Best online game to get?


Recommended Posts

WoW - Hate it, please dont mention that game here.

For MMO's I was looking at aion..but eh. Might consider waiting til Guild Wars 2, or Diablo III

But what games would you guys suggest with a large community? Along the lines of FPS, or MMO's.

Prob battlefield bad company 2 but still in debate about that game.

Aion's a lot of fun, if you don't mind a bit of grinding in the upper levels. The grinding's mixed with a good bit of world PVP and some fun world-scale combat/zones. Game's come a long way since release.

Aion is meant to be great to begin wtih, but then it just turns into farming and grinding (Which is the most pointless thing you can ever do).

I would wait for Starcraft 2. It'll all be new, all the players will be new, and it will be quite busy.

Everquest 2 isn't too bad, it's been pretty much re-written since the original launch.

Some people complain it's too easy though. You can get a free 14 day trial, so it won't cost you anything.

I reccomend you pre-order the following -

StarCraft 2

C&C 4

Diablo 3

& that you buy Guild Wars.

In total it should cost you around.. ?80. Its sooo worth it though.

Pretty poor list:

1. 3 of the games aren't even out yet.

2. 2 aren't due any time soon.

3. 1 is old and sucks (Guild wars)

4. C&C 4 is probably going to be crap. RA3 wasn't that amazing so I wouldn't hold my breath for C&C4

I'd vote eq2 also if you haven't tried it out. be sure to roll on the antonia bayle server though, it's the highest population for a pve server, by far.

eve is also a pretty good game to try out, i could never get into it for any length of time, but it's got a lot of stuff to do.

Don't get Eve unless you love loosing hours and hours and hours of work everytime you die.

I too would like to try something else other than WoW, but the sad fact is nothing has compared to it as of yet. Developers are too greedy and anxious to try and cash in on WoW's success, creating a half assed product and expecting it do as well, giving it little or no supoort and an endless list of issues they dont care about, and so they fail abysmally.

Others, so called free MMO's are gimped, with more than half the decent content locked, unless you spend real world money, through paid downloadable content, and micropayments etc. To me that's not even a game, but just one giant interractive commercial.

That's what insurance is for...

You still lose, but not that badly. It is very annoying however when you have a corp camping a gte and killing all who go through it.Of course I'm not a fan of pvp in any game though so I'm a bit biased against these losers who force it upon you.

Why not give Lord of the Rings Online a try?

1. There is a reason why i put "pre-order".

2. Doesnt matter, it will be worth the wait.

3. Guild Wars is one of the most popular MMORPGs, oh and it has no monthly fee's - bonus :D

4. C&C4 is the finale in the tiberium series, and it should be pretty good. I liked RA3.
