[Martypops]

No release date as yet, so what to play now?
What's the best free MMORPG right now in your opinion?
Ignore Guild Wars (all 4), Last Chaos, Shaiya, Conquer and Eve as am bored with them.
Gimmie a game to try

[amz181]

I would tell you about the best MMO ive ever played but its gone *sob* Im kinda stuck for game atm aswell, i usually jus pwn a load of people at gunz or Warrock, but apart from that havent found nytink else thats really all that good... Ohh and i started playing morrowind again, its such a good game! I mean theres a strip bar with a dancing cat, i mean come on, its so coool

[Lord Aries]

I'm looking forward to Age of Conan for the reason to try out dx10 in an MMO only.

I may dabble with The Agency a little bit.

Once we get in the Beta stage of Kaos War I'll hang out there every single day and give people a hard time. I'll be trying to interact with as many people as I can.

Free to play I usually just go with Gunz only problem is the hands start to cramp up after a while.

I also play vanguard in the begining it was mind numbing grinding but now well it's getting closer to WoW-atized. Don't really like it but have nothing else better to do.

[Mister Matt]

LOTR Online is pretty good.

How about we set up a little match, i really want to kick some1s behind i know (well kind of know)

[Moloch]

Couple of the Devs were the core from the cancelled MSGS PvE MMO Mythica. Great guys, superb community involvement, dedicated gamers and Devs. It was a sweet looking game with some promising adult concepts (the necro class' first pet was the demon of a drowned baby!), but was killed by MSGS in favour of the 'appeal' of Vanguard, which MS, in turn, killed - for the obvious reasons.

I remember trading words with anyuzer over that one ... lol.

And then I alpha'ed GW - what a mess it was back then.

Are you saying Microsoft killed Vanguard?

[Lord Aries]

Are you saying Microsoft killed Vanguard?

No.

[Moloch]

'Killed' as in the sense that they dropped it as a title, allowing SOE to step in.

Oh, ok.

[Darthorious]

I did hear a rumor that MS made them start over from scratch 6 months before release/testing because they didn't like the direction the game was taking. Don't know how true it was but just happened to hear it. Or what they meant by starting over. Maybe just charc. classes and missions I don't know.

[amz181]

Darth, cing as were both online, do you wanna play gunz, i sent you a pm.
and remeber the post is actually on-topic

Anyway Tabula Rasa has a free 3 day trial version I've been trying the past couple days

[amz181]

i know, i sent you a pm aswell :(

No.

As far as a game, I'm enjoying Tabula Rasa pretty much atm. After Bioshock and Crysis, it's fit right in.

[Spartan]

As it is now, my job is to play games, I can't step away from Warhawk. Its just so well rounded with ground/air combat, its just to hard not to play it, even when told to play WoW, I play warhawk.

Haze is next on my list though, 4 player co-op is a huge plus.

Borderlands is also on the list for this years must haves.

[Ziegler]

well...I am waiting on Age of Conan.....rated M....blood...severed limbs...topless chicks.......


yeah...I am down with that...


and Brad killed Vangaurd with his drug abuse. Nobody else is responsible....do some searching around and you'll find the former developer that basically spelled it all out.

you should really think about taking a dark turn with kaos war, and consider the Rated M setting. The average gamer age is 25 or some such....well over 18.

[amz181]

Im not usually a person to play 2D games, but omg! This game is good, i dont know what it is, but i just love it, its called cave story (Its single player) and its great, google it if your interested, now im off to play it.

[Yoyoyo]

Lately I have been looking into Vendetta-Online (http://www.vendetta-online.com) if anyone is interested in a space MMO with fps-style controls.

[hanstin]

Still playing wow i guess

[a chewy rock]

I'm gonna try this game out and I'll let you know if I like it.

if u like that sort, try allegiance, its besciacally the same but free, and only 70MB which im really stumped about because it isnt really crappy looking, or that the games crap.

