I'm for Star Control II (or the open source project The Ur-Quan Masters), or Grand Theft Auto. Both would have the advantage of being available for free, and GTA would be somewhat topical as it gets another sequel in a few months.

@rorie: I will tool around with this advice when I get home. I get the impression from this thread that you can make this game whatever you want it to be, but so far the solo experience feels like a sort of clunky, old ARPG with a hint of input lag. Guild shenanigans, short of the masochistic day-long session crap, sounds like what sets apart this whole genre of game from everything else, and I have yet to experience even a hint of that.

Also, while I am not privy to all of the things the Starter accounts don't get, I can say for certain that all of the pet stuff is right out. No dog fights for me.

@superkenon: Been thinking this might be a good idea. I figured if I'm going to do this terrible, regrettable thing that I might as well do it in the most disgusting way. If the action's all in a straight PVP server, I'll see if I can get in on that action and fine other folks. Danke.

I'll say straight up that I didn't really care for BRYN's plot abilities out the gate, but they've gotten a lot better. He's also got lots of nice small touches, like his title cards and the threat of Lightning's presence as a trolling device. I'm now equally excited to see what both sides of the VGCW have in store. Good stuff.

I tried a demo of WoW two years ago and was bored stiff after about two hours of grindy starter quests. Uninstalled, figured I'd never be back. After watching Rorie play, thought I'd jump in again to give it a better chance. I'm a dwarf in a RPPVP server (forgot the name) playing the Starter edition, and I feel like I am in an instanced bubble away from everybody else in the world. Am I doing something wrong?

It's actually sort of fitting that the spaces between the "important" parts of the game are randomly generated, as Tamriel was apparently the campaign setting for a D&D game that folks at Bethesda were playing. Dungeon masters make shit up all the time to make a world seem more fleshed out and real.

I want to get off of Rinoa's Wild Ride.

I was probably too excited when the SRIII theme started playing. And of course she's the one to get killed.
