MMORPG for me.

Hi,

which mmorprg will i enjoy more if I LOVED Guild wars?
WoW or DDO? Im willing to pay money for both. WoW is more expensive of course.

Im a solo player mainly, but I made a few friends and joined a guild quite easily in Guildwars before.

I use 3G internet in the city, which is fairly fast for downloading, but I cant download too much for the game. My ping is good enough to play SC2 "decently online". My computer is fast though. Im a pretty casaul player. I dont want too much commitment into the games.

Thanks.

I said WOW OR DDO.moonwolf1

probably WoW DDO is very much based on things you didnt enjoy.. few lewt drop, few skills and complex abilitis tree's and elaborate maps.

WoW is very much simpler at a basic level as you get higher in the leveling ladder things get more complex

Disregard this, it is a horrible answer anyways. Personally WoW is a top-notch quality mmo that has an incredible following for a reason. I have played it as well as a plethora of other MMO's,(Including Guild Wars although it is a bit of a stretch to call it an MMO) and WoW remains supreme with its volume of content/flat-out fun you can have with the game.

He's a solo player and you recommend rift? Rift is all about working together.

What If i buy the battlechest? How much more will I have to download?

I liked guild war's story and atmosphere. Not much grind, and a lot of adventure/good skills. Not too competitive or time consuming.

DDO sounds like that, but it seems too complex and hard to get into.

WoW looks looks really appealing for some reason, though.

WoW. DDO is a pretty complex game and it is NOT in anyway a solo friendly game. The dungeons are designed so that you need something like a full team.

I would say Lord of the Rings online for solo play either that just keep playing Guild Wars and wait on it predecessor.

WoW is the best, nothing even comes close.

Why not start a World of Warcraft Trial Account if you're not sure?

Really, though, I think this question is a no-brainer. To quote Cartman, "Butters, go buy World of Warcraft, install it on your computer, and join the online sensation before we all murder you!"

When you do try it out, just be sure to select your server/realm carefully.

Happy gaming,

Boz

Well just a warning here but even if you buy every expansion including Cata for WoW you will still need to do some serious patching once it is all installed :( that is unfortunately just the way the game is now days. The battle chest should keep you busy for a while though if you do decide to pick it up.

How much will I have to download if I buy the Battlechest?

I realise this game may be 17 GB big. But I can't download too much (4-5 GB Patch would be 'ok').

I would try out the Trial account give week of game time and level cap of 20 play around with different classes and check out the game see if you like it our not. The trial account lets you start playing in matter of minutes cause game download while your playing.

I would look for buddy maybe run with the Recruit a Friend but then again the 1-60 now is really amazing so that kinda iffy. I've been playing WoW for around 6 years now and it starting go down hill for me but someone that totally new to the game might just be the most amazing thing you ever played.

I would also take look at Rift it really good game and just came out lot of postive things bout this game over WoW.

Also blizzard has maintence today so server, bnet and account registration will be down till around 2pm pst.

OP asked numerous questions which were unanswered.

HOW HAS EVE OR RIFT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS TOPIC? PEOPLE???

I asked for Wow OR DDO. Then I asked for download size.

Answer please...

Stop detracting from the thread and advertising random stuff.

Thanks for further confusing me with the download info.

Im getting the battlechest.

Hopefully I won't have to download much. I know it's a big game. The disc should cover a bit.

So many posts, yet my answer isnt 100% answerred. You guys...

if you liked GW so much why dont you return to playing that. you can have some fun for very cheap (free if you already have everything) until GW2 drops.

Not only were your questions answered, but you could answer these questions yourself without posting in the forums with a little research. Installation requirements are clearly provided by publishers of both games on their respective sites. Reviews are easily available for both games right here on Gamespot.

You are being very ungrateful considering the number of people that responded to this question. Certainly users are always going to respond with random suggestions; in this case they're not really off-topic, they're just MMO titles you might want to consider. Personally I'd be happy if someone made a suggestion for a title of which I might not have potentially heard already.

Happy gaming,

This. The download is decently big and its the same company as DDO. Only difference is LotR Online is made for solo play.

Read your thread title. Now think for a second, what kind of responses will that get you? Recoemmendations on an MMO for you. So if you don't like it make a better title next time.
