Lioslinn,I've played every major MMO. Favorites were Vanguard (so many great ideas, so little dev time...) , SWG (used to have a guild roaming cantinas around the galaxy, spewing out bad poetry on stage for /tips, good times), LOTRO (solid game) and lately my new crush, the secret world. Amazing game if you like modern day setting, and/or the world of darkness (white wolf RP setting), more mature setting, great story, no levels or classes and quests where you have to *gasp* think!
when my 3 year old son asks me to see 'mommy's lizard' (ie my argonian in ESO) I feel a strange pride. OK he'll probably grow up to be embarrassed by his geek parents but for now he finds it cool so I'm enjoying it while it lasts
(I stay in cities and don't show him fights! I don't think young kids should play too many video games but that's a topic for another day!)
I'll definitely join one of the guilds listed here
Vanguard was so cool. I never even knew it existed until it recently was resurrected on Steam. Now I hear that that Sony is shutting it down again (Free Realms, too) which I think is a shame. I was looking forward to one day sailing the seas on my own ship. I liked the crafting in that game, too.
I'm putting The Secret World on my list to try. Long ago, I played a text MMORPG based on the modern world, called Modus Operandi, and it was the coolest thing ever just because the modern setting it was so different from what I was used to.
[edited to add] I just saw that The Secret World was written by Ragnar Tørnquist, the genius behind The Longest Journey. That's ALL I need to know right there.Edited by Sue_D_Nim on April 17, 2014 7:26AM"If danger doesn't find her, she'll seek it out and invite it home to dinner." ~ Prince Naemon

Woogawoman✭✭✭I loved the zork games. Mind bending puzzles that we'd spend hours figuring out. Hearing 'your lamp has run out' makes me twitch.
Ah! So many great memories from those old text games! I wonder if there's already an alt out there name 'Xyzzy' ?

I am adding The Secret World to my game list; it sounds great (and you listed some of my other all time favourites, particularly the Fallout series!) I got a kick out of the 'deathclaw' on Bleak Rock Isle, speaking of Fallout. The man crying because someone stole his sweet roll was also a nice little moment, poor fellow!

robynheraty_ESO✭✭✭Just about to turn 64, and I play ESO with my husband and my 30 year old daughter. All three of us have been serious gamers for a good many years and I'm sitting here next to an original Commodore 64, complete w/ several hundred games and a Commodore monitor from 1984.6 -

Zubba✭✭✭I remember playing Americas Army back in 2001 or something. We had a player in our squad who was around 60 years old. Was an old Vietnam vet sniper. Now he was rare!

49 and will be playing until I drop dead. You be surprised at the number of older players in mmo's. I have had a whole guild of 200 plus of over 35's and the kiddies were in the extreme minorities. I have had a player way into his eighties so old players are not a small minority. A fact that a lot of these gaming studios should recognise to their advantage.
It's good to get together and beat up those "punk" kids about the place with your old toon

jimredtalon✭✭✭Hey just thought I would come back to this thread to see if I can get a little help from those that might remember things back in Evercrack. I have noticed for some time that people feel the need to pressure Zeni into making a auction house. I think this may be good gut it would be far better to try and use an old solution to a very similar problem. So if its not too much to ask could you guys help me in bringing the community back to being constructive and helpful by reinstating the EQ player market. Check the link in my signature bellow for the thread were I have posted my idea.A solution to all your Auction House Woes.2 -

We apparently have geriatrics in their twenties.

Meh, kids and their new toys@Killum - I remember The Hobbit and I remember getting terribly frustrated with it. The "N, N, E, N, W, S, W, N, N" etc. etc. of the Goblin's cave. It was dark with no light and if you got ONE direction wrong, you died! Lol - if I remember rightly..... .. that was copied from one of the original 'adventure' games, Adventure and/or Dungeon, the former was where XYZZY and PLUGH came from while the latter was cut into two and became Zork I and Zork II.

I'm 60, started playing 'computer' games on mainframes back in the late 70s .. hence my knowledge of Adventure and Dungeon I noted above and other early classics like Startrek on Univac 1100 mainframes .. and then on machines like Apple IIe, Exidy Sorceer, Amiga 1000, etc.I'm 26 but this thread gives me the inspiration to hope to be like you veterans and game on till forever. I salute you.
Point is, I can still remember vividly playing Fairie Tale Adventure on the Amiga, or all the Infocom games on the Apple etc. some 30-35 years later. Probably says many sad things about me. Edited by KerinKor on April 17, 2014 2:44PM1 -

This one still young compared to Censorious, but one must realize, being in 30's (human years) these days what teenager call us. That's why Khajiit would like to join "old" folks.
