MMORPG King of the Hill

Posted by Zonk on from the knock-the-other-guy-down-first dept.

eToyChest has a look at some current MMOG market leaders, and specifically takes a look at what they're 'good' at. If you've been thinking about playing an online game, this might be a useful tool to help pick the one game you'll enjoy most. From the article: "MMORPGs have evolved rapidly in terms of technology and gameplay, and with the continually growing number of gamers being pulled into these games, more and more titles have been shoveled onto retail shelves in order to keep up with the demand. Despite the fact that there isn't any one clear front-runner in the genre currently, the diversity and variety in MMORPGs today (both in the games available now and in the months to come) give many more options to most any gamer. However, here we will discuss those games that serve as the premier offerings for gamers today, as well as those set to be released in the near future, and we'll identify why these games are the Kings of the Hill."

      It could be worse. You could be camping for spawns at Narrow Urethra Passage.

      Can I interest you in this propane-powered +5 Sword of Flame? There's nothing like cooking monsters with clean-burning propane, you know.

    Not long after AO came Star Wars Galaxies. Sadly the Star Wars part of the title was really the only great thing about the game, though it has since improved beyond its lackluster beginnings.

    Looks like somebody finally liked the NGE!

    don't forget to bring your GPS device and cellphone.

    It can get kind of busy with 50,000 players all trying to run up a hill randomly selected around the world.

    Plus, make sure your credit cards have enough left on them to buy a round trip ticket.

    Blizzard is also a well liked company by the players of their other games.

    It's also a well-hated company by the players of their other games.
