MMORPGs - Who here plays them?

[Alan Bolte]

Haha, yes. Barrens chat...

[Ghost Rider]

Sure Alliance it's share of dicks, but Horde just hides them better really.

Honestly both sides have B.net kiddies flooding out there ears, and if I could, I would play the game 1-whatever solo. The only problem is Pick Up groups suck...hell fuck some guildies suck as bad, but PUGs can be just fucking hilarious of shit people presume.

Hunter: "I'm the Hunter, I get to pull!!!.....Oh shit, I pulled too many, fuck me...helppppppppp!!!!!"

Priest/Druid: "I'm a shad0w Priest/Feral Druid, drink a pot n00b!"

Pallies with a hard on thinking they can taunt: "I tank"

Warriors who think they are rogues in UBRS, and many many more.

Also Raids suck...once you learn the pattern, it's now watch as we slay the latest dragon, get his purple garbage, to bicker over this.

Fuck, I still have thirty more days to waste on this goddamn card.....ah well, perhaps the other servers will be better then making Ony my bitch for the 15 billionth time.

[Nephtys]

where you went wrong is that you played Alliance. Maybe i'm biased but in my experience with WoW the alliance was chock full of former CS players and general muppets. Those that know better chose Horde.

Please. Anyone who subscribes to that nonsense is an idiot. In a game of five million players, split between two sides evenly (the ratio is roughly 60 percent alliance to 40 horde), both sides will have even amounts of idiots. Don't give me that 'the leet players roll horde rogues' stuff.

For every adolesent dancing night elf hunter named LEGOLAZ, you'll have an adolescent swearing orc shaman named KILLCRUSH.

[Mad]

Used to play Guild Wars. Still have it installed, but have been too busy to play recently. I wouldn't mind hopping back in sometime, though, now that I have more free time.

[darthdavid]

I don't play MMORPGS. I played Maple Story for a while but it got boring. Most of 'em have monthly fees and I only like paying for my games once (and can barely budget that as it is) thanks.

[Losonti Tokash]

Started off with Earth and Beyond, which was probably my favorite out of all the ones I've played. I've never really actually gotten any halfway decent characters in other games so that might be part of it. Unfortunately, EA killed it a looooong time ago.

Moved onto Anarchy Online, played around with it, got bored after a few months, dropped it.

Tried out Matrix Online. Had a blast when it first came out but it got murdered almost right away.

Since then I haven't really played any that cost money unless I know someone that has it and will let me do a test run.

[Acidburns]

In Chronological order:

Asheron's Call
Planetside
World Of Warcraft (Still playing, though im getting tired of it now)
Guildwars
City of Villans (For 2 weeks, then unsubscribed)

My friends and I are now looking for a new MMO to replace WoW. Though we are considering Neverwinter nights 2 or something else as well.

[Arrow]

I picked up Guild Wars today (well, technically, yesterday). So far I'm liking it, but I can tell its going to have a limited self-life. But there's no monthly fees, and I can ignore the assholes if I want to (unlike BF2... urggg *STOMP*). Mainly, I wanted an RPG to hold me over until Oblivion and NWN 2; NWN 1, Morrowind and Dungeon Siege 2 have gotten stale.

[GuppyShark]

I haven't even gotten any of my Horde alts up to the fabled Barrens chat. I just get sick of the 'lol alliance r noobs fags lol' in Durotar & Undercity.

You're a footnote. Of course you think Alliance suck - you're not around to see Horde ganking Alliance newbies, just like I'm not around to see Alliance ganking Horde newbies.

Oh, yeah, OP:

Ultima Online
MajorMUD
World of Warcraft
City of Heroes/Villains

There's a difference.
When Horde gank Westfall, they're being jerks.
When Alliance ganks Barrens, they're doing a favor.

[Dorsk 81]

Starting:

City of Villains.

Finally gotten off your ass and bought it then?

Used to play SWG before it got really shite, and currently playing CoV alot, although, I might give that a little break for a bit and try something else at some point. Variety is the spice of life and all.

