Not sure if anyone here does, but looking for someone to play MMO's with. I'm intending to get Star Wars The Old Republic come December, and I currently play LOTRO.

[Vithar Megilaglar]

Never really played MMOs, and all the ones I see myself liking...aren't free. Even so, though, never got into MMOs as a whole. Not my thing. If they had a really nice singleplayer mode, though, I'd be game.

I was considering LotRO, but the download never worked for me, so that's probably not happening any time soon.

[ThElderGod]

Well since it's gone F2P they made the download much easier to download. I recently re-downloaded it, and it took about 25 minutes if it's worth your time. Pretty fun, just wish I had someone to play it with.

[Lyon]

That download doesn't work out well for me... took at least 25 minutes before it froze, and that was out of an estimated 6 hours...

Also, TEG, you should be on MSN right now.

Let me log off of LOTRO XDD

A majority of MMO's I dislike, but League of Legends is actually pretty fun, it just gets kind of old after a while.  I am kind of looking forward to the Old Republic, as it looks like one of the first MMO's I might be able to completely enjoy.

The only recent MMO I played was Dungeon Fighter, which is a F2P game that is actually really fun if you have a good connection.  It's what happens when you cross an anime styled beat 'em up with MMORPG.  Again, it gets kind of old after a while, but it's still relatively fun.

When the Old Republic comes out, WE ABSOLUTELY have to play it - together. Oh boy, donning my saber next to Chef - never thought I'd see the day. >=3

I'm currently with Grand Fantasia, and I refuse to leave it. Old Republic doesn't do it for me.

[Durandal]

Global Agenda, Neo-Steam, World of Tanks, Alliance of Valiant Arms. I will likely get Star Wars : The Old Republic.

[ThElderGod]

So I take it you play Global Agenda through Steamworks?

[Durandal]

Aye lad, as well as Alliance of Valiant Arms. STEAM's a nifty piece of software.

If you're lookng for MMOs, there are a lot that are availible.

DC Universe online (Going free to play in October)

Bright Shadow

Actually that's all I got, but Bright Shadow is completely free and really well done.

[Durandal]

If anyone's looking for a neat, up-and-coming MMO that isn't either fantasy or sci-fi, then I urge that you click here for a To-be-announced MMO. Just look and see for yourself, I bet you'll like it.

[Lyon]

Damn, that does look spiffy...

[Vithar Megilaglar]

Looks good, but I'm no MMO player.

I hope this isn't such a bad necro...

I'd honestly say that F2P games end up costing a whole lot more than P2P games. You really get shafted in free-to-play games if you don't waste heaps of money on a cash shop. And of course, free-to-play games have a whole lot less moderation and more bugs that stay unfixed for ages. The whole F2P model functions on making all the games disposable. Of course pay-to-play games would look more desirable, because they're made to be that way. I'm mostly just a free-to-play gamer and I accept them for their flaws. I'd play a pay-to-play game, but none have really gauged my interest enough.
At the moment I guess I play Prius and Mabinogi. I did play Flyff a lot at one point but I don't really play it anymore (but I guess I would if I had enough motivation). I do want to try The Secret World when it comes out though.

I have really slowed my pace on, but still do play Grand Fantasia. I still find it enjoyable, but I have no time with all of my schoolwork intervening.
