Do good MMO games exist?
15 years ago
Heya!
Please let me know via note if you wanna chat in Skype, I don't normally keep it open. WARNING: Huge wall of text coming up. Back off if you don't like reading through rants.
I've had some experience with MMO games in the past, be them RPG, FPS, or anything else.
American or Asian, free or paid, all that jazz.
But to this day, I've never found an MMO game that's truly satisfying.
Cash shops don't bother me, I know you don't have to spend anything to enjoy the game... Sometimes. But most of the time, you're free-to-play, but you've got to pay-to-have-fun.
Even if your character has pink hair, star-shaped sunglasses, a fruity magic wand and a fairy having sex with a pig as your pet; you still look like a lifeless loser on an online game, except you threw away money to look like an actual loser.
Communities are a big factor, but I solo most of the time, so meh. Joining guilds just gives people another window to receive ass pats and throwing shit fits if you don't love every single bit of bull that they spit out. They're also always full of hipsters with no sense of humor. ALWAYS.
I don't care if customization is nil, either. Even if your character has blue hair, a giant fruity sword and 3 pets following you around, it's you I have to deal with, not your avatar.
So that boils it down to the gameplay. Click on something, push some number keys randomly, reply to some IMs sometimes, spend 50 dollars on some magical elf semen to upgrade your weapon, BREAK your weapon and LOSE the magical elf semen, level up, repeat ad nauseam.
FPS games? Shoot someone until they die, get yelled at for using hacks even if you're not, get yelled at because you suck at the game even if you don't, get owned by some Asian dude who actually IS using hacks, be forced to play with people whose voice sounds like a cat raping a blender and sit next to giant fans, lose the game because your team sucks. Repeat ad nauseam.
So tell me, FA. Tell me now, or forever hold your peace. Do "good" MMO games actually exist? (Pardon the oxymoron.)

Also league of legends is fun.. for me..
I did used to play Ragnarok Online and loved it, then got sick of it.
AND I loved Dragonica , side scrolly spaz of awesome, but then got sick of it quickkly.
Those above are the only MMO's which stick to my mind for being good fun.
I still Play WoW. And Leage of legends occasionally. My boyfriend got APB? Recently and says its good fun aside from the hackers, like you said.
Never heard of League of Legends. What is it?
I hear that Ragnarok Online sucks. Nothing but the old same old same old.
Never heard of Dragonica, but if it is side scrolling, no thank you. Got enough of that BS with Maple Story.
I was gonna get APB, but that "pay for each playing hour" bullshit made me think twice. I'd rather pay each month than pay attendance. And it's got hackers? Thanks for the heads up, I'll stay away from it for good now.
Leage of Legends is like DOtA If you've heard of that. They just made a new CGI intro video to it which makes it look better than it is XD. It's like a RTS? er.. well.. like.. 30-50 mins matches with a team vs a team on a map and each team has 5 champions each (you being one, you can choose from like ..60? i dunno) and its rather fun. =3
I'd youtube gameplay of dragonica maybe, its very 'different' you use the keyboard and like no mouse at all and get combos and it feels like you're not playing a typical online game.
APB is apparently bringing out anti hack stuff soon so, dont take my word on it forever =P
You needed an insane amount of low level material to craft armor and weapons, and since materials were rare and they stopped dropping really quickly, it made it hard. Sure you could buy them off other players, but money was even harder to get than the actual materials.
Did they fix any of that?
Plenty of armor and clothing you can customize your char with, as well as the best 'pet' system I've used, allows you to summon 'demons' as your pets, and even merge them in specific areas to create new and more powerful ones.
Is it free? And can you get anywhere without the cash shop?
Thanks for your input, though.
