I'd like to bring to your attention the Roll of Resurrection: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/services/scroll-of-resurrection/

Basically another account re-invites you into the game, they get a new mount, you get a lvl 80 char and some other boosts.

(also stabbing people never gets boring)

I was told many times while attempting to play WoW that "the game doesn't begin until you hit the cap." And they're right. The grind to the level cap is just plain dull. I don't level fast enough to reach the "fun" before the boredom kills it for me.

If you want an MMO that's trying the whole no levels thing The Secret World is currently in production and supposed to be out in June

Lesbians in hats! GENIUS!

Btw, try World of Tanks

@Ye Old Nerfnow Fan:
The joke isn't "she sticks to tf2". The joke is that it's a lot of time and work to get to a point most would consider the main game of WoW.
Much like the first joke was also not about "going back to TF2" it was about how other platforms have problems PCs don't.

[url=#user_comment_118754]@Tk[/url]: no. They made the game worse. It caters to the most failing, uneducated morons and slackers, who can't be bothered to play correctly. If they went solo to quest, fine. But them getting in goups? Most people are decent players who are gemmed and enchanted, getting group ruining retards.

This isn't the first time that the "engie-tan sticks with TF2" joke is used...

If you like DOTA and TF2 you should be looking into SUPER Monday Night Combat. I've heard good things from people who play DOTA that tried it out, and I haven't even touched TF2 since I got it.

WoW has 3x experience if you play with the friend who invited you, with this you can easily reach the lvl cap in 2-3 weeks playing about 1-2 hour per day.

Leveling is a non issue now. And there's a whole lot less grinding since death wing, most quests involve shooting around on flying bikes with ladies.

A game business wanting to make money? Perish the thought.

They've done loads to improve the game.

[url=#user_comment_118418]@Eeroz[/url] I am waiting for the release. I hope this will be a good MMO.

Also, if you dont like levelling, I must say I dont quite get why you'd start playing a MMORPG in the first place. Its part of the fun, its not supposed to be a chore. Mind you, I get why some people woudnt like it but once again, in that case, dont play MMORPG!

I never got any mods for WoW. Since when are those necessary? Also, gold stopped being an issue like two expansion ago, you really never run out of gold in WoW unless you spend most of it on non-combat pets from the AH.

Well Guild Wars 2 shouldn't be too far away. :D
It's in Beta right now

[url=#user_comment_118688]@Radsta[/url]: Wait, this game isn't dead yet? AFAIK, the developers are more concerned about sqeezing money out of the players and don't do anything to make the game better.

Jo, you should try Allods Online. The level cap is only 51, but it's kinda the equivalent of WOW lvl 80. So less time spent leveling, plus you only have to grind gold from around level 40+, until then you don't really need to and can just enjoy leveling.

S4 LEAGUE IS THE BEST GAME OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!

glad i quit WoW xD i refuse to pay for another expansion especially when it has friggin pandas >.< lol

If they redid the battle system like KoA:rec I know Jo'd probably love the hell out of WoW

[url=#user_comment_118617]@Meh[/url] it's because they didn't have much money to work with

Ah! The youth of these days...

When you grow up, some don't want/have time to play a game that needs so much attention. We need speed and duels; and it was how LoL entered my life...

LoL, Jo. LOL.

[url=#user_comment_118607]@Foxy[/url]: I played Vindictus.

Engie-tan looks a little bonier than usual.

TSW has one horrid flaw: FunCom. After they left AoC twisting in the wind the way they did, I'm staying away from their games. If they shit on players once, chances are they'll do it again.

Hey, Jo! Do you ever play any free MMO's?

mods? BAH

and you can get the gold just by leveling without spending

the leveling CAN be a drag in places, sure, but the reward of getting to the endgame? wonderful!

and now the average joe CAN see the endgame bosses, even if they are horribly neutered and toned down in raid finder mode...

Ugh, why is that Max Head not Pink as Hell?

Lets see, a game without grinding?
The graphics is nothing like in TF2 or DoTA, but i play Rumble Fighter and Lost Saga :3

GW2 seems to break away from the gear and level treadmill.

Or Eve Online...

Gathering skills give you tons of exp now, and pvp is a very healthy dose of exp on the weekends.

I don't see myself ever making a new character again after the Monk though. A healer, tank, and rogue dps was enough for me.. I play tf2 when I need real challenge to be honest!

