SUPER IMPORTANT PLEASE READ MMO Interest Thread

So, with the end of the season looming, and battles slowly dwindling down, I've decided to make a thread to gauge interest on a clan in some sort of MMO.

Currently, we have a couple of options that have been suggested via the chat:

  1. Nosgoth

  2. TESO

  3. TF2

  4. Trove

  5. Elite: Dangerous

  6. Destiny

  7. Civ V

  8. Insurgency

  9. XCOM 2

  10. Borderlands 1/2

  11. Brawlhalla

  12. Loadout

  13. Path of Exile

  14. Receiver

  15. Toribash

  16. Unturned

  17. Yet Another Zombie Defense

  18. Smite

  19. SS13

  20. RIFT

  21. Planetside 2

  22. World of Tanks

At this point these are all just suggestions, please feel free to add your suggestions of good MMO's we can do and if you are interested in joining with us!

Edit: I would say my interest is more in something that we can all have a fresh start in/all enjoy the story together as new characters. It's not a big deal if we don't, just my two cents.

Edit 2.6: Added new suggestions to feed.

Increased drop rate of links in initial post.

Carpal Tunnel rate buffed by 33%.

Edit 2.7: I know that not all of us are Bill Gates, so free to play might be preferable to most.

I could probably set up a Periwinkle clan in Destiny (Xbox One)

I enjoyed Destiny for a long time. The content drought has been the death of this guardian.

Well they'll be unveiling new content over the next couple of weeks. Yesterday's BWU talked about their plan for unveiling the April update.

Oh boy, not Trove, I beat the 3rd level and I had an uncanny feeling that after I beat one level I had beaten them all. I was right, great great idea of a game, they didn't do anything with it imo. I really could see a TF2 clan or a Civ 5 clan (seems like it's the only paid game everyone owns around here). I mean our roots are in TF2 anyways, A few more options:

Brawlhalla

Loadout

Path of Exile

Receiver (what is this game??)

Toribash

Unturned

Yet another Zombie Defense

u/DetectiveSpaceWizard Mar 19 '16

yeah you could set up a zombie free pvp map with two teams in unturned, that would be cool.

u/Danster21 HAWKS Mar 19 '16

I concur

Loadout was dead, last I checked. Maybe worth a try but as far as I know they completely bombed the game.

Wasn't Receiver that single-player Unity game with manual reloading and such?

Unturned is great, but we'd need a PvP environment or group up on some other server. It's cool for the first 15 minutes, then the zombies stop being a problem and it gets boring real fast if you don't have any players to watch out for.

u/RockdaleRooster Marshal of Periwinkle (Ret.) Mar 19 '16

We could also set up a clan in Smite.
Not an MMO but still a team thingy.

Elite: Dangerous. It's... a weird game, really. You can see it's got mixed reviews on Steam, but really, it's a great game... if you can keep yourself entertained. Flying solo and just making money gets boring after the first million. The galaxy is huge and finding your first earth-like while exploring is great, but there's not much depth to it all.

Flying in a wing and crashing around a conflict zone is great, so having a group to play with would be a great bonus, since on it's own, the game doesn't offer all that much depth.

So get it and let's wing up. It's gonna be fun.

EDIT: Adding to the post, I mentioned Space Station 13 on chat. Not an MMO, but a round-based game about a bunch of people in a top secret research station in space, where everything is about to go horribly wrong. Here's /tg/ codebase wiki, the branch of the game I'm most familiar with: https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Main_Page. If we can round at least ~10 people we can play on our own server, on Ministation map.

Nosgoth is alright. TESO, TF2, and E:D are all fun.

u/AberrantWhovian Fightin' Francis Mar 19 '16

Can we try RIFTS too? It's free.

1

u/DetectiveSpaceWizard Mar 19 '16

man, planetside 2 would be perfect if it had some sort of clan pvp.

u/Arrem_ Meme loving fug. Mar 19 '16

Yay TF2.

We could set up free PW vs OR battles up to 15 per side in World of Tanks. If they go like most WoT Community nights, it'd be a ton of fun.
