I don't know; i've pretty much given up on MMOs as a genre because of the massive timesink they are. You just never reach the apex, instead, you end up stuck several hundred hours in the hamster wheel with the constant longing for wanting more.

mmo's have 2 paths:
reach the top, and be done with mmo's forever outside of maybe pvp in some game or another

or have fun with some friends and maybe get to the top or at least relatively high (you have alot more fun this way, and I think a /jp/ guild would be very silly)

for /jp/ it would have to a good game for tabbing in and out of and then doing something pretty quickly (grand chase would be good if they had actually made it like a real fighting game rather than every character has 2 combo lol)

I'm liking Eden Eternal more than Vindictus (the only other decent f2pmmorpg I've played), except combat (especially pvp) is horrible and the devs don't seem to care about improving anything. I prefer pve, anyway, though. I'm up to level 48, and the best part is probably that you can change classes while questing to make it interesting. Some of these dungeons are also legitimately difficult (or just incredibly easy with the right classes).

Count me in for whatever /jp/ decides to play, though.

The last MMO I played was Guild Wars Prophecies in 2006 and it wasn't really an MMO.

I've always hated this. EE does it decently, but I'm a kinda "purist" I guess, that feels that MMORPGs need to have defined roles.

I love Mabinogi, and I'm going to say Mabinogi to OP, but Mabinogi lacks that whole one permanent class system. Everyone is a rangerspellsword. No one buffs and heals. I like Ragnarok and other older games for having you be a class and stay as that class. Your skills can make you unique, but your class is your class. I'm torn between whether you should look distinct or wear whatever you want, but I'm sure there's a happy medium in customized class outfits.

That said, Mabinogi offers probably the most freedom in fucking around and doing things that aren't grinding. I recently found a few clothes that flatten your chest enough so I can be a loli proper too.

I've played every single free MMO out. They're all bad dull games that children play. The only one even moderately worth the time is Mabinogi but even that game has plenty of issues. The downfall of MMORPG games is the fact they are marketed as a timesink and within that time the content doesn't stay fresh. It's simply recycled gameplay with little to no variation that encourages you to "grind" through for minimal reward all leading to the next "grind"

That being said I'm bored, lonely, and I would very much enjoy playing games with you all.

DFO is becoming a full fighter (gear no longer a damning issue, all skill/matchup now provided you fight people within your rank) game in 2 days with the advent of fair arena. All you pretty much need to do is hit level 18 through pve, which takes about 2-3 hours.

The problem is we need players, dfo's population dropped hard due to the pay2win, hacking and merciless market/goldbuying which spread through all aspects of the game. The new pvp mode ignores all of that and gives you your own set of gear, and upgrades that you can earn THROUGH pvping only. no gold here

We need players. Come for pvp, stay for the pvp, enjoy the pve sidegame.

In APB:R, you can die in under a second. Movement and situational awareness are very important.

Mabi's fun (when it's not extremely frustrating), but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't already have high level friends to help them out. Some quests are basically impossible for new players to do. I wouldn't have even been able to finish G1 or get Final Hit without a couple of level ~1000 buddies I knew from outside the game.

Also trying to fight more than one enemy at once is an excersize in extreme frustration. On the plus side, it actually has a pretty cool plot.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8700356

I guess most people don't go through the trouble of having PCs that run Aion without graphical lag around here.

Not that it's an issue anyway. The game is an absolutely ABSURD timesink, where pretty much everything depends on RNG, even PvP.

Look, a player that did not use 550 hours of gameplay repeating fortress runs to gear his ass up and be able to pretty much two hit everybody! I'll have a very fun and fair fight with him!

Whoops, guess not faggot, he just procced his 1% godstone on you and got an instakill.

Believe me. I was one of the idiots who used 550 hours of gameplay repeating fortress runs to gear his ass up and be able to pretty much two hit everybody. And it turns out to be not that great. Everybody runs from you, and the fact that you LOSE more Abyss points by dying in PvP than you gain by killing other just makes everybody just hide all the time. Yeah, world PvP for you.

