I know alot of games but IDK which one really fits me. I like semi-crowded games, somewhat amusing leveling, a good community, and really fun PvP.

Any ideas?

Like SRO is cool, but the botting and the pretty annoying grindfest kind of pisses me off. For the past 2 months, I've been playing WoW private servers (yes I'm that bored).

I don't want to play cabal......

Btw, Real WoW I don't want to play.

Cabal is pretty good. All versions have bots but they are being banned and it is no where near bad as SRO. Leveling is easy until around level 137. Then it starts to take a few hours to level. Sort of like 4x solo leveling in SRO.

PvP is better than SRO.

From what i've heard, the game is absolutely epic, both in depth and size. I remember a couple years back when one corporation (clan) took over another one, through like a years worth of infiltration, looted their banks, detroyed their leader, destroyed their leader's character so she had to restart. The worth of all the stuff they took, for the prices sold on ebay, was somewhere near 16,000 USD. I've always wanted to try it, but I don't want to get sucked into another P2P.

^14 day trial, i'm going to sign up. In 14 days I usually get bored of a game anyways.

It was a 600 something mb download and I got in game and everything. In the options there's an option to upgrade the graphics which takes about another 600mb.

when i checked on the dl on steam it said it was like 3.74GB for the demo... let me check again...i'll check later i gtg for now.

EDIT: im back and will just piggyback on this post: the demo size on steam said it would require 2960mb which is almost 3GB right?

If you guys need any help in Eve, contact me in game. My name is "Kiljade".

And the PvP in Eve is beyond epic. Hell they pay a newscast team to cover their yearly tournaments, with full coverage. They also have their own f*cking magazine O.o. I gaurantee your first few weeks will be VERY discouraging. It has the steepest learning curve of any MMO (I've been playing for over a year, and I'm still learning new things. And of course the skill system pisses a lot of people off (it's real time), but is very useful for people who don't want to put hours a day into an mmo.

I really recommend it, but it does take a lot more than the trial to start enjoying it.

I really don't like EVE, I really want to find an MMO that has interesting, but skillful pvp, minimal bots, and fun leveling with a mixture of classes. I think GW is the closest game to my liking.

maybe you can get enough ingame currency for extension or borrow from other players and pay them back later

Agreed m8 : )

+, Cabal is due to update in the upcoming month with a new hardcore dungeon, pet upgrades new tweaks like a PvP countdown and other helpfull fixes.

As I always say, Cabal can be boring up to lvl 20-50 ish [ Takes maybe a day to get there ]. After that when you get most of your skills it's amazing. Never looked back since playing it.

Eve does have all of that... you just have to have played for a year O.o

Well the game isn't out yet, and it will be P2P. But Warhammer: Age of Reckoning, it's basically pure RvR/PvP. It should be coming out in around two months thats really the only down side.

@Puppet, can you really pay ingame money to get subscription time, can you post/pm me the info on that, cuz I would definitely play EVE if it is reasonable.

Sorry messed up quotes :D

The other downside is that EA is making them release by September forcing them to cut out a lot of the great stuff they promised. Honestly, if they just waited a month more, the game would be 2x better at release, and most people wouldn't mind. F*cking EA... why do they have to be such assholes?

Because they get their money from people with the "Oooo, shiny" syndrome. If they've cut out as much stuff as you make it sound like, its chances of toppling WoW just fell significantly.

you can't rush into EvE, it think thats a big turn off or some and a turn on for others, if i was younger and had more time on my hands i'd definitely look into it but i saw those skill learning times, most of them lasted longer than my free trial....I'll play Sins of a Solar Empire to get that big space feel...

Sorry messed up quotes :D

a 60day subscription costs about 400-500mil
find more deals @ http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard ... lID=544711
but i don't think any job ingame can make that much in 14 days

@above, no there's only KOR,CN,EU,NA,PH,SG cabal versions (thank god the NA version has no turks)

PvP is awesome on it too, talk about risky. You have to have major teamwork, cant take on a good army of players being rambo.

at first i though sro was the best ,but now after i got used to the combo mode in cabal online ,i don't play sro anymore ,the only good thing about sro thats not in cabal is that sro has better gfx ,but in cabal it have really cool looking skills ,and action ,and faster time pace than sro ,so i can't go to that slow game again xD

Since you hate Cabal, just find a WoW private server. I heard the pvp there is pretty good.
