I remember in High School everyone gave me shit for playing MMORPGs. The arguement I heard most was that it was silly to pay a monthly fee for a game. At long last I can say back to those people, "Face!"

Guild Wars doesn't have monthly fees either

Also, isn't Anarchy Online supposed to suck?

[thenomad]

They suckified it recently but if you ignore all the silly expansions it's still superfly. The free account doesn't include expansions anyway. I consider it the best MMO on the market today in terms of complexity, difficulty, content, community, and overall fun factor. I can name a couple that beat it on the graphics front but beyond that there's little comparison.

That's cool, I'm not really an MMO person :/ I think one game will satisfy my urge to kill things by clicking on them

[thenomad]

MMOs aren't about the difficulty of killing things. They're about the difficulty of killing things more powerful than you. In AO a fight is won by the way you allocate your skills and equip your character, not by the way you click them and hit "A"

You're thinking of Everquest/World of Warcraft/Star Wars Galaxies/Matrix Online.

Uhh I haven't played any of those, and I'm playing an extremely strategy based game right now as the most challenging and strategy intensive class.

I wasn't being serious.

[thenomad]

What game is that?

[worded]

Guild Wars, although it may actually be a bad example of an MMORPG because I'm realizing how geared it is toward player versus player competition

Well with a name like 'Guild Wars'...
