Aw, comeon. MMORPGs need more people.

Morrowind is an awesome game... I have played Elder Scrolls since Arena..

I played Morrowind on a Athlon 1700XP with 512 megs of Ram... never had any speed, loading, or other issues so I dont know what the problem is with that but it never happened to me.

What did happen is the unpatched game will crash after a bit. Patched I have no problems (still play it).

Flat out the 14 minute guy is simply a cheat. His character didnt know to go do those things. He hadn't even completed the first Blades assignment. If you dont know something, how can you do it?

Morrowind is for RPGers not mutchkins.

BTW there is no reason to Mutchkin Morrowind - its meant to be solved between lvls 20-30.

Im back to playing Ultima Online. The only thing I really hated about it before was that it was too crowded. Now that I can play it for free on hundreds of shards (mostly empty) its a LOT more fun.

I get to pack-rat, try my hand at making things, visit other peoples junk sales, kill & skin animals... all the things she hates me doing in our garage.

My biggest gripe with Ultima Online is the "solo" part; in other words, what you do when you are alone. I always found that part to be very weak, even on servers having worked on it... but I did not try some of the most innovating servers, as I cannot really play on a US server (silly time zones).

You are almost tempting me of playing a MMORPG, but I shall know how to stay away from them.

Food for thought, methinks... Or maybe I'll just pick up a copy of Guild Wars. The reviews I've seen have all been favourable, & even if it's not the greatest MMORPG out there, I think it's approach to marketing (pay for the game, no subscription, only have to pay for expansions IF you want them) deserves all the support it can get.

Download for the client for free players is about 800 mb. The files are distributed via bit torrent.

Look out for in-game ads on billboards though. The first day I tried it, I saw billboards showing "PC Gamer: Galaxy's Greatest Magazine!".

If anyone wants to play AO, I'm "deccan" on Rimor server. Send me a tell, and I'll give you some starting capital and equipment.

In-game ads aren't that big of a deal, it's a inventive way of advertising if it's incorporated into the gameworld.

Not a player of these sort of things myself, but I just wondered what you guys think of it. Seems a bit.... I mean I thought the whole point of such game was the advancement RP type stuff. If you just buy all the stuff of the shelf what's the point?
