(I've done LOTRO and been pretty good at it, paid about 30 dollars in a year and a half and had enough TP to get Isengard).<br /><br />Which would you recommend for this? It seems like you've spent alot of time in EQ2, but I worry about the stability of that game (do alot of people really still play it)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-63185841594605703552011-11-03T10:06:07.359-04:002011-11-03T10:06:07.359-04:00Weirdly enough your character looks like an eq2 Wo...Weirdly enough your character looks like an eq2 Woof Elf with green crazy armor....guess it is an SOE product.

Even in SWG, I eventually got used to the camera being locked to my mouse. And if the system is designed for gamepads rather than a KB mouse set up, I have a USB gamepad I almost never plug in. I think the last time I used it was playing Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst.Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-27430238313220305942011-11-03T06:24:17.630-04:002011-11-03T06:24:17.630-04:00I've been wanting to pop into the game and giv...I've been wanting to pop into the game and give it a go since hearing it went FTP, sounds like something fun to putter around with on the side. I just need to set aside some time! Hope to read more about your thoughts on the game if you continue to play it. <br /><br />Plus, it is always nice to have another game included on the Station Access pass.kaozzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058067791146704803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-35741445355165673502011-11-03T05:28:42.353-04:002011-11-03T05:28:42.353-04:00I just posted a long reply which Blogger ate, as i...I just posted a long reply which Blogger ate, as it eats my first "publish" of every comment. Only this time i forgot to copy before I posted. Grrrr.<br /><br />Short version: the control system isn't atrocious. It's surprisingly easy to get used to and very intuitive. Where it took me more than three days even to begin to get used to FFXI's UI, I was comfortable with DCUO's in minutes and by the time I left the tutorial it felt completely natural. (Very good tutorial, by the way. Both interesting and a good representation of actual gameplay, two things that can't be said about most MMO tutorials).<br /><br />I played in beta on a PvE server, which was great, but at launch I played on a PvP server, which was better. Open world PvP , at least around launch, was balanced, frequent and fun. I'd recommend it right now, when there will be a lot of people playing at lower levels, although, at least when I was playing regularly, it was entirely possible for a level 12 to fight a level 16 and win.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-19567402965134411202011-11-02T23:44:17.906-04:002011-11-02T23:44:17.906-04:00I realize you said you were pleasantly surprised, ...I realize you said you were pleasantly surprised, but the controls you describe sound atrocious. Sounds a lot like SWG until you figure out tapping the Alt key frees up your mouse. That scheme had me screaming and cursing at my monitor. Hopefully there are some gamepad options...Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.com
