MMOs I’ve Played
I haven’t been into MMOs all that long. The first one I played was Dark Age of Camelot, and that wasn’t until 2003. Since then I’ve been pretty much addicted to the genre and only play single player games as a bit of a filler occasionally. I decided that, for no good reason at all, I would list the MMOs I’ve played, about how long I’d played them for, and give them a meaningless score out of 5. Here we go.

I probably gave TR a 3 out of 5 more from wanting it to be that good rather than actually being that good. I only played it for six weeks, perhaps if I perservered longer I would have disliked it more.
As to Vanguard, I nearly gave it a 3 for the numerous game crashes and graphics bugs it STILL has, but for an old school MMO it hits the mark.
Best of luck.

A heads up
On my blog..I am discussing my wonderful adventures in Vanguard (just received it over the weekend)…and maybe come by and comment. I am interested in how others see what I am writing.
Do you think I am being too easy? Too harsh?
Opinions count..

Hmmm
Looks like you’re getting some strange comments…may want to look at them
Adverts and Gold Selling…oh boy
Good luck
As to your list…interesting…the games you seem to avor, I liked as well..except Tabula Rasa…mine is a 2 out of 5…setting just became too boring…combat was cool
Also, have not done Vanguard…but, on my blog I have started a “Vanguard adventure” to see how a newb would feel in this game
Wish me luck
