Where is the best place to start out On-Line Gameing?

For myself... I was wondering what the best MMOLG's are...

Equally... for 'normal' on-line game... Quake, UT, etc... where is the best place for beginners to go? So as not to get too slaughtered by older gamers?

To be honest mate there arent any "newbie servers" or whatever, with FPS anyway. You just kind of have to get in there and grit your teeth and play.

To start off with, chances are you'll end up at the bottom of the table, but after a while you'll slowly find yourself moving up.

Also, dont think that if you can beat the bots offline you can bea people just as easilt online, people are lot more unpredictable and so a lot harder to kill.

Last point, if you are going to get Q3A for the DC, buy a keyboard and mouse as well cos that is the ONLY combination to play with, it may take a few days to get used to, but it is SO much better!

I'm loking forward to WWP too! But on DC probably. UT on PS2 is not very good :( Quake 3 Arena Dreamcast is amazing online and off - get that.

Hmmmmm well, how bout online chess?

Nah only joking! Erm well I started out mainly on Worms. The turn based style of the game gives you time to think before you make you next move and sometimes the results can be really whacky!

Worms World Party on the PC should be out very soon and I am looking forward to more classic Worms gameplay!

So I reccomend you start with Worms World Party!
