Just a heads upon this. If you have a www.mmorpg.com account (free) than they are offering a 14 day free trial for EVE Online. I just love the free trials that don't ask for billing information If you don't have an mmorpg.com account you can still make an account and get in on the trial for EVE. You'll get an account key and a 560MB'ish download link that will take another 120MB's or so to patch once installed. What is EVE Online? It's like Cr@cK, you take a little taste and you are hopelessly hooked forever. Just don't do it! Now for the rest of us mmog addicts looking for variety, it's a space mmorpg a bit like the old beloved Earth & Beyond. I'd be tempted to play through a couple free trials and then subscribe but I must warn you, it wont be long until Pirates of the Burning Sea is released and that will probably just about shut down every other mmorpg in existence for a time at least. Good point about EVE... : I really like the interface, it reminds me a lot of trueSpace the modelling application crossed with the Linux OS. Bad point: I think it's a bit silly to warp through suns and planets http://www.mmorpg.com/eve_trial.cfm [This message has been edited by Faith_Warrior (edited November 30, 2006).] |

I think I have played it, didn't like the way animations worked in combat because it made it difficult to evaluate your changes and what is actually happening in the game. It was otherwise ok. ------------------ [VoHW] (Help needed) [Blog] - Truedisciple (mp3) |

Well, I've passed a lot of games over that had junk like spell crafting/casting in them. I used to play those games but not for some years now. Now I like mmogs like WWIIOL, PlanetSide, Anarchy Online and I'm looking forward to PotBS next year. I've had maybe 30 subscriptions to different mogs (not counting trials) since the early days of UO, not counting MUD's of course Now the First couple of years were hard time management wise, but after some time you get used to managing your time when playing such games. I mean, that's pretty much how it is with all things anyway. Last year was real easy though, I didn't see a single mmog being released that I was interested in. Next year is going to be hard though, with PotBS and then Star Trek Online following some time after that, I'll need to set up two or three computers to play them all at the same time haha |

MUDs for the win yo. Can you say endless worlds absolutely FREE . I like MMORPGs, but they take too much commitment for me. They burn way to much of my time working on my own games, not to mention time better spent recharging and growing spiritually (a facet of my life that I'm really starting to work on in earnest to prepare for college). I'd love to do the trial, but eh....better safe than sorry. Thanks for the info though faith Just remember, Geico.com is so easy to use, a caveman could do it ------------------ |

i'm currently playing a 10 day free trial of world of warcraft. i'll never buy a subscription to any mmorpg because i can kiss a good month or two of my life away if i do. if i start playing something like wow i can play for hours and hours at a time. but then again. anywho...i have too many things going on to waste my time playing games...well games i get too into anyway. that's why i don't commit myself to online turn-based strategy games, i don't want to have to sign in at least once a day to keep my character/city/nation/whatever alive. ------------------ proverbs 25:7 www.gfa.org - Gospel for Asia www.persecution.com - Voice of the Martyrs |

Anyway, who's joking? Just wait until you have withdrawals because the server crashed! UO was the worse, a year after I stopped playing (played for about 6 years), I still felt so compelled to subscribe again, it was like leaving a real place behind that you really grew attached to. I still want to play! Ahh but I only have so much time, I spend more time working on my own game. |
