Guild Wars 2?
Claus Dragon
I am currently playing Neverwinter Nights 2.
Then, as soon as I have found my Dungeon Siege CD again, I will play
Lazarus.
In between, I might get a graphics card, but as always, I am unsure
about which one to buy ...
how was that again? GTX then GS then GT for GeForce Chipsets?

I didn't really care for that one too much although I did kinda like
building my castle.

Sweet. That's a fun game.

From best to worst: GTX, GT, GS.

I guess I should mention that last year I got a GeForce GTX 260 and it's
been working great ever since, although I haven't really played much on it
other that LotRO, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Stalker Clear Sky.

the Norn lands, and in GW2 I'll be able to play one. I'm hoping it
works on Linux as well as the original did. Despite the fact that I am
currently running the RC of Win7, Linux is still my primary OS.
I actually find Windows 7 usable though, but not for $300, so unless I
buy a new computer that comes with a copy my Windows experience will
be ending in June when this copy stops working. It would definitely
make things easier for gaming, and give me a chance to play Lazarus.

I liked the hero idea, problem was that some people just played with
heroes and henchmen (I did sometimes, as well) instead of real people.
A friend of mine was quite angry with the heroes for he said that it
ruined the game somewhat, you do not need so many people to play with.
I tend to agree with that, but then again, having had to deal with
some 13 year olds, I figured that we were better off playing with two
humans and a few heroes.

Lazarus, yes, I need to find my Dungeon Siege copy again (which I
actually bought in order to be able to play Lazarus).

I play with a few people I know. The rest of the time I only run with
heroes and henchmen. I've spent enough time dealing with idiots in
online games that I tend to avoid the general population and stick to
a guild/org/corp or people that I know and can trust not to get me
killed or annoy me so much that I want the mobs to eat me just so I
don't have to listen to them any more.
I preferred the LAN or direct connect multi-players to MMOs. At least
then you can kick people who are just there to cause problems. I
prefer Guild Wars to games like WoW or AO (my favorite MMO) because
the missions are instance and you don't get all the kill stealers and
just plain obnoxious people spamming the local channels, plus it's
easier to finish missions if the boss isn't camped constantly for some
random item it drops.

Nights 2 fast.
Shame that its still nice weather - so the game has to wait until the
bad weather season hits.

Yeah, me too. My first online gaming experience was a good old
MUD with half of the population being centered around a few
university
groups. You could actually have a decent conversation with all of
them,
in more or less broken English, that is.
You could always ungroup people, or just plainly try to kill them. You
were
not really stuck with idiots for the rest of the mission (Mission
starts, "Oh sorry,
moms calling for dinner" - afk and get the mission reward anyhow).

While that all may be true, the problem is that those are very small
groups with
limited resources.
I like Guild Wars system of instances - you can never have a boss
being camped.
I played Runes of Magic for awhile, and was pretty angry after having
been the
victim of kill stealers for a couple of times.
