spurious signal Caldari Brainiacs	Posted - 2006.08.06 07:45:00 - [1] Is it just me or has the entire MMORPG genre died? WoW is a glorified slot machine instance grind with no pvp. DaoC died a long time ago and the next expansion will finalize that. EQ/EQ2 are the most uninspiring and badly executed games on the market now. SWG was stillborn and then even the corpse desecrated. EVE has become an RMT combat game with no backstory development. So what's left? Can anyone think of any MMORPGs still out there that don't suck totally?
Jenny Spitfire Caldari LoneStar Industries Veritas Immortalis	Posted - 2006.08.06 07:49:00 - [2] None died. All MMOs are plagued with almost same problems. ---------------- Cruelty is God's way of showing kindness.

Vanamonde Caldari Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2006.08.06 07:51:00 - [3] Not an MMO, I know, but personally I am waiting for Supreme Commander to be released. It is the follow on to Total Annihilation (and more importantly, made by the same people). [Read the Rules!] \| [[email protected]] Vanamonde: by Arthur C. Clarke

F'nog Amarr Celestial Horizon Corp. Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.08.06 07:54:00 - [4] Try Neverwinter Nights. It kicks ass and is a lot like a MMOG if you play a Persistent World. Originally by: Panzer Goddess I podded wrangler, and all I got was this lousy forumban.
Jenny Spitfire Caldari LoneStar Industries Veritas Immortalis	Posted - 2006.08.06 07:57:00 - [5] Since two ppl above me recommended non-MMOs, I would recommend The Longest Journey and Dreamfall. I am more of a story based person. Cant stand shallow games. Something that is dying in most game developers. ---------------- Cruelty is God's way of showing kindness.
Katrina Coreli Cannon Fodder Inc	Posted - 2006.08.06 08:10:00 - [6] If you want a completly different MMO experience try Second Life. Different to everything youve played before you may just love it :D Found here : http://secondlife.com/ -Enjoi Originally by: Santiago Cortes Please don't derail your own thread.

Michiyo Daishi	Posted - 2006.08.06 09:42:00 - [9] I'd recommend oldies for now, especially Total Annihilation XD I've just gotten ahold of it and its so wonderfuly wonderful XD - posts posted are not official statements of EVEnews.com, and are the poster's own
Dark Shikari Caldari Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.08.06 11:10:00 - [10] Shattered Galaxy is still fun even though they really haven't developed it in 3 or 4 years. MMORTSs for the win \o/ P.S. EVE is still just fine. --Proud member of the [23]-- -WTS Heavy Electron II, 100mn AB II
Shahadet Amarr Royal Amarr Institute	Posted - 2006.08.06 11:16:00 - [11] It does not get better then star control 2. Ur-Quan Masters Fear the bad sig image

Ur-Quan Masters Not an MMO, but its the best adventure game of all time . I can highly recommend it under Linux. And Windows. With all graphics options maxed. P.S. For those downloading it under Ubuntu, the Ubuntu repository has an old version of the game, which is missing things like the intro sequence and is a bit buggy. Get the latest (0.5 something). Also make sure to get the uqm-music and uqm-voice packages: they're not included on the main repository due to their size. The README.Debian file has a link to the FTP server where these are stored. --Proud member of the [23]-- -WTS Heavy Electron II, 100mn AB II

Wired An Eye For An Eye	Posted - 2006.08.06 15:21:00 - [15] Join Ogame (if you havent already), that'll keep ye busy and we have an EVE alliance in there. Search the forum for the link, i cant be bothered to find it. ============================================= My sig got edited, and all i got was a lousy e-mail
Tripp Orsam Dragonstar	Posted - 2006.08.06 15:32:00 - [16] Originally by: Danton Marcellus Some people I know are holding out for Huxley. Beware there's some seriously flawed english going on. I remember seeing screenshots of Huxley a while back, it looks amazing but will it be any good, reminds me alot of Enemy Teritory: Quake Wars but QW is not an mmo and Huxley is, very intersting. ----------------------------- EVE Online perfectly strikes all your free time wrecking your 1994 marriage.

