pretty (in a way different from CoH and GW) and is ridiculously easy to play. You have to TRY to suck at it. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people I've met on WoW suck. The other players is what ultimately drove me from WoW. I can only have resources stolen from me so many times before I declare the game "not for me." (On the plus side: gnomes!)
Ragnarok is a Korean MMO that has a cute chibi-anime look, but it's kinda boring. And character creation choices are almost nonexistent. You get to choose your character's hair style and color. (That's it.)
Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons & Dragons Online both suffer from the insurmountable problem of being both Ugly and Boring. Seriously, just stay the hell away from them.

Yeah, I admit the whole thing about "This is a raised step. YOU HAVE NO WAY TO GET UP IT SO HAHA." is annoying there. But! It is gorgeous, and with three-soon-to-be-four storylines with fairly large areas and side quests to deal with, there's a fair bit of content to work through.
and you're not stuck with just one build for your character. Got a Ranger/Monk? You can, on alternate trips out, be a pure archer, a healer, a trapper, a smiting master, or whatever other design you want.
There's no such thing as a "good" MMORPG.
My brother plays EVE Online and really really likes it. It's more spacey and is complicated to learn. But, from what he's said, the community is really really good and he has lots of fun with it.
I would second this nomination. Played erratically for past 4 years or so, and I love that I do not have to grind to do anything but make in-game money. Generally, the community is quite good. The learning curve can seem daunting at first, although from what I've gathered "n00bs" have a much easier time of it now than the way it was 'back when'.
The other advantage is that the game itself is directly downloadable for free, and there has never been an expansion that was not a part of your subscription. The trial account gives you a couple of weeks to get your feet wet.
I personally avoid MMORPG forums as though they were biblical plagues, as most of the worst of the personalities I've ever encountered in an MMORPG are the most common 'forum trolls' (to use a polite term).
With the prevelance of trial accounts for MMORPGs, take advantage of those and see what you like and what you don't. That's what I do. :)
Best of luck and may you find your new niche!

Truth. They've added about 10x as much in terms of skill points for new characters, and moved new player start points out of places like The Pit of Infinite Lag (AKA Jita).
It is also an absolutely gorgeous game, and players really can have a lasting impact on the game, right down to news items from the developers via in-game news reports listing their exploits, and conquering large regions of space for their own corporate empires.

Hmm... I keep hearing good things about EVE. I'll have to check it out when I have more free time. Which will be after I finish this next big writing project. No... the bigger one after that. No... um...

Me too. The Internet and MMOs independently seem to bring out the worst in people. Combining them...

The only MMO I've ever played is WoW, and I've pretty much stopped playing any other video game ever since I started.
WoW is fun. There are parts that get monotonous and dull, but I just get through them quickly or do something else. For the most part, though, it's a lot of fun.
As for the "community" of WoW... Well, saying that WoW has a bad community is like saying the internet has a bad community. There are good people and bad people and they are all there. You just avoid (i.e. ignore) the bad people and find/hook up with friends.
Finding friends isn't terribly difficult, either. For example, I was starting a quest in the game the other day and saw a couple of other players in the same area I was in. I asked "Are you guys doing (quest x)?" They said yes and so we partied up and ended up running a whole chain of quests together for the rest of the evening. It turned out that they were nice people who were funny and fun to play with. They played their in-game roles well, and they didn't get angry/stupid if/when I made a mistake (which is my criteria for an enjoyable group). At the end they invited me into their guild, and I accepted. So far the guild has proven to be full of nice people who are fun to run with.
I have also had experiences where I partied up with people who were not fun. People who have no tolerance for a lack of experience/skill with the game. People who make stupid mistakes repeatedly and can't/won't take any advice on how to avoid the stupid mistakes. People who are just a#%%#~$s. Turns out... you just stop playing with these people. If they get really pushy, you put them on ignore. Then you just find a new group. I have found that (despite a few bad periods) the majority of experiences I've had are good experiences.
Two things help to have mostly good experiences with WoW:
Well... this was intended to be a quick note with an anecdote, but somehow I ended up standing on a soapbox. Weird.
Thanks,
cos
To compare and contrast Cosmo's post with mine, I think the Internet jargon YMMV sums it up nicely. :)
Sir McArtor, I think the general attitude exhibited in yours and Cosmo's replies to the OP are actually fairly relevant to table-top role-playing games as well.
As an additional note, should you or anyone else be interested in more information regarding EVE Online, post a reply here or send me an e-mail if you can look it up from my profile.
For me, the single biggest reason I continue to play EVE is simple: I do not need to play constantly to see my avatar improve. They do not do character improvement (skill training) on the basis of game play, it is deliniated by real-world time passage. At first, it goes quite rapidly, but as you get better and better, the RL time required gets substantially higher. At this point my avatar is hardly super filthy rich or well known or anything, but he is quite capable. The beauty of it, given the erratic availability of spare time to devote to game play in an MMORPG, is that I can set a 'train' and go away for as long as a month or so without worrying about a thing.

