I used to be a pretty hard-core Ultima Online player, in fact I was even a GM on a shard over the summer (The Elder Days) until our bastard host decided to pull the plug cause we were eating up a lot more of his bandwidth than was proper.

Nightbird,
the Kendaro must say that that is a fine mark you have for yourself. Tis quite the image. Looks greatly like a strong Nolthrir hunter. The Kendaro can almost see what looks like even gills on the sid of the neck. Is this your intention to look like Nolthrir and did you find this image somewhere or its is done by yourself?

EverQuest(2 years)
Will play again once i get a new PC... its shitty but i sortta have an affinaty for it. was second in command in 2 guilds and became leader of the second guild after the leader had to quit EQ for personal reasons, both guilds collapesed due to leaders going missing, both for the Knights of teh Abyss, and union of mastery (union fell apart since i wasnt able to play EQ 4 weeks after the guilds formation (and i still cant play it), and the old leader never transfered teh control over to me :( . RIP Union of mastery- you where a great lot of guys... might meet you again one day
UltimaOnline(3 years)
First MMORPG i played
Was accepted as a councelor, but never got my confirmation application sent, so they ditched me, i had no fax at the time. Was leader of 2 roleplaying pirate guilds one on Europa and the other on Oceania. Fun times they where too but never realy got to do the great things i had always planned. Also belonged to teh Knights of Virtue on Europa... i believe teh guild is still around?... great bunch of guys... HEY loki!... want to go do that 5th level treasure map i got in teh bank... well i hope i still have it :( .... i wonder if hes still on my ICQ list
Dark Ages(7 days)
Played for the free weeks registration, got to be a 13th lvl rogue ^^, traps where cool ^^... but that game blows chunks, Nexon what where you thinking...
Elemental Saga(a few days, BETA)
another nexon game, Nexons games sux... there all teh same basicly and tend to be on teh crappy gameplay side. No fun at all... although there network engine is quite nice. Smashing the same damn monster over adn over again to get exp ... AHCK its EQ but worse!...
RS(30 minutes?, including download time)
Installed it and i couldnt get on the server... it said it was over crowded or something... i promptly hit \"un-install\". still cant get teh smell of shit off my hard drive.
Xenomus(a week)
interesting little game, looks semi-ok i guess...nice music ^^. But teh controls, gameplay and Network code all stink to high heaven... Still have the music on a cd some where ^^... even though the game is LONG gone.
Well ive tried to get into many Betas, Anarchy Online, Atriarch, Jumpgate... but I think my damn geographical location puts me on teh bottom of the list... I tend to lie about my PC spec\'s to though ^^... but how would they know.
While my experiance is small... Ive read and followed alot of MMORPGs over the years... Horizons being the latest and the last (its gotten suck now) I sortta consider my self an informant about MMORPGs and what can make them great and what doesnt (hence the reason im also making my own).
Stay tuned for Info in the not to distant future about \"Legends of Eden\", bah so teh name stinks... but its only a working name, an MMORPG with spunk.
-
Unfortunatly Kendaro, I did not draw my sig image, it\'s from a Magic: The Gathering card (Elven Ranger; Alliances Set). And I thought the Nolthrir lived underwater and had green skin. Actually it was meant to be more like the other Elf race, the Dermorians, aside from the obviously conflicting hair color, oh well, best I could come up with.

