Summary: What a nightmare
Review: Let me start by saying this COULD have been a great game. It has decent graphics, a decent interface, and a really awesome skill system.

Other than that forget it, the skill system is so easily maniuplated by macroing, basically you could have a Grand Master in less than a week. And everyone basically makes up the same tank/mage with the same exact skills or else you are basically dogmeat to the PK's.

PK's are Player Killers. Some say they are 'roleplaying' killers, but when a guy named Vanilla Ice or SwEEtPiMp decides to kill you for no reason and loot all your belongings, all feelings of roleplaying go out the window. It seems 3 out of 4 people open up every conversation with "Corp Por" which basically means you are going to die unless you can run away without the lag 'rubberbanding' you back within their range.

The game is overrun with childish "DooDz" who have nothing better to do than to ruin the game for everybody else. They get their kicks off of killing someone and then taunting them afterwards. Sounds like a case of the bullied becoming a bully, only difference is they are hiding behind their monitor free to do and say whatever they want to make themselves feel better.

I've played just about every online game thats out now and I can easily say that Ultima Online has to be the worst as far as enjoyment goes. There are just too many kids who are out to upset people, the players ruined this game.

Everquest is a step up but again there are quite a number of "DooDz" who act childish and immature ruining what could be a great game.

Asheron's Call on the other hand seems to have a pretty good player base of mature people. Dont get me wrong there ARE "LeeT D()()D$" who play it, but it isn't nearly as bad as the other 2 mentioned games.

So I'd skip Ultima Online and Everquest and probably put my money with Asheron's Call. You'll thank me later =)

Summary: Great game but on the expensive side. I recommend it.
Review: So good!! It is the best game i've ever played it is realistic, except for the monsters. Millions of people can play simultaneously at the same time in the same place!!

Summary: Not as good as could be
Review: The game is very addictive this is true, It has the potential to be great, however don't expect to do all the things it claims. Yes you have the option to buy houses in the game but the land space is limited and there is simply no more room for them. Yes you can use a meriod of skills but you are limited to how many and how high you can get them. Skill gain is slow and mindlessly reparative, yes some skills can be raised while adventuring but most are raised by siting there and performing the same action over and over. You'll spend long periods of time building skill. Skills points are raised in increments of .1% 100% being the goal and at the higher levels it can take many hours to gain just .1% and you can be banned for using an outside program to macro skills. The mechanics of the game change from month to month this is due to the constant tinkering by the administrators at times it'll be like playing a beta. Grand improvements are slow (they've been promising necromancy for two years) while minor changes are added and removed at an annoying rate(things like the way skills are gained and weather offensive magic can be used in town ,that one changed 3 times). Finally in-game support is there for only the most miniscule of problems (you get stuck in a server crack and can't move) but for most anything else the game masters are useless and right down rude.

Summary: Say Goodbye to your Social Life...
Review: This game gets very addictive once you start it. I will have to admit that when you begin your start in this great Fantasy world that it seems like you're not going to get anywhere, but that isn't true. Keep playing, you will get it eventually, and then its great!

You can choose to have your character do over many, many things. You can be a swordsman, or a blacksmith, tinkerer, or perhaps a fisherman. You may choose an artist, or a musician. Or maybe you can be a theif or a cold blooded killer. The fun can never end. If you start to get bored after awhile, start something new! Be something else, explore new cities. Play on new shards, meet new people. This game goes on forever!

To give you an example, here is what im like in the game... My hometown is Vesper, where I began playing. I started out as a swordsman and faught smaller creatures. Got gold, but not too much. Then I decided I needed more and became a Carpenter, cutting down trees and making shields and furniture then selling them to make a profit. Then I made a blacksmith to help in on the money. Now I am a Grand Master blacksmith, and a master miner. I mine different minerals and make items of weapons and armor. This is the kind of things you can do in this game! Become famous and kind like the way I did. Or do evil crimes and murder people and have a bad reputation. Its up to you! Its in your hands!

I recommend buying this game! You'll have fun, trust me. =)

Summary: absorbing and challenging
Review: This game is absolutely engrossing... difficult, but not impossibly so, it makes you jump into Britannia and not want to leave. And I'm sure that later versions will only be better; it is novel to have so many other PCs to interact with in such a natural way. Very *t i g h t*.

Summary: I Needed to Gargle to get the bad taste out of my mouth
Review: This game is awful. On a 56k modem, the game paused about every three steps to load what everyone else did. The controls are numerous and confusing. It is hard to start, and nobody will stop running around like idiots for a second to answer a simple question. It is also easy to get lost and the game has no point. An all around bad game.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: classic
Review: this game is classic when it comes to role playing. You are part pf the town, the forest and the world. Everything you do is what makes up your online home, and it takes lots of time and effort to even build up that skill level enough to be great. It's hard work, but in the end it pays off and you get to do some really cool stuff! hehehe. I play on Napa Valley, and I belong to the guild RFO

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun, Frustrating, Purge the day's stress, Play on AOL
Review: This game is fun and exciting, especially if you have friends that play or make friends easily (there are plenty of people you can meet that would like to play with others). Yes, you can use AOL to play this game, I've done it for almost two years now on AOL (you have to use 5.0 or one of the later builds of 4.0; go to keyword UPGRADE to get the latest version on AOL).
