Dragoon Knight Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Did you read the rest of the thread, gerbilpoo? :)The fact they're releasing one expansion pack per year can be seen as bad either way; either it's a lack of new content (only getting new stuff once per year?) or it's a hefty price to pay. Of course, some people could argue that it's good, but my views are somewhat set on the issue.Seriously, if you want to play a decent MMORPG, buy World of Warcraft (my suggestion) or EVE (Gunwounds' suggestion). :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerbilpoo Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 i don't want to play an exellent MMORPG, i want to play a good MMORPG that doesnt cost much.i accept that WoW is better than Guild Wars, but guild wars is a hell of a lot cheaper. GW is the poor mans WoW, and i am poor :(and as for the lack of new content, there are free updates every week or so with 2 new areas coming in the next few weeks. Rune traders have been added, PVP reward system, Scrolls, new trading materials ect.You seem to hate GW, you should accept that it is a good game. not exellent, but value wise...

Dragoon Knight Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 You're right in saying that WoW is superior to Guild Wars, but what I'm saying is that you get what you pay for... and with Guild Wars, you can bet you'll be paying a lot before long. If I've put across the impression that Guild Wars is crap, then I'm sorry. I merely wanted to point out that compared to WoW, it is very poor. :)Hosting servers isn't free, and paying developers to come up with new content doesn't come cheap, either.

Cyborg Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I loved Guild Wars before I got World of Warcraft, and I loved it for the exact same reasons as gerbilpoo.However, one day I found myself in the situation of having enough money to play World of Warcraft. I need not say more. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragoon Knight Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Then I shall pass on my secret method of earning money without having a job!The trick is to go around asking everyone for 5 pence for [insert random reason here]. If you're really audacious, you could ask for 10 pence! But think about it... you ask enough people on a busy high street / school / other public setting, and you're gonna have a lot of change. After that, just stick it all into bank bags, and stroll up to your bank to get them turned into Pound coins or notes of higher value. :DGuaranteed success, I tell you! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Also getting other people to buy you drinks will seriously slash your expenses, its a bit harder though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyborg Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 It's not hard getting free drinks.At parties, people are often drunk, and you can just go right into their bags and take their drinks. They don't remember the next day either.I actually have a very wild, thought true, story about this. We sometimes throw parties in the name of the school theatre. Everyone at school is invited, and after the party, some people go back to the school to spend the night. This party is renown for getting out of hand. Personally, I can't even remember how the party building looks like, because I've been too drunk even before I get to the place. A friend of mine, and his friend (also a friend of mine) took the liberty of taking the drinks of the people spending their night at school, and selling them back to the drunkards. This is not a joke. The stupids actually bought their own drinks! What made this possible was that those two guys and I had been making a ticket booth for selling theatre tickets. But when we were done, it looke more like a bar counter. So we wrote ticket bar on the front. This made it very suitable of selling beverages, which was actually taken advantage of. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedDuke05 Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 I just came back from vacation in Colorado 2 days ago and while I was at a friend's house I was able to try World of Warcraft. Now I want it badly but I don't really have to money to pay for the stupied fee. I wish there was a yearly subscribtion like they have at xbox live.

TheRedDuke05 Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 Hey whats the chepest MMOLG thats worth getting? And in WoW can you lead armies or companies or even platoons to take over villages? If you can't I doubt that I would want it for very long. And that trailers was intersting and reminds me of Homeworld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryorama Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Gunwounds:I have been playing WoW since release. I have four level 60s. I am not bored yet.If you played it in beta, you have played NOTHING. I have Guild Wars and WoW, I personally think Guild Wars is trash. Although Guild Wars doesn't require a monthly fee, the PvP, questing, ect is crap.I maxed out levels in Guild Wars in 1 week. I don't really have anything else to say.I'm also guessing you play on an EU server Cyborg/Dragoon Knight ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoon Knight Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I do, yeah :) Leivan; Level 53 Night Elf Druid; Draenor, EU. Got Blue XP all the way to 55 as far as I can estimate. :PAnd I've been playing since April. Boy are Druids hard to level. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be one of the few people who are easily amused or just happens to like the lore of WoW... but most gamers out there will stick WoW back on the shelf after 3 months. Its just not a game thats designed for years and years of enjoyment. A game like EVE you could play for 10 years and never get bored.... almost everyone who plays EVE has or knows someone with a 2 year old character.... i doubt 2 years from now you will find anyone from WoW still playing.... probably only the most hardcore will.... while in EVE it is commonplace to find a veteran character who is the original creator.AS far as guildwars is concerned i agree with cyborg and the rest that its trash. Its not evenly a real MMO in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedDuke05 Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 What they need to make is a MMO that lets people be anything they want to be, from high possitions such as president, king, commisar, emperor, to the lowly janitor.Soldiers can be commanded by a general in RTS style but the soldiers can mutiney if they think the commander's order is suicidal. Nukes would be useable though aren't recommended due to the fact that the other side probably has them too.Also people could rebel agaisnt their government in any way possible. Though I doubt this type of game will ever be made, Dune Generations seemed to be almost exacatly what I just said abouve, but it got canceled :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNWOUNDS Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Alot of MMO's do that.... in many MMO's you can choose to be the leader of a guild or one of its generals or one of its crafters or builders.... in most MMO's you choose your destiny..... so i dont see what you are getting at.

TheRedDuke05 Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 Your not listening, I mean you should be able to own an entire nation, not some guild. And in MMO you can't use nukes or use RTS like things to command soldiers in the battlefield. And as far as I hear, people can't overthrow their national government like we Americans did or the Soviet Union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNWOUNDS Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 actually that is available in EVE..... you can do territorial control and they have corporation governments as well as alliance governments... basically the same thing as a nation. You can create and setup outposts, starbases, etc, etc. And yes they have weapons of all types including weapons with nuclear payloads.And you can overthrow an alliance government if you are powerful enough like the DDC corporation did to the Xetic alliance.
