Right you monkeys.
I want an online game.
I want it to be playable when I'm drunk / hungover / Don't fancy twitch gaming. Basically no fast action. Counter strike / Hl2 : Dm are great, but impossible to play well whilst refreshed.
I don't want monthly fees.
I don't want an RTS.
Looking ideally for a MMORPG, but free (after initial purchase?) or something slightly different. I remember a sort of rts where you build stuff on floating island a la Project Nomads. Can't remember what it was called though. [edit] found it. Time Of Defiance. [edit2] Pah....Monthly fees............
What's out there?

D'oh looks quite good, can't connect to the servers through the Uni firewall though, dammit.
How do they fund the servers to keep that running anyway?

Heh, ripped Ultima 7 graphics. Cool.
I'll give it a try. Cheers. Premium areas though, but lets have a look at the basics. :)

Nah, couldn't download and try it out until I got home. It's Alpha, so buggy as hell, a bit empty and slow, but it might evolve into something quite good. I for one am going to keep an eye on it.
Still doesn't solve my slower paced gaming problem though.........

Apparently it's so good, Pandaemonium has yet to find time to post how great it is :-)

I found the guild wars BETA to be allot more accessible than the usual MMORPG. I loved the co-op angle of teaming up with groups of other people and going on side quest. It can get repetitive, but from what I played, it seems to avoid the long skill grinding of many MMORPG's. Not out till next year though.
One game I really would recommend if Red Orchestra. It's a WW2 mod for UT2004, but it's heavy emphasis on realism (no crosshair for example) means a far more tactical game. The maps are excellent as well, especially one which sees a desperate battle through a huge trench system. One of my favourite mods, and free too.

Played the Beta a few weeks back. Was quite good - very nice looking and loads of people, but it (like any MMORPG thing) I guess would take a while to get into.
