just wanted to see how geeky this community really is.. how many here play world of warcraft? (I do ;) ) http://www.puzzleframework.com
At the game developers conference I was happy to not be involved in one WOW conversation. Now that I am back at BioWare, every morning in the lunch room there is a conversation about some raid somewhere dropping something. :/ Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

I can't see what is the attraction in wow. Some of my friends play it WHENEVER they have free time. I watched them play, and saw this: Walk around beating things up at a lower level than yourself so that you can gain more levels. Walk around avoiding being beaten up by people at a higher level. Everyone wants to be the strongest. (DBZ here we come) What happens when your at the strongest level? I dont know but I guess no-one will want to take you on, you'll have nobody to play with. I would like to give it a try and prove myself wrong, unfortunately I don't have broadband at home.
The more scary thing is, you can pay a "company" (usually based in India or China) to play for you to get you to a specific level (e.g. 34). So I don't think that anyone will ever get to be the strongest for too long :) "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

I don't. I never have. I used to play AoE2, but I don't have a PC anymore. :( Cheers, Vikram.

It's supposed to be hard, otherwise anybody could do it!

Real geeks would be hacking it to find all the exploits and cheats. I read web comics and play with Blender in the little spare time I have.

Never played it. I have played FFXI, got addicted, got bored, almost deleted my account, but by then I met some online friends (well one) that make me keep my account. Of course, I've considered deleting my account and just using good ol' email. The only two bad things about those games are it's really repetitive and the people are extra dorky (like they've never seen a real girl before). I can't stand conversing with most of them.

Even for me that sort of thing is too geeky;P I prefer my online gaiming to have a bit more instant impact. My current favourite is MTA-SA, a free (3rd party) addon for GTA San Andreas.

I still remember two kids at the computer store at the time when Civ II was the hype, obviously trying to spend some christmas money. One of them, holding up a Civilization (as in Civ I back when the I wasn't needed) shouted "look - Civ for only 10!!" The other coming up to him, both studying the box to understand their insane luck. After looking at the screenshots at the back, one proclaimed: "no, that looks forged" I felt old that day.

I don't, haven't tried it. My wife and I play Age of Mythology online almost every night though...and unlike WOW, there's no monthly fee. :cool:

There's an online version? I have that game somewhere around here. Do I need an update to it, or did I just miss the very big "online" button? :laugh: Jeremy Falcon

OMG the graphics were SO poor on Civilisation, but the gameplay so great. Not since Elite on the BBC had I been so fixated by a game, and although I never played the flopped CivII, I can say that CivIII and now CivIV ive loved.
I really loved the nuke sound effect on my old Soundblaster 8-bit. :)

It's called "checking out the competition" ;)

Err, I meant multiplayer; I play the game online, as opposed to offline single player.

Isn't it odd that there are II, III, IV, ... XI version? You would think that the Final Fantasy really is final. :rolleyes:

I used to play. I have a level 60 undead priest and all of the epics you can get on him. I am currently trying to sell him for $150 US even though it is worth more; no one is wanting to buy. Brett A. Whittington Application Developer

I played Everquest for several years (99-03 regularly, a couple of brief revivals in '04 and '05). It easily ranks as my favorite video game of all time. The biggest reason I stopped playing is because I had a kid, and just couldn't justify the timesink. I've considered getting WoW because I've heard that you can play in shorter bursts than EQ realistically required. But I fear that the special EQ feeling will never be recaptured, even by EQ. I do have several old guildies in WoW though...
