Post WoW and Pirates Online
It's been a while since anything has been posted here, so I figured I'd post something game-related.

As I stated months ago, I did indeed quit WoW for who knows long. I had a huge falling out with someone I used to consider a friend. He would constantly harass me on all my toons, and of course, the 'wonderful' (yeah right) customer service department did nothing, so I deleted all my lower leveled toons, left the server and moved to another one. The guild I was in was full of great people, but after that experience, I decided to stop my subscription. Meh, oh well. Even though my priest was level 70, I wasn't really able to progress like I wanted to.

Anyway, I've been trying out Pirates of the Caribbean Online. I wouldn't really recommend it. The graphics are subpar, the lag is horrible, and the quests are the usual 'fetch this and that and blah blah blah' over and over. The weapons are okay, but it's definitely not worth 9.99 a month. I chose to subscribe for the first month for 4.95, but I'm going to cancel my subscription when it comes time to renew it. If you play a free account, you're really limited as to what you can do, what weapons you can have and whatnot. The other gripe I have is you have to call an 800 number to cancel your subscription. At least with WoW, you could do it online.

Has anyone else tried out this game? What was your experience like?

Anyhoo, I think I'm finished with MMORPGs for a very, very long time. They're just not my thing anymore.

	All I've seen of the PotCO game has been the commercials, but the graphics looked so bad that I haven't bothered to investigate further. And that's a shame because the subject matter is so interesting - If done right, it could be a really fun gaming experience. (Reply to this)

I haven't tried that particular game, but I think after trying City of Heroes I kind of decided that MMORPGs aren't my thing. The gameplay and graphics were okay, but really I spent most of my time just creating different heroes (since you were allowed about ten character slots on about ten different servers, the possibilities were pretty extensive). I guess I'm just not much for multi-player in general. The only games my partner and I play together are NCAA Baseball and Guitar Hero/Rock Band. I think we're just too controlling when it comes to gameplay and don't want to have to deal with checking in with teammates or being responsible for teammates.
