myou066's Blogs

Alas, I have come to the time where I feel compelled to seek another go at a MMORPG. I have played to some extent ranging from 6 months to 6 hours: WOW, Tabula Rasa, Guild Wars, Eve Online, Warhammer Online and even those really odd ones like Ragnorok and Maple Story..

What I really want to ask is that is there a gamer who actually has the time to play MMO games to the depth required to really give an educated assumption? I mean there are so many of these out now and judging by the obscenely high subscriber count for WOW shown above I just don't know which other is really worth my hard earn dollars every month.

You may think I am in idiot which I wouldn't actually argue with but man.... How do you choose? Or should I go out and buy those other games that do not need to be played online (list is the new Colonisation or Settler's, both $50 so not too bad). I can spend ages playing these types of games but I also want the community feeling of belonging once I am a full time dole bludger sipping beers in front of my comp with a singlet and wife beaters...

I was planning early January once I have handed in my thesis and spent whats left of my money to go on holiday and come back and be a bum for a while, I mean I surely deserve a break for a couple of months atleast after ploughing 5 years of my youth into a masters degree that may or may not get me a job hah. I just really need to get this urge out of my system to play games, watch movies and generally bulge out into the typical hardcore l33t gamer stereotype while I can.

As you can kind of tell, this blog has no real apparent function or goal except you my dear reader giving me:

a) Some very good sound advice in what is hot and what is not

b) Money to subsidise my lard arse ways (electronic transfers ok)

c) Free games you have finished playing on a PC

d) A PS3 or xbox360 for free/cheap

e) A combination of the above

To be honest, some say play less games and you will enjoy it more but hell, I haven't played anything in the last 2 to 3 months. I could always go treasure hunting and find my old BF2 dvds and play with 12 year old kids and the rest of the people like me who are behind the times antisocial types.

Blah, this post is for the sole purpose of procrastination so don't get all righteous and tell me to get a job or flame me coz I drop it like its hot.
