Passing the time for dummies.
« on: November 22, 2004, 12:29:21 am »
Ok so CB is not out yet.

How are YOU gonna pass the time?

I happen to be highly skilled in: passing the time, killing the time, wasting my time, frittering away my time, and wasting your time.

So I made this guide entitled \"Passing the time for dummies.\"

What is the situation?
Here\'s the story so far, we are all MMORPG fans, that\'s why we\'re here. We\'ve all been gifted enough to stumble upon this once-in-a-lifetime gem, Planeshift. The only problem is that it\'s not out now. But none of us wanna give up our hopes in this amazing game do we? Sure, you can roleplay, but that gets boring after (four years, I believe?) so now we need to pass the time.

Analysis
I\'ve spent the greater part of today, researching MMORPGs, games, anything that will entertain until the release of CB. And here\'s what I found:

The greater majority of free MMORPGs, lack quality, some of these include Eternal Lands, Spoonscape (R u n e s c a p e), and Ogreisland.

From here I had to make a choice: waste my time getting into the crappy ones, OR find high quality games.

I chose the latter.

So here\'s where my real investigation began. I began by searching forums, lists, anything that would be a valuable resource. It was slim pickings. But, by the end of the day I have come to this conclusion.

Why do we need fully free games? I mean, we\'re just passing the time until CB releases, so here\'s a list I\'ve assembled with free TRIAL versions of games I hope you will all enjoy.

Dark Age of Camelot

Well, this game boasts a 9.1 or \"Superb\" from the revered www.gamespot.com. I haven\'t played yet, you see, it has a large file size, gonna take me 8 hours to download, but looks like it might be worth it.

Astonia 3

(create account to download)
Haven\'t played this one yet, have heard little feedback, but SUPPOSED to be ok.

Uhhhhhh, yeah that\'s it, I said quality not quantity.

Tell ya what I will try to do more research and update my list further.

Have fun killing time!!

thats funny, i was also searching for more free games last night. i didnt get very far tho, as i soon remembered that playing StarCraft B.net is still free, so... thats where most of my spare time goes now. (better spent than doing homework, wouldnt you say :) )

RoE is a ton better than RS. RS doesn\'t even have party or guild-support. The combat in RS is sickening.

Agreed. I should slap my friend for asking me to play RS. (He stayed up till 3 AM playing it!!)

I never said RS was better than RoE. I said it was a little reminiscent.

Yeah, I have a few friends playing RS as well. Ive been trying unsuccessfully to convert them. RS is addicting though. I used to play it quite a bit before I finally came to my senses. Now I can\'t stand it.

Ah, you too! What level did you finally realize it was pointless? I think I stopped at 60 something. I finally quit after mining thousands of coal. Looking back, I realized I wasted hours of nothing but clicking, and would waste hours smithing it all.
