Guys,
I have never ever tried a MMORPG, but stuck to my latest copy of a PC mag was a free months trial for Everquest.
Sorry to appear a bit dim, but is it a bit like playing Morrowind or Gothic, but all the Avatars / Characters are controlled by real people?
Im trying to get my head around the concept.
So, if I get a quest, then dont finish it and maybe not log on again for ages, will things have moved on etc.....?
Maybe Ill give it a go over the xmas hols anyway..
Regards,
Hexmaster

It's not exactly like Morrowind, because it's nearly impossible to integrate a storyline as in a single-player game into a MMORPG. Quests stay open if you don't log on for months...
The fun thing is, you can do most of the things you do in single-player games but now with (or against) real players! The only drawback i see is the fact that most of the times it comes down to: fight, lvl, fight, lvl, new armor, new weapons, fight, lvl, fight....rinse and repeat...
But still, it's addictive as hell!

You could also try out A Tale in the Desert. It has a different concept than most MMORPGs. They'll be running a beta session today so you can hop in for free and see what it's like.

I had to uninstal that thing ( I mean tale in the desert ) I started playing about 4 weeks a go at 4 pm and sudently I realised that it was 11 pm I uninstaled it after that. I just think that MMorpgs are really dangerous.  |

I'm just grateful it's in beta and not on-going or I'd never leave my room!

When I began to play the program wrote that I should look for a mentor or something like that, and there you can type in a name, I wrote Val but it showed that the player is not loged on. Is that your nickname there? |

Good I didn't find you, as far as I remember I would be teleported to the place where you were. And that would be probably your torture chamber  |

If by "torture chamber" you mean the Sandy Beach Resort, then you are correct.

Actually the Sandy Beach Resort was something Sauron, Val, Gig, and I came up with in the Non-Flamers Guild; so we named the atitd guild after the one here. |
