Good MMO's these days?

[heavyknight]

Offtopic, but with the mentioning of Vindictus/Mabiheroes, I have a spare early access open beta key if anyone wants it

Though still waiting for the PSU PS to grow. Watching it progress over time is fun.

Games these days just aren't that great anymore.

Though I have been playing Lunia recently. Enhanced view makes it interesting, and after trying it out from when it first came out, then 12fttall, who screwed me over out of my character and character name >>.... and now with ijji, the changes are pretty drastic, and that it's actually arcade-like. You can level pretty fast in it, making it kind of pointless. Still good fun if you have nothing better to do. More fun if you customize your sound effects and character voices. You could Tales it up, etc, etc. The only crappy part is needing to pay to unlock characters, unless you want to go through hell. Though, lucky for me, my characters and playing styles are mostly free, with the exception of earning one with the help of farming. /bored. B>Something to do

Phantasy Star Universe Private server

(and yes there is one, it's just in it's early days and I'll be playing on it soon).

WHAT?
FOR THE PC VERSION?

I bought the PC games and straight after I got them, I read that the official servers were taken down, never got a chance to play them actually (not that it's a big deal, the game is shit (played the PS2 version)), I've never tried online.

Yup for the PC version. It's still in the early beta...well Alpha stages really, but you can login in and chat to people and look around everywhere. thats about it at the moment though.
But it is being developed further they even ahve an IRC they talk about the developement in

I sat in there and"listened" (more liek read) about what they were doing as they were doing it.

whatever do you, dont try world of warcraft first, it raise the standar for later MMO

Grand chase is kinda fun, but i got more interested in DFO after i tried it.

Grand chase plays like a 2D platformer lets say sonic or mario but obviously different gameplay

Also GC has a lot lot of timed item. So if u don't play for 2 weeks for exemple, u come back to have a naked char lol
But there are some infinite duration item that arent as good unless u use real money for some better stuff.

DFO on the other hand as more of a Guardian Heroes (Sega Saturn) style, which is awesome.
You can compare it to games like Battletoad, Final Fight, Street of Rage, Double Dragon etc...
U only need real money to customize ur avatar or be able to auction stuff, although u can still trade for free and avatar item arent necessary unless u want a different look so badly and u need the stats for HIgh end PvP. I can win alot with my lvl 26 Berserker which has no cash item so if/whenever i get lvl 50-60 ill decide if i wanna invest into more PvP intense stuff

Anyways, both are fun imo and u should try em.

I play Grand Chase every day

I've played season 1, But it was an account my "friend" made me, and once I got to a 2nd job Arme, he hacked me..
I'm back on Season 3, and now I'm a level 41 Ronan with 4th job so far

. They do have a lot of timed stuff, but most things that you buy on grand chase (with money) are permanent, like pets, unlike maplestory, when they only last a couple of months.

NO, anyone that mentions Vindictus and not Mabinogi should be shot!
Vindictus is Mabinogi Heroes get that straight!

Really don't play Mabinogi unless you love to be challenge constantly, love dying, love rebirthing, love having transformations. Please most Tempers here go like play one MMORPG without knowing its orginality.

Mabinogi honestly isn't much of a challenge. It's definitely unique though, I will say that. But it's plagued by a pretty horrid looking/feeling interface, as well as a horrific feeling combat system. Rebirthing is an interesting system, but as I recall...it really is a clever pay2win system since paying people can rebirth like fucking crazy, and free players can only rebirth like once a week.
Also I have no idea why, but it feels like i'm lagging when I play. Despite me having a good ping in game. It was really annoying, but I was never quite sure if it was something wrong on my end.

Opposite of what you said. WoW is actually bellow the standard MMO these days. All WoW has to offer is a gigantic playerbase, most of which are elitist dipshits.

Yah just like i said, most item bought in game(with game money) and a lot of quest rewards are timed so unless u plan on paying real money you won't have any decent gear that is infinite and u come back to play naked if u been busy for a few weeks lol

But otherwise its a fun game, there wasnt that much char available when i first started playing it though, its good to see they keep expanding ^^

I still love S4 league, it's just harder to find a good game though.

I'd still play AuditionSEA, but I had a relatively serious addiction to it (apparently you need to eat real food and drink water to live).

 

[I am r4ymond]

Speaking of good MMO games, I've been wanting to try CoD: MW (any one of those games) on the PC, but I don't want to spend my money on the game. You can pirate the game by torrenting parts of it, correct? Just wondering...

