What?? Another expansion?? Pfff... Let me guess, new level limit up to lvl 90?? overpowered enemies and all that shit? No way man.

WoW was * barely * fun when it only was the main game and the first expansion, until they released "Wrath of the licht king". Anyway, I wasted too much money on a boring game like this one. I don't have any patience for this kind of games. I only reached to lvl 14 with a mague, and then gave up with it. Well, I wasted like 70€.

Forcing myself to play ffxiv in the hopes it might be shit, but not complete shit once Squeenix starts fixing things.

Right now, I'm playing Vindictus with hotglue and friends. It's pretty cool.

Other than that, I play Maplestory. I don't play it now of course, but I keep up with events and everything. When Big bang comes out, I'll go back to playing regularly.

>>6286922

Nothing, right now. I think the shitfest that is FFXIV killed my desire to play MMOs permanently. I cancelled my account a week after buying it.

MMOs kinda suck now. I used to play Guild Wars, but the game fell into a state of neglect, and the community went full retard.Played WoW, still like it, but I don't like paying for it. I didn't like the grinding too much, it took me two years to get a priest to 80 (Not constant play, mind you. Would buy a month, then not play for a while). Now I just play steam games.

Jesus christ, 85k HP? I stopped playing after Ahn'Qiraj so I find that scary.

Waiting for Guild Wars 2

Stopped WoW a year ago. Waiting for FFIV on PS3 to play a mmo again.

>MMOs
Reported for normalfaggotry.

Also, on a side note, don't start playing Guld Wars now. The company that owns it coming out with a Guild Wars 2, and completely dumping Guild Wars 1. Making everyone start over and shit. I quit as soon and I heard.

>>6286952
>FFIV

Woops, forgot my X.

>>6286956
I'm going to start playing it again for those item rewards that you can get for GW2

>>6286949
I liked GW at the beggining. Then, they included that stupid new classes like the fucking overpowered Dervish. I used to win most of the PVP matches I did until they appeared.

I play WoW, Pangya, Cosmic Break, FFXIV, Mabinogi, & Aika. I used to play LotR and CoH. I also plan on playing Vindictus, DCU Online and The Old Republic at launch.

Gonna try Vindictus again in a few minutes since the beta started again.

>>6286883

What the hell man?

>>6286962
Hope you don't have a Monk with good shit in the HoM, because monks aren't going to be in GW2. Pissed me off so bad, because I play my monk the most. Arenanet is just full of faggots, I don't want anything to do with GW2. Worked on my account for like, three years, only to have the game shut down. Feels bad, Man.

Also, knowing Anet, the "rewards" are going to suck ass wrinkles.

I want to make a new WoW account.
I don't want to need to beat that addiction again.

>>6286970
Filtered.

>>6286936
From what I heard, they want PvP fights to last more than 3 seconds. Apparently WotLK was just a nuke fest, much like in vanilla. I welcome the change, though I hope to never actually play the game again.

>ctrl-f
>RuneScape

And here comes the hate towards me, 'scaper since 2003 here.

>>6286986
Runescape? It's full of kids, and I hate kids.

I was around from Lucifron to Illidan. Hated the expansion and realized it wasn't going to get any better.

There's a board for this shit. Take it there:
>>/v/

>>6286986
I remember Runescape.
A good game held back by down right horrible leveling and combat systems. How tragic.

I don't really play MMOs.

>>6287086
Who gives a shit.

I once named my Need for Speed Most Wanted character "Meiling" so that when I was behind a computer-controlled opponent called Hong the leaderboard would say "Hong Meiling" :3

>>6287116
Clever!

I want to get into MMOs again, but after WoW turning into shit, and Star Trek Online being terrible, FFXIV being a huge let down, I don't know what to believe anymore.

I'm just waiting for Diablo 3 right now to get my online grinding dose, hopefully it will succeed.

>>6287133
>WoW turned to shit.
I have news for you...

>>6287133
Diablo 3 isn't an MMO though.
Also, The Old Republic is going to be a massive failure.

>>6286922
Why is every post you make so incredibly cancerous?

vindictus but I've decided to put that aside until they release the mage

>>6287152
That it's always been shitty? No, back in vanilla it was a great game, 40 man raid instances, world PvP, equip actually required some work to get.

>>6287159
He's just contributing to the discussion >.>

WoW was fun for me until guilds and their e-penis competitions ruined it for me. It felt more of a chore than a way to relax after a day's work.

