General Discussion

Both AoC and WAR are horrible so I guess it's either time to wait for something else to release or go back to an older MMO...but which one.

I guess the choices are:

1. Vanguard
2. LOTR
3. WoW
4. SWG (umm..wait...no)
5. Eve (although I couldn't really get into it at all)

With LOTR and WoW both having new expansions coming soon, I'm debating on playing one of those 2 again.

What do you guys think?

#4, but not the one run by Sony

If you don't like WAR, then you're basically screwed. None of the other choice are worth anyone's time. Wait for November and buy GTA4 for the PC.

between LOTRO and WOW.. i would say LOTRO, it has a more interesting storyline

Google "ultima online private"

;D

Lol people will give there own favortie mmo so you gonne play somelse his favorite mmo?

And vanguard is not old LotR also not old.

And someone who loved lotr and wow i doub have ever realy played eve.

But you answer that already yourself(although i couldn't get into this game at all)dont mention games you know looks hardcore and many claimed have played but it looks coool mention it anyway:P

Topic failed:P

Vanguard started open free trial 2 weeks ago, and since their 6th major patch it has gotten some decent facelift, it could be worth checking out.

WoW and LOTR ofcourse coming up with new patches, which one is more boring I'm not one to say =) Could be interesting timesink both of them, but if you're a new to either, it takes half a year before you're in the end of the linear content.

Eve is getting walking in stations patch/addon soon, before the year is out, so it could get more interesting. Currently in mmorpg.com Eve forums are flooded with manuals how to get into it better. Of course its a bit niche game type, but those manuals really get you going better than the tutorial.

I've decided also give War and AoC some time to mature, jumping into leaking ship is just a bit meh.

You could consider some even older ones too, EQ2? Also free trial, tho level limited. Its grafics at least are up to date, and its quite sweet game if ya like PVE and nature. You could try DAoC, given its not on its golden age anymore, its thriwing on. First 4 addons come free with the trial, and even without the latest grafic engine that ya have to pay for, its grafics are extraordinary good. Serious alternative for War atleast, and its definetly mature candy. AC dinged its 100th patch/addon, it has also changed to be more easily to get into.

Darkfall has started its closed beta invitations, step by step they're moving into more people and towards open beta, but thats ofcourse another serious UO niche game not all may like.

I am pretty much in the same boat... I tried out the newer stuff, and wasn't tempted to stay. The MMOGs I am truly looking forward to are still a long way off. I figure since just about everything is a WoW clone with a few "new" twists, I might as well continue playing WoW for now...

Heh, I never left(Anarchy Online) but I haven't had the chance to try WAR yet as it's still in the mail.
