Hey, guys.
I played Wow a few years ago, and I just started getting into Star Wars, the old republic,
I tried Lord of the Rings online, a while ago, but it didn't do much for me,
but I am really enjoying Star Wars, it seems to have a lot in the way of story, and I really like the graphics, and the mechanics, so far.
Of course, you never REALLY know until you get to the max. level.
So.. are you playing an MMO now? What do you like about it?
 
Used to play WoW since alpha, but stopped about a year ago. Used to play Star Wars when it came out, but since they went free to play, the restrictions are just ridiculous, and I'm not willing to pay another subscription. I have a max level character, but I can't do anything with her unless I pay.

Tried FF14 (beta), but it was just the same as any of the others, so not really that interested. Been in the first Wildstar Beta and I know people are raving about it, but it totally didn't impress me. It's more like a jump and run than an MMO.

I quite enjoyed Neverwinter, if you can put up with getting things that you can't use unless you pay for it - I just throw stuff out and play the base game, and I like the mechanics (active defence etc). Same goes for Rift, another game I'm playing occasionally - very similar to all the other MMOs out there, but I like the whole idea of rift events etc.

My absolutely favourite is The Secret World though. I love the combat mechanics, the freedom of fighting style and weapons, the variety of talent trees etc., but more than that, the fact that it is not just the usual 'get me 10 of these and 10 of that and then come back' kind of questing. There are puzzles, riddles, stuff that actually makes you use your brain while playing. Unfortunately, that's also the reason why it doesn't have the largest player base - apparently for a lot of 'average' MMO players, it's too 'difficult'....*snort*.

What I loved about SWtoR was the decision wheel, having the ability to determine the direction your character goes into (good/bad), and no other game has really picked that up yet. Incidentally, that was apparently one of the major factors that stopped people from playing, since there was 'too much text' to read, and apparently the average MMO player just wants to press buttons and kill things. :/

I TOTALLY know what you mean! When Wow started an everyone would moan about questing, and then everyone downloaded the quest finder mod that told you EXACTLY where to find stuff, because figuring out where "left of the 3rd house on the road" is just TOO hard. OMG>.... can't believe how much Wow got dumbed down from the original.
Thanks, San, this is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.
BTW....... IMO..... if you like a game, you should consider paying........ a game needs to be supported if they're going to continue to release expansions, monitor spammers, bots,... etc.
 
I play Secret world, Guild wars 2 occasionally, and *cough*wow*cough*
Tried rift, Swtor, neverwinter and some of the other games out there, but they didnt really interest me that much :3 Lotro was fun when it came out though.
 
SWTOR is by far my favorite, and yes I also play WoW sometimes :p
