Same here, i fucking love mount and blade, i still play it on steam. Civ 5 is really addictive as well, battlefield 2 bad company (just becaus i love sniping people from the other side of the map).. thats about what im playing nowdays

M&B online is ridiculously fun. I've had epic 1v1 duels with friends that lasted forever. Great PVP because everyone has the same equipment and only skill and some luck win you duels.

bevor PoE i was "horribly" addicted to World of Tanks

FFXIV. The completionist in me must finish the game. End-game content is generally fun and farming, while tediously boring, is refreshing with Japanese players. Everyone is so polite, nobody rages, mostly skillful.

Hearing people sing a different tune on the NA/EU worlds though.

Battlefield 3
AS VAL & XBow

Dungeons and Dragons 3.5. This past month I have for the first time been playing some table top D&D and I am utterly obsessed with it. Yes I am 32 years old and playing D&D for the first time and its glorious and the most fun i have had playing a game in a long time.


as for video games nothing really I enjoy PoE but I wouldnt say i was addicted to it. The only 2 video games i have ever been addicted to was WoW and Team Fortress Classic.

Dominions 4 is my addiction now. For those that don't know, it's an incredibly deep and complex strategic wargame.

Here's some highlights:

Many monsters (2000+) and many many special abilities.
An extensive magic system with over 800 spells.
About 75 different nations to choose from, varying from Marignon with paladins, witch hunters and inquisitors to under water nations like the Lovecraft inspired R'lyeh.
More than 300 magic items.
Three Eras to play in, Early era is most magic and the late era is more technologically advanced with good steel weapons and armors.
Design your pretender god and how his dominion influences provinces and his sacred units.
Multiplayer with simultaneous turns (up to 28 players).
Teamplay with one Pretender player and a bunch of Disciple players per team.
Network or Play by E-Mail for multiplayer.
AI opponents for single- or multiplayer game.
Random maps with cave, mountain passes and rivers (rivers can only be passed when frozen).
Blood magic, power your rituals with human sacrifices.
Global ritual that affect the entire world.
Unique magic artifacts that all players compete for, once forged no one else can make it.
Mercenaries are bought on a global market.
Scouts, Assassins, Spies, Seducers, Corruptors, Werewolves, Illusionists and more can be sneaking in your provinces.
Claim the thrones of Ascension to gain special powers and eventually win the game.
Permanent battle afflictions.
Easy to Mod (2d graphics)
Playable on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.

At first glance, the game looks like shit, but the graphics will grow on you. I love the wide variety of 2D sprites. With so much content, high quality graphics wouldn't be feasible.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.

Magic the gathering (standard league) currently. Playing for free on http://www.lackeyccg.com/ server whenever i can, which is VERY often. I used to have a hundred thousand cards, online its so much more fun when rarity doesnt mean squat so everyone has a fair chance.
For a decade i was horribly addicted MUDs. The first of online games. To this day i have yet to find better gameplay. Check out http://www.dcastle.org/, http://lensmoor.org/, or http://www.projectbob.org/ if you want a taste. Homebrews by ppl with passion are so superior to the corporate bullshit that they force down our throat. If only there were more people playing them, i would return. Perhaps even brew up my own.
For several years i was also a Guild Wars I fanatic. Spending every available moment in pvp. I was the first legit rank 12 gladiator 'Cosmic Voodoo' if you recognize me. Nowadays its a barren wasteland as ppl flocked to the far superior GW2... in all ways except the one that matters most, diversity! The lack of multiclassing killed it in my eyes. They did an absolutely phenomenal job with everything else though.
Occasionally I get into online chess. 'expert' ranking on yahoo. Although i cant say its as addicting as the other things iv mentioned.

Factorio, somebody help me god damn. I haven't seen the world since last friday. Clocking 27 hours of gameplay on current mission and this is supposed to be alpha version with little content lol.
