Ruzan's MMO Plight Well, call me officially confused, or frustrated, or completley lost because at the moment, for the first time in a long time, I am not devoted to any mmo's. My mmo history consists of:
Started Anarchy Online in early 2002, was involved with the community and was a member of two very memorable guilds. MI-R2 (all agent guild) and Conquistador Coffee, Inc. Played off and on for a few years.
Star Wars Galaxies: A buddy of mine (nvitrius, [dave]) introduced me to SWG when it came out and I instantly fell in love. All the options and customization, fantastic game, I played that off and on and started my journey into the Village to unlock jedi when the NGE came out.
World of Warcraft: I have played wow off and on for several years, I have leveled 2 characters to 70 and a few to 60, whilst having dozens of alts. As lame as it sounds, player housing or instanced guild halls really keep me from loving wow.
I have dabbled with FFXI (I dont speak korean, didn't get far in that game), COH/COV (good games but lack depth),.
I missed out on EQ and Lineage.
Basically my plight is this, I've played mmo's for years and I now for once find myself in a rut. Nothing is really pulling me in. I reactivated my swg sub over the weekend, logged in and checked on my house, all was still in order, then I attempted to try combat. Man, SOE really fucked that game up :( I wish they would realize if they would release a Pre-CU or even a CU server, their subs would go up like they haven't seen before.
I still have 2 months left on my wow subscription, but I can't bring myself to log in. I just don't want to.
I really, really miss Anarchy Online. That game has the absolute best community of any mmo I have played. I have to be honest in saying that when shadowlands came out, the game changed for me alot. There was something special about 60+ people showing up to kill mercs, or tara. Server-wide raid bots that were point based on who showed up. (Thanks again snow and all the rest who managed Mercbot all those years). Fantastic times man.
AO has always been rough for me, my 'main' is a Solitus Enforcer, Ruzan, I've never really compared to other tanks, and therefore just kind-of float my way through teams and missions hoping the team doesnt kick me for sucking. I might re-activate and see if I can't relive some of those memories.

Too many friends I'll never see again. Maybe it's time for me to move on.

You deserve a comment.
AO still has magical MMO memories for me as well. For being a simulation the world and people in it sure triggered real enough memories and emotions, as if that world was an extension of our own.
I still remember a lot of names and people from there, and often think of going back.
I hear there is a big graphics overhaul in the works.
I did the WoW thing for a few months as well, but lost the time to play it.
I've been waiting for another sci-fi mmo to show up to take AO's place, but they never compare or are just cheap junk pumped out of Korean sweat shops.
I was actually in Indiana for a few hours a couple of weeks ago and remembered you lived around there.
I'm playing EVE right now, I'm finally getting over the learning curve and joined up in a solid corporation. The game's definitely not for everyone.
Good Times and Good Memories
