Switch Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 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.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
