damn MMPORG's

Phate · 2 Mar 2006 at 00:06

ok my main MMPORG was City of Heroes but now i have 5 charactors on the max level im pretty sturdy on all missions no matter what my team needs so im getting bored of it.

now my collegue who is a heavy eve fan had been playing it since the betas and stopped playing it after playing it for about a year and a half because he simply didnt have the time, and back in september he started playing again, and he introduced me to it by giving me a 30 day free trial, and i started playing it and was subscribed to it for about 3 months, and when he ran out of time again i kinda lost interest being in space on me own lol, and cancelled my subscription,

now another collegue of mine plays final fantasy,

see im tempted to go back to eve, because i mean i found mining very theraputic lol but i would be tempted to give final fantasy ago,

just wondered what people reccomended and hope they can help me decide!!! lol

cheers people

I've currently got Coh/Cov and Guild Wars on the go, personally i think they're vastly different and since GW is sub free its nice to have 2 good games for the price of one so to speak.

Also helps that its a superb game, i'd thoroughly recommend it, i got bored of WoW and CoH is starting to become rather repetitive, but GW keeps my imagination going, its got such a clever skill system where you can have up to 150 skills in the lifetime of your character, but can only use 8 at a time, and so have to customise your character to suit each mission (you cant change in the middle).

WoW and CoH for me both bore down to the same thing...skill 5, then skill 2, then skill 7, heal a bit, repeat the process.

GW is so different to any other mmorpg i've played so far.

lol 78 days sums up that game.... those asian people sure know how to grind

warcraft is a lot easier than that... and unless u have 78 days free is a more basic option (i got to 60 in 16days worth of play time and im sure it could be done a fair bit faster if u tried)

saying that i dont even have the time for warcraft anymore so am considering giving mmo's a rest for a while (until the next huge one comes out, or the expansion

)

you got to 60 in 16 days? How did you manage that? I've been questing flat out non stop for that long and im not even 40 ?

I'm 48 in 6 days on my alt. It's easy to get to 60 that fast.

Camalot · 2 Mar 2006 at 12:25

lol ? Anyone wanna tell me how that is possible other than doin quests non stop? (which i already do)

He means /played time, which is the amount of hours that he has actually been logged into the game with each character. Just type /played in at the console.

My first character, a Shaman took about 14 days played to 60.
My second character, a Priest took 10 days.

I'm a pretty casual player with most xping done solo, so you can do it a lot quicker than that if you wanted.

Eve online cant be beat really, since there is no lvl 60 to reach. Massive number of players online at any one time. If you fancy it, give me a shout ingame under Commander Solo.
