TOG - The Older Gamers

ttomm61 · 5th November 2007, 10:22 AM

Hi
I was thinking of playing UO or D&D Online if there are some guilds for us older gamers.
Of Course game play is important..I'm not on to WOW and the little glitches like hitching in LOTR is a total turn off for me....So I thought UO or D&D but I'm up for suggestions

Well, DDO is really a hard game to like after the first few days. It's all instanced...all of it. The only part that is not is the town where you train, shop and is the central point from one instance to another. It might as well be a multi-player game with a big graphical lounge room for people to meet.

Granted, its a very nice looking game and they got the D&D skills/spells/powers and races done very well. Re-playability is just not there, bad chat system, game is very twitchy...very, and you lose interest kinda quick cause you can get to top lvl in about 2 weeks. Like I said, Re-playability is not there.

UO, never been a fan of the bad graphics and small models.

Suggestions, Tabula Rasa, Vanguard, Eve, EQ2, Anarchy Online, City of Heroes/Villains, Guild Wars and Sword of the New World ( if you like instances or something different these last 2 are good )

There are no longer any official Tog D&D online forums or guilds that I know of, UO either. There are some new MMO's coming out or recently come out that have more of a following here though.

The TOG DDO forum is still there.

But are extremely quiet.

Hiya tom,
You can always have a look at the TOG Voyage Century Online mate.
I'm the Guild leader and we have a pretty good time on TS and stuff.
It's free to play, and we have a VCO forum for you to check out too.
based on 17th century pirate stuff.
Send me a pm if you like or add my on xfire for a chat johngeeman
Sure there is some boring stuff (like AFK chopping and mining) but thats why we have secondary alts to muck about with.
Good Luck
