Online games

[Tuolumne]

Ok, I've seen reference from both Timmain and Harlock about PC games they've played and now I'm curious. Who here has played online computer games and what were/are your characters?

I'll 'fess up. I just recently quit, but I have a 67 rogue in Everquest. What about you guys?

Anyone? C'mon, I know I'm not alone here...

 

[Harlock]

I played Gemstone 3 and 4 online. It's a MUD. I'm not into flashy graphics. I liked the text-based game because it forces people into a more roleplay mentality, I always felt.

Ah, cool. I tried a MUD once, but I'm not quite computer literate enough and felt stupid, LOL...I need the graphics. I get lost enough in virtual worlds where I can see where I'm going, much less try to figure it out from text alone.

 

[Harlock]

Well, I quit because they were raising their prices and wanted to cash in on my characters. It was around Christmas time and my wife's birthday too, so I was able to give some nice gifts off of the $350 bucks I made, and also save some for my 29 gallon planted tank.

I played Everquest for 2 or 3 years. Highest I ever got was a 55 Shaman. I could never keep up with any of my friends due to always having a job. I quit a little over a year ago. I hated paying the money every month and I got bored with it. I also noticed that it was getting harder and harder to be able to see my feet. I only gained about 100 pounds from the time I started playing to the time I quit. Lost 80 of those in the last year so I'm glad I quit. I've thought about playing World of Warcraft but I have a "fat" picture of myself on the fridge to remind me everytime I think about it.

I play Counter Strike Source frequently, and have also played Joint Operations, America's Army, Half Life 2 Death Match, and RTCW Enemy Territory.

I play the odd game of the Battlefield mod Forgotten hope. It's fun

I play Quake 2 on Gamespy when I get the chance between water changes and my other hobbies....

 

[Tuolumne]

I haven't played any of those other games listed but I've briefly tried Ultima Online, Anarchy Online, EQ2, SWG and Dark Age of Camelot. I liked EQ2 until I got into my 20's then it just became work and I quit. I haven't really found any other games that I like...oh well. It was nice having an indoor hobby for the long winters of Minnesota, but I guess I'll have to find something else for next year, unless a new game comes out. (I'm thinking of taking up snowshoeing, but that will really depend on how motivated I can be when it's less than 20 degrees outside. Motivation really tends to take a nosedive at that point, hehe...)

Oh, and that's too funny Damien. I know exactly what you mean, too! Good idea w/ the picture on the fridge, LOL!

Well, thanks for sharing, everyone!
