EVE Online is an open PVP game, and very mechanical intensive and modding and economic, if you are patient and intelligent and blood thirsty, it is great. :D

Lord of the Rings Online is a PVE game. You mostly kill monsters, go on quests. Very immersive, an excellent game if you like the movies, and if you read the books, you can see even the finest details from the books.

Those are two polar opposite, good games on the market that have mature people. Don't bother with WoW.

WoW was brilliant before the first expansion. Now, It is a bunch of noobs who have no idea how to actually pvp running around with Death Knights, who actually suck when compared to a pally.

All Blizz did was copy old boss fights, mobs, etc and all the scrubs bought into it.

Roleplay; PvP is and always has been, for lack of a better word, shit.

Bah, then why are you on 21c?

And besides, TBC and Wrath weren't awful; they merely meant that those with little time to play would be destroyed by the DKs and all the other new shit.

TBC rules; as do blood elves.

They are horrible. If a DK can kill someone that person sucks.

Also, 21C is realistic. WoWRP is fantasy.

True, but PvP is wrong for Warcraft; that's what has attracted all the noobs. If it was just RP, it would be somehow better.

I'm obsessed with fantasy. Tolkien rules. Just because a person is creative enough to worldbuild...

Right. RP Fantasy is the best in my opinion, but each to his own. I enjoy the new guild-instances and can't wait to assrape Arthas.

I watched them strap him into the seat and shut the door. He might of looked a bit nervous about it but that was about all. I really believe that he knew he was going to be in hell in fifteen minutes. I believe that. And I've thought about that a lot. He was not hard to talk to. Called me Sheriff. But I didn't know what to say to him. What do you say to a man that by his own admission he has no soul? Why would you say anything? I've thought about it a good deal.

I've always found Tolkien a tad... cliche. By no fault of his own, obviously, but when you're copied so many times that your work in essence becomes cliche, that is both testament for and against you. But part of that may simply be my utter disdain for his black-and-white portrayal of the world, where elves are good, orcs are bad, and humans can't be trusted. And, c'mon, Lord of the Rings boils down a 'God did it' plot. Not nearly as much as the Silmarillion (which isn't really a single story), but come on.

I prefer George R. R. Martin. When you're actually dealing with a non-human race or something definitively in the 'fantasy' category (ie, the Others), you're not gifted with the plethora of knowledge about them that Tolkien shoves down your throat. And it's also a great deal more gritty, since Tolkien would never devote an entire chapter to a bunch of lords sitting around a table plotting to murder a pregnant 14 year old. Then again, Martin has this absolutely nasty penchant of killing off the really interesting characters, whereas Tolkien generally sacrifices the old, boring, or supplementary characters.

This comparison is all the more fitting because Sean Bean, who played Boromir, is now being cast as Eddard Stark. While they really are in no way comparable (aside from both being far too proud, far too haughty, far too inclined to dwell on their swordsmanship, far too inclined to let their younger brothers draw the short stick, far too inclined to die for misguided senses of honor...), you really have to ask if your agent is a total ass and if directors hire you just to kill you.

Japan you probably don't know my old EVE character, I don't play anymore anyway.

Hearts of Iron 3 is a good strategy game but it's singleplayer and World War II and hasn't released yet (will in a few days).

How about you go out into the light - yes, I know you hate it, but you are going to leave the basement eventually and no, the light isn't part of a governmental conspiracy to kill you and thus destroying the only true liberal movement and starting a worldwide Islamic Republic - and play without your computer? :P

You're forgetting the time period LOTR was written in (with all the world seemingly going to hell) and the fact it essentially founded modern fantasy. Along with all those damned cliches.

The reason elves are good = Tolkien. Bad orcs = Tolkien.

I've never read Martin, though.