But I guess I am alone in this.

>>6287159
>OMG cancer XD

Go back to /b/.

>>6287152
Blizzard fanboy much? Wow is shit.

>>6287156
I know, but it's close enough to one in the sense that you keep and grind your character.

>>6287167

I believe the poster was trying to say Blizzard has always been shit.

I don't know what's worse: A wow thread in here or the touhou faggotry in your post, OP.

Played EQ, still play WoW when I got time. I'd love to reminisce and give a massive rose-tinted-goggle monologue about the true magic of ancient EQ, but I won't.

More recently tried Navy Field. Realised I'd need to get lvl70+ before getting first battleship. Still gave it a try. Gave up after taking way more time than I have to spare to get lvl25 over three weeks.

Popped in Battlestations: Pacific. Got battleship after 3 hours.
I have no regrets for being a quitter.

Just checked Dynasty Warriors Online. Feels like a 3D beat 'em up with an awkwardly attached MMO aspect.
Trying to find what's going to be the endgame content. Those 12vs12 battles?

faggots
there is no mmo that is better than ultima online
except for daoc when uo went trammel

Played WoW on a private server, nobody to be seen and it was full of bugs. Played until level 15 and dropped it. Played Hellgate:London offline until about level 5 and got bored of it. Played D&D:Online a few times (soloed 80% of the time) but when I hit level 5 I get bored of looking for quests that I don't have to pay for. I don't want to pay for this kind of shit and anyway I play alone so it's not really my kind of game, right?

They fucked up WoW so bad.
Fuck retail, I'm going to play on Pre-BC private servers.

I play mabinogi, might switch to DCUO when it goes up if it wont be utter shit...

Who am i kidding it definitely will be.

>>6287162
>equip actually required some work to get.

I also played vanilla wow.

Getting gear very often required lots of grinding. And grinding was a nightmare as a holy priest.

So shut up.

On a side note, what does /jp/ think of Runes of Magic?

Flyff and Imagine, duh. Why would I play [spoilers]World of Warcraft[/spoilers] anything else? <3

And then we have the issue of money. Money was hard to get too.

Actually redownloading Scions of Fate right now.
Seeing as they got a new class that I'd like to try out.
Plus there's also the nostalgia factor to it as well.

>>6287664

I play on blackrock server horde/alliance. I am kinda excited about it, but it depends if they allow me to do digital download and have it preinstalled before the release. I don't want to go to another midnight release to pick up my copy like for the past expansions. Haven't played in a couple weeks about to relog in a couple minutes probably.

MegaTen, Perfect world international.

play FlyFF occasionally when there are absolutely no other MMOs to play. Still unable to make Psykeeper ;__;

Eve Online would genuinely be the most hilariously fun game to play together with /jp/. Daily fullretard low-sec gank squads, crafting, and all the silly hijinks we get into with our hivemind powers and DEVASTATING ORGANIZATION, setting up a corp would be incredible fun.

Too bad it will never, ever, ever happen.

Man Vindictus seems fun but it takes forever to kill these bosses.

The worm one in the ice cave took me like 30 minutes. Maybe my character just sucks or something.

I don't play MMOs because they are for normals. I'm also really exciting for the WoW expansion because I hope it takes normals away from /jp/ for a while.

>>6288639
Would be fun, I'd resub if everyone else joined in as well.

As for me, I tried CoH again a week ago. Still the same ol' grindan that it used to be. Except with less people if you're not a Praetorian.

>>6288647
>I don't play MMOs because they are for normals.

You keep thinking that, kid. They weren't for normals when they first started springing up, they weren't for normals as they caught on in popularity, and the only reason fucking kids like you think they're for normals is because of fucking WoW.

Hell, most normals don't even realize that WoW is a fucking MMORPG, nor do they know what that means.

>>6288639
I'd like this. Never played that game, but Im sure that it would be fun.

>>6288657
then how come all the underage on /jp/ play them?

>>6288663

Pretty sure you just proved my point right there.

>>6288657
They are for normals. From the start, they were bound to be for normals, as they're about social interaction.

>>6288670
The internet is for normals, From the start, it was bound to be for normals, as it's about social interaction.

Pangya, Flyff when I have nothing else to do. Cousin said Gunbound had new classes and shit so I'm trying it out.

>>6287714
Really? I want to replay it now. What server will you be on?

