Need a new MMORPG to play.

>_> Since it is Bioware that are making it, I doubt that any of these things will be a problem, they do got some experience with RPG games (since they've made most of the best in that category). And if you can expect what will happend in 8 different class stories, each one longer than the entire KOTOR game, then you've got some good prediction skills.

I'd say that if you wanna play MMO, either w8 and try SWTOR or try out EVE Online. I'm pretty sure that SWTOR will be awesome, and I Know that EVE is, though it's kinda hard as a beginner xD

I once tried Eve but it's... To complicated, you know the travel safe/fast button? Right... Where was it? Cause i -really- couldn't find it. I looked and i looked but nowhere to be seen. The movement is also way to restricted, you can only travel there where something is... I suppose it makes sense for efficiency reasons but what do they care?

Edit: All in all, the game is to much gizmo's and to little actual explanation.

Ehr... What?

1. There is no "travel safe" button, there is a "lightspeed" or w/e it was called that you use, mainly between fixed locations because of the massive distances, but you can travel into nowhere as well. It's never safe though, since pirates and shit await you in the lower-security areas and will stop you even if you go into 'lightspeed'.
2. Then there is also 'jumpgates' that will take you between different 'areas', since the distances are to large to travel manually (Maybe you can if you try though... Iono, it'll take a few hours anyway if it's possible =P).

A tip is: Do the Tutorial, cause it is really useful, and needed. Unlike most games, it is really hard to learn how to play EVE without going through it, and even if it does not explain every aspect of the game, at least it makes sure you're not stuck at the beginning.

Ehhh ive never played a star wars online game.....hmm ill try it for curiosity sake. Any other good mmos that uses swords?

Im currently in the Star Trek Online beta and although they seem to be making awesome changed and listening to the user base the game is far from polished, since the release is early fed I am concerned that it wont be ready for release.

OMG this is soo true. The game was so awesome when it was in beta. Then they nerfed the muse and made you pay. There was no advertising and the game just failed.

^do not listen to this guy, or you'll regret the time you'll spend on that crappy for the rest of your life.

I think you misunderstood, i was at what i think to remember as the first tutorial mission where you had to travel through dangerous area's and the tutorial warned you to change your setting from as fast as possible to as safe as possible when going there. So you didn't end up in the low security zones.
Thing is, the button was nowhere to be found, i got fed up, went anyways, got owned.
At that point i decided a game where you can just lose everything is not my kind of game.

Also... Do not play Runescape. But brother has been at it for 6 years and the bastard is still not at the end, it's probably the best browser game ever, but it's not the browser league anymore but in the MMO league, where it is absolutely at the bottom of it all.

... Are you sure you're thinking of the same game as I am? Not only is it not possible to switch between "fast" and "safe", high-speed jumps are always done in max speed. The closes thing would be switching between speed boosters and shield boosters, but that is much later in the game, if you even get any of those.

The tutorial, from what I remember is quite simple, and it is almost impossible to die, since you face the weakest of the weakest foes, they hardly even do any damage, and you kill them in like 3 shots. Yes, you can die and lose everything in this game, but that is not easy; first, your ship has to blow up. Second, your escape pod (fully capable of escaping combat through lightspeed) must be blown up. And after that, you still have one free clone of your character back at your current base of operations, with more available to buy (though at quite the cost). Most of the tutorial is also not focused on combat, but on the interface and the other aspects of the game, like mining, trading, research and development etc.

Well, I recommend Not skipping Anything in the tutorial, and if you ever get stuck or need help with something there are great resources available, as well as a superior official forum.

I mean, this is a game that is so large and so realistic (except for the fact that it is in space and another galaxy) that you almost can't believe it. You can become anything you want from a pirate, bounty hunter, miner, trader, political leader, soldier, business tycoon, scientist, shipbuilder, weapon developer... You name it, the possibilities are endless, and you're not stuck on one permanent "class", you can build your character however you want, and Do whatever you want (something that can be quite confusing if you do not read up on the game). This is not like WoW; you do not belong to a small time guild doing dungeon raids (ofc, you can if you want, though you'll be raiding "unexplored areas" and asteroid belts etc), here, if you want, you can belong, or lead, a corporation with the goal of ruling the galaxy (yes, In-Game there are players that rule the game with their followers, which are other players, and the political struggle... Nah, you haven't seen nothin' yet in a MMO if you haven't played EVE Online.

omg tl;dr warning on this one.

EDIT: w8, maybe you're talking about the navigation with the map system? Not that I think you'll be going anywhere near low level security zones on that level, since they are faaaar from where the game begin, but I guess that would be the only part of the tutorial where they bring that up... But low area zones are reached by jumpgates? -_- I can not see how you failed to get where you were supposed to.

I am fairly certain it was something like this: You are in point A and need to go to point B. However, point C in between point A and B is a high risk area to travel through. So that "option" that the tutorial said something about would instead let you travel through the safe points D and E to get to B...

In any case, i'll admit that EVE online is pretty damn good, it's just not my damn good.

As I said, it is a complicated game, hard to get into, but when you start to get the hang of things... Oh, if I'd cum cause of plain epicness, I'd cum cause of this game.

*Hands a tissue* Do what must be done.

In any case, i'm more of the jump in, have fun and stop player... Not the hardcore that keeps on playing and repeating a cycle for so long.

I'm at EVE Online for like two months now and it's pretty damn hard. It's, in my opinion, the best MMO I've played so far but I've got a bunch of pro people helping me out and "teaching" me this game the relatively easy way. I'd probably have WTF-quitted this already if it wasn't for them.

One thing certain is that this game is unique, not yet another level-grindfest clone with instanced PvP. It also features pretty much the best economy system I've ever seen in an MMO - because it's not idiot-proof, people got the means to rip each other off and this is why everyone with a functional brain takes mad care of his money.

PvP is literally forced on you, there are close to no rules but player-made ones and if you piss someone off he's got all the means to see you floating dead in space, no matter where you are.

If you're into challenges, this game is definitely recommended. If you'd rather enjoy easier and safer games, play WoW.

*Cough* *points at self*

I just hate tough games... Never have the time to get good at them so i only ever play easy and normal kinds of difficulties.
