UO(UltimaOnline) Vs UU(Ultima Underworld)

Doom vs Half-Life Internet Multi-Player

Baldur's Gate vs Diablo 2 Online game

MS Flight Simulator vs Crimson Skies (Multiplayer Flight Simulator)

and the goodie..

I'm assuming that most people here Role PLay on MMORPGs ok.
IMO the main thing that bothers me wiht any UO is the annoying Kewl DuZs who are just plain abusive to anyone who trys any PRGing even showing up where they know people are gathering to roleplay just to get their kicks.Hmmm thats a bit offtopic.
IMO
1.Uo is circling the drain due to origin seeming to focus on H&S players who will be gone to the next game in a few months by removing seers and generally ignoring any problems roleplayers have in the game.

2.HalfLife multiplayer people are more fun to fight because they're more intelligent and verbel[ly abusive].

3.Baldurs gate definitly, D2 is just hack and slash and not my cup of tea.

4.I don't play and flying games

5.Online casinos mainly pamper to addicts
Doesn't the Uk have a big problem with this?
Heard on the grape vine that a portion of the money from online casinos in the Uk are sent to a charity to help gambling addicts.

You know, you'll probably get more comments if you post this subject over in the RPG area, instead of SYM. We'll just end up spamming the hell out of you.

Forgot to postmy views...

Online games are better in some aspects...

1, the sprites on screen represent real people... therefor giving a geek (such as my self) the opportunity to say 'I do have a social life' (sadly.. not a sex life)

2, Human reactions are much less predictable... expecially noticeable when one plays games such as Age of Empires.

3,You can pummel someone with hot lead on Quake Arena whos on the otherside of the world.

4. Great communication and friend-making tool (perheps bettered only by the Gamebanshee forums ).

But I hate online games because...

1,No 'save' or 're-load'.

2, UO

3,Being taken to jail and stripped of my counselor robes WITHOUT WARNING! OSI WILL PAY!

4, logging on just to refresh my house

5, getting the feeling that UO is just a patched up piece of old, frayed software thats the ugliest piece of crap.

6, paying monthly charges

Commercial Break...

Do you hate OSI shards? Like UO as a game... just hate the l33t kewl d00ds that claim to r0xx0r? Then go to...[url="http://www.sandnarrows.net/sundering"]First Sundering[/url].. a totally role-play shard where you get banned for being OOC! Recommended by Denethorn 2001

End of Commercial Break.

I like Offline games because...

1.They have a deeper story (you have a start off story in UO but other wise the story is.. newbie,4x Grandmaster, Veteran)

2, One single, manageble, low non-monthly payment from Lombard direct.

3,Saves and re-loads.

4, Detailed manuals.

5, Beards.

I hate offline games because....

because...

it varies from game to game.

Well that was my dull account of offline vs online games...

cue spammers.

Yeah thats why I do it...
I'm giving the spammers ample space to spam!

Do you think I'm attempting to give you a game-ascociated and thrilling topic???

I think they are glad to just sit back and collect their monthly charges rather then improve the game, all the new changes have been uninspired pieces of crap.
Like it has been made by people who don't play any online games.

I'm serious... if anyone still has the UO software First Sudnering is a good free player-run shard.
