haha u kidding me right? the best MMO out there right now is WoW, nothing comes close and nothing ever will. Thats why 10 million people world wide play the game. The only problem with it is that sometiems u gotta deal with 12 year old noobs that cant heal for their life, or 12 year old noob warriors that cant hold aggro.

Wow will never come close to what UO was when it first came out. Now UO is shit though, but WOW is pretty lame as well. The whole PVP system is fucking gay, and the no looting shit is lame as fuck too.

I got Guild Wars for my laptop about a month ago and it runs pretty well. But I must say... It hasn't held my interest very long at all.
WoW used to own my life. I refuse to give those people any more of my money though.

For WoW, yeah, you have to pay a monthly subscription fee to play.
Guildwars only makes you pay once for the game and then you never pay them again.

OMG dude I cant believe you just said that... WoW is such a PIECE OF SHIT compared to old school UO.
You have no options in WoW, you cant just attack anyone for the hell of it. The few people who you can attack you cant loot when you kill them. Hell you cant even talk to your enemies, its all scrambled letters. You have to ask people of the same alliance to 'duel' if yu want to fight. What a piece of shit.
Old school UO, you could attack anyone, and when they died you could loot everything they owned, no mater how valuable, everything dropped. Then afterwards their ghosts would appear talking like OOooOOooO OOo, and you knew they were bitching cause they just got owned. so you promise to open a gate that would let them go to town, but it leads them to an island where they get stuck for 8 hours. Not to mention you could RECALL anywhere you liked, you could own a house, keep, or castle. You could give weapons/armor away (they werent Bound to you??!!?). And you could Steal from other people.... anything, even the keys to their house, then you could get in their house, and loot it completely.
All you young people who think WoW was the best, you will never understand the legacy of UO and how it surpassed all other online games that exist today. WoW is seriously like scraps of shitty meat put on the floor for us by comparison.
Anyways.... If you want a decent online game that is free, check out Travian, its a free online browser game. Its slow real time, but you can attack and pillage other peoples villages.
Also check out Darkfall.. its a 3d game that is hardcore PvP.. (attack and kill anyone, even in town, full loot; you can build cities and ships and attack other peoples cities. Over 500 spells. Real time weather, bunch of quests, and craft all your own items. It hasnt come out yet, but the beta is supposedly coming out (december 20th..?).

WoW is a big pile of shit. Gimme old school (velious at the LATEST) EQ anyday. EQ does suck now, though.
Is EQ 2 bad? I never played it, I don't think my computer would run it...

UO still runs and has people playing but the game has changed so much that you will not be getting the gameplay everyone is talking about. UO has been shit for a few years now.
I still like DAOC Classic Servers

There are UO offline servers available, where the people who run them have the ability to undo many of the patches that made UO suck... as well as change the gameplay rules (i.e. reds get no statloss when they die).
Although they're free to play, they usually never have more than 500 people playing at one time, which is shit considering the mapsize, and the lag is usually less than desirable.
Im thinking about reinstalling counter strike after my semester ends and playing for a while.... mabye.

UO was some of the more fun times in my life, which is sad, cuz it's a video game. But I used to probably make people cry IRL. I'd steal their house key/rune, loot it, deed it, sell them the deed back and steal the deed out of their backpack. They'd attack me, and I'd kill them.
I was ruthless, I tell you what. No game has ever touched the fun that could be achieved in that game.. it was freedom!
I have fun with WoW though.

Yeah. If you can't get into WoW.. don't bother at the moment. I'm kind of just waiting for a new one myself, but a few RL friends play WoW so it's something to do.

i have to say WoW does suck a nipple. so many people no life it, just wasting all their time pissing around on some game.
runescape.. yes the graphics suck, but its free, and if you own a decent ish character, its not too bad if you have a hangover.
just go own people in the "wild".

Theres a game called shadowbane. Its pretty old, and heavily PvP based. I think theres no more monthly subscription through, so if you go pay 10$ for the game itself, you can play online all you want.
When I played it when it first came out, it was pure lag... So I really hated it cause I couldn''t PvP. But they've long since resolved those issues, and I heard it can be pretty fun, especially If you have no baseline to compare it against ...
If I were you I would give that game a shot, then wait for Darkfall.. Or just jump on the CS bandwagon. Theres a thread on it up above.. At least youll be playing with a bunch of other shroomery members.
Try Travian also, especially if you have a crappy computer.... That game is addictive from what I understand

When i was 12, i was the fucking master of diablo 2. I had a level 86 sorceress with maxed out ice skills, shako, and all the rare kickass magic find/uniqe items you could think of.
Just cause some one is a noob, doesnt mean they are 12.

I was going more for the... just cause some one sucks, doesn't mean they are 12 thing. They could be any age...
You got a problem with my phrasing?! 
Anyway...
I used to have a game that was based around japanese warriors and stuff. You could be a few different characters, and based on which character it was, you could have a lion, tiger, or other animals and such.
It was pretty fun, and worth the while, but I ended up deleting it because i get too sucked into games when I play them. I end up doing nothing all day, sometimes even blowing off friends so i can keep playing.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? I downloaded it, I didn't buy it. It was a gig or so.

holy shit that sounds like it used to be a shit-ton of fun
i thought diablo1 pvp and loot system(drop all items when killed from monster) was the best, followed closely by diablo2 tricking people in hardcore mode to give me loot and killing them(not to mention tricking strangers into giving me their account and hardcore duels cause i had like 5 sets of the best stuff possible).
considering i can't try out the old UO system, i still have to go with hardcore mode being the best idea ever to hit a video game(i would like to take this time to mention HELLGATE FUCKING BLOWS)
i'll definitely check out darkfall

If you really want you can download UO offline; its pretty much old school uo that someone has set up on their own servers. Still kill people, still full loot, but its not as good, cause back in the day people didnt expect to get murdered. Now its just like 1/50th player population, more lag, and no newbies to shank heh.