And it sure is balanced. Talk with sorcs winning 6x1 without receiving damage or the cool one-minute-long-unbreakable-chain-CC-where-he-can-attack-you-at-will fear of the SM.

The only fun thing in the game would be dressing your character up. And the game doesn't even have many outfits. And they are all expensive as fuck.

Also, when it goes free all instances will have many-days-long cooldowns, unless you pay. Yeah, free Aion for you.

Yes I'm mad as fuck for playing so much of that thing. It had so much potential. ;_;

The Vaquero is a fun car, but I found it useless in actual missions since it bounced everywhere and was not durable.

Don't know if it was always this way, but even slotted versions of the tier 1 cars are still free to spawn. A starter car with nitro and ammo in the back is way better than just a starter car, and tbh better than even a top end car that has no slots.

I managed to tame the Vaquero so its useful in actual missions.

A few months ago the Vaquero would not suffer from slowdown from VIP-carry missions, it'd keep going at its max speed. But ever since they patched it out its basically more of a hindrance than a help.

Although the thing is nearly impossible to flip, unless you pin it to a wall. Turns on a fucking dime, and best acceleration, found it pretty good for chasing as long as they didn't have a passenger shooting at you.
But yeah there are significantly better cars you could be using.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8700974
The mikro had the same issue iirc, but when they patched it they managed to do it without preventing the mikro from going past 3rd gear.

The only way I've found to flip a mikro is to have someone slowly crash into you at a right angle and keep accelerating such that it rolls the car exactly onto its back.

I haven't tried the bishada, but I wasn't real impressed with the jericho (the wheels felt very slippery). I'm told the pioneer beats out the espacio something fierce though.

I currently use a 4-slot Moirai. Or a 1-slot Corsenza if I want a free to spawn car.

literally spent my entire 2008 summer break struggling in the wasteland, trying to survive for another hour in face of constant russian ganking as they roamed in their tightly knit crews of high level players. i have not experienced the same amount of satisfaction from finally managing to fight back, having to lean on your comrades and call in favors from newbies you helped out. the power struggles and drama reinforced by the threat of imminent bloodshed was so fucking intense there really are no words to describe it. you couldn't just grind your way into greatness, you had to view every player as someone you could somehow outsmart and backstab in the long run, on top of that you had to decide which of your friends were expendable as you could seldom pull through without casualties in a tight situation, either you accepted these facts of life of you were a nobody. this wasn't a game to just kick back and relax to, since it was so ridiculously hard to get back on your feet whenever you get jumped, EVERY kill was personal. the sheer amount of deceit, low blows but also teamwork that was crucial to getting to a position of power could last any player a lifetime.

the only regulations were those that players themselves imposed (never forget the first time you blow an white knight fag anti-PK's brains out), sky was the goddamn limit. ambushing some fucker that ganked you in the past and talking shit as he goes batshit over all the loot he's about to loss, nigga that kinda shit makes you ejaculate from excitement. then you find his naked ass looking for gear and you still kill him out of spite even though there's nothing in it for you. when the open beta was about to close, my crew had heard some rumors about a farewell party in san francisco where every player could peacefully say their goodbyes as the servers were about to shut down. i was in the elite squad that spearheaded the assault on the oil tanker stationed in the city's docks where the party had been taking place. i have not seen that many players massacred in one spot in any online game ever. having whipped out my gauss and blade runner pistols, i embraced the glorious bloodbath to its fullest. one time after the servers had shut down when some guy called out my name and called me a bro in a fonline memories thread i nearly lost my shit and cried. to sum up this essay i'd like to say now that FOnline by Cvet was the single most libertarian game i have played in my entire life.

It works if people don't form cliques and run off to their little IRCs, if people at least pretend to be from /jp/, and if there is someone who will step on people who cause problems for others.

Unfortunately, (Hotglue) has left clumps of clique IRC channels and hurt feelings in its wake. With these around, you'd be hard pressed to even try forming a /jp/ guild without some moron feeling that you're intruding on his entitlements.
