Do you play MMORPGS

[GoodNewsJim]

I do for fun and profit.

Ahhhh!!! I hate MMORPGs! They should be banned!

1) They accomplish nothing tangible or intangible. Not even gaming skills. Minimal hand-eye coordination... Reasoning skills... Reaction time... Critical Thinking... The "community" argument is not true. They are big black holes of non-industriousness. Any level of "skill" is directly proportional to the vast amount of time one invests.
2) They are truly addictive. I played one for 2.5 weeks. After realizing what an immense waste of time it was, and how much it propogated anti-social behavior, I deleted the darn thing and never looked back.

I have three friends who play World of Warcraft... EVERY time I come down they're on their computers staring at the screen like zombies. One of them actually spent REAL MONEY to buy FAKE MONEY in the game.

I'm sorry to be so harsh -_-'... but i just despise MMORPGs on every level.

Not really, no.

I used to play Diablo 2 but I beat it and it got boring. My machine and/or connection speed where I was was usually never good enough to enjoy better games such as NWN, plus I would get bored too quickly, then when I would get interested again i would have to start over, which would bore me also.

hehe i don't know what that stands for

 

[Someguyouknow]

I use to play Guild Wars... That was before i switched to Linux. I could play it on Linux but... meh... I am not missing it much.

 

[Grunt]

EVE-Online.

 

[gemini_swede]

I used to play Well of Souls and SilkRoad Online for a while. Not sure if those really count since they don't really seem like your "traditional" MMORPGs sometimes

 

[archangelz]

have no clue what that is

 

[A Taffer]

I play World of Warcraft and I'm just now renewing my Eve Online account tomorrow after a while away from the game. In the past I've played Diablo 2, Everquest 1 (I played for four years), Everquest 2, Guild Wars and Dark Ages of Camelot.

 

[Barren]

Played Dark Age of Crackalot for a solid year, and I mean solid. Never left the house.

I agree with the above poster, ban them all.

I'll never even consider playing one again.

 

[shep87]

eve-online, and still loving it after 3 and a half years.

 

[okiemommy26]

Everquest 2 and I am addict but I don't have a computer to support it so I don't play. Doesn't really matter anyways lol I don't have time to play.

 

[stormgade4]

I played Evercrack I for two years.

I've played World of Warcraft for almost two years now but I haven't played it much recently. Once you hit level 60, the game gets boring.

Diablo 2 isn't really an MMORPG, but that's a quibble.

I'm an RTS or FPS man, myself. Never really saw the point of MMORPG. I mean, I'd rather work on my real-life skills (like shooting baskets) or go on a real-life quest (like going to the gym and playing some hoops, and vanquishing the evil other team).

[smiledaily]

I have no idea what it is.

 

[Nautica]

No

 

[Victory of the Cross]

not as yet want to play LOTR Online (when it arrives) and Star Wars Galaxies

 

[Scotty_Aussie87]

I played world of warcraft for a bit, 2 months, as a way of spending time/doing an activity with my older brother and sister as they live in a different city. wasnt willing to get too involved with it as i have IT studies to complete and i know what a time consuming effort the game can become!

spend more time nowadays upgrading, case modding, tweaking, overclocking and benchmarking my PC than playing games.
