• • Free Trial Version Was Terrible

  • I dunno.

    I also tried WoW's free trial and that worked as well as one could expect. No tweaking needed.

    Obviously, I ended up going with WoW. Since I could, you know, actually play it. LOL.

• • Free Trial Version Was Terrible

  • I recently took a looong time to download the free trial version of DDO, and was psyched to try it out.

    However, I could not have been more disappointed. My computer far exceeded the minimum requirements, FiOS connection, but the game was unplayably choppy.

    Is this just a problem with the Trial Version? Or is it a very, very laggy game?

    It's too late for me, as I'll never play it again (which is sad, as I am a long time Pen and Paper D&D player). But I'm curious if they were just a bit on the incompetent side of things over there.

• • I tried, I really did.

  • Why didn't you just use your old account?

    Why start over?

    I'm sure if I started over from scratch, I'd probably get a bit down, too.

    Actually, that's not true. I have a bunch of noob accounts as well. Those early levels always seem to be the most fun.

    Oh, and a word of advice: stay out of F2P. It's all grievers and complainers.

• • Runescape sucks, DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME!

  •  I've never really understood a lot of these complaints.

    It requires a long time to get to level 99 in most skills. OK, fair enough. But there's no reason you have to grind all the way to 99 in any skill. You really only need about 1/4 of the XP required to get 99 (about level 85) to be able to do almost everything in Runescape. 

    Plus, Runescape has been around for 6 years, and will be around I'm sure for 6 more. You have years to get 99. What's the rush?

    I'm guessing you want it all right now.

    There are definitely a lot of less-than-mature players. Ignore them. You have an ignore list. I don't know how I manage to play and avoid all these people you seem to encounter.

    I've never, ever had to make use of Customer Support in the 3 years I've played. Then again, I've never been banned or muted for breaking the rules. Nor have I felt the need to complain "when's the Wildy coming back".

    I'm just curious why it seems so many of you just hang around here and grieve that Runescape isn't everything you want in a MMORPG. 

    Find one that is what you want. Move on, and be positive. Dwelling in this negativity can't be good for your karma.
