MMOs require a huge investment in time and a lot of patience for often steep learning curves, but there are always people willing to take n00bs under their wing, not to mention extensive online forum support. For those who persevere in an MMO, it’s as much (if not more) about the socializing as the gaming.

I am HUGELY into RPG's, and I find the mmorpg's lacking and will not pay monthly fees for them. The reason I am hugely into rpg's is the involving storylines. They are lacking in all the MMORPG's I've played. Guild wars tries to some extent, but when you have so many people, short of having full time employees whose job is to play the game and create life in the world, mmorpg's all tend to be kill, loot, sell, level, chat. Rinse, repeat. A nd repeat, and repeat. It gets boring to me, and you know how much I love my rpg's. :) On a side note Shannon, if you do give Oblivion the shot we talked about, I would also recommend gothic three. It's a very similar game, and you can choose if you want to help the invading orcs rule humanity or save the poor enslaved humans. It's very open ended like Oblivion, and from what I understand (I got it from my son for Xmas, I've only played a little, but read some about it after getting it) it's kind of like Fable in what you do shapes the game.

I agree. If I was really into RPG's, I could see myself paying a monthly fee. A lot of people pay for Xbox Live so it doesn't seem unreasonable for a game to charge to play online. I haven't found one yet that I would pay for, but I know it's only a matter of time before a game comes out that hooks me.

I would NOT pay for a game I don't like. And I see your point of view. I was simply giving my opinion on the subject. If you find one you like, and will play often, it is not so bad.

Depends on who you ask and what game it is. That statement is highly dependant on opinion. Mine is that I will not pay a monthly fee for the games that I have seen that require it. Just my preference.

Paying monthly for a game is definitely worth it. I play DAOC (Dark Age of Camelot) now, and I cut my teeth years ago on Everquest. Its not really that much in the long run, and you can have multiple accounts! Comes in handy if you want a bot, or if you want to play with a friend. My significant other and I have 2 computers, and we like to play together. That is what I call quality time :D Thu, 21 Dec 2006 21:37:01 GMT http://gamegirls.tribe.net/thread/4b18ab50-6e54-44a0-ba1c-c90c92a4eed6#1b6aed6e-4d59-43b5-bdbc-6302c95b1664 Damaci 2006-12-21T21:37:01Z http://gamegirls.tribe.net/thread/4b18ab50-6e54-44a0-ba1c-c90c92a4eed6#ff708736-14be-4d97-85b4-1124fe1f4ca2 I wonder what that opinion is based on? http://www.hellocat78.1hwy.com/ and it's pink too.

But one thing one player told me, which I believe to be true is you can reach the end of the game and still be a bad player. I'm lvl 18, but I've died 190 times. ;) Sat, 27 May 2006 00:18:03 GMT http://gamegirls.tribe.net/thread/4b18ab50-6e54-44a0-ba1c-c90c92a4eed6#e1dbcdf5-9a3c-44a1-b73d-0c398d1995e7 Shannon 2006-05-27T00:18:03Z http://gamegirls.tribe.net/thread/4b18ab50-6e54-44a0-ba1c-c90c92a4eed6#1b7ffa47-19a8-4c4f-bf97-987333f0586f Got back in to gaming after a 5 year break..and I am addicted to this one.

I WAS NOT paying a monthly fee on top of buying the game, so the only option left to me of a recent game was Guild Wars. I ended up getting Guild Wars Factions because of the two new jobs added. So I played for a few hours totally lost and REALLY sucking with my character! I finally reached level 9 and was tired of dying and sucking overall. The only thing that kept me from getting insanely bored with the game was the fact that it was an MMO and that I wasn't paying an arm and a leg to play it with these people. So I started a new character, got to level 9 in 3 hrs and am finally enjoying it now (I don't dye practically every fight now :P ). So I just wanted to say thanks for encouraging me to keep looking for one that wasn't so bad. *On a side note, I think what really helped me not throw the game out was the fact that you don't wait to hit, you just hit. Major points for that! BTW, I could use some pointers! I didn't even know that the weapon you choose could make a difference in how strong you fight. I just found that out. See! Complete RPG newb. :P Sat, 20 May 2006 23:42:20 GMT http://gamegirls.tribe.net/thread/4b18ab50-6e54-44a0-ba1c-c90c92a4eed6#05791ec0-8283-4bf5-87af-ec430b41d2bf Shannon 2006-05-20T23:42:20Z
