I am waiting for WoW, and maybe Horizons, and I'm done with DAoC
Though not much beat the early days of EQ.

Saying that, I'm still considering going back to AO, because yes, you're right, AO is one of the best MMORPGs out there and the new expansion got really good reviews. I'd prefer first hand information from one of my fellow ECers though. =/ [ 10-12-2003: Message edited by: Tarquinn ]
Looks like a good game. Though I'm waiting for FF XI right now which comes out the 28th of this month for the PC.

Bad first impression. The game is excellent...but it had a terrible launch. It's not that everybody quit, it's that hardly anybody has played at all.
I'd so be playing AO if I weren't poor. I can't afford any MMORPGs, though. [ 10-12-2003: Message edited by: Suddar ]

Ohhh... I got the wrong impression. Sorry.

Bad first few months. The first few months were horrible, giving it a bad reputation. Its a lot better now but most people won't touch the game because of that reputation.

I quit EQ, DAoC and SW:G too.
But AO is the only one I'm considering to play again.

Goddammit, that sucked. I was stuck on that fucking island at the shrine for almost a week before my buddy came and rescued me with his boat. Though when we went back with some more powerful people, we managed to get back down to level 4 from the entrance before we got ganked by one of those nasty named demons.

UO was, indeed, great fun. For about a week, until the griefers took over.

What for?
EverQuest still kicks ass, regardless what the nay sayers think. That is my extremely in depth argument.

Aside from that, ya EQ's still the 800lbs gorilla of MMOG's and has evolved into something that can be a real blast.
Anyone think Horizons will be decent?

Cysa Da Devil attempted to be funny by writing:

Yes, and Trade Skills kick ass. I'm in the Beta, thats about all I can say. I also haven't played for about 3 weeks, so it may have changed.

From what I've played, sucks. Nothing new to genre + no high end content + crappy graphics + buggy = the suck.

Bloodsage obviously shouldn't have said:

Between the New expansion and just the normal updates, great deal has changed. My cruddy 'puter still chokes every once and a while, but I have a 450 Mhz machine and a 56k connection so it's expected. Classes seem more defined, Tradeskills now have very good uses. Static dungeons with nice loots in it, more named mobs roaming Rubi-Ka, and the addtions of Dyna-Camps which are basically a small boss encounter.
As for the expansion it self, Well they really break away from the Sci-Fi aspect, however the new lands are a very nice change. The new calsses are spiffy, I really took a likening to the keeper class, kinda like the DAoC Paladin. The perk system is good, Adds permanent buffs and usally rounds out your class abilities, Example: Keepers have a perkline that gives them a always on HoT, with stacks with their Nano Recharge/HoT line, soloing it mean less down time, grouped mean you can run your Nano Recharge and still have a HoT running. Shadow lands also pops in a mess load of New loot, like symbiot that are like implants, but instead of boasting only 1-3 stats, it boast a whole mess, not as much as a implant could, but synbiot boost stats an implants can't.
If yuor interested, try the Shadowlands free trial for 7 days Via the website download,
Things are pretty nice now (as long as you weren't planning on playing a PK, but even then, they have faction battles to allow for PvP battles in a more controlled fashion.)