Benco97 Gallente On Ravens Wings	Posted - 2006.08.06 18:06:00 - [18] Edited by: Benco97 on 06/08/2006 18:06:30 A game that absorbs hours of my life and I think may be the only game that is installed on ALL my computers is Nethack, a rogue-like. Very fun, very fun indeed. edit - not MMO though... my mind boggles at the concept of multi-player Nethack.. Snug Radio - Fart like a Pirate
Dr Happy	Posted - 2006.08.06 18:13:00 - [19] Originally by: Vanamonde Not an MMO, I know, but personally I am waiting for Supreme Commander to be released. It is the follow on to Total Annihilation (and more importantly, made by the same people). speaking of that I've been trying to get popele to play Ta with me go to phoenic worx where a bunch of poepel still play TA I need more poeple to lose to
Negative Nancy	Posted - 2006.08.06 20:45:00 - [20] Try Fallout and Fallout 2. They are RPGs but rumor has it that Fallout 3 will be an MMO. But those 2 games alone should keep you occupied for a few months. ----------------------------------------- Originally by: Chadawahee Originally by: Neprox What is wow? wow is what you say when you start up eve for the first time
Khazhran Sotomo Caldari	Posted - 2006.08.06 20:50:00 - [21] I'm a fan of Rome: Total War, but as for an MMO, I can't really think of another good one that you hadn't listed. Personally, all games have problems, and if you nitpick too much, you'll never actually have any fun with any of them. Originally by: Vanamonde Not an MMO, I know, but personally I am waiting for Supreme Commander to be released. It is the follow on to Total Annihilation (and more importantly, made by the same people). Actually, SC is really a "spiritual successor" to Total Annihilation, due to legal issues (GPG doesn't have rights to the TA name).
Gericault m0id Gallente Mercantile Exchange	Posted - 2006.08.06 20:52:00 - [22] Originally by: spurious signal EVE has become an RMT combat game with no backstory development. Have to agree with this one. I'd like to see more evidence of the backstory in-game. CCP, please hire somebody to implement the storyline (what happened to all elections?)! As for other MMOs. EVE is my first and it's taking far too much time to think about alternatives

EVE is my first and it's taking far too much time to think about alternatives There's backstory all the time... see the corp and alliance forums. In many ways its IMO far too much to handle.

Leilani Solaris Gallente 0utbreak	Posted - 2006.08.07 01:16:00 - [24] Originally by: HolographicEntrypoint Edited by: HolographicEntrypoint on 06/08/2006 11:55:36 Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction 1.09 PvP -> blutmoor.de (private 09 Server, no grinding, no farming, no leveling)... this is the last chance to compete with the elite of Diablo 2. I might give that a go. I played Diablo 2 for about 5 years and loved it then eventually quit. How do you join the private servers anyway?
GouldFish Unscoped Myriad Alliance	Posted - 2006.08.07 12:28:00 - [25] You could play one of the best single player games of all time in the form of X-COM (UFO:enemy unknown).
spurious signal Caldari Brainiacs	Posted - 2006.08.07 15:59:00 - [26] Edited by: spurious signal on 07/08/2006 15:59:04 Thanks for all the suggestions folks The vast majority of the things suggested I've already played however Maybe I need to get out more... Don't wanna get into a discussion about why I think EVE is now broken and in terminal decline, that wasn't the point of this thread. Checking out Second Life since it was the only MMO suggested. And to the suggestion that all MMORPGs have serious flaws and that if I nit-pick too much I won't enjoy any of them.... I think you're right. I think it might actually be time for me to abandon this genre for a while... it's a shame, but I think my standards are too high and I'm not prepared to pay for mediocrity any more. Thanks all
Laythun Euphoria Released Euphoria Unleashed	Posted - 2006.08.07 16:02:00 - [27] Rome Total War. you'll be there for months cultivating your society and war machine *See You In Space Cowboy*
Kari Kayira Amarr	Posted - 2006.08.07 16:33:00 - [28] Well, I'd have to agree that if neither WoW nor EVE suit your tastes, you're best off looking at another game genre. Those two games represent, in my eyes, the best the current market has to offer in terms of MMORPGs. By the by, last time I checked, "private" D2 servers are still illegal. Discussing illegal stuff on the forums is not a good idea if you value your account ^^. See rule #11. Good to see there's going to be a (spiritual) sequel to TA. That game was a blast to play, and I have a sudden hankering to reinstall it.
FooB2 Caldari Pre-nerfed Tactics	Posted - 2006.08.07 18:15:00 - [29] i bought NWN and the two main expansion packs simply for the online play, but i can never do it because i know noone else that plays it. and i ONLY play games with people i know, never solo. because solo theyre generally zero fun. as for a different MMO, you're stuffed. unless you fancy trying guild wars which again, is only good with friends. take up a different Genre, go download enemny territory. at least it has EXP. im currently branching out. i used to play Knight Online religiously but it stopped being free (to an extent, free accounts arent allowed to play during primetime afaik). Tityana directed me to MU Online, a free Diablo II clone which im hoping is going to live up to the game its supposedly copied off. i played Diablo II LOD till 1.10 came out and anally destroyed it.
Gericault m0id Gallente Mercantile Exchange	Posted - 2006.08.07 19:55:00 - [30] Originally by: Dark Shikari There's backstory all the time... see the corp and alliance forums. In many ways its IMO far too much to handle. Emperors that we can't see getting shot by assassins we don't know isn't "backstory." I agree that there's backstory all the time but it doesn't affect the bulk of the player community (afaik we've got >100k players and only 10-15k in alliances?). I'd like to see more backstory roleplay between factions for example. e.g. 1 week full-out war against the Caldari would be interesting where players could earn extra faction points or faction lp or something cool by killing caldari players and/or navy (without ccp gankage). heh, I'm rambling on about something which would be difficult to implement and that would probably destroy game-play for many. But that is the kind of conflict I envisaged when starting the game.
