November 8th. EQ2 ships!

Or just kill yourself right now. There's no point in delaying the inevitable.

[DrSpike]

I think I'll take a chance and wait and see.

I will never buy this game. There's nothing to do but kill monster, loot it, repeat.

[DrSpike]

That's somewhat blinkered. What's your favourite game? I bet I can put it in the same light you put MMORPGs in.

Nov. 9 is Halo 2

True, but I only pay for my games once, not $10 a month to do the same thing over and over.

I have nothing against MMORPG's, just boring carebear games that present no challenge. EQ is basically a "levelquest" where you just fight a new monster just to gain a new level to fight a tougher monster to gain new levels to fight an even tougher monster, etc.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to play a game without pvp combat. I remember playing Ultima Online back in 1997/98 and always worrying about being murdered. Of course it sucked when it happened, but it made it 100x more fun then just fighting monsters with no risk. I played Everquest for a month when it came out and I think I died once. No challenge whatsoever.

Yeah, but I don't recall him posting in any of my CoH threads.

The forum archive barely seems to go back 5 months any more. If it went further I could point you to the big thread where I posted all my CoH avatars.

Apolyton has been so overloaded in recent months that I have ignored the place for weeks at a time as I get 'server too busy' messages after a couple of posts. I know, its my fault for being too cheap to upgrade to the premium service

Pretty much all MMORPG's add content as they go though, so it isn't always the same. I agree it isn't everyone's cup of tea, but continous progression and group dynamics keep many people playing.

Must have missed it; I played about 3 months ago and had a thread.

bump

no I don't have it. Like I've said, I've never played a MMORPG before.

I'd like to check it out before I buy.

This new wave of two-letter abbreviations is getting out of hand.

[FrustratedPoet]

EQ2 is a three-letter abbreviation.

[FrustratedPoet]

/me wonders if Dr.Spike will post what I think he's going to post.

[DrSpike]

What do you think I am going to post?
