    Well met!

    You may wish to check out the thread, "So what's everyone playing..." in the Art and Fiction subforum.

    Here is my reply there-in:

    The games I am currently playing, in order from most frequently to once-in-a-while are:
    1. Star Trek Online
    2. Star Wars: The Old Republic
    3. Forsaken World
    4. Diablo III
    5. Magic The Gathering 2013 (Xbox 360, SP & MP)
    6. DC Universe Online
    7. Civilization V: Gods & Kings (SP & Hotseat)
    8. Neverwinter Nights 2
    9. Vanguard
    10. Dungeons & Dragons Online
    11. Lord of the Rings Online
    12. Eden Eternal
    13. Sevencore (Just finished CBT, OBT starts Sept 6th)

    When beta/release happens, I expect that list will look something like this:
    1. Neverwinter Online
    2. Civilization V: Gods & Kings (Hotseat)

    Then, some time after-wards, I am sure I'll still dabble in some of my older favorites, looking something like this:
    1. Neverwinter Online
    2. Star Trek Online
    3. Magic the Gathering 2013 (MP Only)
    4. Civilization V: Gods & Kings (Hotseat)
    5. Forsaken World

    Just waiting for Cryptic to give me the Realms.

    that is quite a list of games. when do you pee? lol

    *the mage chuckles*

    I rarely play more than any three games in one day. I usually always, first thing when I start my game-time, is log into STO and do all my character's DOFF stuff and the Lore dailies. That takes about 15 minutes total. I then hop into Forsaken World to claim my daily rewards there and maybe do a daily or two if a character is close to leveling. That takes about 20 minutes.

    I then choose one of the many games and end up playing that mostly for the rest of the time I can play. I usually don't play any games for long periods of time, consecutively, other than STO on occasion.

    My main problem is the game keeping my attention and not boring me to death with repetition and grind. STO used to keep my attention and enjoyment non-stop, until they introduced the Dilithium system, then it became a repetitive dilithium grind -- which has all but killed my enjoyment of the game.

    I know NWO will, if at least at first, fulfill my need for an MMO that isn't grindy, boring and repetitive. I hope they do not loose sight of this. I'm looking forward to once again having only one main game title that I play regularly, like I used to for 10 years with Ultima Online. On top of this, it is the Forgotten Realms! OMM worthy, indeed! (Oh My Mystryl!).

    Here's my MMORPG.com listing:

    I really disliked guild wars. it has some very nice feautures, unique, creative etc, but you need a really good pc to play it decently, and the combat-targeting system is soooooo bad. Especially after i played raiderz, i just can't stand that type of combat. :p

    Believe it or not, I'm not playing anything. Or perhaps one could say I'm playing everything. Here on Limbo things change so fast...

    I'm hopping a lot here and there, there aren't any new single-player games I'm interested in, and I don't have enough time to invest seriously into any MMO, so I got stuck at the typical 20-something level for all that I've tried so far: Ai0n, RaiderZ, Continent of the Ninth Seal... All of them are OK I guess, nothing groundbreaking though.

    Also still technically in DDO, but I'm finding it difficult to get back into the game a) now that I'm not paying a sub and only own a limited amount of content and b) with all the recent game changes. I basically just log onto my main for a few hours a week to do some basic raids etc.

    Also contemplating joining a RP PW for NWN2, but I'm yet to muster the courage and pick a good time to do so, since I've never really done any serious roleplay. The Sigil PW looks enticing though, and I've already download its required files, so I'll give it a shot eventually. If anyone's already on there, give me a shout, it'd be helpful to have someone introduce me to the system.

    Aside from that, I don't have much time for anything else. If I don't feel like logging on to any of the abovementioned MMOs, I'll boot up Hard Reset, which is an excellent shooter, which I'm yet to beat. Highly recommended.

    @zebular: Is Sevencore any good? I haven't heard of it but I just checked it out and it looks curious.

    Been playing GW2 the last few days just to tide me over until NWO. GW2 is a well-done game but it is definitely just filler. I really hate the mixture of technology with fantasy and the events seem a bit overdone. But overall a very solid game. Looking forward to trying Wizardry Online but again it will simply be filler.

    For the time being, the games I'm playing are:

    * Dark Souls PDTE
    * Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia
    * Final Fantasy X

    I love me some JRPGs ^_____^

    Also, just finished with the RaiderZ beta (which btw plays much like Dark Souls - except everything has like 10 times the health, including the player, so you have much more room for error)

    I only got to play in the short, 3 day CBT for only an hour. However, I enjoyed it very much in that short time. So, while I did like it and am looking forward to Open Beta, my opinion of it doesn't have a very good foundation to base it upon.

    It would not be good of me to say it was either good or bad. Just in the short time I was able to play it, I enjoyed it.

    I'm playing wreckateer, it's the best in the catapult genre IMO, probably because I get to pretend that I'm actually pulling the catapult b:pleased

    I'm not playing any MMO's at the moment, mostly because they all seem the same to me and I am looking for something different to play.

    I currently Play DDO and Champions Online. I was in the beta Test for SWTOR for a long time last year, but do not play it anymore. I just can not get interested in it, too much generic MMO with SciFi skin on it.

    Uhhh, how many catapult games are out there? More than two?

    Sadly seconded.

    From the catapult I suddenly remembered the stronghold series. It had catapults, trebuchets and all kind of siege engines...

    Hmm, the catapult is one of the earliest games in the electronic medium. Angry Birds is simply the most popular current iteration.

    No you really don't. The game requires some moderate specs but nothing that high at all. My comp is a few years old, prolly in the middleground on hardware now and plays the game just fine with 30-40 fps avg. 30 in in high activity areas with a lot of players.

    There's nothing messy bout it, it's a very well made MMO. A lot of their conventions/philosophies are not sitting well with some while for many it's what they've been waiting for. Maybe it's the DEs that's messy to you which for once there is an MMO that is actually an MMORPG and not an OMG.

    And not playing the first is irrelevant, only thing that would matter is some places or monuments you would recognize like the horn in the Black Citadel that was used in Prophecies in Ascalon after the Searing or the Pyre Fierceshot statue that was a character in Eye of the North.
