Well I guess it's processor speed then. ^.^ Basically, those brief pauses in the 14-minute demo thing are 10-15 seconds long for me.

Then again I can cover half a "zone" in a single jump so I'm seeing them every few seconds if I'm trying to travel fast. I'm also running a TON of mods, which doesn't help. :> (75 mods at last count, plus all three expansions)

Re: OT: Morrowind?
 

Well, as a great man once said, "Resistance is futile!" Never played a true MMORPG, so I figure if I don't have to pay a thing, I may as well give it a go to see if I even like it. deccan, expect a request for funding soon. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Another person has joined us...

Re: OT: Morrowind?
 

No problem, but since AO doesn't have an in-game mailing system like WOW, we'd have to meet up sometime. Also, my main is neutral so I can go anywhere, but if you choose a sided faction, there will be places you can't go too.

You'll start in Newbie Isle anyway, and once you leave you can't go back.

Re: OT: Morrowind?
 

Yeah, and if we get enough, we can start our own SEIV org in AO! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: OT: Morrowind?
 

I've been thinking about giving AO a try as well. We'll see how it goes.

Re: OT: Morrowind?
 

In order to really enjoy morrowind:
1. Learn all the features the map has
2. Do not rely on guilds/jobs for money(plenty of faqs on money pumps in game)
3. TRAIN YOUR SKILLS at the trainers
4. The designers did a horrible job of directing the player so get an online guide, pick a quest and complete it howver you want.
555555.......!!!!!!! The original morrowind IS DULL after about 20 hrs of play. Thats where mods come in http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif There are a huge variety of mods including themed mods like AVP, gameplay mods like sri's alchemy, visual effects like BetterBodies and there are entire lists of mods online(some of the mods might even have QUESTS lol)

OH YES, if you do play morrowind at least, at the very least, i beg you to get the morrowind enhanced and combat enhanced mods. They make the game twice as enjoyable: www.freewebs.com/aerelorn

OK since it was free I just took a stab at AO also. Interesting, but I think I will probably stick with UO

Re: OT: Morrowind?
 

I played it when it first came out on the PC and got the first expansion pack after I beat Morrowind. It was a great game, very immersive and quite a time hog. It probably took me ~100 hours to get through the main story with several added quests, restarts etc. Not a GREAT game, but quite good. There are aspects I would change (the magic system, for example), but worth the bargain bin dive, if you can allot the time.

Re: OT: Morrowind?
 

I still like it. You can change almost every aspect of this easy customizable RPG. E.g. I prefer playing with an alternative levelling system (without caps), it is pretty new: http://uk.geocities.com/galsiah/

... and with economy revamp mods like:
economy adjuster modules

... and with children

The list goes on and on... I have got about 250 mods installed altogether. You have to love it, or you hate it. I am MW addicted.
