Thats why I quit that game!

I'm a huge fan of comic books... Ever since I was little I've been fascinated with super heroes and super villains... I think for me it was Superman that started it all, but the last 20 years or so I have been far more interested in the Marvel universe (Superman is DC Comics), and I think its due to the multitude of heroes and villains that exist in the Marvel world... So Originally when I heard they were making City of Heroes, I was so excited (mind you, this was in 2004 or maybe even earlier than that, I honestly dont remember) For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past 5 years, or accidentally stumbled upon my blog because you thought it was something entirely different... I Can tell you that CoH/CoX is an mmorpg based on heroes. You create your avatar by using many many many different costume/outfit options, and you can make your avatar look like almost anything you could imagine. This is actually my favorite feature of this game. In fact, if they had a...

Most of my friends already know about my love and affection for the game that is... WAR... Warhammer Online. I originally started playing this game in the early early phases of the beta tests, most likely because I had 2 active Dark Age of Camelot (DAOC) accounts at the time and had signed up with those two... DAOC was an mmorpg that Mythic had created before they got their filthy hands on the Warhammer project. ... I said WAS because they murdered their own game when they tried to convince DAOC players that WAR was going to be the new DAOC... obviously it wasnt, since alot of the DAOC players went right back to DAOC after trying out WAR :P Some of the DAOC players just lost faith in Mythic completely and never went back to DAOC, causing both WAR and DAOC to feel empty and very much devoid of the action you're normally used to on an mmorpg. Anyways... I was looking forward to WAR and thrilled that one of my favorite mmorpg developers were making a new game... but little did I know ...

I came across this sorry excuse of an mmo whilst browsing http://www.mmorpg.com , a site that I frequently look at, in my search for new and interesting (albeit mostly crappy) online games. My attention was caught by a banner that read something to the extent of: Download it in 5 minutes! Level up in 60 seconds! And they were right!!! Finally a banner add for a crappy mmorpg that actually keeps its promise! The full game file was around 150mb to download, so quick and easy to get that one, compared to the usual 1 to 3 gb files we see in most of the newer trials and full games. But there is a very good reason for the small file size... The game looks like it belongs somewhere in the back of my closet next to some random Playstation 1 game :/ In short, its a semi-topdown/isometric , 2.5D game with graphics that look like a horrible mix of some epic fail anime and UFO X-Com Enemy Unknown from 1990 something :P As a player you start in either Sparta or Athens, both are regions where npcs ...
