Bat Country Assault: What MMO Should We Invade?

[CmdrSlack]

You guys could always go play one of the user-developed games in Second Life, heh.

That'd be hilarious, if only to read teh reactions on teh forums the next day.

No. Why? No.

I get to be the fairy.

Wait, are they all fairies? WHY DO THEY HAVE SWORDS?

What's with the big head feathers?

THE WEB SITE IS SO BLUE

*meltdown*

EDIT:

I love the classes - Swordman, Bladesman, Spearman, Bowman. Oh, and Healer.

Can't get much better then that.

[Strazos]

Original EQ? Eh...I dunno.

Like last year or so I was able to log in for some reason. I had my 65 rogue sitting in Northern Ro. I went to backstab a lvl 1 rat. Not only did I not ASSASSINATE it for 30000 damage, but I only, somehow, hit for about 120. Where's my 1000+ backstab hits?

Also, the new UI in there made no sense at all.

[Surlyboi]

Yeah...no.

[Flood]

Blockland.
We set a time.  Someone with good system runs a server.  We all log in to it and teamspeak.  For a couple hours, we chit-chat and build stuff.  Nothing to buy.

My top vote.

Although if people were actually playing and staying with it I'd go AC, Eve, EQ1, AA, even PS.  And what's the matter no one mentioned AO while we were tossing old junk around?

[Signe]

How about THIS?   It's from Argentina and looks unhealthy.  I've never played anything from Argentina.  Don't cry for me.  It has a "glorious graphical environments", too.  It said so.

[Surlyboi]

Regnum? Damn near killed 'um.  :-D

[Lantyssa]

Odd timing.  At the suggestion of the roomie, I finally tried Planetside yesterday.  NC on Emerald.  Vanu on the other two, right now, but likely Markov will become a Terran or go unplayed.

I did see a Schild pass by while a bunch of us were filling several galaxies.  I figured it would be too weird a coincidence to be our Schildy though.

The reserves program is still in place.

[Jayce]

I find that Planetside is good for a couple weeks or even up to two months, then it stops being fun. Six months later, it's fun again, as fun as if you never played it.

[Azazel]

Voyage Century.

It's Sid Meier's Pirates! meets EVE. And it's good. Seriously.

It it free?
edit - ooh, the FAQ is in Engrish!

Q: My Graphics Card used in the Mainboard is compositive, can I circulate the game... 
A: Some advanced compositive Graphics Card supports to circulate the game, however, most compositive Graphics Card’s function is weak and doesn’t support to circulate the game. If you circulate the game constrainedly, there may be some errors and result in losing connection or shutting down Client. So, it is suggested that to change a suitable Graphics Card.

As for EQ. Meh, If I played EQ again I'd sub and play with my old guildies. Not that any of you care. Besides, I thought you hate dikugrind?


What exactly is the Planetside Reserves thing anyway? Because, you know, their fucking webpage doesn't tell you what it is besides "DOWNLAOD NOW!" and their FAQ link goes to the Planetside news archives, which is kinda useless unless you want to search.

I do have a GW account though.

[bhodi]

It's like, free for a period except you can't get past mid levels. Of course, levels in that game mean you unlock more stuff, not that you're stronger or have more HP. I think it gives you enough to do one thing, but you can't swap out from say tanker to stealther or whatever.

[Azazel]

Planetside, right?

I had an account there once. Can you reserve if you've had an account there? Or is it only for new players? My thoughts on the game back then were that it would have actually been ok for free, but not worth a subscription fee.

I like the way they have no FAQ or information on it. Awesome.

[Lantyssa]

The roomie is playing on a real account, free as far as we know, and continuing to level.

[Stephen Zepp]

If we do decide on planetside, I have a highly qualified gal pilot at our beck and call (remember, i was a real life low level pilot, so get your sick bags out!).

Some of the most fun in Planetside was a coordinated gal drop on an unsuspecting tower or base :)

West coast server (can't remember name)/NC , and of course I can always create a newbie if we pick a diff server/faction.

My play time is -very- limited however, would hve to be friday or sun nights for me.

[Cheddar]

Planetside it is.  I will make a new post about it; I recommend we invade the UO sub forums for our discussion. 

INVASION COMPLETE!

Someone who knows something about PS please create a noob help thread. 

Neocron is on the backburner until the new expansion; until the billing system is fixed I will not encourage people to go there (should be fixed with new expansion roll out).  EQ is on deck for possible future invasion, depending on how well this lil' experiment does.

[Signe]

I think I'll wait for the next invasion.   

[Evangolis]

What is the location of this invasion?

[Endie]

What is the location of this invasion?

The details are in the UO forum post Cheddar mentions.

[Sky]

Planetside....fuck yeah!

f13 is coming to save the motherfuckin' war, yeah!

[tazelbain]

Well since it's no cost, I am in.  All patched up and ready to play this evening.

[Viin]

I think I have my original box (from launch day) and the strat guide laying around here somewhere..

I'll be setting up later tonight to start patching, so hopefully will be on late.

[Hoax]

Downloaded and patched, what is the ts address again and what time should I expect people to show up?

[Evangolis]

Three hours of patching, 30 minutes to go.  Any suggestions for building a decent reserves character?  Probably my best work in PvP was as a scout in SB, if that helps give direction.

[Surlyboi]

You may want to run the stealther/haxor route then, Ev.

How good are you with vehicles?

[shiznitz]

If you are just going to F-around in PS, have everyone take Armor 2 and Engy and just rotate the tank driver. I highly encourage Emerald since Markov is mostly dead in comparison.

[Endie]

Maybe the *next* game should be Dungeon Runners.  It's going to be free to play, of course, or $4.99 for premium (which is around two packs of chewing gum per month, for those paid in real, non-Bushwacked currencies), and is moving towards a skill-based, instead of class-based advancement system: 

We’re moving toward a classless system if compared to traditional RPG standards. Our March/April update will contain this change. Essentially, you’ll be able to create your own class through the skills that you equip and the items that you use.

[tazelbain]

DR isn't worth free

[Nija]

I've totally skipped Dungeon Runners, so I'll be up for trying it out after that classless patch happens. Make the thread when it comes out.

[Evangolis]

You may want to run the stealther/haxor route then, Ev.

How good are you with vehicles?

Better than I am with guns, based on three hours today.  Although I did get a couple kills, I think, mostly guys facing west while I was on the east. 

Gonna track this stuff in the Newbie advice thread.

[Cheddar]

They key with this idea is to have a fun time.  Shitty shitty shitty shit shit shit games like DR can suck my left nut.  It is not an option.  Be realistic, assholes.
