Probably the only genre in any medium that can be called both Popular and a Niche. We've all heard of them, and most have tried some, but how many people put the same amount of time into Runescape as they did into the latest Nintendo epic? (I have a friend who has ) How many people can be said to actually know what half of the terms used in World of Warcraft actually mean? (I know I don't :S) Is Farmville just an MMO for casuals? (I don't think so )

This is the thread to discuss those games of multiplayer en masse. Share what games you play, you're In-game names, arrange meetings, whatever. Don't play MMOs? Feel free to ask for suggestions. Not sure you want to? Well, you can join in on the discussion anyway! Anyone of any experience is welcome here

(For the sake of simplification, games like MInecraft and Terraria don't count as MMOs as the servers are usually hosted by players. And, no, facebook games don't count either >.>)

Anyway, I've decided to play Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine with some friends, at least until SMT: Devil Survivor: Overclocked comes out. It's pretty fun and free, and feels kinda like a Pokemon Online. However, I would probably give it a 15+ rating for religious (Where do you think the Demons come from >.>) and sexual (Nothing explicit, but there ARE Succubus' and Incubus') references. Not as bad as some of the main series games, though.

As for some more mainstream MMOs, I played Runescape for around 3 years. Got bored of it though, and I haven't played it since I got high-speed. I have a friend who won't stop playing it, though... Wouldn't be surprised if he made it into the top 5000.

And I've tried WoW. Didn't like it

So what games have you all played/Are playing?

My first and only MMO I've ever played is an MMORPG. It's called Spiral Knights. It's a dungeon crawler in which you can play alone or with up to 3 other people.

Here's the trailer for it:

If you (who is reading this) has Steam then you can download it over Steam.

It's free to play and even to get the best stuff and be as good as the other players, you don't need to pay. (I never payed a single cent and have nice equipment and am pretty good )

If anyone needs more info on it then you can just send me a PM or ask in this thread

P.S. It's somewhat similar to Zelda... here's an Kotaku article Behold The Zelda-Riffic Joy Of Spiral Knights

Do you need to be 13 to play? It sounds interesting and It says birth year so I don't know what that will mean.

[Brian6330]

I always put my birth year as over 18 (I'm younger than that)... I don't know the age you need to be to play it, but the age isn't shown anywhere. I'd just put in the wrong one if I was you. Try your real year, or else just put in a wrong one as it doesn't matter

Also I've seen young people play it, so I guess 12 would be enough... I think.

I have about 10+ Runescape accounts, because every time I return to the last one after a long break, I forget where I was up to and start all over again.

World of Warcraft. I felt it was crap because I had to spend so much time just to level up. Not my cup of tea.

Pokemon Crater/Vortex.... hmm....

Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike.

Artix Entertainment games. Nuff Said.

Quake III Arena was fun back in the day.

I remember a long time ago I played WyvernRPG.

And does Zynga Poker count? XD

[Bartman2]

Oh my god! Pokemon Crater was TERRIBLE! There was so much lag because every pixel was take up by some random person!

What MMORPGs do you play or are you looking forward to?

I personally am looking forward to Guild Wars 2, I'm not generally big on MMOs and haven't ever really played one consistently, however I'm thinking about getting this one.
I really like the fact that it's a once off purchase with no monthly payments and that it is different form every other MMO.

[Brian6330]

Used to play Spiral Knights.

Something that they don't tell you. The orginal Guild Wars had 15 $30 expansions. What's to stop them from doing the same?
OT: I've played some of Adveture Quest Worlds when I was younger, does that count?

[Wertville]

I'm playing Shin Megami Tensei: Image, though I'm breaking to beat SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked. Best part about Imagine is that all the cash shop items are tradable, and that the combat system isn't the same dull half-turn based one every other one uses. Then there's the SMT theme of contracting and fighting with Demons. Closest thing you'll get to a Pokemon MMO in a long time.

^{_{Didn't we have a thread like this already, about MMO games?}}

I should know; I made it :S
...Not that that won't stop me from advertising SMT:I

[Xiombarg]

I play Spiral Knights...
I used to play Runescape years ago.

Eh... I'll forget about all my games when Skyrim comes out.

[Auzzie Wingman]

Heroes of Ruin

[HaHa-No]

I played Runescape a while back. I had a go with Spiral Knights but hated it's controls. Me and MMO's don't really compute.

[Elric]

Im thinking of playing both spiral knights and also dungeons and dragons.

[Wertville]

Isn't Dungeons and Dragons a Tabletop RPG?
You know... The REALLY old kind?

[Brian6330]

I'd have a account to lend you for it if you want... (Stopped playing it -.- It has good amount of stuff and you can make a new character.)

[GeneralCraezy]

I've got a question for anyone whos played final fantasy XI or XIV. Do you actually have to pay every month?? <-- THAT question has stopped me getting the game(s) so far.

(WOAH!! dejavu!! thats wierd... its like Ive dejavued (lol) like 4 times in the same dejavu.... okay, that made no sense at all, but... anyway back on topic )

[Auzzie Wingman]

I don't know about XI, but I think you have to do something of a regular payment for XIV. However, I've been hearing nothing but crap about XIV, so I don't suggest it.

[Wertville]

iirc, XIV became Free to Play. And everyone hates modern Final Fantasy, it's the trendy thing to do >.>

yeah, I heard it was crap aswell, but I still wanna try it

So I'm guessing so did XI?
XII-XIV have amazing graphics though
