First MMORPG

[b (thats it)]

EVE! Just started a couple days ago and its my first MMORPG as well. The tutorial is very good (if a bit long) and introduces the basics really well. Plus you dont have to spend huge amounts of time at it if you dont want because you dont have to be playing to train skills.

For a fun, easily accessible pick-up-and-play game, I'd say CoH beats WoW. It certainly hasn't got the depth - but its huge fun, easy to play, easy to get groups and with the 'sidekick' system you can play with any of your mates at any time, no matter what your level is.

I wouldn't touch WoW with a bargepole unless I knew some people who were playing it - I only play with my personal mates now - the community is the worst I've ever come across.

City of Heroes/City of Villians is very easy to get into, more of a a MMORPG lite, it focus' a lot on combat, but combat is fast paced and enjoyable.

It's also a break from the usual fantasy, dragon slaying stuff

Eve was my first and I've been playing for almost a year now. To be honest its so different from most of the other games out there I don't really see how playing WoW for a bit will prepare you for it, just jump straight in!

It's actually around 17million now I heard

Where'd you hear that?
Not arguing it, just interested because any link saying that would be very handy

The last I read in a magazine, it was closer to 4-6 million, and YES, that does include subscribers in the Far East too

If you do decide to give AO a go give me a shout (that goes for anyone) I'll try and help you out. A bit short of cash at the moment as I just bought a Yalm (although the cash should soon build up). Certainly could help out with some items and knowledge though
