so, what's a good MMORPG (online rpg)?

[skace]

City of Heroes is gaining in popularity. Several friends already play it, my copy is in the mail. Tons of people that used to play EQ are now playing it. As far as I can tell, it could be good for 3 months until WoW. And if it is still good, I may keep playing it, otherwise I will switch over to WoW.

Why?

Star Wars Galaxies is a great game and can be a lot of fun. It's drawback is lack of high end content and long term playability. But it's great for 3 months for sure. Even 6. Course I am still playing after 11 months but...

It is definately worth checking out.

I shouldnt say its crap. I mean creating your own superhero is probably fun and the game looks pretty cool, but, the game is very limited. If you enjoy killing off lots of NPCs and not much else, then you would enjoy CoH. No community-oriented features, such as auctioning, trade skills, and player-versus-player combat. Theres just not that much depth to the game beyond killing monsters. Its probably good for the first month or so then it probably will get repetative and boring.

Asheron's Call 1 (AC2 Sucked!)

They will be coming out with an expansion pack in summer 2005, with updated game play and graphics.

One of very few MMORPG's that does MONTHLY updates.

$12.95 per month.

After playing FFXI and WoW-Beta, if I had more time i'd go back to FFXI

The real problem with SW:G is that Sony Online Entertainment has a bad habit of downsizing all their talent to save money and then foisting a half-finished product on legions of paying customers to beta-test it for $12.95 a month. They allow glaring bugs that greatly affect gameplay to go unfixed for weeks or months, if not forever. They have spam-screens bugging you to buy the latest expansion every time you log in, and to increase profits they're churning out these expansions every few months. As you might guess, giving a group of interns and maybe 2-3 underpaid guys who actually have to shave a few months to come up with an expansion has disasterous results every time. EverQuest started out as an excellent mmorpg, but eventually the Sony mentality of ruthlessness caught up to it. It was originally made by a small company called Verant/989 studios, but was bought in the beta by Sony; however Sony left well enough alone for a few years, which is why the game was good and succeeded. As you can imagine, the type of player to take this abuse for their money (their parents' money, in most cases, I'm guessing) is none too mature or intelligent. Further, an online game draws much of its appeal from its playerbase, and Sony games have been attracting far too many young and/or brash people the past two years or so. Taking battle.net abuse (ie. j00r m0m suxx0rz 4 25 centz olololololo) for free is one thing, and not one I'm fond of. Paying a monthly fee for it is insane. FYI if it's not clear already; both EverQuest and Star Wars: Galaxies are Sony Online Entertainment games.

thanks for the suggestions everyone.

I was just as BestBuy and they had Dark Age of Camelot for $10 with the first month free, so I just picked it up to see if I like these newfangled 3d mmorpgs. The cashier offered to take me in as his online son in the game... I'm scared