Please, both side are being dumbasses, and neither sides level 60s rushes to help...unless the size of the band is somewhere in the mid 40's of character grouping, so they have an incentive. I've sat at just outside the Barrens for a couple hours....hell as an Orc Shammy sat next to Westfall tower itself for an hour before some decided to send a team to actually give me reason not to sit there.

And for the matter of record, I despise little ganking rogues who used to kill both sides quest givers just because.

There was never a time when SWG was not shite. It was concentrated bull excrement from the very first day of launch, and so far as I can tell it's still not managed to get rid of that stink.

[Stormin]

I still play DAoC. Just moved to Gareth (Classic) server and got my Blademaster to 50 and geared up fairly quickly. Getting the realm ranks too, I am not playing enough to get higher than 100k most weeks though but if I keep getting runs like last nights I should hit rr6 fairly soon.

Join us at WoW. Me and Revan are already there, on Dreanor and we'll help you get twinked out.

[Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi]

I play WoW. I guess a Warlock is good for the player that just doesn't give a shit, since outside of the occasional summon or Soul Stone, you don't have a major service to the party that will screw everything up if you're no good at it. But there's probably someone newbish enough to find a way.

I do wanna try WoW, but it won't be till February-ish when I can get broadband, I think my dialup modem would melt, else I would probably have tried WoW before CoV.

World of Warcraft here...60 Dwarf Hunter, 60 Night Elf Priest, and a scattering of other characters. As for the Horde v Alliance debate, I see asshat gankers on both sides...but Mannoroth isn't exactly average there. The Horde/Alliance balance is damn near 1:1, and Manno's Horde have some tremendous asshole guilds. Freakin Twelve Prophets can suck my balls...and Exitus? Pfft. I just wish that Goblin guards would stay aggro'd to people who Vanish/Feign Death.

That is another bit that is pissing me greatly of WoW, but sadly this is of all MMORPGs, Elite asshat guilds.

Sad to say I probably am in one of the larger ones on my server(not the largest...that belongs to a very special asshat group). Bsaically they get bigger and give friends some of the fucking most pass off shit possible. I've seen the guild allow some asshats who think "I'm such and such spec, and you want me to change?!" Yes, dumbfuck...because in raids you are not the only fucking person there!

Personally I hate when the main officers are going "That's a Hunter only weapon." Ummmm...fucknut...it's a DPS sword, last I remember both Hunters and Rogue can use it. Bows/Guns yes, but sorry some policies are filled with half witted bullshit(took fucking two MONTHS before they gave Rogues the chance to roll on the goddamn Brutality Blade....a fucking one hand DPS monster ofr Sword rogues, and they DE the fucking thing for that time before the rogues starting going "LOOK FUCK NUTS WE'RE DPS".).

There's plenty of other horror stories I have involing Guns being given to Rogues over HUNTERS, Shields to Pallys instead of Warriors and other shit.

Personally if I lead the Guild instead of being an officer there are more then a few fucknuts I would kick out, namely a few druids who go PURE FERAL in a raid. Okay, in ZG it's 20...we NEED healers. You fucking asshats need to understand the reason I don't pull out my fucking Axe of pwnage is because I'm not there as DPS, I'm a meatshield.

So don't go "But I'm fearl specced, drink a pot or bandage!". Honestly when there are only three priests and we have ONE FUCKING PALADIN for spot healing, you can fuck your pseudo Rogue/Hunter/Mage damage, because THEY ARE DPS classes not your sorry ass. It's not like we allow fucking Priest go full Shadow in raids, so you fucking druids are in the same boat. Same applies when I go Horde on another server and I see Shamans and Druid think "I'm uber DPS!!!"

If anything that's my biggest complaint. You want uber DPS, play PvP...that's what it's there for, not raiding.

[White Haven]

On one hand, neither of my two raids enforce specs. On the other hand, neither of my two raids tolerates priests in Shadowform or druids in Cat Form. Happy medium, and such. And as the Brutality Blade is right near the top of my current wish-list, your hunters are lucky little fugs. Currently a Rogue/War weapon in both my raids.

