guildmasters dood, rofl what the fuck how the hell do you not know what a GM is??? no one calls people from the respective companies game masters anymore they are pretty much all called CSRs now. game master was the term coined from the old LARP games like AD&D, vamps, WW, etc.
They just happen to be the most popular, right?
ever looked at the most popular TV shows? the most popular music? the most popular fashions?

I diddnt say ppl like the lamest games in the world. I said the fact that typically that which is most popular caters to society en masse. I could come up with analogies all day, this is like you coming to america, eating a hot dog, and saying american food sucks. btw if you make a comment like "secret" games you totally are just showing your ignorance.
dude id love to discuss this seriously but no one on the board gives a shit. i wasnt tryint to pick a fight either but im just saying im as old school a gamer as they come, i know what im talking about. I played games like this LOOONG before there was an electronic implimentation of any sort.
What all can I do in a MMORPG that isn't repetative?
id say you obviously havent played one if you say that, but then i saw the screen shots, and it seems like your only exposure is freaking everquest? dude like i said above thats like judging all the music in the world based on a backstreet boys song.
I'll agree that raiding is a unique experience, but that is a very rare occurance for most players, only the highest end guilds raid all the time (and they got there by wasting days and days killing the same things over and over)
you either were one of those people that joined the nubletist guilds possible, or simply diddnt play enough, or you played eq. all three are pretty equivalent. eq sucks dude that was my whole post u cant compare anything based on that shit game. its not evercrack its ever grind. yah, if you have never seen anything like that before, then yeah im sure it might be cool at first. if youve never seen anything outside of it, im sure you might think its the best too.
oh and a side note, the reason for me stating that i was affiliated with one of the biggest guilds in all of EQ and also was personal friends with some of the officers, was that i can nullify the argument that EQs raids are interesting. Every time i have this convo, someone says "you must have never gone on any real raids..." to which I reply, there are none. Mob AI consists of: Mob with infinetly huge hit point pool, endless power pool, and stats so rediculous you would crap your pants if you got a look at them. The raids are about as difficult as getting a crapton of people and making them hack and slash a big giant thing with 20 billion constitution. eq's epic raids are so lame they are funny. shti ive seen games with way more advanced AI on the simplest aspects.
yah sony is real fucking creative, "THIS NEW EXPANSION WILL ADD 5 MORE LEVELS ON WOW HOLY SHIT!" SO DOES THE NEXT AND NEXT AND NEXT ONE. damn it i fucking hate eq i had to have this convo with my friends over and over again and they just wouldnt listen.
also based on your above post you are a nub that likes to hack and exploit. people liek you ruin mmorpgs and force programmers to endure even longer, sleepless work hours to stop terds like that from exploiting the system and doing the exact opposite of what the game was intended for (also destroying the economy and ruinging it overall for everyone else). then again what am i saying i was probably the 2nd or 3rd biggest unbanned grief player Origin Systems Inc ever saw...
MMORPGs are a way for people with no lives to feel like they're accomplishing something that matters (at least for serious MMORPG players, casual players tend to walk around exploring and other such things, because they havn't experienced the world yet, most serious players have seen it all)
not true dude, are you like 17 or something? why in the hell would you get so heated over something like this?
Ask someone who has never played a MMORPG to watch someone leveling in EverQuest or WoW or whatever MMORPG you want to pick, they'll say, "Wow.. that looks really boring". You find it enjoyable because of the reward you get out of investing your life.
the average person isnt a gamer. the "average" gamer probably doesnt even own a pc (and by my definition not a gamer). The "average" pc gamer probably doesnt even have the attention span to play unreal tournament anymore. That sentance made no sense, its like saying reading a book is pointless cuz it doesnt take you on a triple loop roller coaster.
pls stop trying to argue man every single thing you are saying makes it crystal clear obvious you dont know what you are talking about. im not arguing because this has anything to do with
you, im arguing because i dont want people to read this and get the wrong impression of what these games are about (assuming people care).
pm me and ill link you to the greatist game of all time
if you are a fantasy rpg fan. also consider the point:
this genere may not be for you! some people like country, some people like rock and roll dude.
while were on the subject, heres a new one that looks both interesting and a nice challenge to all its competition. made by a small but highly respectable company, and if you mention SWG to any degree after looking at this link i will cram my Legendary Quality Elemental 2 Hander straight through your MP Hauberk.

based on this company's previous works, id say this one should be killer (especially since there hasnt really been a successfull scifi mmorpg yet)
