A friend of mine is considering it, but my reply on joining him is an emphatic no. Zalis Send a noteboard - 07/12/2010 02:15:27 PM
I learned my MMMORPG lesson ten years ago with Asheron's Call.

If anything, I really admire what Blizzard has done with WoW. It's the MMORPG I'd play if I still played 'em. The setting is rich, the support & development are top-notch. I even tinkered around for a few weeks on a friend's private server years ago. It wasn't the same experience with only a handful of players, but I could see the attraction.

The thing is, I just can't do it. I've sworn them off, because I don't like being on a treadmill. (no matter how convenient it's been made) Too much time and having to pay to waste it. I'll stick to more contained experiences... like L4D2, Borderlands & Fallout.
The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.

I agree, that's why I quit before. Twice, actually. Aemon - 07/12/2010 03:59:09 PM 706 Views
The "mini-instanced" thing you refer to is what they call call "phasing". TMJ - 07/12/2010 02:19:04 PM 614 Views
Sure, I understand that part, I just don't know how it works when you pull in other players. Aemon - 07/12/2010 04:07:50 PM 599 Views

Great. j-whitt987 - 07/12/2010 02:21:54 PM 665 Views
If you've tried it and didn't like it, the changes won't convince you to play. Aemon - 07/12/2010 04:15:04 PM 610 Views
Get me excited then kick me in the head then. *NM* j-whitt987 - 10/12/2010 12:32:54 AM 297 Views

I haven't installed it yet, but it's dead week so I probably won't get to play much for a while LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 02:53:23 PM 635 Views

I was excited about that initially. Aemon - 07/12/2010 04:23:47 PM 697 Views

yah, I always forget DKs. I haven't been in BGs since the breaking LadyLorraine - 09/12/2010 02:09:52 PM 630 Views
On the plus side, DK glyphs sell like hotcakes, so I'm fine with some OP DK fun. *NM* Aemon - 09/12/2010 04:58:11 PM 335 Views
EVERYTHING is selling like hotcakes. Macharius - 10/12/2010 02:14:37 PM 577 Views
Yeah? On my server I can't get much other than DK glyphs to go. Aemon - 10/12/2010 03:23:07 PM 588 Views