 

[JonthanD]

Loving Wold of Tanks but I am not sure its exactly an MMO.

It's in beta right now (I got lucky and won a spot woot!)

It managed to pull me away from WoW so that says something about its quality.

Well, if you suck at FPS, MW is the way to go.
MW is basically a no-skill entry level FPS that anyone can be amazing at if they're able to shoot the broad side of a barn. Which is precisely why it's so popular.
If you have TF2, CSS, or hell pretty much any other FPS, you probably shouldn't bother with MW.

That says more to your standards then anything, lol.
But yeah, World of Tanks is pretty darn fun once you get into it. Starting sucks so hard though. You start in some craptastic tin pot, against these freakin' solid titanium monstrosities. >_> Ok it isn't that bad. But it IS a pain sometimes.

 

[SS4]

yah, the german lolaktor

Its just for about 30 min then u can move to better tanks

WOT is pretty awesome.

and u play low lvl battle for a while just so u can skip tier 3 and buy a tier 4 tank right away

u could skip tier 3 and 4 if ur really patient and get a really good start in a tier 5 for regular battles though ^^

 

[FencingFoxFTW]

maybe we should agree and get together in one

 

[SS4]

Well im quite busy with work and all, but if some ppl wanna play something just PM me or something ill try to get on with some ppl, itd be nice to get a small group going for a bunch of the games weve listed lol

 

[Deleted User]

I would have recommended APB, but it died.

 

[KinGamer7]

I used to play Puzzle Pirates a long time ago. I haven't played many MMORPG's but I had the most fun on that one by far. You can either buy items with real money or save up in-game cash by defeating enemy crews and doing jobs on your ship, etc. You can have sword fights, drinking matches, play poker games, take over enemy ships and steal their treasure, etc. and it's all PVP. Highly recommended.

Though technically an online TBS, Dofus Arena is seriously, seriously good. Right now the 2.0 version is waiting to be released outside of France, but when I used to play that game, I was hooked. It's a tactics-based game, much like the Final Fantasy Tactics series, where you build your own party using items and several character classes with loads of customization options. The gameplay is superbly balanced, the community was great and relatively active, the graphics and music was gorgeous, and best of all everything was free.

 

[SS4]

I did play Puzzle Pirates for a while, its quite awesome

And there is 2 version of dofus right? one u play a single player and the other one u play as team(Arena i think)

I am a french canadian so i should look into those... i think theyre mostly french right?

I would have recommended APB, but it died.

What does APB stands for?

 

[Hells Malice]

All Points Bulletin.

The first real attempt at a GTA style MMO. The gameplay is rather lacking (mostly due to a single hitbox. Not even a headshot hitbox...) Making gameplay more of a no-skill spray n'pray fest.

But it does a lot right. The game is pretty damn fun, and the customization is absolutely GIGANTIC.
You can customize so damn much about your character, including every piece of clothing he wears to huge detail. Same with your own personalized vehicle. There are also a very decent amount of things you can buy to personalize how your character works (like, do more damage, more bullet resistance, etc).
You can even customize a little tune people will hear every time you kill them.
Gameplay is rather smooth, and worked well. But there were severe balance issues between enforcers (police) and criminals. Enforcers non lethal weapons were basically 1hit KO, and were retarded in 1v1 fights.

It's fun, but as I said...one hitbox makes the gameplay really terrible.

That being said, APB died as Jet said. Which is surprising in a way, but they didn't listen to the feedback they got in beta which would have made the game 100% better. Like multiple hitboxes for one.

I really wish Mortal Online would have died instead of APB.

EDIT: Speak of the devil...Mortal online is slowly dying too. Yay.

 

[SS4]

Oh, thats to bad.

Anyways i just stumbled on the first day of a new Open Beta lately

game is called FreeJack.

Its a ParKour/Free Running game.

If i was to dumb it down id say its a race with ppl instead of cars and with obstacle and special move to dlear them

Art style is pretty kewl, the games reminds me a little of Drift City for some reason lol

I set up my trusty Logitech cordless rumblepad 2 (Best PC gaming pad ever btw

) for it and its quite fun. My GF tried it while i was at work the other day and like it as well

 

[Hatchetball]

Dark Eden is pretty good.
Twelve Sky 2 is another good one, just don't get caught up in their AP promotions, it's not worth money to play a MMO.

 

[Damian666]

rune of magic seems cool to me.

wonder why it wasnt mentioned...
