online gaming nerds

like me....and im getting a litle tired of the starcraft nazis that take the game too seriously.....can anybody reccomend a good graphic game for online players..world of warcraft seems interesting but,is there games where you can do anything..like anything...and only with other players...and gaining exp?i need some decent entertainment...and nothing entertains me more than random human behavior

Second Life?

you basically described world of warcraft....just sign up and do it and see if u like it...def worth it in my opinion

second life looks fascinating......very surreal.

but still....must kill things....customer tharapy....

Eve Online...

it's almost entirely PVP oriented, with just enough PVE to make it worth playing, and it's graphically amazing.

The developers call it a "sandbox game", because they baiscally just created the game environment, and let hte players play however they'd like.

Yeah, so, I'm not really clear from your original post why you have a problem with WoW. They have a free trial and you can download it for free. You should probably just do that.

Free? Really? This'll make unemployment fly by! As long as I can get some wireless signal from the alley behind the Howard Johnsons.

OK, I think you may have just opened a can of worms for me. This looks fun.

Well, human behavior rarely gets more random than World Of Warcraft...

For ten days. Of course, you're addicted by then.

I've had a lot of fun with Guild Wars, that's one of those online games where the fun is more community over content I think. It's also free after you buy it - that doesn't suck!

You can't really be all "I can do anything!" in it.. but I've been contemplating getting back into Planetside. That game is the most fun I've had playing in a guild. Is there anyone here who still plays it?

Seconding this. There's no real cap on character progression, and you can do just about anything. Noob life sucks, but if you can tackle the learning curve (it's steep) you'll find that there is much fun to be had.

ill probably just get into wow...i guess its because ive been playing the reign of chaos too long...since ive never seen it...im a little edjy about its content level....i was afriad it be for a younger audience...but i so could use the dnd experience agian...that was fun

Most games have a free trial, try as many as you can before you pick one. IT really sucks to get 6 months into a character and realize "wow, this game reallys sucks".

No doubt. My old guild from EQ2 bounces around from game to game for that reason exactly.

I miss eq2 =(

WoW is fun but Conan and Warhammer will be better

I've heard a lot of good things about Vanguard. . .

Someone start up a non-random-people-I-don't-know Dystopia server already.

Also, Defcon.

see i could dig warhammer..i already play the modle 40k game .i nkow they already got 40k on the comp...but you have to buy the game + an expansion to play online.....kinda expensive....

I am still playing Diablo!

Welcome to 1996.

Dofus. ^^

I love that game! *pouts*

I hate Second Life. I hate it so goddamned much.