[Rauko]

I've been playing Lord of the Rings Online. Its very nice looking and has some great gameplay.
It doesn't have the size/content of Wow, but its been out less than a year and they've added 33% more content than it started with already, so its still growing and theres new things to do every couple months. And if anyone tries to tell you that LotRO "doesnt have PvP" don't listen. They've just done it a different way. New updates to that lately and I've been having fun playing my spider and killing players on their elves, dwarf, hobbits and men.

While I agree with pretty much everything you said, MvP just isn't the same as PvP. Although MvP is still fun.

[Ravik]

Horizons was a fun game, but I'm probably gonna stick to free games for a bit. Still wanna buy CoD4

havent you bought it yet? Im bored of it already :p I went back to zelda TP again :D

[a chewy rock]

How can you not have CoD4 yet. It's the most amazing game ever and I'm not sure how amz181 got bored of it. I'm so good at that game online. Loose Treebark is my gamertag if you want to add me.

your impressed to easily, zeldas the most amazing game and if your on about shooters, for me, its bioshock.

Crysis? TF2?

[a chewy rock]

Bioshock is not that good! It was good for 1 play through and that's it. Also, Zelda games are amazing.

And hanstin, I've still not played Crysis but I hear it's not that great of a game except for the visuals. Basic shooter. I haven't actually played it so don't yell at me. TF2 is pretty cool but I don't have it.

Crysis was short but it has mass replay value and was extremely fun. MP is a bit chaotic though.

meh, opinions, i still think bioshock was gr8. But nyways, my respect for you has increased sevenfold thanks to your agreement that zelda is amazing, as it truly is. ;)

I prefer COD4 to Crysis. Crysis for me has only one pulling point, the graphics, apart from that, its your average run in the mill game. COD4 has good graphics also (though not as good) and has great multiplayer and the single player campaign is good aswell, tho the multiplayer overshadows it.

ANYWAY!!! I found a game tham im really quite excited about

florensia.eu

Its a F2P MMORPG with cash shop (I know some of you have a supreme ditaste for F2P games, but remember its just about to enter beta, and there wont be any problems) Its about to enter closed beta.

The game itself includes a very interesting sea+land combo, allowing you to be a pirate at see and an aristocrat on land. It uses WASD, and i cant be bother to say ny more so check out the site if your interested (nothing on kaos war obviously) :p

[a chewy rock]

I'll have to try out that Florensia game. It looks pretty good.

I loved the cod4 single player shamefully it was way to short

[amz181]

I loved the cod4 single player shamefully it was way to short
thats the main reason i said it was overshadowed, i live the felling you get when you and your men just run through the city, but like u said, too short.

Chewy> It looks good doesnt it, it really attracts me fore some reason, and its not the boats, i wasnt attracted that much to pirates of the burning sea... But nyway it looks gr8. Join the forum if you like, im amz181 there aswell

[a chewy rock]

I signed up but never got an activation email for my account. Also, I'll check again, but they have to accept you into the beta at this point right or is the client there to freely download?

[Tyr]

florensia.eu

I'll try that.

[Darthorious]

I've been playing Cabal Online for about a month. Closed beta then open beta.

It goes live tomarrow at 4pm central.

Anything with a charecter level cap of 175 has got to be a grind but it actually was pretty quick getting to lvl 80 for me.

F2P and basicly pvp game. channel 7 encourages PKin other players as you get honor points for it. Any other channel you lose honor points.

That being said your lvl doesn't show to other players nor your buffs. So you might be pkin a lvl 80 in lvl 10 gear and it seems really well balanced any class can beat any other class it just soley depends on you game play experiance and if you can find their weakness.

there's a ton of video's of it on youtube to see what it's like. And bladders are way over rated lol.

Had one try and PK my war. After he unleashed every thing I was at 1/2 hp and just hit a potion back to full HP his only comment, "OMG I was just kidding" and turns and runs. He was lucky I was more into finishing my quest otherwise he would have died quickly lol.

atm, it looks like they'll distribute codes through email to the "chosen ones". But dont worry, the CB wont last for more than 2 weeks, and we can look forward to mass content even if we dont get in, to while away the time.

Sign up for the forum aswell ;) you too tyr.

