I work with computers all day long. The last thing I want to do is stay up half the night playing online games. but back in the day I use to love playing Decent and Duke Nukem
They are the destroyers of real life ;p MMORPG = Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Game I actually play WoW, thank God my wife monitors my usage and only lets me raid 3 nights a week
lmao... your wife monitors your usage? AND only LETS you play... So the other 4 nights a week she takes your balls out of her purse for your use. :jester: Sorry I couldn't resist...I don't monitor hubby's X-box usage. I could only imagine what would happen if I even tried. :mrgreen: Oh and thanks for the definition... is Ages of Empires one? Hubby use to play that one b/f the X-box days. :neutral:
Funny this topic came up...i started back on Gemstone the night before last to see if i wanted them to get my old character out of mothballs and restore him so i created a newbie and running him around. Funny that i still know most of the main town layout after 6+ years. Decided last night that i will get my old guy back again and bring the legend back to the game. Lord Mustafo Nothumb rides again!
meh, raiding is a 5-hr sit-down, so keeping me honest and spending time w/the wife and kids is essential so I don't mind (wow is like crack for some) limiting my raiding to 3 nights a week. I tend to play daily but nights I'm not raiding I limit my time to after 11pm. Also, to correct your comment, I get my balls 3 nights a week, she gets them the other 4! As for AoE, I believe that is a simulation, not an online interactive game. WoW, prior to the last expansion used to require 40 people from around to world to get together all at the same time to kill bosses (hence the multi-player online aspect of mmo). The current version has reduced the end-game raid content to just 25 players at once but there are what's know as world bosses that still requires 40 people to work together to win the fight.
I tried both ... but being old fashioned, I preferred a unix shell or straight telnet client. I'm still thinking about DL'ing a secure telnet client and hopping on one of the games I know that's still around ... temptation to revisit the olden days ... *grin*
Oh good...someone who remembers the old school stuff. I used to play Swords of Chaos on a few BBSes. I didn't like Tele-Arena much, but knew the creator of it. My ex and a few friends of his were heavily into TradeWars (I THINK that's the name).
