do any of you play this game? . . .

come check out my place. . . i live in mt. fugi, my name is (of course) Connor Kimbro . . . looking for roommates also, if you're interested, i've got a pretty nice lot, and a bunch of cool stuff, i could use a few more things though. it's a place where people come to get skills and stuff. eventually i'll want to put in job machines too. . .

Shouldn't you be playing starcraft or something?

Zero · November 30, 2003, 09:36

or tekken soul calibur or Virtua fighter.

connorkimbro · November 30, 2003, 09:43

Comrade: Do you for some reason think that I am Korean?

zero: i have soul calibre 2 for xbox, it's tons of fun. never played the others though.

also i've been recently playing Amped 2, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004, and also Final Fantasy X (again. . . getting ready to get FF X-2)

Zero · November 30, 2003, 10:21

you live in korea though.

OMG I would be playing so much SC2 if I was in korea.

Korean people are sick!

Never played The Sims Online... I lost interest as soon as I heard it had a monthly fee...

Dis · November 30, 2003, 19:44

as I said in the other thread, I wanted to play, but then learned it had a monthly fee.

I wanted to go around annoying people- as I do in real life

connorkimbro · November 30, 2003, 23:36

it's a lower monthly fee than most other online games.

and it's very addictive.

But you used to live in the states, right??

Are you in Korea with the army??

connorkimbro · December 1, 2003, 12:59

I am a U.S. soldier living in korea, yes. For only 2 more weeks, and then i go to Ft. Campbell kentucky.

comrade: plenty of people put the flag of the country they're in, and not the flag of their nationality.

sorry, i just assumed you knew more about me, i thought you knew i was in the army.

Rasputin · December 1, 2003, 13:03

always struggled getting into the sims in first place is the online experience the same, better or worse, what is the monthly fee they charge for this ??

connorkimbro · December 1, 2003, 13:05

personally, i think it's better because you can chat with and meet other people at the same time. kind of like a virtual reality chat room, almost.

its 9.99 US dollars a month.

you can try it for a month for free also

ok will investigate this on weekend and see if i like it or not

thanks for the invite

Adagio · December 1, 2003, 14:22

One month free? I might try it out... next month after the exams... I doubt my teachers will be happy about me spending 24 hours a day for a whole month just to get everything from TSO tested

Rasputin · December 2, 2003, 10:23

nor your parents me exopects .....

Dis · December 2, 2003, 15:56

I wonder if this game will ever hit a bargain bin. That combined with the first month free might make it worth it.

MattH · December 2, 2003, 18:16

It's already $5/10 at most stores. But you still have the fee...

Perhaps your overlooking the fact that the first whole month is free.

Dis · December 3, 2003, 00:05

I'd probably be bored of it in a month anyways. So I may pick this us. Annoying people for a month will be good enough for me.

But there are so many other games I have to play first.

John-SJ · December 4, 2003, 11:14

I understand that The Sims Online is not a role-play game, but do a lot of people role play anyway? Or is it more, come on line, talk about football and the date you had last weekend?

Adagio · December 4, 2003, 11:34

For me it sounds like some giant chat-program...

Dis · December 5, 2003, 04:15

essentually- but you can see better animated avatars

Rasputin · December 8, 2003, 03:51

mmm maybe it a pick up game, chat to a girl, then go meet her LOL

$9.99 a month for a virtual reality chat room

Adagio · December 8, 2003, 12:30

One thing I'm curious about:

I once saw a screenshot about some sims playing football... how does this work?
