I highly recommend everybody check out MapleStory. It's the first MMORPG I've ever seen that's 2D side-scrolling. The things that I like most about it are its simplicity (controls are essentially 3 or 4 keys, the whole world is large enough, but not annoyingly large-- you could probably transverse the entirety of Victoria Road, the road that connects all the cities in 30 minutes), its arcadey feel (it feels more like a side-scrolling sword game than an RPG) and its uniqueness.
If nothing else, I'd check out the website. If you wanna play with me, my name on there is RoSSMZX, and I can usually be found on channel 2, or sometimes the channel with the least load.

Oh wow, this game just looks too cute. I'm gonna HAVE to play it. Look for either Stephi-chan or MolotovKitten.

Awesum game

[.::ALTeRNaToR::.]

A very...happy looking kinda game...

Okay, instead of either of the names I mentioned earlier, look for Alaedda, usually in channel 2.

This seems to be all the rage these days...but is it worth a look for "anti-social" (ie. hates online games) players?

I hate MMORPGs...

EDIT; As a general rule.

This game... I don't know, it rubs me wrong. It doesn't ever feel like I'm doing anything. It takes too much time to level my character up to get a job, I dislike how easy it is to die, the creatures I'm fighting are take too long to kill because I'm too low level... It just feels like there's so much prepwork to actually get somewhere. Not really my cup of tea.

In FFXI to have advanced jobs you had to be level 30 that took weeks. Now all you need is level 10, which takes like two hours to get.

It's pretty hard to die in MapleStory.

In no other MMORPGs I could slay dozens of monsters that are around my level with only 3-5 arrows each.

i died once from falling too far but other than that it's easy to keep your shit together as long as you know when to lay off enemies

one time i did a quest where i delivered a letter and i got a beanie for my troubles

it was pretty neat

anyway if anyone wants to know which one i am, i'm Nadir on channel 2

also i'm a girl

Eh, nothing was better than the game Graal. you could customise your character anytime you wanted, had scripting for weapons... and was FUN! you could actually see the "LAT's" build things while you were in the game. (Lat's were the level builders)

BUT, the lack of customer support and Stefan's sudden backstabbing on all of us (took our accounts, forced us to pay game money, then real money). made a lot of us quit. The straw that broke the camel's back was a Game Coordinator (called a GC) known as Cypher, who gave out a ton of money and prize tickets by forcing us into a room and throwing items at us. Then, when the admins saw us with all that stuff , they immediately put us in "jail", a small room with nothing. to top it all off, cypher modified the server so that no one in jail could talk to anyone but a GC or an administrator. bastards.