>>6288677
It depends on the level of social interaction. When you play an MMO, and work together with normals to achieve a common goal, perhaps even befriending those normals for another future goal, perhaps even achieving your goals through a voice chat with those normals, something is very wrong.

I'm still playing FFXIV. I'm giving it the 3 month check to see if it will stay the same(which is bleh right now) or has the potential to get better.

>>6288670
In a way that is true.
But it's like real world social encounters, but bit easier. I don't want to make stupid normal friends in the two mmo's that I play. And in the other one I'm alone because I haven't met any good people. Forming a guild/faction/whatever with people from /jp/ would surely be fun even to you.

>>6288688
/jp/'s userbase is more tolerable than it seems because of the nature of imageboards, and the nature of /jp/ itself. In any other environment it just becomes a circlejerk.

>>6288670
>>6288681

The particular social interaction involved is not exactly normal. The significant thing about MMOs, though, is that their interaction does not preclude normals from participating as normals do. They were not destined for normals, indeed that was the surprise. The bigger surprise is that normals have adapted normal social interaction that fits with the non-normal MMO interaction (perhaps the most significant example of which is WoW). I know a guy who hangs out with his friends in the same room to play WoW. They're normals, but they've adapted their social interaction to include WoW.

There's a lot that can actually be discussed about the significance of MMOs, and about the interesting parts of MMOs, but don't be a fucking idiot.

>>6288647
Who are you callinga normal bastard? I'm a true NEET, you don't have shit on me. How dare you insult me and call me a normal. Playing WOW doesn't make you a normalfag. Come and talk to me about being a NEET when you haven't left your house in a year, you are a small time wannabe NEET who is just a normalfag yourself.

>>6288723

It's normal enough for me to classify as normal.

Likewise, L4D is for normals. Call me when your game has a proper single player mode.

>It's normal enough for me to classify as normal.

What's clear is that you don't understand a fucking thing, so you use some shitty fallback excuse like this.

>Likewise, L4D is for normals. Call me when your game has a proper single player mode.

L4D isn't an MMO, but it certainly was for normals. It's also a shitty game, but that's beside the point.

What's your point again? Well, other than showing just how much of an idiot you are, that is. I suppose that really is the only reason you bother posting.

>>6286926
This times 100. The Big Bang patch will make Maple much MUCH less shitty. Believe me, I tried it on the Korean server.

It makes me laugh how you act like normals are a scar on the earth. They're paying for you to eat.

I'm on FFXIV helping a friend do leves.

Can't wait till my free month runs out.

>>6288766
Are you mad? My point is the level of social interaction in an MMO is not acceptable. I don't see how you can say L4D is a game for normals while MMOs are not, the behavior in L4D would mimic the party behavior in an MMO. A clan or guild just amplifies that.

>>6288745
>implying I'm actually not a true NEET.

No. I actually am a true NEET faggot. I'm not a faggot normal wannabe NEET on a 2 week summer break. Any faggot calling people who play MMOs a normal is a wannabe NEET.

>>6288781
>Are you mad?

Reported.

>My point is the level of social interaction in an MMO is not acceptable.

Heavy social interaction isn't mandatory. Your "point" just further shows your idiocy.

>I don't see how you can say L4D is a game for normals while MMOs are not, the behavior in L4D would mimic the party behavior in an MMO. A clan or guild just amplifies that.

You don't have to join a clan or guild or even a party in most if not all MMOs. L4D gameplay demands group participation if you play it online. You yet again demonstrate your utter ignorance.

>>6288781
Don't think you know what a hikikomori or a true NEET is, let alone a regular NEET. None of these main you can't interact with people over the internet, the only people implying you can't interact with people in videos are fake /jp/psie/NEET normalfaggots like you. I bet you are in school or have a job, but are an autistic child who can't socialize with anyone. Not being able to do something =/= Not wanting to do something nigger.

>>6288796
Don't accuse me of being ignorant of MMOs, the first MMO I played is older than the first one you did, I bet.

>Heavy social interaction isn't mandatory. Your "point" just further shows your idiocy.
You rage and call me an idiot again and again, but you're the one who fails to see my point. My point is that there is heavy social interaction. It is mandatory to abstain from that level of social interaction, unless you're a normal or something.

