I sometimes wonder if my fond memories of EQ1 were only because it was something so new. I played that thing for 2 years.
It was really hard core and I loved it. Everything now is so "casual gamer friendly" which basically means "unchallenging"

I played WoW for a good chunk of the summer, and I'm going back when I get breaks and whatnot from school (like summer and the month between semesters around Christmas). My main is Kotala (horde) on Smoulderthorn, though I also have Athing (alliance) on Bloodhoof and Bodhg (alliance) on Bronzebeard

I used to play WoW, but decided it required too much time to form parties and level up at the higher levels. So I switched to Guild Wars, and it has no monthly fee Posts: 684 | Registered: Aug 2001

Tom: It gave you time to get to know your group/guild members. And there was a serious death penalty. And the rewards seemed much more rewarding since they were so rare (at least in the early days)
I've taken to dabbling in end-game instances. Fun, but I still prefer onces that can be completed by a single group. Though my current challenge is to join a guild named "Clan of Redundancy Clan". Don't know why, but that's just a good guild name.

Player vs. Environment MMORPG usually are quite boring. City of Heroes got to be the same way. For instance, when you're whaling on the guards in a corridor and their friends are further up the corridor but do nothing...gets kinda dull. I want things like guards who run for help BEFORE they're nearly dead, and not at a totally predictable and not always in a totally random direction. Better AI in other words. You can get that in a single-player game sometimes, to an extent, but in an MMORPG...just can't happen.
That's why you play on a PvP server:) Becomes much, much more challenging when you've got to watch your back to prevent being killed, and kill others.

I played for two months around Feb and spent a ton of time in it. Then I dropped it for about five months. Just started again a couple weeks ago to kill some time. I'm better about managing time with it, I only log in every few days.

NEHunter Perelandrea on dark iron. just started lvl 18
Yeah, I was talking to one of my friends, and he said I've gone to the dark side of gaming. MMO's.
Every few days the way to go with the "rest" aspect of the game. I'm interested in WoW because of PvP, especially Battlegrounds.

Heh, well I had to do something unproductive between work I love being on a PvP server because it suddenly becomes a challenging time-sink.

And incidentally, I think some Hatrackers might appreciate this...on Burning Blade my characters are members of the 'Communist Pirates' guild. Our tabard is a jolly roger on a red background. And our guild leader is, of all things, Imhôtep, the Pharoah.
