to both clutter and sword, i agree with both of your posts, back when i was younger, i was big into console games, never the computer really, but then when eq came out, had a friend down the street that played, a

nd my paps being a old adnd player, he bought the game and tried it out, and soon we were hooked on everquest, though being about 11-13, was only allowed to play for 1-2 hours on saturday, sometimes a hour friday night and a hour saturday, well partly due to him having his play time

then i feel my 2nd favorite mmo after eq is vanguard, we got into a early area of beta, and continued to its launch, and played from launch for about 8 months, the game was great, but even with a awesome launch, it would've done a hell of alot better then it did now, but at the time in 2007, due to all the other mmos making everything so dumbed down and simple, i could see it getting the numbers, but not a million, or millions like wow, because lets face it, most commercials, and to me, most shows, are stupid as shit, and for some reason people love this stupid as shit shows, because its dumbed down to stupid people, i mean wow at first wasnt easy easy, but as close to classic eq, it was much easier, and as time went on they sure made it even way more easier

future mmo i look forward to, though not even sure how in the hell i can look forward to it where nothings been shown of the mmo, but 38 stuidios is coming out with a great rpg for the console thats going to open the world of their visioned mmo that will be out later

ldon was one of my favorite expansions, either that or velious, but with soe seeing how they can easily poop out expansion after expansion, and making everything instanced really turned the game to shit, but then wow came out with instances, theirs was'nt that bad, but the problem is this

after 2004, every other mmo that saw how big wow became, saw the direction change of how mmos were created, and followed the big picture, i havnt played rift, but ive heard its basically like wow but with better screenshots, and a half ass of fantasy, even in aoc,

though the games high graphics didnt allow a whole lot of people to buy the game, but after 3 months of launch of that game, dungeons were dead, i played that for about 8 months as well or so after launch, and I thought it was a great game, i grew up reading the conan books, and loved the adventure in it

(thats what these games are like, a immersive world i am in, though theres plenty to do in rl, but sometimes things just suck and we want to plug into something else, and Id say mmos are a hell of alot healthier then other ways to be entertained),

but just remember to plug back into the real world, but to the point, its 3 am in the morning and cant sleep, so i found my self checking the forums, the direction of mmo's are going a terrible direction, though im glad that many are working hard to steer it back in the Correct Direction, its like when movies came out, im a big fan of black n' white movies, and most of the ones in 50s/60s were great, then afterwards, yea theres still great movies, but most suck

like this last year, im a avid person to visit the theatre's every other weekend with friends, but all year every movie i saw i felt it was like throwing 10 bucks into the trash or burning it until i saw rise of the planet of the apes, great movie, and thats how a few game companies are trying to do, make the classic dnd rpg feel
