Does anyone like to use any MMORPG's? I admit, I do have one to my current addiction list - Everquest. Yes, I may get mocked but it's a satisfying game that I can go back to at anytime. Thus is my excuse for not owning an Xbox yet. Shh... I just use my roomies!

Alas

Yes, I am a mmorpg addict. I'm a former EQer, but now am addicted to FFXI....

Also under my belt are earth and beyond, and Star Wars Sux0raxies.

To start with, let me just quote myself from a couple-week-old mainpage comment:
I hate what MMORPG's do to me. They consume me at first, and then string me along by my own guilt. I feel guilty for losing interest, then that turns to anger at that particular lame excuse for a videogame. MMOs have no plot, no point, and no purpose. I love RPGs, but never again will I buy an MMO. Not even the Matrix Online will cause me to break this vow. Never again will I put myself through the pain, frustration, and emptiness that is truly the essence of an MMO... to sum it up better: guilt leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate... leads to suffering
Plus, MMO's are expensive. I dunno, I've got nothing against interaction with ppl, I'd just rather do it over Battlefield or Halo.

I love MMOs, I just hate how expensive they are. I play Galaxies and am thinking about picking up Uru... Has anyone tried it?

I wish I could say that I have, but I've had neither the time nor the funds to do so. But, since my Dad is an old Myst fan, I'm pretty sure I can get him to pay for it :wink: . I'll post on here if and when I get it.

Yeah, whoever decided we should pay monthly for MMORPG's (or more than say, $5) should be strung up by their balls and have their hairs ripped out by eyebrow teezers.

I have been thinking about starting FFXI, but I love Everquest. I love not having to wait for people to finish their damn D&D character sheets and having the game fade out after a few weeks or months or whatever. And I love having a bard and being able to shout DING. Hehehe...

On an offhand note, I wrote a huge long post on my website about how much guys suck whenever I try to go into a gaming store. Grr.

Your website? May we humbly request a linky? Or you could put it in your profile.

I beta tested Star Wars Galaxies and that was my first taste of the MMORPG genre. I have to admit. It consumed my life for quite a while (just ask Afrotect). So... needless to say in order to get through college I have not yet purchased it. The more I hear people talk about it, Final Fantasy XI sounds badass too. I dunno. I am just afraid I will get sucked in again. This past summer I did not go by my given name. My life was on Rori. It was sad.

Nice Avatar Afrotect... HAHAHA, I am such an amazing artist and can draw with the best of them.

Nice page...but if you look forward to someday beating Grundy in Halo, just wait until you play me (assuming you ever get that chance).

Muahahahaa....

And I'd like you to know that I respect girl gamers that know their shit (and i work at an EB).

Has anyone been playing Horizons? I have not ever played a MMORPG, but I've heard alot of great things about Horizons. I'm not going to play Horizons but if you're a fan of MMORPGs I hear that you should check it out.

On a side note, one thing I that sucks about being a gamer girl is because I'm not Asian it' slike I lose cool points. Le sigh. I have breasts, I tell you, breasts! Doesn't that make a good enough gal?! :roll:
