Question of the Day, May 12, 2010
- Thread starter The Escapist Staff
- Start date
I do wonder why the available options were chosen.
No Aion? No FFXI? No Champions Online? No DAoC? No Warhammer Online? No Age of Conan? No Guild Wars?
OT: I'm certainly no MMO fan, but I do love me some Guild Wars. Bring on the sequel!

I think your definition of MMORPG is being too exclusive. Just because you don't have tons of people running around outside outposts doesn't mean multiplayer isn't a large portion of it. Hell, one of the main thing Guild Wars has going for it is the PvP system. Not having an open world doesn't automatically make something not an MMORPG.Abedeus said:Just because you call Bill a dog, it doesn't make him so.

Not MMO.
Not the 2nd biggest, anything.
Not even developers call it an MMO.
Yep, RO is underrated. I love it, but I'm not addicted to any game. I play RO sometimes (private servers), Aion (Public Test Server - official + all skills working + increased drops and exp = ftw) and Guild Wars. I couldn't get past level 10 in WoW.Captain_Maku said:Why does everyone miss out Ragnarok Online? :l
Seriously; more people play RO than WoW if you include all the private servers.
I can't wait for RO2 to come over to Europe
I also enjoy Diablo 2, Battlefield BC 2 and similar games.
Oh, and RO 2 sucks, I'm talking about the graphics. They are ugly compared to RO.
And I was only considering MMOs you have to pay for(either initially or subscription), not that Runescape free stuff.
Like someone said, it's an online game with a nice-looking lobby system, quest/mission hubs and places of trading (towns and outposts).
Can you see or group with other people outside the towns? Can you see monsters outside of the gates? Can you contact with players who just left a town or outpost in ANY way except for guild/alliance/whisper channels? Can you trade with them outside of towns? Make two separate teams? PvP with them whenever you want?
Not an MMO. Diablo 2 also isn't an MMO.
Yeees it does. It's not MASSIVE Multiplayer game. About 100 people per larger city, 8-12 in PvE (rarely 16), 8-24 people in PvP tops... Not massive, sorry. Neverwinter Nights with 128 max player capacity is more massive than this.oppp7 said:I think your definition of MMORPG is being too exclusive.

It's an ONLINE cooperative RPG. Because it's not massive enough to be an MMO.
I used to be hooked on Guild Wars and I still hop in and out of it occasionally. I'm currently wetting my pants with excitement at the prospect of Guild Wars 2
Other - none, thankfully. That would put an even bigger hole in my wallet. :/
Fallen Earth did look pretty awesome, but tried it and hated the controls. Might try FF14 when it comes out, or that Fallout MMO if it happens.

Meh, the graphics in RO kinda remind me of Fiesta, but overall I can't really say I disagree.Abedeus said:Oh, and RO 2 sucks, I'm talking about the graphics. They are ugly compared to RO.Captain_Maku said:Why does everyone miss out Ragnarok Online? :l

Ofcourse,its a fun game if you liked the books (count me in)wickedpt said:
But its more of PvE
and i liked the PvP from games like WAR or WoW.
Neither, at the moment.
I threw myself back into the sweet embrace of WoW addiction about a week ago, but then they banned my account because Blizzard believes I cheated them out of 15 bucks somehow. Oh well, no big deal.

Sure it is. Few people play it nowadays, compared to the past. They haven't said a word about "another million bought!!", even after 3-4 discounts, like $15 per trilogy. Plus it's been a while since they released content. Meaningful content, not just some quests to make people play old missions and kill bosses again.silasbufu said:
