Unless they improved the game's cost it will probably only make me sit there staring at it for a few hours wishing I could play

Just looked, and apparently they did reduce the price to the oh-so-popular 15 dollars USD per month. Hmm... nah, probably still won't play. Just not enough money to go around these days. Now, if they made it 10...

[Granite26]

Wait, isn't Paranoia being released as D20 these days?

[beorn080]

By D20 I merely meant the generic fantasy based worlds and other simplistic worlds. The only MMORPG I can think of that isn't fantasy based is The Matrix Online, which I don't even know if its still up. There are several space based MMOs but those tend to be ship to ship stuff.

Anarchy Online?

Bioware's making a Star Wars MMO.  Bioware and Star Wars seem to do well together, I think it'll be good, but I know nothing about it except something about a droid.  If it's the evil droid from KotOR, I'm sold.

[Servant Corps]

As a fan of the KOTOR series, let me say that I hate the Star Wars MMO, so meh. Might be great, but the series is drifiting away from my interests, so it's alright.

The evil droid you're talking about is HK-47, and he has a cameo in that first Star Wars MMO. But personally, I'm a fan of Kreia, that stupid Mary Sue.

The Star Wars MMO that's out now is not realted to KOTOR in any way shape or form (besides the fact they are both Star Wars games). The new game, The Old Republic, will be an online installment of KOTOR, right down to the storydriven gameplay and NPC party members who stick with you.

There's a Star Trek one on the horizon too...

[Servant Corps]

Tilla: I know, but I still going to hate the second TOR game very much so. I plainly don't like MMOs. That's just a fact. PvP MMOs I hate less, but I still hate them.

...NPC party members? Is each party going to have 6 clones of the whiny Carth Osani? Or are the NPCs randomly generated?

[catoblepas]

I don't think I'd ever play the old republic game that Bioware is making. The whole 'party members in an mmo' thing reminds me a bit too much of a game I used to play, granada espada, that also used that. Walking into a town square and seeing a dozen other copies of the same npc walking around as party members to different players made for...less then immersive gameplay in my opinion, whatever Bioware says it will be like, plus all the charcter models seem to be about as anatomically correct as a barbie doll, yech. On the subject of GOOD FREE online mmos, I'd say the pickings are pretty slim, closest I have seen was a mud based on the wheel of time series.

I've never found a good free MMO.  Stopped looking after a while.  I'm just sticking to the good non-free MMO City of Heroes/Villains.

Grinding, to a certain extent, but the first...15 or so levels out of 50 are extremely fast, and the rest are rather fast.  Most customization I've ever seen allowed in an MMO, with the character creator allowing extreme customization of the appearance of your character and the rewards for many things being more stuff to make your character look awesome.  And the major update coming soon that will add a mission editor.

Missions get a bit repetitive after a while, especially the newspaper/police radio missions.  However, the plot is nice, it's all a Nemesis plot, and the developers listen to the players.  Plus, the developers have a...good sense of humor.

...wait, what happened to the topic?

I used to play it. I think I'm a 6 months vet or something. Too much grindy for me and past level 35, it requires most time I'm willing to give. PLus I have enough level 50s. I think the power sets are too limiting. Champions online will be better on that aspect.

What do you guy's think of Player-run economies?

[Jackrabbit]

That assumes that the players know anything about economies and how to run them well. Or that it is well made so we can't screw it up too bad.

I remember back in that boring spaceship game... whatsitcalled....
Nevermind.
But we did have the equivilant of a "Credit Crisis", in which all of the anti-matter shells plummeted in price.

(The antimatter shell is the prime trade good of most people who specialize in "Supply and Demand")
Boy... that was hell.
