MMO resurgence-- GW2, TSW, LOTRO.

Last year I played quite a few number of MMOs, including Star Wars, Final Fantasy 14, etc. I put them away and started playing some HD games for PS3, like Kingdom Hearts HD, Silent Hill HD, etc.

I recently got a few email updates for new content for some of the MMOs I played and I feel like Im being drawn in again.

Guild Wars 2-- I like the update changes, specifically there are a few more ppl now where areas were emptier before. I wonder how long it will last? I think when the game gets more content updates like living story or events then more ppl will play. I like it so far.

The Secret World-- I got an email for content updates and Im curious to see the new additions. I quite like the darkness and dark themes, TSW is just right! World of Darkness MMO was cancelled, so I'm looking to get back into this game them, but god dammit! No World of Darkness!

Lord of the Rings-- Some more content was added to this game? Not sure how much is accessible for low levels, or if new classes have been added yet, but Im interested. I will be checking back in.

Anyone else playing any MMOs around here? I tend to be a lone wolf when it comes to these games, so I'll keep representing on pixlbit.

I don't think I'll be playing Elder Scrolls Online or FF14 for now. I was excited about Wildstar, but its reception has been quite lack luster. Now Im hoping Everquest will be good.

I was contemplating playing WoW, but I just don't know... Also Star Wars has housing, so there is that.

Later y'all!

ONce I get my new computer I think I'm gonna give Secret World a try again. I really liked that one but my computer couldn't handle it.

Guild Wars 2 is also another game I want to try once I get a new PC.

Honestly Snee, these games have been around for a while now and have loads of content compared to launch. GW2 is always doing events so there is always a reason to jump in. The Secret World is a resource monster on my PC, it chugs along but I still like it. They both have Action RPG type controls. It is the best time to play these if you get a new PC.

Even with my new laptop, I wonder how much MMO goodness I could handle, but LotR as an MMO has me intrigued.

If you decide to give LOTR a try let me know, I have to redownload it but I did like playing it when I had it last year.

I love LOTRO because of Tolkien and the world. I don't care if it is generic or playes like WoW. I prefer it to WoW. Im thinking of playing atleast once a week. If you are interested let me know so we can play on the same server.

I played Neverwinter last night and I quite enjoy it. It plays alright on my PC but I might not fully jump into it till I buy the upgrade part for my PC. It plays similar to Diablo 3 skill wise which isnt to bad at all. Keeps things kind of controlled and not all over the place. I havent played FF14 in 2 days because I had been playing it day in and out since beta and early access so I needed a few days break.

WOW is good and I actually thought of joining back in on it but waiting for a few more peope to go in with it with me. I can play by myself but eventually i get bored and lonely so I give up. This fall the chracter models will update as well as the new expansion drops. Now would be a good time to try it out and see if you like it. You can play for free till level 20.

I thought about D&D but that world nerver interested me that much. As for WoW, Id have to eventually buy the whole game and sub, so it keeps me away for that reason. Im enjoying Hearthstone card game though.

I'll be tempted by Elder Scrolls Online when it comes to consoles. I may play Path of Exile on PC sometime. I think that's an MMO.

Well I guess if Path of Exile is an MMO then Diablo 3 is an MMO, and both are great. Actually D3 is supposed to be superb with the new changes and expansion. So add those to the list of MMOs I guess! : )