Speaking of Oursulag, Jeeetaaiiee! and other infamous death-by-lag-induced-boredom places, check a Google*video search for " 300 + EVE Online " for a home-brewed EVE-specific parody built onto the movie trailer. (There should only be one, and it's a couple of minutes long or so.) CCP themselves have produced some beautiful video trailers over the years, the last several of which are entirely from in-game video capture.
Hardly the reflection of the game as I play it, but with as many players as they generally have, some one's gonna be blowing up other people ... 23/7. ^_^

That reminds me of some quips I saw on OMGRAWR...
"The thousand men of the BOB Alliance descend upon you! Our Dreadnoughts shall blot out the sun!" -SirMolle
"Then our PoS's will fight in the shade." -Sparta Alliance
And yeah, I agree the video isn't indicative of how everyone plays. Low-security space can be a very adrenaline-pumping place to be. Nothing like being in a mining barge, your escort being AFK, and having some n00b in a Rifter show up and open fire on you. I am so very glad I have good drone skills... Rats or would-be pirates alike get fed to them.
Hmm... I keep hearing good things about EVE. I'll have to check it out when I have more free time. Which will be after I finish this next big writing project. No... the bigger one after that. No... um...

I dunno, I wrote about half of my 50k pseudo-novel in the in-game notepad during last November's National Novel Writing Month contest. EVE can be a very relaxing game, particularly if you're like me and you have a mining barge surrounded by a swarm of very protective drones pumped up by some good skills.

I've played Everquest, Dark Age of Camelot, City of Heroes/Villians and WOW, but I got burned out on traditional MMORPG's: too much of a time sink. That's why Guildwars is my game of choice for the last few years. I can not play for 6 months, then jump on for a special event or see what new feature they've added. Since there's no fee I don't have to feel guilty for not playing.
Kassil - yes indeed, good drone skills (which I am sorely lagging on training due to a dedicated effort to get ALL my Science skills to level 4) are worth the investment. Just wait 'til you get into an exhumer and flense people with your t2 drones ... it's pretty evil stuff.
Yeah, 0.0 isn't my thing per se, but it can be pretty exciting, especially on the weekends and holidays ... or during wars ... or even just roaming around in low-sec ... good times, good times. ^_^

Turin,
I downloaded the game last night and started up my 14-day free trial. So far I'm really enjoying it. I do love spaceships and economic simulations. I imagine I might occasionally go pirate hunting (after I get a better ship... maybe I should buy one not set up for mining) but for the most part I think the mining and manufacturing aspects of the game could keep me entranced for a good long time.
Yes, I'm weird. ;P