Holy crapola! A new person who can spell!!!
Seriously though, about the whole mmorpg experience, from what I\'ve seen in playing Everquest, that game did a great many things mostly right - - but with a chunk dead wrong. Sorta spoiled the experience (btw, if you play Eq, do NOT play a Barabarian Warrior Smith/Tailor .....geez, its like almost impossible to get anywhere...). Eq, while fun at times, also, at least for me, contained large helpings of frustration. I have spent as long as four hours, some of it with help, trying to recover dead bodies....before giving up. I have purposely drowned myself to escape a water trap after swimming around for 2 hours +.......
Developers: DO NOT PUT ZONES IN THE MIDDLE OF DARK WINDY TWISTY TUNNELS!! That was definately one of Eq\'s retarded features - I could deal with zones, but I mean, come on, don\'t put half of em some place where your libel to wonder back and forth ACROSS the fr**** zone.... It\'s not just me either, I\'d often seen new players stuck in a cavern, because they hadn\'t learned the art of walking backwards yet...or the gama controls. Anyway, another good idea: when you have a big old oil lamp, you should always be able to see your feet, except maybe HEAVY fog or smoke....unlike Eq, where half the time, you\'d be someplace that was %100 absorbent to light. Just eliminate the little retarded things that game did, or in this case, heh, just don\'t put them in inthe first place, and PS will not become POS, but will be a truly great game. There...

ok fine i\'ll admit it i USED to play runescape but not no more :]

Just a few of the many games I play/played:
*Nexus, Kingdom of the Winds = still a subscriber, mainly for the community...or rather, the social circle my characters there have made over the years.
*Dark Ages = beta tester and subscriber. Cancelled the account now, due to the policies set up by both GM\'s and players in multiple positions.
*Elemental Saga = beta tester. If they only listened to me and many others, they would probably be in commercial now. Alas, they are back to the drawing board with no plan to release commercial. This is classic example of allowing rampant pk/griefing does to a game.
*Dark Age of Camelot =subscriber.
*Myth of Soma = beta tester
*Lunatix = subscriber
*Xenimus = could not even leave the safe zone to try and better my characters.
*Runescape = no longer play, due to the influx of non-rp\'ers only wanting a cyber date =/
*Furcadia = no longer play. Was quite interesting to create \"dreams\".
*Quest = beta tester.
...and this is only a portion of the MMORPG\'s I play/played, not including text MUD\'s.
Patiently awaiting:
*Planeshift
*CoH
*NWN

I know you meant nothing by it :) It just sounded like you thought you were talking to a guy, so I thought I\'d have a little fun with you ;)
:)

I played and still play runescape. It dosen\'t suck. It\'s probably the best free MMORPG out there.
All you people just got burned out on it. Got frustrated, and ran away because you couldn\'t handle people pissing you off. People are cheap. Get over it, really. It will happen on planeshift too. People will scam, cheat, and generally be nasty. Not at first, but it will get that way, just like every other MMORPG has. People will be calling other people n00bs.
-
Hmm that i can recall off the top of my head.
Ultima online,Dark ages,Everquest,Asherons call,Dragonrealms,Gemstone III,Avalon,Graal,TEC,Runescape,Helbreath are the most recent I participated in.
Um I\'ll try to remeber all of them later and give a full listing be prepared for a book though.
-
I dont think it will get like that, sicne this is a free MMORPG, teh customer cant say... \"HEY i pay for this dont tell me how to act\", So us GM\'s can ban, kick and permma ban with little to no regret, since teh reprocussions are nill... and i for one want to see strict rules inforced on ingame conduct(not roleplaying, but on general conduct between people, unless ther actualy roleplaying being a nasty in which case its fine)...
If I see any one being an Ass, scamming, anything that ticks me off and noticably ticks others of as well... I\'ll boot that offending players backside out so fast they\'ll wonder what in laanxs name happened.
Thats why it wont get like RS and the other less policed games... and sicne we will be playing with you... that in its self should act as a form of insentive to be nice...
-
Yeah, IF you see it happening. Other MMORPGs, free ones, that are policed, still have a lot of problems. Like Graal, for example. They have all sorts of mods on the game, and still ppl act like asses. People getted banned all the time, and they also have a prison system for less serious offenses (ie, your char goes to jail for a week, you log in, your in a jail cell). And you can walk around and look at and make fun of the prisoners.
-
You go Bigfoot! D*mn RS has too many ppl acting like 3 year-olds. \"Give me stuff\",\"Help me beat this quest\" yada yada, etc.,etc.
But mistwalker the jail system really doesnt work. People still act like @$$es even if they are jail for a month... heck it might give them more to complain about.
