Good MMO's these days?

[Lubbo]

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

owww niceeee i practice parkour myself as you can see better give this a go

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.

Never heard of Dark Eden, but I have played and hated Twelve Sky 2. I really didn't find a single thing I liked about it. Literally everything about it was bad compared to most other MMOs.

QUOTE(Damian666 @ Oct 7 2010, 09:19 AM) rune of magic seems cool to me.

wonder why it wasnt mentioned...

Dami

Runes of Magic is very well done, but it's pay2win. Essentially come endgame, you need to
A: Spend a TON ($100 at least, but probably way, way more) of money to make yourself competent in endgame PvP, and even PvE groups will reject non-pimped out people.
B: Spend probably a year total grinding money/daily quests to earn what a person using the item shop profusely can get in a day. Best part though, is they DO raise the level cap. So by the time you're end-game competent, endgame has moved on already and you're just late-game competent.

Though it also has balancing issues. I forget exactly what the OP classes were, but I remember that if you aren't a priest/mage, scout/warrior or scout/something, then you weren't ever as good as others who are. The priest/mage combo is ridiculous though. Half the people you see will be this class combo. Out of every combo possible, it's sad to see ONE combo used by 50% of the population.

The games PvP system also doesn't really make sense. If you PK a lot, you get different coloured names, like usual. You drop items when you die at a percent depending on your name colour. The stupid part is if you kill a red named player, your name will change in a positive way, but it also makes you drop items too, and provides NO benefits to be good. Essentially it's a 'karma' system. Kill people, gain bad karma. Kill bad people, gain positive karma.
It's really fucked up anyways, they NEED to fix it. Good/bad are both supposed to provide bonuses to make people want to actually be good or bad, but instead it's just a really stupid idea to go good or bad, because you drop your items at a high chance when you die, for absolutely no benefits aside from a name colour change.

LOTRO is pretty good, and it's just gone F2P

I play LOTRO Europe, on [EN-RP] Laurelin.

 

[Hells Malice]

I was going to try LOTRO, but I downloaded it not knowing those dipshits went into closed beta when going F2P for absolutely no reason. So after 2 weeks of waiting to get into closed beta, I uninstalled and don't plan to ever play it.

Who the fuck does a long-standing closed beta for a game that had been out for 3 years?!
That just blew me away.
Plus Turbine's warped definition of F2P amuses me.

[Hells Malice]

yeah it's about $15

Or, $15 too much if you don't want to be paying for outdated casual trash.

Aaah, more causalQQ.
Sure, I haven't been playing for a pretty long time now, since, yea, I've seen the last raid by now. But cataclysm will be awesome and more then worth the 15$

 

[Hells Malice]

If they update the game mechanics sure.
It feels so outdated it's ridiculous. I was actually going to tolerate the fact that the PvP is trash and play WoW again, but the fluidity of the game felt about 3 years outdated and I quit quicker then expected. The game used to at least feel like a superior quality game, despite its flaws. Now it just feels outdated, and retains its older flaws.

 

[SS4]

Heh, i really like this MMO topic but seriously when are we gonna play any of those game together

 

[I am r4ymond]

So no one plays League Of Legends here?

 

[Hells Malice]

I tried LoL, but i've never really been into those types of games, and trying to learn to play while your teammates scream every curse word in existence, and some i've never heard before; it made me quit trying to learn pretty quickly.
I essentially just tried to learn, and if my teammates were asswipes, I trolled the match. Got bored, moved on.
But yeah, not my kind of game.

 

[SS4]

I couldnt get into it, i guess its the character design, i not all about graphic but if i don't like the looks of char its really hard for me to enjoy myself

That's how it was for me when I first started playing. Though, I played with my friends who were high levels. Little did I know that I was playing against pros, so that was one of the reasons why I failed at most of my games. But yeah, I hate it when people tell you to do this, do that, and tell you what you should do. It pisses me off a lot, to an extent where I trash talk nonstop. People just don't get that it's just a game.

That's what I thought about the graphics too, but I got used to it as I played more and more. And the lamest thing about playing LoL is that there's only 2 maps that you can play in....One is a 3v3 map and the other is a 5v5 map. It's as if they'll never add anymore maps. That's not true, I believe.

And did you know that you can change the graphics settings to "high" which will show even more details for the characters and the scenery?

I was thinking of getting into Final Fantasy XIV, but after the CrAZY negative reviews on it, I don't think I will anymore. It had my interest though for awhile. But they did just extend the free period to 60 days if you sign up by OCT 25. Maybe...I will get it. I DON"T KNOW.

Don't really want to do WOW.

I wish there was a free MMORPG similar to EQ2, but was free. I don't feel like giving SONY any money. Their free to play system is the biggest rip job I've ever seen.

However, I'm definately gonna get Guild Wars 2 when it comes out. Basically a full MMORPG, for free.

 

[Hells Malice]

GW2 won't be free, it'll be a one time purchase. Unless they went F2P when I wasn't looking.
Though I suppose a one time purchase is close enough to free, unless they add a cash shop.

FFXIV is the biggest joke of an MMO i've played in a while. I've never played FFXI, but after playing XIV i'm incredibly glad I didn't.
The gameplay is sluggish, the interface feels like cavemen beat out its entire design on a cave wall. It's ugly, and feels terrible to use.
Combat is incredibly boring, and it may have just been newbie areas...but monsters don't exactly spawn abundantly.
Getting lost is common, they don't provide a whole lot in the way of guidance. Finding an NPC? Good luck. Finding a quest? Good luck. Finding something to do? Good luck.
No PvP means the game wouldn't even make up its value if it was a one time purchase with no pay to play aspect.

The only bonus points it gets from me is being able to distribute both attribute AND elemental resistance points every level up. Most MMOs ditch the manual attribute system (or ruin it) because they want their game to suck; and i've never seen designating resistance through level-up points before, so it's pretty unique.

The 'tutorial' scenes are kind of cool, but your character looks like a moron in them depending on how they look, and the tutorial section is a huge waste of time and effort.

 

[keine]

Yeah, I meant free as in one time for game free.

Does anyone have any experience w/ *private* WOW servers? Are they even any good? Which one is the best? If this in a banned topic, please excuse my ignorance. I won't mention it again.

Also, anything similar or better than EQ2. I remember being pretty drawn into EQ2, but back then the graphics crushed my PC.

 

[Hells Malice]

WoW private servers are pay2win.
If it's a stable server with a high population, they either have insanely OP donation gear you buy for like $300 a set, or they have this fucked up "make your own gear" system where you can literally spend as much as you want to give gear whatever stats you feel like, and have the funds for.
All 'top quality' private servers do this. (or they did as of two months ago when I last checked, it's probably even worse now).
The bottom shit ones with 5 people playing at all times don't usually have much in the way of donation items.

Basically, if you want to play WoW and have fun...it's actually cheaper to play retail.


If you like EQ2, play EQ2 (and pay). Not really a ton of games that I can think of feel a lot like EQ2, or offer what it does.

 

[keine]

Thanks for the heads up on Wow private. Researched it some more...and got the same recommendations on private wow (junk)

Thanks Hells.

 

[SS4]

lol, i played WoW private a little, that was before BC came out. And it was quite fun, but i decided to quit WoW when BC came out anyhow. I don't remember them having crazy OP ppl back then... anyways ^^
