General Discussion

Everyone here has a "Main" MMO that they spend most of their gaming time on (if not all of it).

My question is, do you have a "back-up" game that you keep active just in case your current game pisses you off or the devs of your game pull a "revamp" and chase you away?

I play WoW, however, I have my LOTRO subscription active "just in case".

I never used to have this mentality until I went through the SWG NGE debacle.

Anyone else??

atm im playing nothing, but a month ago my main game was Lineage2 and i had WoW as a backup.

I also went through the SWG NGE fiasco ..... not sure if it influenced my decision to get a backup game.

i have over 30 games installed on this machine.

sometimes i need the adrenaline of UNREAL or flatout ultimate carnage.

other times i feel fallout 3 or even gothic 3 are more the right speed.

long and short of it is i have alot of games titan quest for example that have been there a long time that i kind of "whittle" on.

i play 15+ hours a day, though rarely on 1 game. i think wow is the online version of toilet paper so that isnt 1 of the games, but i have all SOE games installed and most NC soft games, 2 turbine games, about 10 indies, 5 betas (this week), and a wide range of other not counting full libraries of all emulators upto dreamcast +MAME.

its like hunter s thompson said about drug collections...except with games instead.

I play a pserver of my first mmorpg when there is nothing else to play. Like now I have not one mmorpg worth playing as I get bored of them too easily.

If anyone knows any games that look similar to; Legend of Mir/Myth of Soma

Please inform me I guess it's 'similar' to diablo and I'm in dire need of a new fix to a game like this while I wait for D3

I casually play CoX at the moment.  There's nothing impressive or interesting about the game but it has a decent sized subscriber base and it isn't fantasy.

That being said, I guess Guild Wars is my fallback even though I always get bored to tears with it after just a few weeks.  Plus the character customization blows.

Really though, I'm just killing time until the Earthrise beta later this year.

CoH is my backup game.

No regular game...let alone a back up.

Don't play anything at the moment and and haven't touched an mmo in over 4-5 months.  I never had multipler subscriptions to mmos.  I usually play one untill I no longer have any interest then cancel, open another and play it till the fun "dries up" and then move again.

For, honestly.  Atlantica Online.  Im in no way a fan of asian game, but this free-to-play rts/mmo with pretty much everything player-driven, including economy and pvp, hasn't bored me yet.  I decided to restart on their Argos (newest server) because its a fresher population.

My backup is Requiem Online.  Unfortunetly I don't have a main cause games are getting boring now.  So Requiem is kind of my main although I play it casually.
