Everything is a rip off. WoW was a complete rip off of EQ, where they just made it 100x easier so anybody could play. EQ was a rip off of Ultima Online to some The whole genre is getting so played out - but who knows, somebody may come in and just do the same thing that the others did in the past - rip off the fun aspects and ideas of the previous king, and add things to make it more user friendly. qft QUOTE levels are not needed. like you said, youve never played uo. that game had no levels. it was all based on skill points Same concept and the same thing, just no actual levels. In most games you have to gain experience or "skill points" to obtain a new level. -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

EQ had an action bar, but it was on the side and not the bottom.
Hell, most of these MMORPGs are D&D knock-offs. |

what's kind of ironic imo is that the D&D mmo game isn't doing all that great right now

i never played any of the pen & paper games, but well yeah duh i'd assume the video game would be much less involved, kinda like how movies tend to not be as intensive as their book counterparts. the book leaves the visual to the imagination

I found D&D immensley boring the few times I played, no offense brandon. I guess I would prefer to have a computer add/subtract hit points, add experience, tally skills... blah blah etc etc

I'd also argue that there are definitely a lot of computer games out there with a good plot/lore to them.
