RE: The Everquest Chronicles: The Entrance to Blackburrow
My first MMORPG was Guild Wars 1, loved that game, played for hours upon hours, even when I quit I went back to it after a couple of months, farming, grinding, better items, better armor, more damage, more skills, I just kept going at it... and the friends I made along the way on TeamSpeak and ventrilo, those were the times... After Guild Wars 1 I went for the good old World of Warcraft, to be more specific, World Of Warcraft on a pirate server, I was a kid, I had no money to pay and my parents were scared that their credit card was going to be stolen if they put it on the internet... I played for years on the pirate server, bought the game in order to support Blizzard, and when I grew up ended up paying for a subscription to the real servers, played for years again, the dungeons, the parties, I was 16 and just in my class there were 9 guys playing... After it I went to the good Guild Wars 2, I was 18, played the beta, and when the full release came out I got addicted to it, I played so much that I stopped going to college, stopped going out, I just wanted to play Guild Wars 2 and farm my legendary, ended up quitting games at the age of 20, I sometimes go back, but it's not the same thing, I don't have any friends there anymore, I just play alone and it just isn't the same...
I hear you there, it was all about the people.. even though I used to solo a lot I was always in a guild and did guildy things.
I had a go at Guild Wars too, that was the one with no monthly fee. It didnt grip me for long, though I think I still have the original box. You cant really sell second hand MMO boxes can you?
Probably not... but maybe in 30 or 40 years you can get some collector to buy it xD
I'm saving them, when the time comes I'll sell them to a collector for 100x the profit xD And I'll probably be able to tell my kids and grandkids that I had a great time playing with my Guildmates!
You really were a Guild Wars fan! I have a load of these too, but mine are EQ, EQ2, WoW, DAOC, Anarchy Online.. I tried just about all of them!
Never got into EQ or Anarchy Online... WoW I got the first 3 expansions here, but after that it went to shit... I played some EvE Online too and Blade and Soul which is mostly an asian focused MMORPG where, if you aren't Asian, you play PvP and have no idea what the fuck is happening...
Other than those I dipped my toe very shortly in Minecraft MMO servers (before it was cool) and aion...
If I went back to MMO I would probably be playing Elder scrolls online the game has a lot of development and it looks really cool. But why go back to gaming now if blockchain-based MMORPG might be just around the corner XD
Eve Online.. the only other truly terrifying game I have played.. that was harsh!
The good thing about EVE was the devs were great at messing up stuff, leading to the players striking the economy like a short while ago.
Great stuff.
Yeah, even though I'm not playing anymore I actually followed the player's "revolution"! EvE is starting to die out, even with their new F2P thing the game just isn't appealing anymore for new players, and the old players are just tired of the same stuff over and over again with small twists but not much...
I would love for them to do an EvE 2 with much better gameplay but I doubt they will ever do it... I now look at star citizen for the future, but from what I'm getting the game will be a mix of singleplayer with multiplayer.
Have you tried X4 foundations? I mean it's single player but it entertained me for some hours.
I know about them, I was once inclined to give them a try but couldn't "find" them online... but I might take another look at the series when I got more time, haven't been playing much lately since college and investing take a huge part of my day. I'm waiting for blockchain games to start picking up the pace for me to go back to gaming...
