Very hard decision

Post by Leonthor »

As much as I hate doing it, I have been the only player online in our guild for 3 weeks other than Hamcat who popped on briefly when I was not around.
I have decided to remove my mage from the guild and join Magitek Knights, their primary focus is pvp but they have a raiding core also. Seeing as I like participating in both, thanks to Cleon. I feel this gives me the best chance to gear up for both rather than waiting in LFG queues (pve) all night that never pop.

I will come back to KoV if others return or I get word of a new game that looks appealing.

Miss you all, hope life is treating you well.

Quit playing Rift a while now, felt like more of the same. Plus with 3 Souls you kinda feel over burdoned with all the skills. Been playing many offline games, trying to beat Fallout: New Vegas before Skyrim hits. Only MMO I'm looking forward to is Guild Wars 2. If no one has looked into it, might want to now.

Dude, don't feel bad. It's tough to play an MMO with no community.

"game feels like more of the same"....
Exactly what i think of all massive online games anymore. it's why i'm not around.

However, for about 7 months an English server started in "Uncharted Waters Online". It's actually different and good. If you want to check it out, don't immediately judge it's online information because it's originally an Asian Mmorpg. I've never liked Asian online games at all, but this one is different. I'm in a small guild of long-time online gaming friends. If any of you want to try it, you can join it.

Yates! Wow, we haven't seen you around in a long time.

I agree, MMOs are starting to feel like a lot of the same stuff. I end up liking their unique parts (like rifts/world events in Rift) for a bit, but then grow bored quickly.

If Rift had added some RvR component (besides BGs), it could have had me hooked for a while. No game since DAoC (including WAR) has done this well IMO.

Agreed completely, Guild Wars 2 might interest me for awhile... But it feels as if I'm always chasing that feeling DAoC gave me.

until a true RVR game comes out there won't be a very good MMO. Needs at least 3-4 factions to make it work. Hopefully in my lifespan they will make it work and get something out.

Side Note server transfers are comming soon. I'll be on Sunrest.

DAoC ... I doubt it. Mythic had there last Hurah with Warhammer. Although they are not entirely to blame - The acquisition of Mythic by EA certainly hampered the launch of the game. EA historically has launched FPS games, console games, etc. The acquisition of Mythic was there attempt to get back into the MMO space after they saw the $$$$'s flowing into Blizzards bank accounts.

Ah well. Sonya Quit, Sicyn sucks and the concept of the relics are long forgotten. /release /rinse /repeat.

It would be really nice if someone came up with a new creative MMO concept. I am still playing RIFT with 2-3 friends and EVE with some others.

I vote with all come up with a new game and have Sicyn write the code. He looks bored. :)

I may try to log on this weekend for a bit, but I have canceled my account and only have 3 days of play time left on it.
It was cool getting to say Hi to you in game the other day, even with moving my 50 mage on Harrow to the other guild, the game itself was showing signs of being more of the same grind WoW was at max level and with only warfronts for active pvp...
Lets just say it left me feeling uninspired to push on.

Really having fun with the couple of games I have for my PS3 and playing DDO the last few days.

Hey guys, good to see everyone chatting it up. Yates, how have you been, brother?

I just came back after a 7 month break from gaming. Went through yet a second divorce. This time I married a foreign woman, and she used me for citizenship and ran off (with all my dough) once she had the card.

Just my luck, eh?

Anyhow, moving right along now and trying to get back into the swing of things since my recovery. I just can't catch a break.

...or is it, breaks are the only thing I am catching?!

Either way, I am back. Is anything fun going on?

Meanwhile, I am just biding time playing with a Druid in WoW... sadly enough, WoW feels more like a Facebook game these days.

Repetitive and pointless.

Well, Rift is free for a week as they celebrate their "half birthday".
And by the time I get around to writing this there are only 4 days left.

Anyone want to join up and tool around on Harrow/Defiant before time runs out?

I might log to rift and hangout for a bit, but it's nice to see you still fighting Cleon! I hope all is well and for happier times to come. As of now I am watching Guild Wars 2 develop. It looks very promising with a different combat style and different group mechanics. I suggest you look it up. I also am paying attention to Star Wars: The Old Republic, just to see if it amounts to anything. As of right now I have only been fiddling around with Starcraft 2 that my buddy got me into and recently picked up Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
