/rttp/ what 8 bit/16 bit games should i beat?[views:55347][posts:186]________________________________________ [Dec 16,2009 3:03pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] Well that too. Literally, those two games (and maybe Morrowind/Elder Scrolls series) (and NetHack) are most of the reason I'm doing the vidja game school thing. The sandbox thing has been seriously underexplored in CRPGs. |

| _________________________________ [Dec 16,2009 3:10pm - reimroc ""] with both your love of fantasy i'm really surprised you and aril do not play any MMORPGs. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 16,2009 3:14pm - arilliusbm ""] I used to play them. They are more addicting than heroin, and I hate the people that play them. I'd rather whack off in a donkeys nostril than play modern mmorpgs. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 16,2009 3:17pm - Martins ""] I don't get how people like MMOs. |

I'd rather whack off in a donkeys nostril than play modern mmorpgs. i back this. ultima online was cool back in the day when i was a lad. then i played a stint of everquest and i regretted it, then i played wow for a few months and i really regretted it. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 16,2009 3:55pm - arilliusbm ""] The last one I really played was star wars galaxies. I was so poor, couldn't afford a damn house on bespin and eventually gave up after I was banned for disrupting a "wedding" |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 16,2009 3:56pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] a) I play pen-and-paper RPGs, which experience has led me to perceive some pretty big gaps in the MMO experience (most of which seem to be plugged up with the morphine-drip-style level ding and epic dropz). b) Back in the day I used to play text-based MUDs, which at least have the Colossal Caves text/imagination thing going on, and were usually much more thematically in line with my style of gaming (sandbox sword and sorcery, not plot-railroad high fantasy or anime-tinged powergaming). c) Night elf Mohawk. |

| _________________________________ [Dec 16,2009 3:59pm - reimroc ""] i love high fantasy. i loved everquest. i loved dark age of camelot. i play a mean orc or dwarf or elf depending on the game and my mood. i did also have a short stint with D&D: Online. |

Its not all social networking with a backdrop of a fantasy universe. Most if not all good fantasy and sci-fi MMOs have servers or realms devoted for strictly role-playing. The same as you would do in any pen and paper RPG. These servers within the game are almost always heavily moderated and only fantasy names found within the given games universe are allowed and most guilds will not let you in unless you stay in character while you're in-game. I remember when I first installed WoW and made a character on an RP server. I logged on and started asking normal human questions to the other players about the game. I then proceeded to get bitched at by 10 different people in the world chat for speaking out of character lol. oh and they were bitching at me while in character. some of those players were really creative as far as how they portrayed their race and how that race would speak in person via chat. |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 16,2009 4:37pm - arktonymous ""] Starcraft is the best online game ever. It's Newton's 4th law. RP servers in MMOs are legit but they're held back by the game and it's players...and the inherent need to depend on them. And the time required to play them - which is mostly spent travelling or grinding. |
