I have decided on my top final choices for an MMO to play, which will it be?

Question

Ok, I spent a week looking over at all MMO's and spending about 2 hours reviewing each one. Before, I played WoW, and I just got bored of it, no spark left. So here are my top 3 choices.

1. Guild Wars: Looks very promising. I read a lot about it, and the fact that it's f2p made me into it more. Graphics are the same to WoW, and game is revolved around PvP, and has good Solo game play.

2. Warhammer Online: It isn't out yet, but it looks amazing. Warhammer has always been a great computer game, and the fact that there was an MMO being released made be curious. The downside is that you pay. I hope it's less than WoW, because I really can't go for more than 10 a month. Game got good previews, heard beta testing was a success. I will go to this game if the price to play is cheap.

3. Everquest 2: Now, Sony has never failed me before, and when I saw this game was made by Sony, I just had to check it out. It looks alright, but nothing too special. Game got decent reviews. The only downside is the ridiculous amount of expansions there are to get.

Well, those are my top 3. Pick which one you think is the best in your opinion and why you feel that way. Also if you have any bad comments about the games listed, please say them, as they can greatly influence my decision.

I will give best answer to whoever can provide the best info on each game. Also, if you want to talk to me out of here..

Thank you and goodnight.

Answer 1

Actually as far EverQuest 2 is concerned you can get all the expansions I believe there are three, and the adventure packs about three or four for..... $30 if you download it from the site everquest2.com, but you have to download the stationlauncher and store, a meager thing for such a great game.

I have done World of Warcraft and I too got bored of it, I also have Guild Wars and too me theres a unique feel to Guild Wars that I just couldn't get.

But get EverQuest 2. All together for subscription and base game it costs $60 for the first month for me, but it's so worth it.

To me EverQuest 2 combines the best of WoW and Guild Wars and makes it into one great game.

PROS

1. Unlimited number of spells/attacks(Like World of Warcraft, in Guild Wars you can only have 8 SPELLS/ATTACKS at once while playing in adventure areas.)

2. About 19 character races (WoW has a good selection while Guild Wars has only Humans.)

3. 18 Classes here's a small list (WoW again. I believe the base game in GW has only 6 clases, but if you get the TWO expansions it has 8)

- Paladin

-Ranger

-Assassin

-Druids(2 types)

-Necromancer

-Guardians (Tank type warriors who take damage

4. Emotes, well this isn't huge but I wanted to put this in, with the new expansions again only $30 for EQ2 and all three Expansions you can use emotes that use your voice and ones that just animate your character, theres a lot of them I believe over 80

5. Graphics, to me it has more realistic graphics, better than WoW (but WoW has more stylized cartoon like graphics) and GW.

6. A high level CAPS. With the expansions I think the level caps is 80, WoW I forgot but with the base game it's only 60 and in Guild Wars the caps for the base game is a very low 20.

7. Guilds are easy to join in EQ2, if you hit the guild option it gives you a search filter where you can then message the Guild Leader about joining the guild, all in all it took me about 3 minutes, *including conversation) to get into a good guild.

8. You can buy houses and then put objects in them, I don't believe GW has this option although WoW might I don't think it does either.

9. Just overall fun

10. The ability to take up crafts and tradeskills like making potions(alchemy) and mining, gathering, and foresting, and more. GW doesn't really have this in it, but WoW has a lot of professions in it but I think you can only pick two major ones like mining and armor making.

11. Large number of Quests, Zones, Armor, and Weapons. Plus you can duel wield one-handed swords right off the bat as long as your class can use swords.

12. Free Exploration. In GW you lack the ability to jump, and most of the time your paths are set in stone and can sometimes make it frustrating since the map doesn't clearly show what paths you can travel on. In EverQuest 2 the map is much more simple and easy to see where you can and can;t go based on terrain, but you can also jump in EverQuest 2

13. Mounts. There are creatures you can ride in EQ2, I don't think GW has creatures you can ride but WoW does too. Keep in mind though beaing able to get a mount isn't that easy.

14. Customization, you can choose your chest piece, shoulders, head (goggles to helms and beyond), waist, legs, and feet, as well as hands, forearms, and wrists I believe. You can also equip earring(2) necklaces(1) rings(2) wrists(bracelets,2) and I think a belt of some type, trust me there's a lot of equipment you can put on your character. Plus around 8 slots for bags, and you can have a weapon, off-hand(shield/duel wield) and a ranked weapon and ammo (A bow and arrows, or a thrownweapon belt and shuriken-ninja stars-) There are also throwing axes and knives and one other type I can;t remember right now.))

Cons

1.Not as popular as WoW or GW, but the fan base it loyal and very good.

2. A little repetitive combat. The combat is okay but normally you hit the same buttons over and over and attack, then again you do that in GW and WoW too.

In my opinion EverQuest is Awesome though I haven't been playing a long time I have played longer than I played Guild Wars, but not WoW.

I currently have a level 17 character so I've been indulged into the game good enough to understand it and to me it's much better than GW and WoW, but really you should try it out.

If you go to EverQuest2.com you can download the trial, granted it takes a while to download and install but hey better to try it then to just buy it and possibly waster money.

Again though EverQuest 2 is a great game and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Here's a list of some of the charater races

-Froglock (frog type creatures that walk

-Erudites (human looking people with more intelligence and a slightly different appearance than humans)

-Human

-Fairy type creatures(One type for good and one for evil

-Ratonga (small rat creaturss very cute, lol)

-Kerra (Cat/lion type humanoids)

-Iksar (Lizard type cretures, which is my main character c
