I know this thread dates back a while but I hope you can help a newly interested person to gaming.

Rather than asking an open ended question, could you please give specifics for online gaming. Like what computer specification are needed eg graphics, processing speed and gaming/joystick etc?

Thanks.

ask for tips and i will try and help!

Things you need:

If its a free to play game, no need to buy game card to play.
If its a not free to play game, buy game card when it already require you. (newly registered user are allowed to play 30 hrs/ 30 days for free before the required to use game card.

You need to know first the types of characters in the game; choose the character that will fit your personality (Im a fast-attacker; close combat guy!)

When you already have information about it, you can now play! (BE CAREFUL ON DISTRIBUTING/BUILDING YOUR CHARACTER)

GOODLUCK!

Thank you for that. I really needed more detail than that. I play games online and would like to set up my computer with specs that will enable me to play any game online or any game that I buy both now and in the future. Is there a minimum specification requirement?

For the hard core gamer and taking into consideration the evolution of games, in lets say 2 years time would the specs on your rig take a game of the future?

Hello again MK Gamers
Thank you for all your advice. However, I still feel like I am in the dark where gaming is concerned.
Sorry I did not come back sooner, I totally forgot I placed this post and was about to place another in the same vein but thought to check what was on the forum.
Right back to business, at the moment I am playing games online, here on the forum and from CD-ROM, with a normal everyday mouse. I find it restrictive. Should I be using a joystick or gamepad? If so, which ones are the best? Do I need a different stick/pad dependent on the game I am playing?
I am currently playing a flying/swimming/running/skateboarding/driving game and cannot progress through due to the lack of versatility of the keyboard. With other games I use a mouse and find the same restictions.
I do not have a clue about where to start when considering a joystick or gamepad for a PC. Advice is much needed.
When that is sorted then we can talk gaming hardward, although by then I probably will have worked that one out! .................. yeah right!!!!
