Haven't played in nearly a month. Me and my friend logged in tonight and the first thing we did was attend a small in game rave in Polyvinyl. It was pretty sweet. He was already there, dancing with some girl. I showed up and he was stripped down to his under-roos. I jumped on the stage, hit /dance4 - and turned on my radio - set to DI.fm - Drum & Base.
The night went on and we were telling jokes and just shooting the breeze while we watched everyone dance. I maanged to win 1.5 million info by being the best dressed guy an answering a few trivia questions.
These in game raves are one of the coolest things I've ever seen in an MMO. It shows a real sense of community and is just a sampling of what I believe we can expect to see as MMOs evolve.
After about an hour or so of "raving", we went and did a few missions. Problem is, I'm like 5 levels higher than my bud, so he died alot. Oh well, I think we still managed to get him a ton of xp and I found some cool new clothes to wear.
Its all about the clothes man! I carry a ton of extra shirts, pants, jackets, hats, and sun glasses just so I can change what I'm wearing based on what I'm doing or my mood.
If you want lots of customization in the way your character looks. MxO is the game. I have yet to run into someone that actually looks like me. There are so many clothing options.
Anyway - every time I play and end up at a Rave. Makes me long for the days when I wasn't a responsible father and I could go out late and dance to some kickin trance until the sun rose. Oh well! At least I can kick back, turn on some streaming trance or D&B station and watch my cyber self roooooooll!
