looks cool, but please don't turn into a boring b*st*rd like the guys I work with who just ramble on about World of bloody Warcraft all day long... 🙂

Heh, no worries. I just like the gfx. Turns out it is quite nice ingame as well, but I have yet to find out if it is too time consuming (which I presume).

Careful... 😮 ... First discovered online RPG gaming back in the days of text based MUDs.. Took up a significant proportion of my first year at uni.. Not as bad as my mate though who clocked up two months solid playing time... 😀 😀 😀

I once had over 74 hours of login time on the uni computers, for one week! Hmm, maybe shouldn't admit that - but that was a long time ago 😉

P.S. Nice graphic work in the images!

It does look rather good..

Is it a kind of modern Elite multiplayer thing? I can imagine that would be quite fun...

Yes, as the title says, its one of these MMORPGs...

i bet it could... i'm old enough to remember playing Elite on the BBC Micros at school (mid 80s...), spent way too much time on it, probably explained my lousy coursework mark... 🙂

hah. i play WoW. rather played. it gets boring after your level 60 and youve done all the instances.

that is, it got boring after they introduced battlegrounds, which basicly killed free world pvp.

good thing that was, so i could take some time-out from that game. simplest mmorpg out there, extremely linear, extremely repetative, but the pvp action is insane. hooks you like mad, even though youll be running around like a complete copy like everyone else with the same character/talent build and equipment.

now, i quit wow for a while to focus on other things, more creative things. 😉

Well, I stopped playing it after a couple of days. I felt that to really get into it, I would have to commit way more time, which just isn't possible. Was really nice looking though, just that they could really add a lot more space effects to it. Shame they stopped after nebulas 🙂

I felt it was really focussed on the technical side, not so much on the "a nice place to go to and enjoy" side... apart from the nebulas and the nice warp effect that is...

I really hate the fact that a lot of mmorpgs seem to focus on the economical interest of people while forbidding them to have actual financial interest in it. The only chance they could have to keep it going for longer is to make it touching in other areas, and EVE just couldn't keep up to that very long...
