Downloading it now as I need something to mess around with until Kenshi is updated and/or Shadowrun Returns comes out.

*Forgot how fucking shitty Perfect Worlds whole registration system is.*

Forgotten Realms based D&D MMO. Very actiony combat. Seems mediocre so far, but I'm only lvl 3 so it might get better.

Neverwinter is a free to play action game. It's got a lot of cool AD&D lore and tons of things right from the books and Monster Manual. It also has something called the Foundry for user generated content. The game itself is pretty simple and is more like Diablo but with far better graphics, design, and set in the Forgotten Realms.

I've been playing it the last few days and enjoying it. I'm on Mindflayer.

I've also mapped the controls to my 360 as I've decided I hate mouse clicking nonstop a la Diablo and Torchlight. This works nicely.

I tried it out for a couple of days. *yawn*

Very ADHD and not much AD&D. It's almost an arcade game.

The way MMOs are going I don't understand why someone hasn't made a viable MMO on console. It seems like the most obvious idea that no one is taking. Why are MMO's the providence of PC gaming when no one is playing on PC anymore? Been saying it for years too. Imagine something like Dark Souls as a full online game?

SOE brought DC Universe to PS3 but it's so bad I couldn't even make it through the tutorial. Maybe EQ Next.

I'm level 19 and really enjoying it. It's great for casual play. The grouping is decent, the combat is actiony. Not too deep, but fun. It's really the game Diablo 3 should have been, and the Forgotten Realms setting is pretty cool.

It's not a traditional MMO, but for an action game it's quite good. I still haven't spent a dime, although I'll probably buy a starter pack for the bags.

Wife and I spending a lot of time on this. Yes, it's very hack and slash and initially turned me off but once you dig in, it's quite enjoyable. Bought a 2nd PS4 so wife and I can play side by side in the theater. I have a little box that merges two HDMI streams and creates a split screen view so we each get half of the screen. Fun!
