I’m going through cold turkey at the moment, I’ve stopped playing World of Warcraft for nearly 10 months. I played WoW since the launch back in 2004 and nothing compares. Its making me feel sick, as I want to move and enjoy other MMO’s. There is always this wall in front of me, if it doesnt feel like WoW I cannot adapt. Its like coming off drugs.
I’ve not touched an MMO since World of Warcraft, but some other new MMO’s were hitting the shelves. I took the plunge and dived in.
Champions Online
I never played City of Heroes before Champions Online, I had been following it since it was suppose to be Marvel Online Universe. But when Microsoft and Marvel pulled the plug, they went for an untouched IP ‘Champions’. I never played any of the role playing games before so it was an interested take. I instantly purchased this game when the retail servers went live. Crazy downtime but was shocked on how great the character creation was, this was a game in its own right. Creating such diverse characters is awesome. The game is very good also, takes you through a tutorial and is very very different from other fantasy MMO’s like World of Warcraft. The game is good, but feels very unfinished. I was downloading a 80~mb patch daily with fixes.
