Ah, all this talk of various games brings out the nostaligia.

I'm always late to jump on bangwagons [@Vec], since I only started League a few months ago if you remember that from the OOC. But anyways what makes you say the game is dead? I'm aware that it had more players at one point, but there's still a sizeable base, new champions are coming out, and the meta is probably in a good place since most champions seem viable (From what I've heard, that definitely wasn't the case in past seasons).

[@Kho] We do have similar taste, believe it or not! My feelings on Total War and Crusader Kings are the same, though until CK3 co,es out (if it ever does) I'm playing mostly EU4. Though thematically I love CK, it just lacks the sheer strategic depth that EU4 has and thus I no longer enjoy the gameplay very much.

I really like RuneScape's storyline. It was my first MMORPG and every year or two I play it again for a phase of a few months to check out new content. I try to make all of my characters with a myriad of influences, but Lucien from RuneScape and the fire demon from Bound by Flame (a great game btw) were probably the two biggest influences for Ialu.

I used to like WoW for the gameplay and have played it since mid Burning Crusade, but that game peaked for me with Wrath of the Lich King. I'm debating whether I even care enough to try Legion when it's released.

Best standalone RPG is still probably Zelda. :lol Ocarina of Time was the first game I really got into, and Wind Waker is just the best thing ever (though I seem alone in my adoration of that game's sailing and exploration theme).
