MMO's what is your take?
Chadly:
So what is your take on multi-player online games?
The very first online real time strategy game i played was Was Warcraft and Warcraft 2 via a service called Kali, which tricked the game into thinking it was being played on a BBS. This was back in 95 i beleive and i payed like 20 bucks for it. It was very cool to play WC with folks from all over the world literally.
Todays games like WOW are neat but expensive. Granted i still play on Battlenet for free, but im turned off on the games that i have to buy in the store and pay a monthy fee. Diablo Rules tho.
Thoughts and oppions anyone??????

Firstly, Diablo 3 is crap. It rules for the first 10 hours then it sucks donkey balls.
Although I understand people's objection to paying for a game like WoW, I think the benefits outweigh the negatives. I know that any bug in WoW will be fixed promptly, I know that once a lot of the content is done, Blizzard will release more things to do. A lot of the new dungeons and content areas are brought out without having to buy an expansion every two minutes. And I know that a lot of 12 year olds aren't playing the game and pissing me off with their bullshit pretending to be adults shit because they can't afford to play it.
Chadly:
Well i agree Klytos. I am definately not 12 years old. ha. Wow has had i beleive 3 or four expansion packs since it's inception. Still I find playing on Battlenet fun, except for player killers. I have spent a fortune on Wow monthly cards and havent played for some time... :)

I'm one of those gamers who cringes every time multiplayer features of any kind are added to single-player games that I like (Assassin's Creed series, cough cough), so naturally, I've never ventured into the MMO genre. Getting The Old Republic instead of KOTOR 3 was one of the worst nut-kicks I can think of in recent gaming memory. Down with MMOs!
Blackthorne:
Eh, MMOs are fun in theory, but I'm of the opinion that almost 90% of just sucks. At least 90% of the people who meet in online games. The other 10% are mad cool, but having to deal with those dickheads just sucks.
Even worse? Playing online on X-Box. The kind of insults, racial slurs and other flaming vulgarity used by 12 year olds in there is staggering.
