See... now imagine that you could do that, and have a purpose at the same time. You can kill things on your way to go finish one of the seemingly limitless number of quests, get the item drops, and get a nice quest reward and bonus EXP on top of that. It's also possible that I'm a bit touchy about having to grind, ever since leaving FFXI. Grinding is ALL YOU EVER DID in that game. If you weren't grinding, you were farming to get money for supplies and equipment so you could go grind some more. The quests were a joke, with the player as the butt. |

*Stabs Knight through the right nostril with an aarvark* I can attack people with random animals if I want..... Anyway, OT. I have the same problems with MMORPGS as FZ.... But WoW is sorely tempting me. |

That first line seems to have just described the Instant Mission system for AO. And I don't find that all I do in AO is grind. If I would prefer doing Tradeskill stuff, I could easily stay at home and make a living building and selling things, from waht I've seen going on. But I like to bash some heads and get the cool loot from the monsters, so that is what I do. The hunt for that one rare MA skill, the rare drop armor, or the last piece I need to make some gadget I've been working on. It doesn't seem dull or tedious to me. I don't know, you seem to be insinutating that there is a better game out there, but from what I've seen, I don't see what else I could need. I have fun, kill some monsters, hang out in a cool Sci-Fi world, and do it all for free. I relaly can't think of anything else I could want. Besides, if I got WoW, I want to be an Orc, but they have it set up so "OMGZ ALLIANCE AN HORDE NO WORK TOGETER!" If I want to be an Orc, I better like the company of Tauren, Undead, and Trolls, because I won't be seeing a human for a long time unless I'm killing them. They even have a friggin language barrier set up so the sides can't communicate, which is quite frankly overboard. |

We've got a great guild, and an open invite to anyone from the board to join... But I guess I can understand the lack-of-job problem, FZ... still, it's really not that much money. |

I just don't see the benafit of paying for WoW when I can get and enjoy the same thing for free. In a year if by some miracle my short attention span still has me playing AO, and Funcom decides to end the Free Play thing, then I might put some thought into whether I would prefer to pay to play AO, WoW, or neither. But I have yet to see a compelling argument that would make me want to pay to play a game at all, and I'm mostly enjoying AO probably because it's free. |

I can understand that. My primary argument really revolves around "Come play with friends", not necessarily "Come play a better game". |

Personally I think it would be a blast to join up with you all to play it, but there aren't enough features about the game that want to lure me into paying to play it, and even if I wanted to affording it would be a pain in the ass. Hell, I could make the same argument to you guys to come play AO, and we would all be playing together. And my game is free to get and play. ![]() Honestly I would if I could, but even if I did get WoW, you all are Alliance, I don't plan to be, and there is no way to work togehter, so even that argument falls apart. Even in AO the Clans and Omni-Tek can work together if they choose to. I was just with a mixed group earlier today of Clan and Omni that plowed pretty deep into a dungeon. But WoW makes it pretty much impossible for a similar scenario to happen since they force everyone to play by their rules on how the conflict should work. |

Nooooooooooooo shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Never again shall I stay in one area, many times alone, and grind my life away! Never again shall I have to suffer a broken economy and one f&cked up money system that can't even clothe yourself! And you bet your sweet bippy I am NOT going to take a "you may or may not make this item with the sometimes MILLIONS of gil you put into materials only to have your godamn crystal BLOW UP because it WASN'T THE RIGHT TIME OF DAY!!!!!!!!!" *gasp, wheeze* Sorry... FFXI, compared to my fun in WoW, just.. Grrrr.... Though I'd like to give AO a try, just for the setting. Fantasy is all well and good, but sci fi would be something to look into too. |

GJ, I don't think sitting around and making fun of people all day counts as a race... Although it does sound tempting now... ... ... Oh, wait, Trolls are a race, I forgot... EDIT: That... Sounds really fucked up, JJ.... |

Trolls are funny. I got to flirt with a troll priestess the other night, was good time had by all. And yes FZ. Yes it is. Much anger there... |

Not exclusively Alliance. Since you can have up to eight characters ON EACH SERVER, I've got a Tauren hunter, a Troll warrior, and an Orcish shaman. ... I just realized that I have more Horde characters than I have Alliance. Only a druid and a rogue on that side... |

...Not playing your priestess on Feathermoon anymore Knight? Ah well, that's alright, I deleted Alindar.. And the Forsaken are a fun race. Their /flirt can be just the kind of sick thing that would make GJ giggle. |

Why do you have so many characters? I prefer to get one and stick with him... Easier to manage that way. |

WoW penalises you for staying with one character for extended periods of time... |

I thought you were just penalized if you played your character continuously without rest. |

I generally do, FZ. I have those other characters because I was trying out other jobs to see which I wanted to play. Mostly I'm playing my Druid (level 29), but I rather enjoy playing my hunter (level 17) as well. And I still have my feathermoon character, Jon, but I've mostly been trying to keep from getting left in the dust by YOU, remember? ![]() Edit: NO NO NO! Bah, give me a moment to explain. That's not how it works at all. |
