Online Games...

[GHoSToKeR]

Hmmm.. I don't play video games that often. Well, not at all really. So, what exactly is the definition of an 'online game'? You guys talk about games like Everquest and WoW (whatever that means...), but I don't know what they are. Are they console games, PC games, games on a website, or what? Explain, explain.

Thanks.


Edit: Just found the WoW website (which I now know to mean World of Warcraft) and creating an account. No idea what it is or how to play but i'm bored so yeah.

I play America's Army which is free by the way. Great game and really fun. www.americasarmy.com has the game download as I said before free of charge. Check it out but be warned it is one hell of a download. 750megs I think.

Okay cool. I thought they were like PS2 games that you could play online also. Hehe.. silly GHoST.


Another Edit: Where the fuck am I supposed to get an Authentication Key to play WoW?


More Edits... haha: Thanks for the link, Zero Revolt.

Once you start playing online games, you will never go back to singleplayer (shudders in rememberance) Well maybe not that extreme, but online games are so much better. The competition of playing against other people just enhances the game. WoW and Everquest are MMORPG's: Massively multiplayer online role playing games. I enjoy these games, some people don't. The only games i play are Socom 2 and everquest for ps2 it's hard to balance them out because their so addicting. Have fun.

online gaming is so much more fun, as you can actually rape real people and say "lol pwnt"

one time i landed after killing a random soldier walking thru a field (im an expert pilot in battlefield 2) and buttraped him, and i got banned.

guess its bad to buttrape admins

Are these games (Everquest, WoW, Battlefield 2...) free? How do you sign up to start playing? Help me out here people!

u have to buy the game at a store. cant illegaly pirate it, b/c everyone has to have a different CDkey.

Everquest, and most online RPG's which are "massively multiplayer (thousands at once), cost from $10-$15 a month.

Online shooting games, or any that do not require the company to keep up servers, are just buy the game and your good to go.

Get battlefield 2 if ya like shooting or flying! it roxx.

check out this pic.... i got a chopper with 5 passengers, then hopped out as the pilot, sending them into a firery crash! BWAAAHAHHAHAH!

ownage!

There is a games section at http://www.onlinetv.com/nuke

They are like you play on your consoles, not multiplayer, but you compete against other users.

OnlineTV is free right now as they are just getting started.

Hey, this is my 100th post! 100 pieces of shit on the wall. What a mess.
