While waiting for CBT2

[emmanuel]

Hi all,

I was wondering about what other MMORPG were you playing while waiting for the next stage of the closed beta ?

I m playing EvE Online and Lord Of The Rings Online. For those that may be interested by EvE Online, there is a 14 days free trial to test it.

I ll post some pics of my character a bit later ^^

I am playing nothing. Spending all day watching Khan Academy videos and studying for finals, and also making pages on the wiki when I get distracted. Plus a ton of being distracted by the Einsof and the AoW forums, and a little bit of being distracted by mangafox and animetake updates. Hm, yea, too much being distracted already, I won't pass this semester if I pick up a game this point in time lmao XDDD

Hehe good luck for your finals Kono 

And here are some pics :

Yes it is. It's quite an old game (released in 2003) but it had many extensions since its release and it has been upgraded a lot years after years on every aspects. It's a VERY smart game. BTW this is the 1st game that introduced a skill progression system based on real time. And it's a sandbox MMORPG, not a theme park.

People that may be interested by a Sci-Fi MMORPG should try it with the 14 days free trial. And i can help beginners which is a good thing when starting on this game ^^

Well i am playing torchlight II atm hehe

[emmanuel]

I also have it but i don't play it a lot ^^

[Konoka]

what exactly does 'sandbox' mean?  and what's 'theme park'?  i've heard of the former, but never the latter ......

[emmanuel]

Well a theme park is a MMORPG "on trails" where you ll have a storyline to follow. For exemple, WOW is a theme park MMORPG. You have to go to certain places to XP according to your level. The sandbox type is the opposite of a theme park. You are free to progress as you wish and do whatever you want whenever you want.
