I must confess
Lately, I've been away on the weekends to stay with some friends of mine. Sadly i must confess I've committed...*gasp* a sin! When over there, they have City of Heroes / City of Villains mmorpg. Many many maaaaany of you have heard my rant on how much i have a distaste for those style games. But i've gave those particular two or one..how every you wanna see it a try....and liked it.
Mostly though, I'm loving how many thousands of style of character looks you can make on it!. its like playing with really high tech geek dolls *giggles* Seriously, anyone who hasn't heard of those games look em up, they are fairly neat peoples, and thats alot coming from me.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to buy the games, pay the (I think its 15 bucks a month for subscription service) and vanish, but still...nifty games.
and now I said my peace and went to the RPG confessional.
*bows and exits*

Massive Multi-player Online Role Playing Games for those who don't know that acronym.
All the MMOs seem fun, but they consume far too much time.
I'll stick with games that I can get in, play for X amount of time, and then get back out of the game.
But to each his own.

Not any more than any other game. You just have to log out.Period. They don't control your mind.You just have to be strong enough to set the gane down just like any other game and go do what you need to, be it eat, bathe or go to work. and everything will be there when you get back.

my most favorite part of the whole dang thing was playing with the character creator. designing the character was the best part of the thing. game play was good but .... im no hack and slash person. But getting to toy with down to mundane details like "If i put a metal pauldron over his shoulder, what color should the metal reflect?" or maybe "If i put this outfit on, what over laying design should it have? granted you cant change eye color from the face set, but you can tool with slidders to adjust your head size. you can be as tall as 8'4" (male) and 8ft(females all the way to 4'4" (male) and 4'4 (female) ....then you get to sliders again to pick just how skinny,fat, hip size, waist size..leg length...yadayada....you get the point but that was the best part!

WoW is nice, though I believe the X packs killed it for me, I have four 70th level characters, been through every instance. Personally I liked it better with a 60 max and the old instances. Since I have stopped playing, I am in search for another game that is just as entertaining, City of H&V was not to bad. Though not the same as WoW. I am hoping the new Starcraft 2 coming out will be very good.
One day I hope they make a MMORPG for D&D, different expansions for different realms and rules, that sort of thing.

They did i thought? its been shown on the official DnD website quiet a while back. In fact i remember them having a free trial for it when it first debuted.
also, from what ive heard, Marvel is coming out with there own mmorpg, created by the company who did City of Heroes/Villains. LOtR has a mmorpg out as well.
Honestly though, dont really care about them myself. not the biggest fan in the world of games like that. Sure, there good for some people but i dont care for them. I havent liked them since Evercrack oops i mean Everquest.

They did indeed make a D&D MMO, called Dungeons and Dragons Online, or DDO for short. I played it for a few months, maybe, but they've made a -lot- of changes since then. It was definitely amusing, but not my cup of tea; you ended up being forced into making your characters too cookie cutter for my tastes.
Eve Online is what I play now...Amusing game, far more...Immersive? Iuno. Worth looking into, definitely.

i think the Paper Doll term is a wide spread MMORPG thing because anyone i know who plays those kind of games refers to it as a Paper Doll. whats cool yet sad. COH/COV released in Korea recently and with it came a promotional deal where you get a extra disk that just as the paper doll program on it.
Anywhere online i looked where you could download it said they had to take it off line because of the company getting on there case about it. Sucks but true

ok, just so i can tease the WOW players. COH/COV for the halloween event have this neat thing where you go trick or treating. you got up to doors and either get a treat (temporary powers or costumes for your character) or a trick (a random battle with either zombies, werewolves, witches, vampires or ghosts)
now come on, thats just funny. *knock knock* "hi im a villain who robs banks, can i have candy?"
