It's excellent, or was, anyway. The graphics are really outdated now, because it came out at the end of 1999. It's still the best overall though, IMO.

Yeah, I remember how fun it was back then. The story was pretty cool from what I can remember, but I don't remember much about the customization. I do remember how fun it was travelling, sometimes you run into random mobs that will completely dominate you, and you had to make several choices really quickly. Sometimes I survived and got really cool shit, sometimes I ran, sometimes I just died. It was fun.

I'm sorry but grindfests and shitty raids made that entire game a really shitty timesink.

EQ is bad for the same reasons WoW is bad except EQ amplifies those factors significantly

If you have to grind excessively or spend hours upon hours in raids mashing the same button combinations and facing bosses in boring dungeons that take HOURS upon HOURS to clear.

Any system like this is just the devs being lazy so they force artificial timesinks instead of producing real content.

Lineage = YOU ARE A SLAVE TO THE GRIND

I feel bad for people who actually have the capacity to play grindfest games, mostly because I used to be one of those people.

Tip for enjoying MMOs: If you see one you're interested in, ask how long the grind is to max level, and what fun things you can do while getting to max level.

This is what ruins games like Darkfall, the game really starts ONCE you get to max level, otherwise there's not much of shit to do.

That concept only works if people have incentives to help each other out. (It should be fun and give you a bonus)

Examples of good group play:

Examples of bad group play:
A bunch of quests that are in the middle of fucking nowhere and require the help of friends who have to spend some time traveling out to the middle of nowhere to help with something they will see no reward from.

Oh I agree totally. That is why i never like official l2. When you would grind for a week straight and only see like 20% exp more on your bar i hated it. The rates were there to keep you paying for the game.

Private servers were fun for the fact you could do 15x server and have fun leveling because you could acutely level. But sadly private servers have huge downfalls like over powered donations, bugs, corrupt GM's, and shitty communities.

For me it was all about the art, setting, and pvp. The story line quests and classes are what made me stay as well. Classes felt hyper specialized and i loved. Most MMO's these days have classes that are more jack of all trades. And i hate that.

If you think all MMOs are asinine grindfests you obviously haven't played enough MMOs.

Examples of MMOs where grinding is not a main focus and there is plenty of fun and interesting content (on par with normal games) on the way to max level:
1.) World of Tanks
2.) Global Agenda
3.) All Points Bulletin
4.) Lord of the Rings Online
5.) Freejack
6.) Dynasty Warriors
7.) I could go on....

I didn't include F2P FPSes because generally speaking you could just buy an FPS like BFBC2 for $15 and unlock everything without paying a dime further.

Honestly is a good game.

Stemming mainly from the fact that you can continually swap tanks.

Oh you died in one match? Just quit and load up another tank, get right into a battle and you'll still get exp and credits from the battle you died in when it ends.

You can play competitively at any tier level in the game, so players just starting out can have just as much fun at players at endgame, because they're engaging in similar combat.

Some of the exp you earn at any tier level can be used to advance through the ranks of higher tiers, and all the credits can be used to purchase items for your higher end tanks.

I'll just sum it up:
1.) Instant action in large scale battles
2.) Very very very little downtime between battles due to being able to use another tank while one is dead in another battle
3.) Relatively similar gameplay regardless of the player's advancement in the game

That said if you don't enjoy tank combat well then you're not going to enjoy WoT, just like any other MMO with gameplay mechanics you don't enjoy.

The only issue with official l2 is the rates. The problem with private servers are most of them use l2j as the server. And that is the reason why they suck. l2j should have never been invented for one reason and that is geodata. In official lineage 2 they use server side geodata that syncs all the clients and monsters together. It affects everything from items dropped to monster pathing. You can notice it the strongest down in the catacombs polarming mobs. If you try to do it on an l2j server the monsters will never follow you. They will run though walls or attack you behind walls. On official they run your path because of the geodata and will stack in corners properly and never glitch into walls.

Honestly F2P is not F2P if you're playing any sort of seriously.

Most people I know who have significant time invested in F2P games pay $30+ each month.

If you ask me optional subscription based is the best.

For example in LoTRO you can pay a monthly fee and access ALL of the games content OR use the cash shop to buy it peacemeal. LoTRO doesn't surprise me as having the best model as Turbine is the best MMO company out there, hands down.

Sorry to break it to you, but I'm pretty up on MMO game development and you can't combine massive player interaction, demon's souls gameplay, and modern gen graphics.