Well, it certainly doesn't escapes from the grind and levelling paradigm, neither is it worth your money yet in it's incomplete state, but FFXIV certainly appeals to the whole 'try all classes' thing with it's Armory System, it's one of the things about that game I thoroughly enjoy.

In my experience with games, I can soundly say that level grinding is a b%@#*.

I love my Max hat. Makes enemy spies disguised as me spot so easy.

so, are you any good at dota yet?

So, this is the new talent system? Meh. The old one was a bit more complicated, but that's what made it interesting. And this... Well, it just looks too casual. Haven't played WoW since BC though, so I don't know what's going on there at the moment.

loving how you mention dota...like you enjoy playing it...like you are good at it...like you aren't feeding in every single game :P

Dota and TF2 sucks.....

Consider for a moment, the new MechWarrior game coming out - mwomercs.com

From what's been released so far, it's gonna have some levelling aspects, and you pick between set roles, but you're free to flit from one role to another (though it's encouraged to focus one levelling one set of skills).

I stopped wow for these reasons :-)
Now I'waiting for Gw2 to have fun again with my friends who are waiting Gw2 to have fun again...

*adding a detail i forgot to mention in my post below*

Free to play as in, pay once and dont pay to keep playing.

[url=#user_comment_118462]@shanie[/url] OMFG YES! Planetside 2 is going to be beast! This time its going to be free to play! CANT WAIT!

maxy is eating a hat >.>

Maxy! =D (Third Panel)

leveling a character was most of the adventure for me in WoW. Once I got to the cap I quit. Came back after WolK, got to the cap....quit again. Running the end game dungeons repeatedly bored me.

Yeah, I'd agree with the lower poster with Secret World. However, lets just break away from the whole RPG market and cater to the MMOFPS. Planetside 2, anyone?

Methinks I'd love to see a GW2 Engi-tan. New MMO, new mechanics, new engi-tan! What's not to love? :D

I gave up WoW shortly after WotLK.

I used to love the warcraft series, but then they hacked and butchered it to pieces with the MMO.

GW2? Meh, im not excited for that one. I think im going to give "The Secret World" a try. That one looks interesting.

There's GW2 coming soon. No monthly sub, just buy it and play it whenever you feel like.
Also no need to level characters and you can play any class and there's good pvp.

"and bags" I'm pretty sure you'll be able to afford 4 16-slotters. They're pretty cheap on every server. If you don't go two zones without selling your junk items, that's enough.

"Level the character" It'll take time but it's not that bad, and Cataclysm made most of the leveling easier.
"Gold for mounts" again, optional. purely cosmetic, even. Do you mean riding training? Shoot, I'm sure somebody'd be willing to pay for you since it's not much.

"Buy the expansions" valid complaint
"install it" Um, couldn't you say the same for DOTA and TF2?
"Download the mods" Um, don't think that's legal. You mean addons? They're optional, Engie, optional, no right or wrong way to do it.

if you wont somthing new then se this http://www.thesecretworld.com/

You make it sound harder than it really is.

Hey, so far I like star wars for the change of pace, at least leveling a different character has a different base storyline, you get some of the old was rinse repeat play, but the storyline and characters are different, with different responses too. Still not perfect... but getting better.

Well ddo has quite little grind unless you get into TR scheme or party with TRed players. though sadly on end levels it gets quite grindy if you want epic gear to do epic quests even more easy.but i usually reroll some other char at that point.

I can see MMORPGs moving away from some of the more grindy aspects of the genre - eg. GW2 hopefully - but I don't know if the idea of leveling (or, more generally, progression, which you don't necessarily need the specific mechanic of leveling to obtain) will leave.. it's an RPG staple.

I thought she had a Lofi Longwave!

you asshole make comics.....

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXEEEEETH also wow sucks more money then hoookers like gabe

I'm happy you've caught the Dota 2 bug Jo. There's so many iconic characters in the game right now and wait till Valve makes a few introductory "Meet the.." videos for the first few of them like they said they would. It does not matter how big of a wall of text other games have for character bios.

"MMORPG will break away from the vicious gripe of levels and grind."

Guild wars 2? *fingers crossed*

well hi everyone i really enjoy these comics and hope you have a great day

Yep.avi

uhhh....First?
