I've played a lot of MMOs, but the only one that ever really did it for me was City of Villains.

Has anyone tried Tabula Rasa? I read that the fighting system is very similar to Neocron, which I was very fond of.

That mech game looks interesting (because it's giant robots fighting fighting fighting) but seriously, fuck MMORPGs. Grind grind grind grind grind grind grind GRIND that'll be £10 please oh wait you seem to have nailed the keyboard to your dick. They are treadmills that make you fatter.

Yeah, grinding is just the result of lazy lazy lazy design.

Indeed. I can kind of understand why it's so prevalent - writing enough original content for an MMO to keep everyone happy all of the time is not a task I would wish upon anyone, although such as The Matrix Online and City of Heroes/Villains have had noble stabs at it - but it's a critical flaw in the concept for me. PlanetSide worked because the concept of grinding doesn't apply as much; yeah, you can get better kit with more XP and so on, but your basic trooper can still do a lot of damage if the player's sufficiently skilled, and you can still enjoy it as a twitchy shooter if you so desire. Of course, if I wanted to play a fun, twitchy, class-based shooter against the baying hordes of paint-eating mouth-breathers that make up the internet's opponent pool, I'd probably go with TF2, which I at least don't have to rent off the publishers after I've paid for it once already.

How anyone can stomach the concept of paying for EVE Online is beyond me. That game is about Watching Boring Space Hoovers Suck Imaginary Money Out Of Imaginary Rocks. There are people who actually make a living off of playing it, which I can understand - I've got a massively tedious job, too - but playing it for fun seems kind of like Recreational Tax Return Filing.

I downloaded the trial version of Star Wars Galaxies which is...meh. I remember trying it out a couple years ago and it was alright. A lot of these MMO's seem incredibly laggy and buggy...even after being out on the market for years. I've really come to the conclusion that most MMO's are crap. ???

If you want an online game where you can talk to your friends and with no grinding, what about Blockland?
It's not really an MMO, but you build things with lego-like blocks, play deathmatches and other games, and generally socialise with people.

I probably shouldn't be talking about online games at all. I can barely even stand to play deathmatch games against people I can't see. The Internet Is Full Of Twats.

I was way into that game for a while, but then they changed the interface and whatnot, and I didn't want to bother relearning stuff.  Yeah, I'm lazy like that.

Does anyone know of any console MMO's that look decent? I haven't been able to find any that appear to have potential. It's about time they made one though. :-\

Monster Hunter :D

My current fave "I'm bored, let's go kill some dragons". Ridiculous amount of stuff to do from cooking, alchemy and various weapon classes and trees to explore.  It's very Phantasy Star Online (Groups of 4 only plz) except instead of grinding through dungeons you're travelling across the land, setting up traps, hunting beasts and slaying ridiculously overpowered Dragons.  VERY dependent on Skill instead of numbers/gear (Which you can't buy either.  All gear is crafted from kills)

Not really an MMO though, but still...

Lineage II! I used to "waste" hours, no... Days, playing this title!  :D It's really addictive, esspecially if you find a nice community. I played on the original server for awhile (wich was fun, but you have to pay for the game and the rates are to low and the game slowly begin to bore you to death) and on the private servers (which was mostly not the fun to play - abusive players and pk's suck but it was free and I cuold play with friends, so somewhat it remined the gamplay style from original server). I would recomend this game (wonderful graphics and design), but the following chronicles (even if they include something new to the game), do nothing in overall and it's annoying to see the game creators had really lost the real interest in the game somewhere on the halfway through...

I actually recommend one i just found called Rumble Fighter! I just started but it's very fun if you enjoy Smash Bros. type games. You create a character and then when you login you can join channels to fight up to 8 players at once, team battle or Free-for-all. You fight for three rounds and ranking is based on how well you do in those three. At then end you gain experience points and money depending on your overall ranking. Here is the main site.
