He does have a point... I know a few AGSers with glaringly bad spelling, punctuation, (and sometimes grammar)- I'm not going to name any, but they're all older than 16. 

On topic: I prefer to not play MMORPGs as I find them a waste of money, especially if you have to buy the game and pay monthly fees. If I play any MMORPGs at all, they're usually those free crappy ones (like RuneScape).
I'm composing the music for this game:

Endless Online is another one.  The game itself really isn't all that bad for being free, but it's just the other players (the stupid ones) that suck the fun right out of it.
Watch, I just killed this topic...

I'd love to name them, but I can't, as it'd be seen as attacks. Regardless, as an English major, you have no idea how many people on here I want to correct... *sigh*  :-\
Still here.

I know that I may end up with a "fuck off", but here goes:

1.Sorry if this was a messy post but i was in a hurry
Yes, but simmilarly, I don't see any reason for the whole community to take up with yor messy post, because you were in a hurry. If you are in a hurry, hold on 'till you have 5 more minutes and make a better post. It makes sense, doesn't it?

Quote2.The fact that a people is older then 16 dosent mean that he/she can  form a proper scenteces in English
Indeed it doesn't, but usually with age comes more experience... Notice the word usually. By all means nobody has banned you, so this is a good isgn don't you think?

Quote.I'm not bad at English and why do you think that a 13 year ol' Magyar(Hungarian)
cant form proper english scentences
I'm a master of tpyos to be honest (the tpyo is one I do in purpose btw), but in your last post here you have done a lot of mistakes, which can only be avoided, not by knowing English but by paying attention:
cant: can't
doesnt: doesn't
a people: a person
Andial: Andail.

It's not a problem of English, but a problem of paying attention.

By all means, I make myriads of tpyos, I'll repeat that! I'm not teaching or lecturing here, just pointing out why probaby Andail, mentioned this, and what this could be... (but of course he's a english major, right?)

Quote4.And Andial I could form a proper hungarian scentece when i was 3 like this:
Na tudnál egy ilyen mondatot jól összerakni.
(If you wanna know what this means look it up in your hungarian dictionary.)

Well done! I won't waste my time looking the translation services in the internet for this. What does this prove? That Hungarian have "fuck off" as well!

In a very simple language, I'm not a mod, so it's not the mods acting here: Your initial post did not offer anything to discuss really, and it was in all honesty hard to understand. I mentioned it in another post in here I believe. Not anyone at the age of 16+ (I'm 30, almost btw), will have interest in pokemons! Try to think before posting. That's the main idea!

EDIT: After what Steel Drummer mentioned! Whoops. Sorry for that w.

Wtcq didn't post those threads about pokemon, arthur.com did. :)

Buckethead, I've tried MapleStory before, but I got frustrated with it after it wouldn't log in (despite me entering the correct PIN number). I wouldn't recommend it unless you're willing to be patient and try signing up again and again (I had to make several accounts because it won't let you get a new PIN number, or make an account with the same email address). It's very annoying.

I wouldn't know, I just found these on the web and by the looks they seem rather interresting. I wouldn't know if any of their login systems is a faillure.

Maplestory is actually really good IMO. Good finding :D

I actually play World of Warcraft, believe it or not. I bought it a year ago and I'm only on level 62 (on my first character) so you can probably guess I'm not playing too often. I had a break this entire spring, for instance.

I enjoyed it in periods, like when I made some very good friends in the beginning, and we'd explore the very nice scenery of the more "terrestial" landscape you could find back then.
In the expansion (which I bought for some inexplicable reason) the lands are horridly depressing. They're either boring beyond comprehension (vast marshlands and grey desolate forrests) or extremely hostile and alien and full of weird purple spikes.

My best times in WoW were when I had hit 60 and could join my guild to various raids. I was in a guild with very mature (many around 25-30) and friendly players, and those who only thought of treasures did not last long.

Last time I logged on, my guild had disbanded. The prospect to wade around those marshes to kill hundreds and hundreds of ugly pathetic trash-mobs (who don't differ from the very first monsters you ever fried with your starfire, except that the numbers following every blow they strike are higher now) is simply too dull to cope with. 

That's the boring aspect of such a game. After 62 levels, hundreds of dungeons explored, hundreds of bosses subdued and God knows how many hours played you're still faced with extremely primitive and poorly designed creatures that fight just as unimaginatively and dumb as always, and the fights are still as monotonous and the local quests are just as meaningless (kill 30 of this, kill 20 of that, bring this enchanted bucket of goatmilk to that one-legged unicorn in the Windmill of Damnation), and everything is so repetative you feel like a robot. It's completely impossible to care for even one of the featureless NPC's that are sporadically thrown out in the most illogical locations around the gameworld.
At one point the NPC's of the humans' largest town were hailing my name and greeting me in awe, but now, a dozen levels later, I must still find lost kittens for demented villagers.

Also, I belong to the diminutive group of people who reason that attacking someone (another human player) preemptively is wrong. This results in me trying to wave friendly at some bypassing enemy and jump merrily a few times to indicate that I, even if I could, would not attack him. I then return to my own business, which is killing a bunch of screaming monkeyfish (which, despite their intelligence being seemingly comparable to that of seaweed, have established a clergy - every fifth individual is a priest). Of course, as the group of mobs have brought me down to half my full health, the human enemy makes a sneak attack from behind and murders me. He then Laughs out Loud and spits at my body, and sits down to patiently wait for me to resurrect.

I downloaded Maplestory a while back but was wary of it asking my National Insurance number.  I know very little about documents and the like and it turned me off.  Silly of me I'm sure, because it looked really cool.

As for Silkroad, don't bother with it.  I played up to about level 29 (cap is 80) and already it was about 10-20 hours per level of monotonous grinding.  The quests were 'kill 200 of x', and then when you've done that, 'kill another 200 of x', and then just grind without a quest until you level.  All the secrets to good character building simply involve levelling up about 5x slower, or the slower the better.  Basically the more of your life you have to waste grinding thousands of the same enemy the better.  The translation is also pretty poor.

Regarding monthly subscriptions, I was on the brink of signing up to WoW at one point, but the monthly fees really turned me off.  I'm more of a casual gamer and monthly fees add pressure to my life, which is the opposite effect to what I game for.  I also have a great dislike for paying money for a service that simply expires, I'd rather pay £100+ for the game and have unlimited access.  For example, Half-Life 1 was a cheap purchase and I've played it pretty regularly since it came out.  If that went to subscription I'd cry.

On the contrary though, consider the amount of time you'd play a subscription MMORPG in a month.  Take 30 hours/month as an average, you're paying roughly between £0.30 and £0.70 for an hour of play.  Minimum wage is over £5.00.  So you have the choice of either playing a crappy freeware MMORPG with dodgy servers and easier to hack, or work an extra 4 hours a month (at most) and play a commercial MMORPG with a heck of a lot more content.  I know which one I'd choose.