Sadly both times we got wiped or near wiped in a raid we had down pat was because of such. And their explaination was "MY spec!"...the sad part, is literally we just want them to heal the priest or in the Shadow Priest we want them to support the main healer. We just want the class that heals do so, and we place both specs in spot heals. Sure you don't get into raids as much, but then we expect you to do less...but damn when they don't even do that .

You definitly have a Happy Medium because this is just as infuriating as reading a Enhancement Shaman go "But my axe!!"...screw you bitch, you wouldn't have that shiny thing if the 14 of us didn't save your ass, so heal and shove it.

Yeah, probably for a while. I just protested when it was being DE'd and we had people who could STILL use it, and finally they shaped up. The less said on the ZG gun the better. Seriously our Guild's main officers have no idea of what a Hunter gets, what a Rogue gets, what a Paladin gets and what a Warrior gets(and two of them ARE warriors). Mages, Priest, and Warlocks though have it easy...they literally can speak up and claim.

[Lord Pounder]

I used to be in one of the larger WoW guilds on my Server. Allegiance of Power. I'd know the main core group since I was playing Horizions, we'd played several MMO's but WoW seems to bring out the asshole in many otherwise nice guys. Because I didn't power level to 60 in a few weeks i was denied an officership despite the fact that I built them a fecking website and was one of the only members giving away my green and blue drops to members who needed them, while the lvl 60's with officership just stood arround posing at TM, not actually fighting mind you just posing. I left the guild with the other members who where contributing more than "do it yourself n00b lol" when askef doe help. Now while the Guild i'm in now may not be able to farm MC or any of the high level end game shit we actually have fun.

[Tasoth]

Just picked up guildwars and am mucking about.

[Gil Hamilton]

I've got a level 60 warrior and level 60 Feral Druid in WoW.

Ghost Rider: The Feral Druid who says that he can't heal because he's feral is an asshat. Feral Druids can't heal as well as Restor Spec, but they can still fucking heal some. I keep two sets of gear, Feral gear and Healing gear. With Heart of the Wild, I've got alot of mana, so while I can't heal as well as a tricked out Restor specced druid, I can still heal well enough to keep people alive in Zul'Gurub and Molten Core and the like.

While people should have pots and bandages on hand as a matter of course, feral druids can competantly heal well enough in a raid... assuming the player knows how to play their feral druid wisely.

Feral druid just means that if the crew you are with has enough healers along, you can cat up and do DPS. Or if you are short on warriors one night, you can still tank an instance (I've tanked practically all the 5 man instances in the game with my Feral Druid). The Feral druid really is the jack of all trades.

The Feral druid really is the jack of all trades.

I know he's an asshat, and hopefully after his utter display of not spot healing a priestess in fucking Zul Gurub(20 man high end instance where really each class plays a very specific role, if you don't have enough warriors you find one, because we tried the first couple with Bears.....and really was bad, let alone some of the other fuckers). He just kept blithering and it disgusted me we didn't boot his ass out then and there. The priestess bitched at him infront of the guild in raid while in ZG. So myself and few others are hoping next week it "So sorry, but you're coming when we want to pay 20 gold per ass rape."

So yeah, I know what Shadow/Fearl/hell any spec of class can do, and seen them all, just pissed me off that the fucker would not heal because he claimed Feral spec. Which was as valid as a Priest shadow spec to STOP aggroing the 61 elite like a bitch and spot heal.

Seriously a few classes need to remember basic roles. I don't ask druids or priest to be Disc/holy or Restoration unless literally the instance demands it(so far BWL and ZG are the only two the guild revised to needing this because the instances are that ugly for now....that will probably changes in the months), but the whole non healing pissed me beyond words that night because honestly my Pally is nicely decked but fucking a, I'm not that much a replacement for a druid, but nope...the guild had to bring along the Cat druid who didn't want to heal.
