Title: Online gaming options
Post by: EThugg on May 24, 2001, 11:15:44 PM
Which do you think is best? I voted for "Just your ISP". Why pay for a ISP and extra fees for each game? That\'s a waste of $$ IMO.

They can get their money from ads in chat rooms.  They don\'t need to charge a monthly fee.

Well, seems everyone who was fighting with me is behind... only 1 person said they\'d pay for PlayOnline....

Ugh, if I had to make a choice, I would just pay for the ISP.

I hope I can just use my current ISP, though, as I have cable and am pretty happy with the service.

Either way, I am willing to pay anything for online, whether they force us to do both, or just one or the other.  I\'m with The Dragons.

ISP would be a better thing to do IMO.

Who ever voted for pay for Playonline deserves to be shot for their stupidity.

I voted for "I don\'t play online" since I don\'t like playing with people I don\'t know and it\'s not as fun as playing with your friends at your house. Online gaming is dumb IMO.

online gaming is NOT dumb.... if it was there wouldn\'t be any online only games (Asheron\'s Call, EverQuest, Motor City Online, Tribes)..... Online multiplaying is very big and has been very successful..... its actually very smart and can be very fun!

yeah, its really fun to play with friends.... shouting around the house and just having a good time!

but can you do it everyday?!

AIs are sometimes really stupid in games and I\'d much rather play with people who know what they are doing!

oh... i vote for PSOnline... i ain\'t giving any more money than i already am for my cable modem... they just raised the price here in Los Angeles, too!

Intresting to see that there was almost the same amount of people that voted for
Pay small fee regularly, like PlayOnline   3  VOTES
I won\'t be playing online games   4 VOTES

Nice to seethat there are sensible Humans out there who have heard of the phrase.

"there is NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH !".
