Title: A game to play
Post by: Numsgil on March 27, 2005, 08:54:41 PM: I need a new past time game. I'm looking for a MMO game with a more realistic economic nature.

Does anyone know of anything like that?

Post by: Numsgil on March 27, 2005, 10:08:53 PM: Found Project Entropia (I think someone was showing me this before. Was that you Zelos?)

Hopefully it satisfies my need to lead a small, unobtrusive life as a humble tradeer/craftsmen/gatherer.

Us high people need to lead humble virtual lives. :lol:

Post by: shvarz on March 27, 2005, 11:33:56 PM: Why MMO then? Nothing is more relaxing than shooting some baddies in FPS...

Post by: shvarz on March 28, 2005, 12:21:24 AM: Yeah, UT is nice. Such a frag fest... Although it is too fast and unpredictable for my taste. Getting blown every half a minute. I prefer Team Fortress.

Post by: Botsareus on March 28, 2005, 12:15:39 PM: CosmicRift (do not play TotalWar Zone its testing 1... 2... 3.. still) CosmicRift

About TotalWar this kids are lost in there , they do nothing but collect power cores to buy specials...

If you going to download, watch out for Terminator ,hehehe

Post by: Botsareus on March 28, 2005, 12:18:03 PM: Shvartz what does FPS stand for?

****
CounterStrike is like UT alot. People say CounterStrike is better , I dont know , I never played UT online , and only played CS once..
Title: A game to play
Post by: shvarz on March 28, 2005, 12:53:37 PM: First-Person Shooter

UT is nothing like CS (at least the major modes of gameplay). I've played CS a lot back when it was just appearing, from beta to beta 6. Then it became so popular that was not much fun anymore.

Post by: Botsareus on March 28, 2005, 07:17:03 PM: ok shvartz , I thought you were talking about a specific game when you sayed FPS...

*****

Scratch CosmicRift, they put the guest names back into chaos zone: It would of been ok, but this time they did not base it on the Ip, so I have no way of tracking players, :angry:

*********

The News :ph43r: In First Purson Games that dont need Internet , are:

The New Splinter sell got high rateings, have to find a good excuse so I will get it.
(although its for xbox, I can get it for ps2 , if you dont have a ps , then wait until it comes out for a PC, I am waiting for HALO2 to come out for pc :) )

Amen.

Those little analog sticks just give me a headache. :wacko:

For those that care, I just earned 30 cents (American) worth of virtual stuff in Project Entropia after spending all day on it.

Good to finally see a game that rewards effort. :lol:
Title: A game to play
Post by: Numsgil on March 29, 2005, 02:01:22 PM: Found out how Project Entropia can be doing so well if it doesn't cost a monthly subsription. Your items decay. And fast. Every swing of an axe costs about 6 PEC (which is like .6 cents).

Nothing like to good old days of Ultima Online where I made a mining character, mined some ore, went to my Blacksmithing character, made the ore into stuff, got massive skill increases and hand over fist of money.

Maybe I'll go play a nice game of solitare. Or get back on that tie bug :lol:

I'm warning you, Nums, you'll get exactly what you pay for.

Play EVE instead.

Post by: Zelos on March 30, 2005, 04:10:45 AM: EVE is good, sadly you ahve to pay, I prefer 4X games if you want to spend time

Post by: shvarz on March 30, 2005, 10:49:41 AM: have you guys tried RuneScape?
Title: A game to play
Post by: Zelos on March 30, 2005, 10:54:58 AM: yepp, sux ass. you can do alot of stuff, but its such a crappy graphic that I hate it. Snes feels better to look at than that does
Title: A game to play
Post by: PurpleYouko on March 30, 2005, 01:22:57 PM: If you want graphics then try Fairyland. (http://www.1010game.com/)

You get cute little anime style characters with pets and all sorts. Not a bad game but gets a bit boring after a few hours.

[span style=\'font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\']HUGE[/span] download though.

Post by: Zelos on March 30, 2005, 02:20:01 PM: I dont complain about graphic like that I want the latest. its just a ugly graphic in runescape, snes feels bettter, but got no 3D
Title: A game to play
Post by: PurpleYouko on March 30, 2005, 02:39:33 PM: I think Runescape is a little simplistic but I don't hate the graphics that much.
Title: A game to play
Post by: Numsgil on March 30, 2005, 02:55:15 PM: I played Runescape for a while. It isn't that bad. Better than most proffessional MMO in my opinion.

Eve Online is boring. I got it when it came out and I tried it again a year later. In both cases I got really bored within the first like 2 days.

Post by: PurpleYouko on March 30, 2005, 03:35:53 PM: I like Morrowind but it doesn't have an online option :(
Title: A game to play
Post by: Numsgil on March 30, 2005, 04:32:56 PM: Morrowind was fun for so long. That thing is absolutely huge. I spent like 2 weeks on side quests before I even started on the main quest.
Title: A game to play
Post by: PurpleYouko on March 30, 2005, 04:57:50 PM: Did you play the expansions?

I have both Bloodmoon and Tribunal on top of the main game.

I played a bunch in "God Mode" just to get a feel for it but that got boring so I restarted a bunch of different charachters to play normally. You get a completely different game if you play different type of charachters.

My favourite trick is to get a sword enchanted to capture souls into a soul gem every time you hit something with it. Then you can make all kinds of really cool magic items.

Post by: MightyPenguin on March 31, 2005, 05:32:27 PM: Let me get this straight. You got bored of EVE, but managed to complete Morrowind without strangling yourself with your own lower intestine through sheer boredom?

You one crazee mother, you know that?

Woah, who said I finished it?

I got to be Master Assassin/Thief and got pissed when I couldn't order anyone dead or skim things off the top of the theif guild.

The world was just too big, at least to have any kind of central stroyline. Spent alot of time just figuring where the heck I was. Would have been truly incredible if you weren't expected to explore everywhere and could just effect small areas more so.

Like climb to the top of the Thief guild and effect the theif guild. That would have been fun.

Still, it entertained me for a long time.

Post by: k0zm0 on April 01, 2005, 02:43:42 AM: I play only strategy. Nothing better than C&C:Generals, Alpha Centauri , CIV and one quite bit old game Netstorm.

Does anyone play Sea3d? You can find it on sourceforge.org...
