MMOs on Steam
 

Once or twice a year I just get in the mood for a MMO. Guess being happy all the time and having free time just doesn't cut for me. Well, this time Steam just happened to add some free MMOs to it's catalog so I might as well make use of it. So, which one of these would NPF recommend?

Forsaken World. It's designed by Perfect World Beijing. Unless someone makes a very good point that's reason enough for me not to try it.

Champions Online. It was the last MMO I played, not bad. Seriously need an eletric Archetype :(

Spiral Knights. Kinda Zelda-ish

and Global Agenda. Shooting stuff, flying with jetpacks.

Spiral Knights has art direction from the Three Panel Soul guy, so I can recommend it on a "You're indirectly supporting a webcomic" angle. Other than that, I dunno.

Spiral Knights looks really neat, if it's actually Zelda-style (Only saw 5 seconds of the video), and I'd be up for playing it if you want someone to play with.

How about adding one of these to the NPF weekends?

I've been enjoying Spiral Knights so far, but I only just made it to Haven. Still it seems pretty cool and it looks like lots of people have already added the games to their Steam accounts.

I'm in for Spiral Knights, I can play it with a controller :D

That doesn't mean I won't play any of the other games, as long as we get a NPF group of some sort, I'm in too :P

EDIT: Hey people who play with the hat powered war simulator, you get a free hat if you play Spiral Knights today :P

EDIT número dos:
It seems EVERYONE has the game in their accounts, even if they haven't downloaded it. My bro has it in his account and he doesn't really use his Steam account a lot :/

Damn you bastards! I'm supposed to be learning physics...

(But just one game... NO! Must... resist...)

Wait, how do you use your controller? I have one, and it does not work. T.T

You have to set the keys in the options :P. I didn't really like how the character controls using a gamepad though :/

I've been considering trying Champions ever since it went free, and Spiral Knights sounds interesting... Guess I'll have to see if any of these new free offerings are Vista-64 compatible.


(Except oh good lord I'll be downloading /installing for months before I'll be able to actually PLAY anything on my interwebs, so I guess we'll see...)

Spiral Knights is actually around 400-500 MB, which is small compared to recent games. Also, it works fine in Win7 64bit so, Vista 64 shouldn't be a problem.
