Or you could just go to a public place and talk to people...

ur idea is already done by EA, sims online.

Furcadia? Actually it''s a lot more than a chat room, although EQ players like to joke about it being useless.

Yea that''s the one. Sorry if I described it wrong I just read a bit about it, downloaded it and didn''t like it too much. Mind you I never gave it a real chance (5 mins isn''t long enough )

www.there.com

quote: Ok. Where is "game" in chat? And why does 3d constitute a game? MMO(RPG) MMO(whatever) is just a piece of shit acronym that people never should have invented in the first place.

Are you actively trying to troll? Being anti-everything doesn''t make you cool. It doesn''t make you seem like you know what you''re talking about.

quote: MMO means: Massively (Wtf does massively mean anyfark?) Multiplayer Online if you add Game to this you have a MMOG.

...excuse me while I laugh. Alright. See, what is the acronym for Role Playing Game? Come on, it''ll come to you. Very good! RPG! Now, does ten thousand-ish players constitute "massive"? Yes. Is it a multiplayer environment? Yes. Is it online? Yes. Let''s put everything together. Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game! Very good!

quote: Personally I think MOG works much better but what the fark to I know.

Little.

...some lame attempt to be "funny" by Edward Ropple...

Vonderful. You see I hate the word "massively." No I am not trying to troll. I just hate totally made up words.

"Massive Multiplayer Online" (Insert something else here) sounds a lot better than "Massively." And yes I do know what RPG means.

Lol, furcadia is useless... I have been sayign this since like 1998 now, before EQ came out, and way before I played EQ. Who wants to JUST chat, sure EQ is community driven, but only cause you have to interact with people to get good at trading or leveling.

Technically, that's probably right, Massively is an adverb.

I'm not sure whether multiplayer is a noun (sounds like it should be, 'player' is) or not, it's definitely not a verb, but it could be an adjective. If it is an adjective then Massively is correct (although Massive would work too).

However, personally I think 'Massively Multiplayer Online' sounds better.

EDIT:

Language is always relevant.

Please don''t be a troll... it''s hardly useless, since people do play there, have played there since before Everquest, and will probably play there long after Everquest has given way to the next big thing. Never underestimate the power of the niche market.
