Do you play more that one MMORPG?

You could try eve, less of a grind mmorpg, but looking at your list i'd say your a fantasy man, so maybe eve isnt going to be your thing

Which ones? And how do you have the time!

I play WoW and Vanguard atm, but very casually.

Normally during the day instead of doing uni work, then I can go out in the evening

Nobody takes the "journey" seriously, they group just to get as many XP as quickly as they can and not because getting a group together for an evening can just be generally good fun even if youj don't go to one of the five places that everyone else goes to.

I'm sure something new will come out soon that will make me as excited as those first few days on UO - well I live in hope.

Thats one of the reasons that i love eve, each skill takes a set amount of time to learn and there is no grinding, it allows for more interaction between players for fun than just for levelling.

UO was an amazing game, i played one of the earlier versions but whenever i try and log into a free shard its changed so much that i just cant get into to it.

Fingers crossed for the SWG Emu though

i would disagree on the negative part of that, lineage 2 was the biggest grind fest game EVER, and i had a lvl 76 SK (dark elf tank) which took me well over 2 years to get, and during that time, the parties back in the cruma days (if you played thegame you would undertsand) were simply the best, always a laugh. miss it so much

not like it anymore though

I play EQ2 and Vanguard and also still dabble with EQ and SWG.

SWG just for the Nostalgia as the game is a mere shadow of its former glory..

Lineage 2 was one of the few that I never tried so really can't comment on that one

BloodWolf · 19 Mar 2007 at 01:06

really bad, i tried jedi and hit lvl 14 and i was taking down creatures that used to take groups of experienced players to kill.

I loaded an old wookie character and made him a smuggler.....boring.

Although i did take down a krayt dragon! it took 20 mins with a rubbish rifle at lvl 25, just kept running round in circles shooting at it.

Also tried to make an engineer/trader building houses but its absolutely impossible to level up. I hit jedi lvl 14 in 4 days, hit trader lvl 5 in 8 days!!

Just going to wait on SWGEmu, their Pre-CU test server recently had 400+ people on with little lag. Cant wait to try it out
