Well I'm getting a new desktop when it's time to do my taxes early next year. Can't wait, I actually may need some of you guys help me to pick a good gaming PC.

I love sims 3 but i had to uninstall it cause ist slowed down my laptops performance and I wanted to play STO beta...

I am a simmer too.. havent got the new exp tho.. heard it was rather buggy... and I'm waiting on some patches before I spend the cash... Not to mention, I like mods.. a lot.. and I'm waiting for them to be updated.

What are you're thoughts? I wasn't all that impressed with what's been described.. mini-games, and what not...

I heard they finally made basements an actual build type, rather than the "work arounds that have been there since Sims 1... that true?

Thanks all! I'm very excited about the game, as I'm sure we all are, and am looking forward to representing Stonewall to the best of my abilities.

Yay.. Grats Terrapax!

As Ambassador of Stonewall Fleet it is an honour to promote one of our members.

Terrapax, as of this moment, you are hereby assigned as my Diplomatic Aide. You are also promoted to the rank of Commodore with all of the rights and privileges associated with that rank.

Congratulations, Commodore!

I will send a communique to you soon with your first assignment.

Please join me on congratulating Commodore Terrapax on his new position and rank!

Peace and long life.

Is The Agency an MMO? I thought it was just an RPG. Will have to check it out.

Meh.. never cared for that kinda stuff. Though I do love a good James Bond flick (Connery mostly). I have heard of that game though. But again.. no ship battles lol

Yep, like i said.. im sci fi MMO starved.. esp good space battles. ive had to resort to watching dominion war battle scenes on DS9 dvds!! lol

Star Wars? Check. Bioware? Check Check. I am very excited about TOR. I usually play 2 MMOs at a time, so I am hopeful they will be Star Trek and Star Wars. Soooo sick of fantasy MMOs.

Jager said it, no space ship combat.. least I dont think. I havnt really read anything up on that game except that it was taking beta apps (I waited a few days since it all crashed..).

SW: TOR looks like it will be fun but I haven't been following it as closely as STO. I think it's the lack of space ship combat. But I have several friends who are excited about it so I will likely give it a shot.

I just hope it doesn't suck me in, I can't afford two MMO subscriptions. :laugh:

Wow Har, thats great. Why did that game disappear so fast? i dont see what was wrong with it really. It was a bit weird i guess, but that wasnt always a bad thing. I stopped playing cuz I couldnt afford it and got sick of MMOs (games in general for awhile). bioware rocks.. playing Dragon Age Origins. Game is sweet.

I've played: WoW, FF online, SWG, EVE, COH, and a few minor crappy ones.

I've beta'ed: Tabula Rasa (I thought it was good.. i dont understand what happen with it), Aion (great graphics, lack of immediate plot), some iteration of D&D online (total crap), and I forgot what else lol

I'd love to try/beta SWTOR. Why are you so certain you will get into the beta for it Har? I wish I was sure I'd get into the beta for STO

Played CoH/V for a long time, and am currently a WoWhead. I'm an officer in a great guild there, and while I expect STO will likely become my main MMO, I will probably continue to play WoW as well.

I have NWN2, but I'm missing the first disk (I got it from my ex). I'm gonna try to find the first disk to download though.

I tried to like DDO for my boyfriend twice. I just couldn't get into it, and he was bad at explaining everything. Character creation in that game is apparently easy... if you have played a Pen and Paper RPG, which I had not.

I thought the graphics were alright. Pretty similar to LOTRO's style (same company, so it makes sense).

I did like how the dungeons had their own stories. Hated the combat (because, quite frankly, I was just bad at it).

He still tries to get me to play on occasion, but I just can't get into it.

Have you tried Dungeons and Dragons ONLINE? I hear its free. My Brother plays it.

My last BF and I played DDO when it was first released... back when it was still P2P. Our playing lasted about two months as I recall.

At the time, we were playing CoH and WoW on and off, and it wasn't good enough then to warrant replacing either of those... or being worth a third sub a month.

All I basically remember of it was... we didnt care for the "too linear" story. Graphics weren't that great... and my ex's deal-killer for sure... the camera was a fight in game.

Now that it has gone from P2P, to F2P... I can't really imagine that any of those issues has imporved much...

"Die Hard" D&D players probably wouldn't mind playing DDO.. but... we didn't care much for it.

Eh.. I might, since its free. but I'm STARVING for a GOOD sci fi mmo.. *prays for his beta invite*

See thats funny, cuz no one can ever figure out where i am from based on my accent. In florida they think i am from the north, up north they have no idea lol My stepmother, who raised me since I was 1, was from michigan. My father and his (who i all grew up with) are eastern european-decent and speak a european langauge most of the time. All that stuff together confuses many people lol I try not to say y'all though..

As for the point of the thread.. I get burned out on WoW very fast, within a month or two. But then i go back after a few months. I tried other MMOs too. EVE is too complicated for my casual player tastes. SWG sucks and Final fantasy online is a total grind fest. Cant think of anything else out there. I'd like to play Black Prophecy and Jumpgate Evolution, if they ever release. and yes.. I'll TRY SWTOR.. dont hate me! lol