>You don't have to join a clan or guild or even a party in most if not all MMOs.
Then don't play an MMO at all. There is no need to run around in world tainted by normals, I don't see why you can't play a single player RPG if this is what you're doing. I assume you do actually form parties and join clans yourself however, so this possibility is just a cover irrelevant to your own normalcy.

>>6287766

Haha, no. I fucking love my job. The people are great, the work is interesting and I get $25/hour for it, which is pretty good, considering I'm only 18 and have had no other real work experience. Just bought a new car as well.

Life is great, enjoy your mooching off society.

>>6288844
Enjoy your worship of society, you are the essence of normalfaggotry.

nerd thread

someone get friendcircle and hotglue in here for an ultimate faggotry showdown

There main three big contenders coming up for 2011 are as follows: TERA, Rift: Planes of Telara, and Guild Wars 2.

TERA is by far the most promising, but has released the least information overall. The Korean version is due to hit the shelves this year, or at least open beta will be held. Rift is also shaping up to be a very interesting game. TERA's combat is based on a non-targeting system, so players have to aim spells, and to dodge attacks, they need to literally move out of the way. It also implements collision detection, to a point where if you're shooting at a monster but an ally is blocking the way, that spell will hit your ally and fizzle. You can literally hide behind a tank for cover (and are encouraged to do so, as tanks block 90% of incoming damage if they use their shield block skill) in pvp and pve. The only downfall the game has, is that the game has 8 classes, and each class is locked down to using one type of weapon. I was allowed access to the second wave of focus group tests, and from what I experienced, the game is incredibly player skill based. There's a very large difference between a player who attacks/dodges at the right time and someone who facerolls.

>>6288821
>Don't accuse me of being ignorant of MMOs, the first MMO I played is older than the first one you did, I bet.

Oh, so an appeal to authority, eh? Well as long as you're measuring hikki-sticks for a fallacy (yes I went there and yes I know that joke is bad but fuck I'm making it anyway), I've been playing MMOs since before they were called MMOs. You ever type your way through a MUD? No? That's what I thought, kid.

>rage

Reported.

>My point is that there is heavy social interaction.

Again, you're wrong. There is optional light social interaction. It would only be heavy if you actually did game-related things with the other people IRL.

>It is mandatory to abstain from that level of social interaction, unless you're a normal or something.

See >>6288813

>There is no need to run around in world tainted by normals

Again, you're functioning off of your ignorant and faulty assumption that it is populated by mostly normals, and that it is made primarily for normals, and that just shows how much of a dumb motherfucker you are.

>I assume you do actually form parties and join clans yourself however, so this possibility is just a cover irrelevant to your own normalcy.

If I join a clan/guild, it's because I want to progress with the in-game content, not because I want to progress with socialization. The only reason I would join a clan/guild for the people is if it was a PvP guild and they were funny/skilled/chill PvPers. Again, it's done for the game content.

But that's just me. As before, see >>6288813

The fact is that you're an ignorant fucking kid, and a normal. Beat it.

>>6288859

Rift on the other hand has a total of 16 classes scheduled for release. The 4 main classes are the archetypal MMO classes Warrior, Cleric, Mage, Rogue, but each of those has 4 specific classes to choose from, and your rift character can mix and match between 3 subclasses in the same tree. So for example if I go mage, I can pick between the Warlock, Pyromancer, and Elementalist. I can use skills from all 3 trees at the same time, or I can specialize in one, or do a hybrid in-between. The possibilities are endless. It also has rifts (durr) which are portals to other worlds that constantly connect to the main game world. Players are told to fight off anything that comes out of that rift, and eventually enter it to destroy the baddies inside. If that's not done and monsters flow out, the complete area where the rift was spawned changes drastically, and unless you fight back the rift spawn, it stays that way. If two rifts spawn next to each other, they fight against each other. I played the game demo at the convention, and it has a lot of potential.

>>6288859

TERA does look like fun from your description. The class/weapon lockdown doesn't bother me much at all, and in many ways makes sense. If that's the only downfall, I think it'll be awesome.

>>6288821
>Don't accuse me of being ignorant of MMOs, the first MMO I played is older than the first one you did, I bet.

The fact that you're talking about your first MMORPG and not using the term MUD proves that you're a newfag to the genre.

Problem /jp/?

>>6288882
That guy is a newfag and a normalfag pretending like he is apart of /jp/ he probably just came to /jp/ straight from /b/.

>>6288864
so fucking true

Argue that MMOs are for normals, get called a normal. This thread is in denial.

