    think i threw the box somewhere in my room, cant seem to find it lol. I wonder why as a newbie, you can get pked non-stop. And I still remember it was this summoned unicorn called a boxer who kept killing me. In fact, he was killing almost all newbies around, even tho not many players were in that area.

    dude, the company (IAH) is behind it, thats why its total crap. On Granado Espada, they actually hire part-time GMs to sniff out bots, and tons of innocent gamers were banned lol.

    Once i get my new rig, will play Crysis first, then wait for Hellgate's subscription mode to be out before playing.

    Well, all the games that were spammed about lately.

    In my eyes...they all failed.

    Guild Wars is AWESOME, that was hyped for a good reason.
    Hellgate is good too, don't see what is up with that.
    Perfect World is one of the best f2p MMORPGs out, it comes to par with some of the P2P mmorpgs.

    Perfect World met every expectation I had, sure it's hard in the beginning, but man does that game have a lot of content, I'm in love with PW right now

    Actually your right.The combat in PW might not be as quick as some other game.Not as fast, but I didn't said anyting about being boring did I :]?

    But overall the landscape and graphic more than make up for it.It's beautiful and lovely to look at.

    You're right!
    Guild Wars is nice theres alot of content to that game that keeps you into it.

    HellGate London theres someone about a MMORPG/FPS Type of game that kind of says to me... Someone did not have anythign to do today so we mixed 2 types of gameplays and hope they work.

    Perfect World Still a good game and met my par on standard for a MMO. Im still waiting on it.

    my opinion all the games where overly hyped, its onrpg members job to hype games to be the best ever to be created then when u play u dissapointed and want to quit, but some games in fact that have kept my attention for awhile come about average on my personal best game ever scale...wich involves lots of platypus mobs to fight, opposums and talking rocks...but i wont get into that

    No mention of Vanguard. The hype machine for this game was going for years before it's release...

    Is it really that necessary to list games that are overhyped due to forum threads?

    Seriously, it's just a game. There probably has been hype on other forums, not just this. o.O
