Odd Phase of Olden RPG's...

SilverTemplar · #1 08-15-2012, 01:10 AM

Hey! Lately I am going through the weirdest phase, ever. I didn't start playing MMO's until WoW Vanilla, so obviously I'm going to be lost, but that's half the fun I suppose. I have been playing some of the older RPG's as of late and even a few tabletops and so far I'm highly enjoying the experience.

Hopefully, I can enjoy this one just as much. Just wanted to drop by and let myself be known.

Pretty much on the money x3
Little bit of Pathfinder as well, but if my friend is right they should have an older version before 3.5 around somewhere.
Hounded down FF6, but so far no luck on getting my SNES to be nice .-.

But yeah, should be fun! Contemplating on either rolling Bard or Paladin.

Let us know in server chat if you need pointers [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] EQ doesn't hold your hand the way WoW-->thereafter does...

And this is probably off-topic, but a fun topic...Try gemstone 3/4 (http://play.net/Gs4) if you're up for a text-based mmo. That MUD rocked. I'd still play it if i wasn't so stingy about paying 14.99 a month when I wouldn't play it that much...It used to sport 2000-2500 people at peak. Like P99, it's usually more like 200-600 nowadays. The combat system is actually really elaborate for a text-based game, complete with death crits, monster invastions of the main city, etc...

But for now i'll stick to my once-or-twice-a-week p99 playtime...

GEMSTONE!!

rub amu

I really loved that game too. So much, in fact, that I wrote a clone of it and ran it locally for a couple of years.

My guess is you've already bailed on your olden RPG quest and have decided to spend all of your time playing EQ.

Good choice [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If anyone made a GSIV clone F2P I'd be all over that.
