Thinking about a new MMO

[acefisher1]

Yep, the title says it.

I finally found a little bit of work and i'm debating on a new MMO. I'm currently am playing WOW again, but my sub is about to run out tomorrow and i'm not sure if I want to renew or try something else once I get paid.

So with that said, I'm interested in a couple, and i've seen a lot of posts, but nothing has really swayed a decision in any direction.

Aion

Champions

Back to one of my previous otherwise...

Age of Conan
Warhammer Online
WOW
Guild Wars (already playing that one again though)
LOTRO
Star Wars Galaxies

I'm not really too interested in returning to one of my pre-existing games though, I wanna try something new as I've been playing the same games for at least 6 months.

So i'm really interested in the first two, are either worth the purchase and will they hold my interest enough to keep paying, and why?

I think Aion will definitely be cool. And I LOVE Warhammer Online. Compared to WoW, I think it's a lot better.

give EVE online a chance. Learning curve is intense but its soooo worth it. About 1023^3.14 times better than wow, and a whole bunch more in depth than any other MMO. Actually takes skill to take win and make money. The is a way to make money for everyone, mining, PVP, PVE, Manufacturing, trading on the market. OH did i remember to say the market is 99% player ran. There is no XP grinding, skills points (xp) are gained in real time. Its all in one, large, real time sandbox, on a single super computer server thingy (mroe like a collection of mini servers (blades) one for each system). Your actions affect everyone else playing the game (20-50k)

i could go on... and on. If you join we have a in-game corporation full with experianced players that can help you learn and earn isk.

largest game ever, as far as actual space/distance goes. fallout was a couple square miles and praised as the biggest? naw, 1AU=93 million miles beat that

wow, well I appreciate the enthusiasm there slusser, but I did try the game, twice actually. I just can't stand space battles. And I didn't like the overall feel of the game. Just not for me. Thanks though!

Would help people suggest games if you help out with more specifics. Free download and pay to play? Free Download and to play? Purchase but free to play? Purchase and pay to play? What genre are you looking for? What not looking for?(besides space)

Also just a thought, playing MMO's require alot of time.(If they don't then your not finding a good one) 6 months is an okay amount of time to spead on one but when your running through 3+ every so often your going to run out of the "good ones". I played EverQuest for 8 years, and never got boring for me. You might know this already, but the idea is to find one you like and stay with it and not hop around. So, I would consider you still in your finding phase. By far the best ones will be the ones you have to pay for.

Well I didn't really bother specifying because I listed the games i'm looking into, and they are pay to play, so either would be fine, but free MMO's have a tendency to get lame fast (with a few exceptions as always).

And I don't know what to do if I'm still in my finding phase... I've played every MMO out except for Aion and Champions up to this point. I've been playing guild wars and WOW since beta, and that makes WOW nearly 6 years now. I've also been playing WAR since alpha... The only MMO's I haven't spent too much time in are City of Heroes/Villains and EVE. Mostly because I just didn't like the feel of the games and no amount of play was going to change the mechanics.

I guess i'm kind of stuck at this point other than trying out Aion or Champions though until Star Wars and GW2 come out, as i've played everything else to death and become burnt out for the most part. I was just hoping for someone to mention something great I hadn't heard of yet I guess.

Well you said you wana try something new and if you played games such as WoW and warhammer id suggest AION i personally never liked WoW but Aion is supposed to be a much better version of WoW, i personally would choose champions but thats just me

Gonna give Aion a try in the open beta this week and see what I think. If its good i'll probably pick up a copy.