Its the reason games like Global Agenda and APB are restricted to small player servers because it takes way more bandwidth than is economical, and takes way more system resources than even high end computers can handle.

Vindictus would be cool but its all instanced.

What's the point of an MMO if there's never any MASSIVE gameplay?

We had games like AC/UO/EQ1/DAOC which at least got the part about MASSIVE correct. WAR was pretty awesome at launch too but they fucked up a lot of things on the execution, and EA forced them to rush it out the door, releasing it before WoTLK. Honestly WAR is one of those games I WISH did a lot better than it did, I WISH they waited and balanced and polished until a month or two after WoTLK came out and people realized WoW was the same old shit and went to WAR.

I haven't played Maple Story in years but Maple Story had the best system when I was playing.

Shit ton of awesome ass cosmetic items purchasable through $$$.

I think every MMO could stand to make some serious cash by realizing that putting their CG people and concept artists to work making a bunch of great cosmetic stuff can earn some decent revenue.

The issue is they get greedy, and then release cash shop items for all styles of play... including basic features.

Want to make a guild?
Pay up.
Want to customize your character with cool gear?
Pay up.
Want to get the best endgame items?
Pay up.

The issue becomes, as I said earlier, you're paying far more than a AAA mmo title that costs $15/month.

There's a difference between fucking over your playerbase for insanely high profit margins and making decent money.

Much as I like capitalism it annoys me heavily at times.

What F2P used to be:
Cosmetic items and some consumables for cash
What F2P now is:
You must buy all content that is enjoyable and/or pay 2 win.

I read this >>6786973 and it seems that they are tailoring it for a Western audience
>Most importantly, we want to stress that TERA will be different in the west

I haven't really been following news for this game so I don't know if they still have races they want to announce or what, but I don't see that particular one on the NA site. Most likely not going to include it to avoid criticism?

Combat isn't your traditional bullshit EQ-clone MMO faire.

Its more like God of War, or Vindictus, or DMC, etc.

I mean maybe not exactly as involved, but its more focused on action combat, not hurr durr hotbarz n' targetz (aka glorified turn based).

They could be. That one is being made by a different company. But he NA version is going to be considered the international version and will have no IP locks on it. So if they want their loli in their MMO they can.

Sadly we don't have MMOs any more in the traditional sense.

I can't name a modern MMO where you have massive interaction at one point in time.

MMOs now are online games where you play with a massive amount of people over time.

Cowadooty and Bad Company 2 are really very basic MMOs by today's standards.

Honestly even the MMOs that SUPPORT massive interaction... it never occurs.

There are a few, but they're all pretty shit:
1.) Darkfall
2.) WAR
3.) WoW

Oh right that's about it... every other open world MMO you'd be hard pressed to be actually participating in an activity with more than 10 people at one time. (Doing nothing in a major city does not count)

Naw Aion was made by NcSoft and administrated like most NcSoft games and that is by the Korean team. Things like balancing and EXP rates are set by the people in Korea to grindfest mode. The NA branch of NcSoft could never make changes.

The people making Tera are the old lineage 2 team that broke off of NcSoft and made their own company. En-Masse enetertaiment is the NA branch that is bringing it over from korea and they have full controll over it. That includes things like pvp balancing and EXP rates. They said it wont be set to grindfest mode in the slightest. And that means the game will be like lineage 2 but without the horrendous grind.

What? The American/European Aion release has had level requirements severely dropped compared to the Korean version of the game and I believe drop rates have been increased along with EXP. They also throw in Double EXP weekends pretty commonly, at least they did the few times I've went back to the game to see how it is.

You probably think corporate society isn't a joke too. *rolleyes*

Playing EvE and getting anywhere is akin to working in a cube. Other people abuse your time for their own profit and fun.

EvE is a monopolistic society without anti-trust laws.

I played Lineage 2 for years. I've checked some videos about TERA's gameplay but it looks unplayable, how are you supposed to aim, use skills, and move at the same time?. What you are saying in interesting but will the gameplay be as good as in Lineage 2?

I can only take it easy playing casual games.

Point-and-Click MMORPGs always seem to subject themselves to grinding and in the long run won't keep me interested more than a few weeks. I want more MMORPGs to be like Vindictus where you have to immerse yourself to play. I'm hoping much better stuff comes out soon. I was thinking about playing an MMOFPS but the free ones always seem to have chammers. I was thinking about playing Heroes in the Sky again but there is no one to play with.
