Discussion, heard of it? what do you think of it?

I know from my own personal opinion, I like blizzard. But the monthly fee, though no more expensive than any other paid MMO, was a substantial commitment. Not to mention just the cost of the game. But as good marketers do, they offered a free trial. Having heard many wonderful things I decided to try it. I wanted to see if it was worth 15 a month if I was going to overly abuse it and probably only play a couple hours a week. Well I was up all night playing, so much for strength of will. Though it is a lesson for the future . But I honestly enjoyed the game, and would now consider buying it (exactly as Blizzard intended ). I was wondering if anyone else had an opinion...

I heard of it, and played it. But it took to much of my time, at a certain moment I stoped working on school projects and other school thingy's.....wich is pretty stupid. So i decided to stop playing that game and start playing Guild wars....It has no monthly fee and that allowed me to stop playing whenever i wanted to

I did really enjoy the game it was an excelent experience ,but school first in my book.....

yup, have to make sure it doesn't consume my time.

I played WoW when it first came out. I've got a couple of level 60 characters on the Alliance side.

The game itself is good. One of the best MMORPGs out there and if you're into Fantasy games, it's certainly one to play. But the higher you get the more dependant on others you become. If you don't make a lot of friends and join active guilds, you will be reduced to basic items and no real option to upgrade your gear once you're high.

The level cap on the game is a joke. I don't think a game should have a level cap that can be reached. When I reached the level cap on two of my characters there wasn't much to do other than PvP and constantly bug people to group instances.

A new expansion is due out soon, called Burning Crusade, which will add some new races and a bunch of new maps and such. You will also have to pay for this ontop of the monthly subscription.

The downside to most MMORPGs is the amount of time you have to invest in order to progress. This is one of the reasons why I didn't stick around for years playing it lol

If you have very little time and want an MMORPG that allows you to level a character in real time, so you can gain skill levels offline, and actually spend your online time playing - playing...then Eve Online is certainly worth checking out. Eve is a Sci-Fi based MMORPG and it is the largest MMORPG single server game online. There's over 30,000 users on the same server, in comparison to World of Warcraft's 2,000 user limit and over 3,000+ huge maps to explore.

Eve also comes with a 14 day free trial and if you like it, you don't have to buy the game, you can just pay to play.

For those of you into MMORPGs and want a game that doesnt take up all your time - check it out at EVE Online - a massive multiplayer online roleplaying space game - MMORPG

Here's a trailer of the latest free expansion, which includes all in-game footage...

Yes the graphics are that good lol

If anyone wants a free 14 day trial code PM me and I'll send you all the info you need to get started. I'll also be kind enough to let any Biorust member join my corporation (guild) and give you some money/ships/items to get you started.

it's an interesting thought. I think I can keep control on my playing time by filling up the other time with other work

Ive seen and heard it before, I didn't sign up because of some "money" problems at that time But maybe I will sign up in the future.....At the moment playing oblivion is enough for me.
