Video Game Tourneys and Mmo Guilds

I've been told I'm somewhat wrong about DDO, and the majority of dungeons are free to play. All the low level (first region) dungeons are free, and only at high levels are there lots of non-free ones.

Well the thing about DDO is that it is free, however it's got a bunch of perks if you buy stuff. If one were to play the game for free and never pay for anything in the game it's still actually possible to do just about everything.

The digital money they use in their feature shop "Turbine points" can actually be earned in game. ( I'm not sure if any other game has ever done this ) Of course earning enough to afford the bigger items can be pretty darn taxing. Thus they also have the option of sharing purchased quests with your friends through things called "Quest Passes." Thus allowing a player that has never given the game a dime to play any and all dungeons, free or not.

I actually have a VIP account on DDO.



As far as Nestalgia, how does being in a group actually work? do you actually have 1 person leading the caterpillar and the other guys just choosing their action in battle?





But that's all guilding, if we're talking tourneys, I'd think the community would be more interested in strat games than fighting or FPS games. Am I wrong? Any thoughts?

I'd love to do a multiplayer campaign for Total War. But that would require me to buy the latest Total War, hehe.

IT's looking like a team fortress 2 tourney and a ddo guild thus far. Will the next few days change the polls or will we be team fortressing soon?

I vote against DDO and TF2 on the grounds my computer hates both. TF2 not so much, but still laggy as all get out.

—- So anyway, how are you?

And you're welcome to do so, but I'd welcome some other suggestions that don't kill computers. (are you sure you haven't tried just turning the graphics way way down?) Maybe some older games? Can Command and Conquer be played online? Or maybe one of the early civilizations? Quake?

Older, non-graphics intensive games that are free to play? Hmm...

Syndicate (Not the new one)
Dune 2000
Blood - Does this actually have online multiplayer?
System Shock

This is newer, but not very graphics intensive and is also free:

UFO: Alien Invasion



EDIT: If Dune 2000 can be played online, I don't see why Command and Conquer can't be played online as well.

Yes, exactly. Non-leader party members can also cast spells/use items out of battle, but pretty much nothing else (you used to be able give items to other party members but they made that subscriber-only very recently). Party members also miss out on most NPC text, and have to leave the party to use a shop :(



Yes. Age of Empires. Only FPS I play is Half Life.

I'm supporting LotRO and DFO on the grounds that if you wanted to you could enjoy every byte of in game content without paying one red cent. Granted, there'd be more work in LotRO than DFO, (DFO's a korean brawler-rpg-smashup,) but possible.

starcraft anyone (or any other Blizzard game for that matter)

also, I'll throw my vote in for system shock II (not sure how many people can play though, and if more than two would even be challenging?)

I can't add to the poll anymore because there's already votes.
So starcraft and System shock would have to be write in votes.
