Other then WoW, what's the best MMO-RPG out there?

[Ualaa]

The game is just getting annoying.
Single boxing is boring to the point of not being worth playing the game.
Multiboxing made it fun again, but the last two major patches require reinstalls.
Which is bullshit, bottom line.

If you symlink, there are two files you may need to delete off children wow's -- patch2.mpq in data and patch-enUS-2.mpq in data\enUS -- the patcher deletes these files from 3.09 installs. What I do is have a "virgin" wow folder that I don't actually use to play, it just is where I do all the updates and addons download and stuff, then I have 5 other wow folders (4 symlinked to 1) where I do my multiboxing, that way if anythign ever gets trashed I can go back to my virgin copy and copy stuff around. It also lets you do quick diffs on patch days and see exactly what changed, so you can get things cleaned up quickly.

I am with you Prepared. I dont copy the wow directory at all and run four instances off the same directory. They all have different wtf folders so nothing gets all fubar'ed. I havent seen any degradation due to not going to the trouble of symlinking, by comparing framerates.

Once again - this is an isolated problem with you. Not the game.

On second thought if you wanna try something else I would rather wait for Aion and stick to WoW for the meatime

I havn't patched yet but I ususaly have no problems. I also do what the others say, have a single wow directory on all 6 of my computers, and just update each computer, no symlinks or anythings.

I am sure all the addons are going to break so I doubt i gonna log in for a few days untill they sort all that out.

I have a single wtf folder that has sub folders for each of my 31 guys that i copy to all my computers (after I do things to the files) from my main computer and have like 10 back up copies so I not going to lose anything.

Aion is looking hot hot hot though.

I think you're doing it wrong.

The only time I've had to reinstall was when some of my data corrupted, and that only happened....once?

[Ulta]

Damn, I just checked out that Aion game. I'm impressed.. :thumbsup: Those damn Koreans know how to make video games!

I remember years ago I played a free korean game called MU Online that game was hella good for a free game.

[Ualaa]

Last time, the data was corrupted.
This time, no clue what the culprit is.

I wouldn't say 10,000,000 have no issues.
If you check the technical support forums, my post was booted to the 40th page within 15 minutes of posting.
Over a hundred players have posted the exact same issue, within a few hours of the patch.
So there are a significant number of players with issues regarding 3.1.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion on Aion, will check it out.

Any suggestions on another game?
