Attempt to play CounterStrike: Source, Silkroad Online, used to play Guild Wars but not much anymore, Command and Conquer Zero Hour.

Unfortunately my clan plays CS:S, but my ping averages 300 and constant FPS of 9 :(

Of course it does! It's one the internet isn't it? I think so!

I'm more of a Nexus Wars and Battleon kind of person.

There once was Dark Age of Camelot, but I stopped almost a year ago.

...and there is this game, "NationStates". Nobody mentions this, must be unknown here %-)

I cashed out at $10 because I was greedy.

I had to start all over at that point, right now I have $5.12, I am trying to decide if I am going to cash in at $10 again or go for the $10 million.

I play Cybernations as well.

I used to play Utopia. It was once upon a time really popular, and I was pretty good at it before I got bored. I don't know if it's still popular now.

I also play The Game, which I just lost. [/thread]

Kingdom of Loathing. Duh!

Most amusingly satirical, and addictive, online game ever.

that's what I said. ;)

I find myself laughing out loud while playing, now that's a good game.

Strange game (http://www.nationstates.net), really. They even have some sort of discussion forums (http://forums.jolt.co.uk).

Oh, and I used to play a Browser game called Star Trek: Galaxy Coonquest (http://www.stgc.de/).

LOL. Nope, haven't played HL2 yet. I'll probably get around to it sooner or later, but at the moment all my gaming time is being sucked up by Guild Wars and Civ IV. :)

Well you should, hope I haven't put you off! It's not as good. HL2 Episode 1 is better than HL2 IMO.

Is Guild Wars any good and is the first one or Factions better?

I will, don't worry! Just don't have time for extra games right now. :) I know a few people who agree with you about Ep 1, but when I get around to it I'll be doing HL2, and if I like that enough, then Ep 1.

I like Guild Wars a lot, but I really enjoy RPGs, so if they're not your thing you might not want to play. If you've played other MMORPGs, you'll want to keep in mind that the level cap in GW is at 20, but they keep you playing by having the cool skills and items appear later in the game. And of course it's a one-time fee, which I liked. I only recently started playing Factions, so I haven't decided yet which one I like better. I think I might still have a free trial key for one or the other that I can give you if you want to check it out. You just missed the Nightfall preview, but I'll be getting that and will let you know how it turns out if you want. :)

I like some RPG's I haven't played any online yet. I liked the original Baulder's Gate and Planescape Torment. Baulder's Gate Dark Alliance I passionately hated. Fable was good, Elder Scrolls Oblivion is my fav (didn't like the other Elder Scrolls). I do need something else to do online other than NS as I don't really play HL much anymore and the servers on Unreal Tournament were horrendous to try and connect to so I gave up. (Steam pwns Unreal servers).

Guild Wars is nice and cheap now (teh Shaolin has £0) so I'll pick up a copy and see. Let me know about Nightfall! ;)

Sure you don't want the key for the free trial? It's for two weeks or something. Doesn't get much cheaper than free, and that way if you don't like it you won't have spent any money on it. :)

Baldur's Gate and Planescape Torment rocked. I played through BG again about a year ago and still loved it. Haven't played Oblivion because I hated Morrowind after expecting to love it because of how much my friends talked it up.

I played Morrowind because of the write-up and instantly hated it so I didn't play much of it. Oblivion is something else entirely - well worth a look IMO.
