Do you play multiplayer online games?

[CartCollector]

Not as in you download a game from the Internet or play those stupid, constantly-updated Flash puzzle games (**cough** Bejeweled **cough**). Online simultaneous, like EverQuest or Halo. I just got an network adapter kit and wireless router (approx. $140 w/o tax) for my PS2 and will hook it up... after I hook the router up. Networking is such a pain.

On a related topic, I haven't seen the GameCube online kits in a while. Wonder if they're getting rare. Possible collectors item. (Next NES 2, perhaps?) If someone could give me sales figures, that would be great.

I Play Everquest and Everquest2 takes up most all my game time but i get on Xbox live also sometimes. Truth be told my ass load of classic games have alot of dust on them, I almost regret starting everquest but i enjoy it alot. I am going to have to make somemore time for my consoles again. Seems like i am on a cycle, spend alot of time on the old stuff and take a break and i always come back.

Yea, I play Everquest still, have for almost 5 years. I play UT2K4 sometimes also. I'm looking to get into Halo2 also.

Nothing but Enemy Territory for me.

Best. Game. Ever.

Ive also thought about getting a network adaptor for my ps2, but it would probably be too much work changing my network to fit a ps2 in (currently 2 computers connected with a 15m crossover cable with ADSL on the main computer).

used to be a huge fan of ragnarok online in the day....

No, I don't believe in paying $40 for a game, then having to pay more to be able to play it.

Plus I enjoy the achievement of actually beating a game

I have played Phantasy Star Online 1 and 2.

Never online though.

I have played Unreal Tournament, Warcraft III and a couple others in LANs, but not too often.

Basically, if it isn't people that I know, I'm not interested in playing with them. The only reason why Xbox live has been sort of tempting me is the ability to make groups of friends and then I'd get to play online with people from the boards or people that I know, which is wayyyy more tempting.

When you pay per month you are paying for the servers to not turn into battle.net servers. A worthy donation. It keeps the servers running clean, provides updates, and protection from hacks. I would have a hard time playing a MMORPG that was free because the problems are too numberous. Also it keeps out a lot of the riftraft middleschooler l33t hax0rz scriptkiddie punks because they won't pay. $12 a month is totally unnoticable, don't be cheap

Shooters on the otherhand, why on earth would anyone pay per month for those. Even though you are kinda paying for it per month with the internet.

Hmm, that reminds me. I bought enemy territory a year ago and have yet to open the box. I should play it.

[ubersaurus]

Considering that Halo 2 is about all I've been playing for the past month, yes. Yes I do

Steel Battalion: Line of Contact (only playable online via Xbox Live) has owned my nutsack for the last six months. Which is good in a way, because it's kept me from buying other games for a bit.

You know, I should pick that up. I know like 3 other people with it, and Steel Battalion is sweet.

[Mr. Smashy]

I have played the PC, Xbox, PS2, and GameCube online. Maybe someday, I'll be able to add the Dreamcast to that list.

[Retsudo]

On the PS2 I play Socom 2. On the PC I play Joint Operations, Call of Duty, Delta Force Blackhawk Down, Age Of Empires 2, and Ghost Recon.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I did play gunbound for a little while, it was pretty fun.

[Lady Jaye]

You should have an option "I don't play online games because I prefer playing offline". It has nothing to do with the generation of games.

Anyway, I never play online. The only time I ever did, was a game of chess off Yahoo against my best friend after he moved away to Vancouver.

[XxMe2NiKxX]

Who's the wiseass who said they played gamecube online?

[Lady Jaye]

Well, there is Phantasy Star Online Episodes I+II, as well as Phantasy Star Online III... (is there really any other game that can be played online with the Cube?)

Well, with warp pipe you can play mario kart and kirby's air ride online, but that's about it.

I've heard that a SB:LOC LAN party will rock your boxers. I think it'd be a hell of a thing just to see.