I absolutley love COH.
Played DDO, agree with Sebastion entirely. It is D&D flavored, but tofu can be meat flavored. Doesn't make it meat. Best part of DD0 was killing a CR 25 red dragon. Down side? It takes 10 level 12 characters to do it. And you fight the dragon on a space station. Yeah, a space station. Go Eberron.
I give my vote to WoW. Others have summed up the pros and cons of the WoW community. I can say this though!
Come to Suramar Server, play as Horde (more jerks in Alliance it seems) and join the guild Built Horde Tough. Look for a tauren named Cinderbottom. I'll get you in, no problem. Its a solid guild who's goal isn't PVP or End game raids, just to be a helpful, freindly social network.
Yes, I'm weird. ;P

Be sure to snoop through the Chronicles and what not on the website. The game has a lot of awesome story material to it, although as one guy said, "I didn't even read the backstory. I wemy 'Ooh, spaceships!' and joined up."

Oh please do Sir McArtor, look up your Paizonian junkies in game if you can. We'll hook you up as best we can. ^_^
The manufacturing/mining/research element of the game is enormous in its total complexity, 'specially if you get into station-based/moon mining stuff.
And yes, a rookie ship is not the most durable of hulls, especially when you are so new and squishy. They ARE fun though. :)
And hey, smooshing rats is ALWAYS fun - especially when you salvage the wreckage...
Spaceships?!? Did someone just say spaceships?

Of course, to get into stations and lunar mining, you need to be part of a fair-sized corp and willing to risk sizable amounts of ISK by venturing into low-sec space.
Rookie ships are awesome for dueling. Particularly if you and a buddy make a pair of Minmatar and see who can shoot out the other's duct tape first.
And salvaging is definitely a win. Pity that I can't really fit a salvager on my Covetor, otherwise I'd be a rich, rich man in slavage parts.
Spaceships?!? Did someone just say spaceships?
Yes. We said spaceships. From dinky little fighter-things to Titan-class ships that'd make a Colossal+ Red Dragon look like a little puppy.

How do I find my Paizonian friends out here in EVE space?
In my case, you add Khellias to your buddy list, or you come wandering over to the Amdonen system, where I make a habit of butchering any Kernite asteroids I happen across.

I got the EVE Online demo yesterday and started trying it out. It's pretty dang cool, I must say.
I am Fatwatai, a Calderi prospector (Achura bloodline). I'm pretty sure I spelled all that right. I've already gotten myself a better ship and some upgraded equipment. Mining in 1.0 Security zones is easy money! I'm currently kicking around in the starting area... I think it's called Tordori or something like that, but I've jumped to a few other stations to save money on a few key purchases when it was worth the time and effort to make the jump(s).
Good to see a few new people try out EVE. Yes, as far as I am aware, it is the only remaining space ship MMO in existence.
See you louts soon! (I hope)

How much is the monthly fee for EVE if I were to continue my subscription? Is it the industry-standard $15/mo.?
It is, indeed.
And yes, mining in 1.0 is easy money - but slow money. Veldspar and Tritanium are the iron of EVE - you need Trit everywhere, and Veld has the highest concentration, but there are so many more minerals of much greater profit...

Yeah, I spent about 5 hours playing last night. I got through all the starting tutorials, did a couple of missions for the starting agents, and mined like a mofo. I've mostly been mining Scordite, which is a pretty high-yield mineral for Tritanium and Pyerite (however it's spelled).
I bought an upgraded mining laser (EC1 Excavator or something like that), a new ship (Bantam), a mining drone (and the skills to use it), and a small capacitor booster (and the skills to use it) because my ship keeps running out of juice mid-warp on long hauls.
All-in-all, I'm not doing too bad for only having the game one day. My character kinda sucks at combat (as I learned fighting a couple of pirate drones), so I'm going to work on a couple of combat skills before I venture into more risky areas.

Would it be against some kind of copyright law if we decided to form an in-game corporation called 'Paizo.com'?
EDIT: Nevermind... it's against the EULA. It specifically says that you can't create companies in-game to mimick existing companies in the real world. Kind of odd, but I guess it's a CYA maneuver on behalf of the game's owners.
Still, that doesn't mean we couldn't create Paizonia Inc. or something along those lines....
