Massively Many Of-them

In my Spanish 2 class today, I had an interesting conversation with some total strangers. MMO's were the subject and Finding a good one was what we talked about. Here are some games we spoke of and why we like/dislike them:

  1. World Of Warcraft - Pure fun, Use all your moves, and do funny things with your friends. The bad thing is, its a monthly fee.
  2. Guild Wars - A game that took up my whole 2005 summer. A game that now (annoyingly) takes up all of my friends' time. It requires a lot of strategy with the level cap at 20! You can only have 8 skills out at once too. It offers no extra fun stuff like Houses, raids, or flying. The members are pretty cruel and you wont go more than 2 minutes without hearing someone called a n00b. But it doesn't require a subscription, just pay the $50. But then again, there are already expansions, each costing $50 themselves. In my view, its a hole in the pocket for much less fun than other games supply you.
  3. Maplestory - Totally free. You can choose to pay for special items and stuff, but you don't really have to at all. It us 2D which may be a turn-off for some and the opposite for others. It looks very Manga Chibi-ish and the members are nice and helpful! I like this game and do play ti sometimes but the downside is that there isn't much to do really and its a little hard to get started...
  4. Runscape - Free but Crap...
  5. Dungeons and Dragons Online - pretty cool but lacks some customization. It requires you to pay monthly. graphics are amazing.
  6. City of Heroes - Everyone likes this game (you can fly!) except for people who are convincing others to buy Guild Wars (MATT!). I would love to make my own super hero (and now I can be a villian too). but you have to pay monthly.
So if you are looking for the ultimate MMO, THERE ISNT ONE. All of the games have pros and cons, but its your decision which one offers more fun.
