Maybe your kids will like them as well. ^^<br /><br />As for SWTOR gone F2P, the way they did it you're not really affected by the cash shop if you're subscribing. Only if you play it as F2P you'll have to fight your way through what unlocks you'll need and which not etc. There are no pay to win options unless you count subscribing as pay to win, but I don't think that's really fair since that was the only option to play the game originally. All the cartel market items are either unlocks for your character (only needed when F2P) or cosmetic equipment, which you can also buy on the GTN for in-game credits. <br /><br />I'm reasonably happy with the current solution, as it means I don't have to deal with the cartel market if I don't want to as a subscriber. It's heaven compared to LotRO, where you get the Store in your face all the time no matter the payment model you follow.Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-26904591240728516812015-04-28T18:35:20.143+02:002015-04-28T18:35:20.143+02:00Love Pokemon, I'll never grow out of that obse...Love Pokemon, I'll never grow out of that obsession. I don't think I ever played LotR online, but I loved SWTOR. I wish it hadn't gone FTP, because that often leads to pay to win, but it was one of the only other MMOs besides WoW that sucked me in.Corihttp://coricee.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-50045318094045770482015-04-28T11:54:10.381+02:002015-04-28T11:54:10.381+02:00The smuggler storyline is one of my favourites wha...The smuggler storyline is one of my favourites what with the plot twists and all.

Stories are coming along, I saw you dropped by today as well. I finally got some decent screenshots to make the background of the site look a little more Star Wars like. Now that BHW is over, I'm focusing on finishing Ch 3 of the Smuggler story. I was actually surprised when Rogun turned out to be on my side of things hahahah, gotta love the plot twists. In the mean time I am trying to make the story personalized for me while sort of following the game.

It's rather frustrating, actually! I've only *just* made it to level 20 now, and this will be my second week subscribed (and the character was level 13 when I reactivated...) <br /><br />I should go to bed earlier or something, but where's the fun in that? :P<br /><br />Nerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533048064483008231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-4469912113567825952015-04-27T13:29:45.779+02:002015-04-27T13:29:45.779+02:00I'm glad you liked it!

But I do enjoy all of the Total War series. I can pop in occasionally, do a few turns and battles, then pop out. But I usually never split time between MMOs because I like to concentrate on story line, progression etc. For the foreseeable future it's SWTOR all the way.Mhorgrimhttp://forafewcreditsmore.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-34250185016868236562015-04-26T16:38:16.484+02:002015-04-26T16:38:16.484+02:00So many games; you're truly the mistress of MM...So many games; you're truly the mistress of MMO juggling!

I was really happy at the start of this year, too, when I decided to just focus on SWTOR. Picking up those other MMOs just kinda... happened. I don't know how it happened, but I just really got burned out with levelling, even though I don't consider myself as the typical butterfly gamer - I think I'm still reasonably loyal to the games I play.<br /><br />The sci-fi versus fantasy environment is a valid point, though. I think part of why Guild Wars appealed to me the way it did is because of the fantasy environment. And also because I enjoy walking through (virtual) nature, and there's relatively many cities and buildings in SWTOR.<br /><br />I've dabbled in Neverwinter a bit, but I never really got enthused by it.<br /><br />I'm not really the non-MMO type of player either. I guess having had extensive periods the past years in which my health was too bad to bring up the concentration to play MMOs 'helped' in that regard.<br />Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-29836559297548861462015-04-26T03:59:09.763+02:002015-04-26T03:59:09.763+02:00Galaxies is becoming my instant favorite again.
Th...Galaxies is becoming my instant favorite again.<br />That aside, World of Warcraft is my main game. Of 11 characters I only have one now below lvl 60, which sort of amazes me. I don't raid in any game, but I have plenty to do at maximum level.<br />Secret World is immersive, obsessive fun. It feels like a horror/puzzle/rpg with lots of people zooming by being chased by zombies. The storyline is scary and intriguing. I have no idea where they're going with this.<br />Rift is a really dynamic world thanks to Rifts which open randomly all over, belching out monsters. Instant Adventures put you in groups that are teleported all over the landscape working to accomplish specific goals. Crafting is interesting. Homes are instanced but some are beautiful. You can make some of your own furniture, and some is looted.<br />Everquest 2 has a lot of charm. It has a High Fantasy vibe. Lots of classes to choose from. Housing is instanced and doesn't have the freedom to place things you have in SWG and Rift. There is much ahead of me here, I think the game is rich in ways I'll like as I advance.<br />Guild Wars 2 is a good game to drop in and play for bit. I've much to learn here too.<br />LOTRO, yikes I should log in for the anniversary. Lots of new content for me. Some of the best quest writing and music anywhere.<br />Morrowind, Oblivion and Dragon Age beckon. Haven't completed Mass Effect 1, may have to reinstall.<br />Happy Gaming!Atherenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773969634802702992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-26723621694668693652015-04-25T23:49:47.737+02:002015-04-25T23:49:47.737+02:00I haven't played a non-MMO in ages; somehow it...I haven't played a non-MMO in ages; somehow it feels like there are never enough hours in the day. (Plus at the moment I have the problem that I'm running out of disk space on my old hard drive, which makes me averse to installing new games in general.)<br /><br />I just play SWTOR as my main game, and recently Neverwinter as my secondary one. I don't really have this seperation of purpose like you though - while I'm only a casual in Neverwinter, I also still play SWTOR in a casual manner sometimes. I think for me it's more about rounding out my sci-fi with a healthy dose of fantasy.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.com
