Favorite MMORPG

SuperNick · 10-14-2004, 11:02 PM

Hello all you good people out there!!

I just got a new computer and i am trying to decide upon a good mmorpg to play .
So i was hoping some of you could tell me your favorites and why i should start playing them.

Much Thanks

well, I'd say Earth and Beyond, but thats now defunct. However, City of Heroes is a pretty good game, and the developers seem pretty commited to keeping it going too. World of Warcraft looks promising, but it is a Blizzard endevor, and i've been disapointed by them before.

I can't really pick a favorite, seeing as how that leaves me with one game to choose from in the genre (I.E., only MMO I've played). I'm actively playing FFXI... lots of people here would probably disagree, but it's high-quality in my eyes.

Final Fantasy XI
Ultima Online (UOGateway)
Toadwater
Ragnarok Online (kadeRO, xRO, and many more)
Everquest (EQEmu)

All except FFXI don't nessecarily need subscription fees. Search around.

pay2play: none. I've never actually played an MMORPG that you pay for...

free: Mystic Journey (BYOND). Neoexdeath the Necromancer > j00.

EVE - Online. It's P2P but worth it, in my opinion. And you can get a 14 day free trail to see if you like it first. Not stereotypical RPG though, as it's based in spaceships and you don't level up (although you can increase skills, etc).

Raerlynn: With most of those you listed, though, it's very illegal to not pay the subscription fee.

Not that I've ever been scared of a few legalities or anything...

My choices goes to a.) City of Heroes for now and b.) World of Warcraft as soon as open beta is out (a few weeks).

Don't play any of them. MMORPGs are evil and will steal your soul.

Ehh, EverQuest was good...BACK IN THE DAY. So I guess my vote goes to World of Warcraft (when it comes out).
