Which game are you coming from?Follow

I'm just making this post because i'm interested in seeing what game people have been playing before getting interested in WoW. I came from EQ.

Started with UO for 4 years.

Played FFXI for 6 months or so.

To be honest, I was intially avoiding WoW like the plague. All I heard was "WoW this" and "WoW that". Was kind of annoying.

So when I started getting annoyed with FFXI, it stopped being fun and started seeming like work, I went looking for another game.

First choice was Wish, but that's been pushed back to the 2nd quarter of 2005. I signed up for the beta for that, which is in december, so may not do WoW until after that beta.. will have to wait and see.

Anyways, since I quit FFXI I was looking for a new game to play. EQ2 didn't interest me, Wish did (but was going to be so long before that came out) so I decided to look some more into WoW.

So far, I'm liking what I see.

WACK A$$ FINAL FANTASY!!! Any world where it takes a Dragoon 1 whole week of seeking party to get invited to one, only to have the WHM leave 10 min later and party disband is not the world for me. The damn game could be soooooo much better if the XP system was shifted where you actually can solo a decent,or equal and gain ok XP and downtime wouldnt' matter cause at least you'll be gaining XP while waiting for a PT with a job that's not popular. And Max XP being 200-280 with SC's at any lvl! Thats INSANE, you lose more XP when you die post lvl 40 than you gain!! Urgh oh well before I lose it, I'm patiently waiting for something to change in that game before I try again, my 43 RNG is waiting and WOW is right around the corner....

Hello fellow FFXI gamer,

I play always FFXI, but very slowly : 64 monk since a long time (2 monthes)...

I'm looking after WoW to give me more fun than in FFXI :

- no more useless wasted time waiting for a party,
- less NM camper : instance dungeon anyone =)
- no bot to start with, and I hope a firm stand of Blizzard against all sort of cheaters...

Well, anyway, I will give WoW a try, and probably more than a try, as I like the features...

regards,

Nolife
FFXI : Monk 64 / Warrior 32 / Paladin 27

Everquest for me.

i ditched ffxi 2 months ago and im currently Playing DAOC untill WOW comes out.

To guardian lance:

I know how you feel i was a dark knight. I do advise you try DAOC
any ANY class can solo, even the healers, parties are even better cuz u actually Kill a few mobs at a time. oh and almost every class can solo ojs (tough enemies) and reds (very tuff enemies) yellow (even match) are very easy and u can chain em forever.
Its a good game to spend some time until WOW comes out. oh and go to the gaheris server, its the pve server and its fun as hell (no bots)

Started with EQ, played for 2 years
Went to FFXI, played for 5 or 6 months
Went to Lineage 2, Played for a month or two

Am now waiting on WoW (It looks so far to be better than EQ2 and DnL to me)

It'd be great if we could, but I know Kail's definitely not interested in playing. In fact, the only person I know of who's shown interest is Kathryn, so I expect to see her around.

Sweet, I'd love to see Alth play this. I imagine we could get a good guild together if we just mush everyone together.

I'd love to help, but aside from the Ala FFXI forums, I have no access to FFXI...

Anyway, were thinking of going to a PvP or PvE server?

im coming from galaxies

PvE without a doubt.

I am not a PvP fan, because of Griefers and The High-Levels that think they're "uber" because they can kill a lvl 1.

Long wait... Nov. 15 at earliest

Yeah, I agree, "no-rules" PvP brings out the worse.

Yea i quit SWG a month ago lol. I had a Bounty Hunter guess why i quit. LOL

As for PvP servers this is not how the final PvP servers will be Blizzard plans to have many things implemented that will make PvP more enjoyable. Heres a link.

Ah.. good ol' UO. That was my first MMO, like 8 or 9 years ago. I stopped playing when they started updating the graphics and my poor computer and 56k connection couldn't handle them. If I knew where my disk was, I'd probably play that to kill some time, though it would suck to have to re-level my character back to where it was when I quit. *sigh* Ah well...

I have yet to find another MMO that could hold my attention for as long a time as UO did. With any luck, WoW will be able to, but who knows...

Fable looks awesome, though I don't have an X-Box, so I don't believe I'll be playing it.

Once my new computer gets here, I'll probably kill some time with Doom 3, though I don't know how long it will take to get through it. If it's anything like the first two, it won't take too terribly long.

UO was just a great over all game. They constantly had awesome events (Fall and Retaking of Tristan... god that was awesome), and a great storyline.

I did like the PvP in that game, to a degree. I liked the fact that you couldn't really tell how much better someone was than you. It wasn't a case of "Oh, you're obviously a lvl 31, so I'm gonna run away." Instead it was "Oh, you're a Grand Master Healer... hrmm..." two hits later, "...And apparently a Grand Master Swordsman too..." *runs away*

Such a great game...

Yeah, it was nice to be able to hop back and forth between PvP and PvE. I loved how PvE world was nice and pretty and the PvP world was dead...

Btw, do you think we've completely hi-jacked this thread yet?
