Technically, they're all Meridian 59 Rip-offs.  It [i believe] was the original MMORPG.

 

I agree with Peregrine.  From what I've played, I can say it's not worth the cost to me.  I spent hours a day during the beta, hoping that it woudl get better, but it never did.  It's still plagued with the near-unsovlable problems that every MMO has.  Kill monsters for parts - 1, the monsters don't always give you what you need [i found about 1/10th the time], and 2 - there are about a dozen players doing the same quest at any given time, so, assuming you get 1 out of every twelve monsters to yourself, in order to get 5 parts you need to kill 60 monsters.  Time waster.  Also, not being able to talk to opposing players with no apparent way to overcome this barrier in the foreseeable future [they claim they're doing so, but I have no proof] is a minus.  This may have changed - if so, let me know.

 

In short, an MMORPG with cartoony graphics and problems that is not worth the monthly payment.

The lack of a translation facility hasn't changed, however the quest item chance certainly has by the sounds of it. A lot of the early on quests have a 50/50 chance to drop items or more. Sometimes 100%. At levels 20+ it gets a little harder, but nothing too excessive. 40+ can get a little ridiculous I must admit with players sometimes having to kill hundreds with no result, and some killing 1 and getting the item instantly.

 

It's by no means a rip-off of any other MMORPG, and IMO it's not hyped up either. It is honestly a decent, original MMORPG. And yes I have played Everquest, Ultima Online, Final Fantasy XI and a number of other MMORPGs and this is nothing like them. A few basic similarities perhaps, but essentially different. The graphics are a lot better in game than they appear in the screenshots, too.

 

Level 46 Night Elf Warrior on the Argent Dawn server here, btw. :tongue2:

It's ok, Dark0ne. It's not your fault you fell for all the hype about blizzard and warcraft.

 

I swapped EQ2 for WoW since the majority of my college friends have created a guild in the game and I'd rather play an MMORPG with lots of people I know, than with complete strangers. It'd be best if you didn't do your usual "words-in-mouth, I'm a blue tit prick" technique before I /fart on you again! ;D