Darth> I tried cabals OB aswell, but for me it fell into the "nothing special" comlumn

[Trustinkum11]

I was thinking the same thing because one year ago i started Guild Wars in the summer holydays and it was awesome so now i started wow for this summer xD!!

[reddo]

I got myself an account and I'm getting the CB client for the game. I think it actually might be fun. (wait, what?)

EDIT: I found this game a while back. It's caled Lunia. It's got a linear storyline, so it's like the grind is invisible.

[bigcracker]

Age of conan right now is a let down.... :[

hmm lets see Rohan online, RF online, Exteel, Voyage Century, Perfect World (tons of quests), Reppels, World of Kung Fu, Navyfield, Kuma Games, Swords of the new world, Archlord, Age of conan, and 9 Dragons

I've played Archlord a bit, its fun but the process involved to get to purchased items is crazy long so I gave it up.

[reddo]

I'm going to stick with the oldies. Today I'm gonna play D&D with some buddies for the first time :D

[jimmy6154]

D&D = a lot of fun!

[Avacon]

aint that the truth. also the ingame items for most games i have found are so expensive for a chance to get a rare item possibly but highly unlikly. for a major unhappy deal for shiaya online is the fact you could pay over $50 usd for one item on there item mall that has a 20% chance of being a completly useless item 5% chance of being a epic and 1% chance of it being for you charecter class.

[hanstin]

Still playing wow...

[Moloch]

The NDA allows me to say that there is a WAR beta, and that my guild and I are in it.

[Fraya713]

theres a game that Nexon America made, Combat Arms, its a free FPS for all those who like FPS's, it plays kind of like CoD4 and Counter Strike. Its pretty good, my gamer tag is -vAs-CoMMie for anyone wanting to look me up


btw, did i mention is was free?

google: combat arms

[amz181]

Fraya! where have you been!

Ill try it out, ive seen it before but i thought it was P2P. Im downloading now.

Is it laggy? Because i used to play Warrock, another mmofps, and after beta it got really laggy.

[Rhiannon]

Thanks for the suggestion...So bored and no games to play. Combat arms I am gonna try out ^.^

[a chewy rock]

Combat Arms is mediocre. It's pretty good/fun to play for a free online FPS though.

[amz181]

I realised why i didnt play it before...

ITS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR AMERICA!!!!! :(:(:(:(
and austrailia

I was looking around on the forums, and it seems the games fell to the hackers already, and the condition of the forums themselves.

There are more than a few threads, dedicated to seeing how good the mods were.

One thread has a very large picture of a woman without any clothes, and its been going for about a week

CHEWY ROCK and RHIANNON

play TREMULOUS!!! (tremulous.net)

It is amazing. It doesnt have great graphics (its a mod of the quake 3 engine) but the gameplay is brilliant! Its a totally new concept pitting humans against aliens. Its a MMOFPS/RTS and its great, you both have bases and you have to build them up, and the other team has to destroy it. That itself is unique, mixing an RTS with a FPS. Another feature is the evolution mechanic. After getting kills, an alien can evolve into a better alien. And for humans they get credits for kills and can buy new equipment.

Its an amazing game. Please join!!!

If you do, play on a game room called AA (its near the top) its always on the easiest map to navigate, and i always play there.

Masive Action Game it aired at E3 this year and saposedly is gona be able to support 256 players. when i heard that i was like ok its either gona be amazing or its gona be amazingly laggy XD so i cant wait to get my hands on it and see which one it turns out to be

[a chewy rock]

MAG did look pretty cool assuming it runs fine with 256 people in a game. I don't own a PS3 so I won't be playing it.

I can't even host, and nobody is on. :<
Combat arms is hacker friendly.. That's the best way I can put it. I suggest something like Wolf Team, it's pretty good and people who buy gear with cash don't own the game.

Are you talking about tremulous?

if you are, once you boot it up and click on play. You'll come to the server list.

refresh the list using the button.

at the top there should be a game room called AA, you may have to scroll down a tiny bit. Double click on it, and your done!
