MMORPGS - "The Fun(Grind) Never Stops"

[jinxhand]

SCREW YOU SONY!

It was bound to happen though... I mean think about it: the game is not cross platform, so there's no pc/ps3 action going on like in FFXI. PSN getting hacked didn't help the game out either. On top of that, when you compare this to the other Super Hero MMORPGs, Champions Online beats this out and even City of Heroes does leaps and bounds due to the many options available.

The game is still new, so I do see tons of room for it to grow. I played the beta, and I liked it alot. I just think that DCUO could've done better in terms of giving the players something more in terms of powers and other options. I do like how you can have a separate look while keeping different gear on. The Hero vs Villain pvp is ok, but honestly having 6 Batmen vs 6 Jokers can get monotonous imo... It's not like you can change what type of Batman you wanna be or change your skill set.

Lets see the first MMO I've played was Diablo 2 but that was way back in the early days of the game. The next game I actually touched was Cabal which can get boring from all the grinding, unless you have a good guild who runs dungeons all day. I played that for about 2 years on and off. After that I tried DFO on and off as well but didn't get too far into it. I kinda feel like playing it again though but not sure. I also played a good amount of Battle of Immortals. I love the event systems they have in the game. Though gettin all the good gear you nead is hard to get unless you are lucky or grind dungeons like mad. Then I tried Dragon Nest. Game is really fun. I also love the control setup it uses. I'm looking forward to Diablo 3. Also speaking of Diablo have you guys seen this game:

Path of Exile - The Witch
Path of Exile - August 2nd 2011 Gameplay Clip - Templar
The Duelist - Path of Exile
The Templar - Path of Exile

I think this game looks amazing for a F2P game. It's in closed beta atm but hopefully they announce a open beta date soon.

Edit: Also forgot to mention I'm playing a but of Rusty Hearts atm. So far it's not too bad.

I've been checking out Eden Eternal recently, and I think its a pretty good game. Here's the link:

Their Job system is pretty dope. You basically start off with one class, and you can switch to other classes on the fly, to suit your needs--- there is a recharge time though. You can unlock other jobs also while playing. Aside from the anime appeal, this game does seem pretty hardcore. There's currently only 3 races available, but the other 9 will be released at a decent pace.

I'm still tackling missions in Guild Wars so I can get those special items for Guild Wars 2. If any of you guys need help with that, send me a msg. I also do a bit of pvp...

I've seen clips of Eden Eternal. It doesn't seem bad. Is GW F2P? I've recently gotten back into DFO. I'm also waiting for the closed beta for War of the Immortals (aka Battle of the Immortals 2). If you guys like Diablo 2/3 style gameplay then check it out. Closed beta starts Oct 25:

Battle of the Immortals 2 - Trailer 1
Battle of the Immortals 2 - Trailer
War of the Immortals (CN) - Newbie footage Part 1
War of the Immortals (CN) - Newbie footage Part 2

GW is f2p, but it's one of those games you have to buy first then its free for life... There was a huge sale of the game on steam, and the game is still pretty cheap I believe...

If you're not sure just buy one of the games, then if you like it, just buy the rest. My suggestion though is to get Nightfall first, since it gives you access to heroes which are fully customizable and way better NPCs you can party with if you decide to NPC solo. Prophecies is good, but you're limited to henchmen, which are like heroes, but weaker.

You might be able to get it from the NCSoft Launcher from the site, too...

awesome

FFXIV looks dope, and I'm glad its finally gonna be coming to ps3, but they've still got lots of work to do... I don't see that sub plan working out too well imo... I'm pretty sure a bunch of cats are gonna jump ship...

I wish they just stuck with a way to beef up FFXI for new players and make it playable on those thin ps3s... Abyssea's great and all, but it has been taking away from every other aspect of the game... People barely know about pvping in that game...

can't wait for ver 2.0 even though it's a year away. no more seamless world which i don't mind since it will get rid of the repetitive terrain. i like the addition of female roegadyn, highlander and male miqote. time for me to catch up from the 6 months or so i lost playing kof xiii.

Looks like the closed beta for War of the Immortals got pushed back to Nov 2nd now.

Edit: Now it got pushed back to Nov 9th lol. Perfect World is really messing up.

EQ2 is finally becoming F2P; and no, EQ2X doesn't count at all... In fact, I think they're gonna do away with that altogether and take the DCUO F2P approach...

I tried War of Immortals and it's pretty much the same as Battle of Immortals. It has a few more classes compared to BoI. Still fun though.

So did a lot of people.  Funny enough, everyone stopped playing after they left middle school.  Doubt it's a coincidence.

Idk, I like RPG's, but I never was one for the MMORPG, though of course my desktop sucks and my laptop isn't exactly top of the line.  Also, never really got the allure.  The Old Republic seems neat though.
