MMO Recommendations?

[Lady Sayuri]

I'm looking for a new mmo to play. I used to play Ragnarok Online for the pc but I just can't get into it anymore. Alot of people tell me to play WoW...but I dunno. Can anyone recommend any good ones?

What sort of subject matter are you a fan of?
Fantasy? Sci-Fi? Super Heroes? Extremely cute things?

[Lady Sayuri]

I like fantasy, Super Heroes and the cutsy girlie stuff. ><

[-Batman-]

Fantasy?
Warcraft is fine, I just got sick of it for playing it so long (Three Years). Started up again.

I hear Aion is good if you like that grindin thing.

Super Heroes?
Champions Online, if you really like Supers, and even then I'd wait a few more weeks for there to be actual content.

DC Universe. Not out yet, don't even know the release date, but it'll be free to play.

I think I might start WoW. Does it really suck your life away like everyone says?

Short answer?

Yes, if you let it.

Short answer?

Yes, if you let it.

but the same goes for any MMO, really. If you think you are someone who is prone to MMO addiction then its best to either stay away or strictly monitor your usage. Some people lose their lives to MMO addiction but can still enjoy those games after recovering by playing in moderation

I love games but I just don't see how you can be so addicted to a game that it sucks you away from life.

Anyway, thanks for the info!

It's because WoW is very well crafted in the sense that you will 100% get a return as long as you invest time. There's rep grinding, there's honor farming, there's daily quests for income, professions, and even raiding over and over again until you complete a set of gear.

There's always a return on SOMETHING no matter how much time you sink into the game (unlike other MMOs), and it's easy to lose yourself trying to get that new piece of loot, setting aside outrageous hours to raid/do everything else in the game that you actually enjoy.

Tho WoW just gets to boring once you ding 80 and been hc raiding.. Then there's nothing left to do really.

Don't forget that is why they upgrade it.Soon it will be updtaed to level 90,100,and so on.Eventually there will be to many expansion packs,in my opinion.They should just make updates free.

Wow a former Ragnarok Player? Right on girl! ^^
I havent played RO in a loong time but they came up with the new free-to-play valkyrie server so i thought i'd delve in to midgard once more. It depends on which type of mmo player u fall into. The hardcore gamer would go for WoW or Aion. It has that quality that draws mmo gamers. If you like just plain fun with cutesy stuff you could go for Dragonica or Granado Espada. League of Legends looks pretty good too.

ouhhh well i used to play dragonica then i stopped because there wasnt anyone else playing with me. And i played on elga server T_T
Its fun isnt it? It's a whole lot better than maple that's for sure. I'm glad you're playing it.

[Mr. Panda]

You should totally try Hidden-RO if you want to try out a new RO-server. That's a pretty cool server.

Super Heroes?
Champions Online, if you really like Supers, and even then I'd wait a few more weeks for there to be actual content.

DC Universe. Not out yet, don't even know the release date, but it'll be free to play.

I'm interested. :o How good are those games?

[Shida12]

You should play Luna Online its a pretty cute game and real fun to play and the learning curve is little to nothing. Also theres CloudNine and although theres still bugs the GM's seem to be trying to work out everything ^^.

I wish I can tell you guys so much what Blizzard Entertainment have in store for WoW in 2011 but I can't! I'm so close to spilling secrets but rather not. xD

But you are right though. Just wait for it. =)
Kaplan will surprise everyone.

[Zandan]

I would suggest Perfect World, it has a very detailed character customization process so you can make a very girly type person. The graphics are very good as well, especially for a F2P game. Many people call it a WoW clone though I'll admit you can probably do a lot more in WoW.

[chocomallows]

I'm still playing Ragnarok online.hmmm cuteness try Flyff or Luminary almost all mobs are too cute to kill lol

[Lily Rock]

WoW IS addictive, i were stuck on that for like two years, then i just left, if you wanna stop play, don't but any gamecards, if you ever play. :P

WoW is pretty sucky, i used to play (LOLROFLHUNTERCOPTERWTFWTF!!) it, but i hit 80, and, all were achievment idiots, if you didn't have achievment, but know tactics and had the right armors/weapons/damage/healing/"tanking", they didn't want you in the group.
WoW = retarded cause of Wrath of the Lich King and cause of Achievments.

I can relate.
I've been playing since 2004, with an on again off again relationship with that game. I finally got stuck for good. @_@
Come Cataclysm we will blow your mind!
Sucky part is....you have to wait. =)

[Lily Rock]

Goddamnit, i won't pay 400 hundred for that(swedish kronor), i saving for drums.
Cataclysm doesn't look good, TBC were really great, if you count out that i were level 66 when Wrath got out.

Also, i gonna delete my account cause i don't want to have it anymore, and more the less, sell i can't...

The Burning Crusade took it's toll when players didn't like the world PVP on epic flyers or regular flyers alone (Halaa and all PVP realms). I personally believe it didn't kill PVP over all.

We have seen a trend per major patch days that players will continue to keep coming back to wow because of new updates. It tells us that our player are curious and interested of the new availabilities we provide. Then after a good 4-5 months or so we see a decline of accounts/players logging on.

When the Wrath of the Lich King came out, you must have noticed that all servers were packed and we were forced to create 18 new servers, even some having a free server transfer from a high populated server to a lower/newer server. 12.2 million and counting!

But it's sad to see you leave the Blizzard community.

Oh and, even though you may already had sold your account to someone, that's already a big sign of that account being compromised. You post that sort of info on the actual Blizzard forums and other GMs will all over it! lol

[Lily Rock]

I have not sold my acc lol, i don't even have the CD-Key left, it's gone, also the game cards.
I left WoW cause achievments is a screwup, also that players is MUCH MORE picky and annoying. : P

Even if you bought the game pack (CD-key + Instructional Booklet) ?
Oh that sucks. Sadly we can't do anything about that.

And to the record, I don't know -exactly- why the achievements were even created in the first place. I can't give you a definite answer there.

Prior being a GM, as a regular player gear score + achievements were utterly ridiculous imo. I understood why they are important. No one wants to deal with unexperienced and low geared players when trying to put together a 10-man Ice Crown Citadel pug.
