i think wows boring you get to level 70 and thats it really, theres no story, pvp ent that fun after a while and the graphics are cartoonyzavid
No story?You must notread at all, WoW has a huge story, and it is very detailed. Graphics are cartoony, big woop, that means u dont need a 2000 dollar computer to play.
People hate on WoW because they've never tried, and if they have, they had a crappy guild or they couldn't get end game content. Also because you pay 13 dollars a month. So let's sayu play WoW for a year.. u waste like 160 dollars, ok and in this year you haven't bought another game. I know people who buy 5 games a year or so, thats 300 dollars right there. So think about it the monthly fee is what keeps the game and the new content alive.
To this day FFXI is still the best MMORPG made to my opinion, its hard, its fun, keeps you interested, best story, and not alot of 14 year olds play it.
The only reason i stopped playing is because of the gil sellers and bots, they screwed over some of the economy and make it really hard to get drops.
People never give FFXI a chance because they get level 10 and become to lazy to find a group and level up.
When youhit 65 plus and do a level 3 weapon chain with ancient magic bursts theres no better feeling.
You're kidding? That game is just a big grind fest with no variation. Quests are just dumb and untill you get a chocobo it takes years to get anywhere. SWG was indeed great, but SoE ruined it yeah. I'd love to see a SWG 2. So far, the best game has been WoW, yes you don't want to hear that, but it's true. They took everything that's good about MMORPG and made a very unoriginal but perfect game. It's arcady feel makes gameplay fun. Gameplay in FFXI, Ragnarok Online, Lineage etc just isn't fun, you only care about lvling your char.To this day FFXI is still the best MMORPG made to my opinion, its hard, its fun, keeps you interested, best story, and not alot of 14 year olds play it.

Apparently you like quests that are Kill 10 of this guy, and pick up 10 of these items right? Atleast quests in FFXI are fun, unique, and not repetitive. And it is a grind, ill admit, but its more fun grinding with 5 people for hours, than grinding by ur self.
And it only takes long to get anywhere at the start because you have none of the teleport crystals, choco license or a airship pass, once you all that and its not hard to get , you get anywhere fairly quick.
I know people are going to knock me for saying this but give Vanguard a shot. It's $39 now and they have merged my section of servers so there are a lot of people to interact with. I've been playing since launch and although it's had it's ups and downs, it still remains a fun and challenging game. I don't expect MMO's to be perfect and glitch free but I will only pay if the fun factor is there.
WoW has a fun world but I personally can't stand the animation for very long. I've never been into cartoony games no matter what genre.
R.I.P the Pre-CU SWG...
I heard Vanguard 's community is only young people..I have no clue if thats true or not. So a person can pay one fee for LoTR online and never have to pay again? hmmm sounds interesting.A1B2C3CAL
I don't know where you heard that from. I'm 32 years old and most of my guild all vary in age from college to well older than me. Every game has immature players but I would not say that Vanguard should be labeled as having only young players. Even if they are, that doesn't necessarily mean anything bad.
Maybe I'm odd but I like to think for myself instead of not trying a game based on bad rumors.
To the OP, there's a ton of info(movies, screens, previews) on lots of MMO's here on Gamespot. Look through some and see what catches your eye because you're going to see people on both sides of the fence on every game.

This is where I heard/read the above statement I mentioned. Review I like to think for myself also, i'm just asking others for opinions...nothing wrong with that.[QUOTE="chatri10"]If you never try WoW, then you should try it now. It's still the best mmorpg on the market.BounceDKIt's pretty sad if World of Copycraft is the best mmo out there. That game is truly the dumbest mmo I've ever tried.
The popularity and the numbers doesn't lie. I'm sure there are also games that you love and others hate and call it dumb. You like some games you hate some games that's just the way it is. Bashing it and calling it dumb is not necessary and you're not really helping the OP. There's no need to start a flame war here.
And right below that guy's bad experience are two people who give the game 9's and one below them with a 7 and one below him with a 6. My point is that the only unbiased opinion I trust is my own. I could go give a WoW a horrible review and back it up with my experiences but that doesn't change someone else's experience with the game.
I wasn't implying you don't think for yourself :) It's always smart to research anything you might be wanting to try. Reviews are just personal opinions whether they are GS or us undividuals.
