One word: Runescape.
It's so bad, it's good. As MMPORGs go it is the shizzle IMO. Sadly I have....
{Does rough calculations, factoring in imminent baby, redecorating "office" as "nursery", working hard to get big promotion to pay for imminent baby, trying to get back to match fitness (and removing fat bastard status accumulated by combinations of injury, years of debauchery and sloth) again by handing my life over to a gym, doing extra work writing a book when I can (chemistry, don't get excited, it should be ready about 20 years after I die), fucking about on Teh Intarwebs (naughty, one of the guilty pleasures still allowed to me...although perhaps not for long) and sleeping (which I won't be doing for long either apparently)}
....minus four days a week to play it. Can we campaign for the 11 day week, 5 at work, 2 for the weekend 4 for MMPORGs? Will it fly?
And as with all these things it can get a bit repetitive and dull just clicking away and unlike real gaming, it's hardly social in the same way.
However, and I will say this, possibly to the consternation/outrage of many, the one problem I found with RPGaming is, erm, other gamers. There are a majority of utterly sad bastards out there in my experience, and gaming with morons never appealed. The few times I've found fun gamers have been great however, although it's >16 years now since I've gamed. Maybe in the USA, where it's more popular I understand, it's a better environment, but nowadays I'd rather be outdoors in the few moments I get, walking, swimming, something, ANYTHING rather than being cooped up again.
Oops diversion!
Does anyone here play MMORPGs? I've heard interesting things about WoW, but never played a game. I did have an old version of just plain Warcraft for my old Mac about...umm....some years ago (10 I think) and it was fun ish.
