What are you playing at the moment? - Page 124

Noooo, only in recent years although I still play the odd PC game if it looks good.
For years I was a hardened PC gamer and obsessive hardware nut that occasionally dabbled in overclocking.
I've played mostly every major (and a few minor) MMOs in recent years, except Warhammer Online. But I mainly used to play Everquest 1 and WoW, although I've also dabbled in Dark Ages of Camelot, Eve Online, Age of Conan, Guild Wars, Lineage 2, Everquest 2, LoTR Online, Tabula Rasa, Ultima Online, erm *thinks* Probably quite a few more too

Ah right! How wrong was I then!

I used to play Vanilla WoW casually with friends some years ago and loved it, was great fun exploring the place, no pressure of a high end guild, just socialising with some co-op gameplay. I really enjoyed it but then we all got engaged in busier RL activity and most of us quit.

I'd like to go back if I could find a mature guild who aren't obsessed with RAIDING/farming etc- but that will have to be for a time when I've got less work on

The new 360 I'm very impressed with for the time being and it's going to take a lot to draw me away from that for the time being!

Haly · 23-04-2009, 23:59

I sometimes go back to WoW every now and then to get a fix then remember I get bored too fast

But I'll let you know when I do next

Tends to be a mixture of money and time (or lack of both) that stops me playing

I was never fussed about raiding etc, I did all that on Everquest 1 and now prefer a more relaxed time!Partly why I've switched to consoles so much, it's the lazy option set up wise

Jingo · 24-04-2009, 00:13

Definately, I tend to join RP servers- not because I like pretending I'm an elf or whatever, but generally the attitudes and environment is more immersive and less L33t!

If my work calms down somewhat and I end up resubbing I'll make a post to see if any BD'ers end up in WoW again

In the meantime, the moneys shall be parted on some more xbox

Haly · 24-04-2009, 00:14

Yeah RP servers tend to have more mature players in my experience. Fewer 12 year olds with too much free time

Dazzy_G · 24-04-2009, 00:49

Completed Star wars: unleashed, at last. i remember getting quite fed up at the final battle. came back to it and did it first time.

NokkonWud · 24-04-2009, 01:11

Found my Battlefield 2 CD! It was in my Max Payne case. So happy!

Streeteh · 24-04-2009, 08:07

I gave mine away like an idiot, i was into BF2142 at the time and a mate kept stealing my PC to try it so i gave him it to shoo him away. A month later and i was fed up of 2142 and wanting BF2 goodness again.

May fork out for that £6 package deal, looks really good.

Oh and, still playing SF4, but here's a tip; if you've never used an arcade stick for more than 5 mins when you were 14, don't buy one for SF4 and expect it to be an easy adjustment. I've gone from semi-good on the pad to utterly dire D:

Practice, practice, practice!

In fairness, the PS3 pad is awesome for beat-em ups. I imagine a half mangled joystick with only half the buttons on it is better than an Xbox360 pad

As Haly said it is the MMO version and it is a great game to play with Snowbourn being the main european server of choice for a lot of people. Good thing about Snowbourn is there are a lot of mature kins which have age restrictions so they aren't full of the whining annoying kids that float about in MMO's. Similar with the RP servers lots of mature kins there who take it seriously.

It has gone through another free book update recently with lothlorien finally being added on after a delay from launch last year. With this book they have made the levelling from 1-40 a lot easier with reduced xp requirements per level, a quest tracker/pointer for your maps if you want to use it.

Like MMO's people either like it or hate it or cant get into it but thats normal.