I'm pretty sure /jp/ loved Allods Online.

Your control scheme hurts my head, OP.

>>6288862
>I've been playing MMOs since before they were called MMOs.
MUDs are not MMOs, but so have I. Of course, I don't do either anymore because I only did so when I was still a normal.

>If I join a clan/guild, it's because I want to progress with the in-game content, not because I want to progress with socialization. The only reason I would join a clan/guild for the people is if it was a PvP guild and they were funny/skilled/chill PvPers. Again, it's done for the game content.
When normals socialize in real life, they are doing so for their own progress. They are still normals. Going out and being a normal because it gets you a high paying job is not an excuse to say you're not a normal.

>>6288813
>You called me a normal with the evidence of MMORPGs, I will now call you a normal without evidence
I am a true NEET, I do not work, nor am I in education or training, nor will I play a normals, like an MMO or an RPG.

>>6288989
>I am a true NEET, I do not work, nor am I in education or training, nor will I play a normals, like an MMO or an RPG.
Like an MMO or L4D that is.

>>6288989
>MUDs are not MMOs

Oh really? What's the difference, then?

>>6289001
UO, the game I was referring to, was the first MMO and when the use of the term started. Obviously, the difference is that the world is rendered. The literal "MMORPG" does not describe that difference, but when someone says normalfag they don't mean standard homosexual, either. The two are still for normals because of the social interaction aspect. Although your pure normal would see someone who played those things as abnormal, they're both in the same category to me.

>>6288989
>MUDs are not MMOs, but so have I.

No, you haven't. You're only saying this because you're getting called out and you just want to save face.

>Of course, I don't do either anymore because I only did so when I was still a normal.

You really think that MUDs were EVER for normals? If you aren't a troll I'll eat my fucking hat. Raw.

Reported. Fuck off, you idiot, and go back to /b/.

>>6289019
Can you do anything except impose assumptions on me, like that I am lying, a troll, or that I am from /b/, or that I actually have a job and a social life and I'm just fantasizing about being a true neet? You do play MMOs, you are a normal, I actually do have backing from that unlike these wild mass accusations of yours. Someone who plays a MUD definitely is a nerd as a normal would put it, but since there's social interaction there, since MMOs and MUDs revolve around social interaction in the first place, they are for normals. I also consider sitting around playing DnD an activity for normals, as do I considering "hanging out" with other perceived abnormals an activity for normals nonetheless.

>>6289025

Then get out of here, normal. This board requires social interaction, therefore it's for normals. You are a normal. Go back to /b/, you idiot.

>>6289033
This level of social interaction can't be helped. I only really do it because I feel like without conversation, my intelligence will suffer. Don't tell me to go back to /b/. I bet you masturbate to real women.

>>6289025

MMOs aren't exclusive to normalfags, dipshit. Quit throwing around your retarded adolescent generalizations.

Now take a chill pill, I can feel your pimples pulse from over here.

>>6288989

MMOs aren't exclusive to normalfags, dipshit. Quit throwing around your retarded adolescent generalizations.

>>6289035

Get out of here, normal. Aren't you a NEET? This board requires social interaction, therefore it's for normals. You're a normal for participating in this board, so you can't post or read here just as you can't play an MMO, otherwise you're a normal, normal.

Eat your contradiction, you mindless kid, and get out of here.

>>6289046
If you'll look back, you'll see that the reason I found MMOs to be for normals is because of the level of social interaction. I find this level to be more acceptable. I'm not working with anyone for a common goal, more often than not I'm just getting into arguments people because they turn sour when they get called out on not being true NEETs. As I said, the social interaction I take part in is only on this level, and I only do it because without it my intelligence would probably degrade. I couldn't forgive myself if I was too stupid to argue with a normal, for instance.

>>6289062
>I find this level to be more acceptable.

You're using a completely arbitrary distinction. As I've pointed out, you don't even need to participate at all with any other players in MMOs. In fact, that means that MMOs require less participation than this board. Eat your contradiction, you idiot.

>without it my intelligence would probably degrade

I wouldn't worry about that, you fucking moron. Rock-bottom is hard to degrade.

>I couldn't forgive myself if I was too stupid to argue with a normal, for instance.

Then be prepared for the unforgivable, because according to you you already are doing exactly that.

I swear, if you're not just a troll (and I'll bet you are) you must be missing most of your brain. Even if you are a troll, you're a fucking moron.
