A COMPLETE set of bronze armour? Boy, you gettin above yourself...
Let me tell you 'bout when I was a lad...an dem Grues were blowin out lights left, right 'n center...
Nothing, eq doesn't do it for me anymore, at this point I'm just cycling through my characters trying to see if I want to play one. After logging on a character for a minutes I go, "Ehh" and log off. Tried some other games, my old wow account and others but nothing interest me. Canceled all my accounts, I'll just do something else, but on the bright side I'll save some money since every MMO now wants more and more money. So I think I'll take the money I save and save up for a new comp for Pantheon, two new monitors and a nice T.V. up top, a new desk. I figure by the time it's ready I'll have enough saved up to put a down payment on a car so a comp, monitors, T.V. and a desk will be easy.
I'm kinda at that point where I wanna make a Pantheon meme of instead of Leia saying Obi-wan you're my only hope it's Brad Mcquaid.
In any case that's what I'm up to.

I've been playing EQ on the tlp ragefire, eq2 some on that tlp server, and an old strategy Heroes of Might and Magic 3!
Playing EQ1 on Lockjaw with some old friends that are new to the game. New-school players that have been curious about the old-school gameplay I keep talking about. I dont think they're 100% sold yet, but we're getting there. The graphics and animations are a huge turn off for them, but they love the gameplay and the ideas behind it.
Cheers!
Star Wars battlefront. I have an EQ and EQ2 account still and Archeage and Wildstar to goof with friends but really I only log into the first two for nostalgia and the second two when friends want to do stuff together but I'm sooooo MMO Bored with the current ease of play I was top level in most MMO's including Wow in as 3 months are less and then bored with with the only raid or high end stuff on farm status. 3 months in 1999 and I was level 10 maybe and still traveling my troll to outside of Halas looking for a specific spell vendor. Just tired of easy mode MMO's they aren't called MOSG's Massively Only Solo Games there needs to be guilds groups and effort to get things or I'm bored. There does need to be things any class can accomplish solo with tactics and skill but just macroing the top dps build for the button spamming ownership of the landscape is lame.My wrist still hurts from being a Bard and I still remember the pain of trying to walk encumbered to a certain Gnome in rathe mountains for some JBoots only to see Mortificator for the first time ever in game and not be able to get in range to pull him before some wizzy owned him.
Xcom, Pillars of eternity, and Pantheon forums :)
have the Division on pre order (if it ever makes release!)
Xcom2 will keep me busy
Really missing an mmo to hook into, so much so i was tempted to play a Vanilla wow server 2.4 ish build - pre TBC. Have all things loaded (TSW, SWTOR, EVE, RIFT, WoW, Wildstar, DnD, the Repopulation, FFXIV, gw2, lotro) if only one could hook me at least 12 months :)
Holidays now so may dabble in a few

Vanguard emulator????
I'm currently busy working on my own game and don't have much time to play.
Malsirian said: I've been playing Project: Gorgon to scratch that mmo itch. It's a small indie mmo still very early in development created by husband and wife developers which has a ton of interesting ideas behind it. They recently finished a successful Kickstarter but I think it's still free to try out atm. It's no Pantheon and never will be but it's fresh and something to kill time with while I wait. :)
Thank you for mentioning this hidden gem . Agree its no Pantheon but i had that early eq feeling . Im sure many recall the EQ goblin beads or pearls the Vanguard broken sword pieces . The graphics and game mechanics need help buts its alpha . Overall great game IMHO ./
I just picked up ESO because it looked like it's a very immersive game. I love exploring and getting lost in a world full of lore and hidden goodies. The best moments are the ones you have off the beaten path imo. ESO apparently has a lot to do apart from the main story quest. Also, the pvp looked like the kind I enjoy. I love huge RvR battles with hundreds of people, as long as I can quest in peace when I don't feel like pvping. (If I wanted a game that's nothing but competition I'd play Madden.)
So far I'm enjoying ESO, but I don't know anyone who plays it. If anyone is playing and wants someone to roll with, I'd be happy to have some company. Beware though, I'm a total noob there. I have no idea what I'm doing! lol
If you guys haven't ever tried Dragon's Dogma, go do it NOW. It's A M A Z I N G! It was on sale on Steam complete with the DLC and it's...great! The only two things I do not like about it are: there was a bug where input was messed up for some reason and there was a lot of lag in certain places (seems to be fixed last patch) and that there are no mounts of any kind minus you sprinting (and you get tired). I would have liked the opportunity to buy a horse (or elk or something) in the game but it's not that bad once you get used to it. And once you set up your little teleporter things at the major cities. I've been so attached to this I haven't even played Skyrim since I started it and that's weeeiiirrdd.
Earlier in this post I said that I wasn't really playing anything until Pantheon came out, because there was nothing worth playing. I retract that statement. I've started hungrily consuming Dragon's Dogma. These devs have done something wonderful. The creativity and immersiveness are on par with early EQ. When I'm in a dungeon I feel the cramped ominous wonder, when I'm on the edge of a cliff I feel the height. This game is an unpolished masterpeace. The graphics are nothing to write home about, but the creativity of the objects, world, and game mechanics are phenominal. I'm going to go play right now, already wasted too much time writing this. OH, and VR.. everyone there should have to play through this game as homework and a reminder what fantasy, wonder, and immersion are. There's a lot to be learned from what the devs of Dragon's Dogma accomplished (but I know you could do it better).

I am playing this too at the moment in between EQ (duo with a friend) and a couple of other single player games and it has been a refreshing change, I am having a lot of fun and being challenged again :)
