Sincerely.<BR/><BR/>It's funny you mention this, because there are two MMORPGs I know of out right now that have both the quality and the "not a time sink" thing down.<BR/><BR/>One is TR, and I hope it stays this way into the later levels. The other is a certain other game that may or may not have anything to do with Pirates.<BR/><BR/>Of the games in the present or immediate future, these two embody "parent-gamer" the most. The thing is, they may or may not be for everyone due to their subject material.<BR/><BR/>Just because I like them, does not mean they have the broad appeal of your everyday Fantasy MMO. I welcome change, others run from it, eh?<BR/><BR/>Regardless, I'll say it right now, both games in their core systems and in their many intracacies offer the kind of gameplay anyone on a tight schedule can find rewarding. Especially if said gamer likes to solo as much as group up.<BR/><BR/>The future looks bright for sure.Bildohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06984263503537727388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935839516034623891.post-89815676877645315132007-11-29T12:25:00.000-05:002007-11-29T12:25:00.000-05:00Hi Brackish. I would like to clarify that I have ...Hi Brackish. I would like to clarify that I have a 7 year old son and a 6 year old daughter. I also have older children that don't really require alot of attention. I also have a a wife of 12 years that requires some attention. I am 32 and have been gaming for a loooong time and I find myself looking for a game that is worth my time and sometimes that can be tough. I have played pretty much every MMO out there but only one stuck with me and that was my first, Final Fantasy 11. That was a few years back and it was a huge time sink. Now I look for games that are "bite-sized" in play time and I have found most of those type games to be single player. I just picked up Mass Effect and it is really good so far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935839516034623891.post-91619357435764096342007-11-29T12:05:00.000-05:002007-11-29T12:05:00.000-05:00Interesting.@Brendon - I feel the same as you do w...Interesting.<BR/>@Brendon - I feel the same as you do with obligations and RL commitments yet I am more in line with Bildo in some aspects of this conversation. <BR/><BR/>Choosing to play a single player or MMO should have nothing to do with time available but it does. I am currently subbed to two games right now: EQ2 and Tabula Rasa. TR i can play for an hour and get enough enjoyment out of it to stop when I want to and know I had my fill of fun for the night. EQ2 constantly pushes my limits of sleep and forces me into a conundrum of even signing on. It is only the friends I have there that keep me going sometimes.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure the age of your "commitments" but I frequently talk about how my son (22 months) has changed my gaming "life". (Okay, enough finger quotes. Sorry.) If there is anything I have learned over the past two years its that if I'm going to play a MMO or even a single player, it needs to make me feel that I can accomplish something that night that also makes me feel that the feeling is going to continue. <BR/><BR/>MMOs are becoming more conscious of people like you and I and you should keep your eyes open and on this blog here as I have no doubt that Bildo will let us know when he has found the MMO that garners the respect and attention of the parent-gamer.brackishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415951783838766212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935839516034623891.post-39198750937720795332007-11-28T15:20:00.000-05:002007-11-28T15:20:00.000-05:00I am kinda glad you posted this exchange.

The issues on joining a game that is well seasoned, liking to group and having to play catch up pretty much hit home.<BR/><BR/>I too am waiting for the next great thing to start out with everyone at the starting stage!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
