So I just reactivated my Sony Station Pass. Now most people raise their eyebrow when I do that, I can explain!
Everquest - I used to be completely freaking addicted to this game. It was my first, and like your first you keep thinking back and saying “damn, that was actually pretty good”. Of course it’ll take me a good 30 minutes to say “wait, why did I just do that?” at which point I’ll be chastised for even wasting the three hours of freaking patches for it.
Everquest II - They’ve done a lot of changes to this game since its release. It’s overall a fun game, but it’s probably a lot more fun with a guild and such. The graphics aren’t bad, the classes are pretty fun… Worth the price of admission, if the quests weren’t odd sometimes. I can’t put my finger on why I haven’t devoted myself to this game yet.
Star Wars Galaxies - No, I didn’t install this. After they completely changed everything about how the game worked I have no interest at all in it. The game, the way it was, was fun and unique. Your character could really do anything they wanted, and the Galactic Civil War really loomed. You could have player towns and while there were flaws with the game design (tradeskills and some of the weapon skills come to mind) but hey, I’m a Kosterian at heart, and I thought it was freaking awesome.
Planetside - I like shooting things. FPSes used to be my “thing” and I spent a LOT of time playing Team Fortress Classic online. The game was rough to play on less than a top-of-the-line machine (much like EQ2 and SWG) but being able to actually arrange an Outfit, a Squad and getting XP for leading was a huge draw for me.
Matrix Online - Okay seriously, stop laughing. The martial arts moves look great and being able to leap from building to building is fun. If you nerd out to the IP, it’s fun.
Now I’m being very optimistic, but then again I usually am about MMOs. That’s a rant for another time though. I’m gonna go play my froglok now.
