xaussxauss Member, Newbie CommonPosts: 384

will this be another RPfree grinder* based on grinding*, the odd bit of pvp with no language filter, with more grinding* on the side, and when you are bored of that, more grindage* with all chars looking the same, and little / no plot questing, oh and did i mention some grind* ?

    game looks fun, I love the korean/japan mmo's.. lineage 2, RF... there armor designs are really nice while american mmo's are really nerdy and knights armor and shit so bland no style at all.  But I love anime as well, so that anime feeling to the games is what attracts me... plus when I was a baby I lived in japan for a 1 yr I think thats why I love japan so much and anime and stuff even though I dont' remember about japan when I was a baby lol.

    It's got a unique look, and it's supposedly quite violent as well as being profanity-filter-free.  I'm sure we'll all hear about it once the beta starts because testers can never keep their secrets very well...  Well, that and this game is based off an already existing Asian MMO, so there can't be THAT much difference with this English version.

    This gameplay looks awesome and it has a lot of action, but we won't know whether its a grindfest or not until we actually play it.
  • LougarouLougarou Member Posts: 278
    Yes, like most MMORPGs, it will be grindy. Now the game will have fast paced and bloody action so you can have fun while grinding (like Diablo II...yes I know D2 isn't a MMO).

    While Acclaim didn't reveal much about the game, I know there'll be fishing and probably a few things to do other than monsters bashing.

    "While Acclaim didn't reveal much about the game, I know there'll be fishing and probably a few things to do other than monsters bashing."

    well its a start i suppose, though the crafting / mining in Hero was pretty horrid

    "Yes, like most MMORPGs, it will be grindy. Now the game will have fast paced and bloody action so you can have fun while grinding"

    just hope it isnt just reduced to spamming pots / skills and farming ad nauseum the same spot hour after hour, day after day before you are not even 1/2 way to level cap

    OEEEH offtopic......................DAMIT you made me go of topic as well... lemme try and get back up it again *reads all posts over*

    okay okayyyyy i get it now.. i have your awnser, your FINAL awnser and SURELY the right awnser



    see its based on a >>>KOREAN<<<(or asian) game that word there the K-O-R-E-A-N equals grinding/grindfest/gringage/grindetc etc  these days in mmo`s so YES its a grind game FEAR IT/LOVE IT your choice. I myself play these >>>KOREAN<<< "MMO`s" (aka GRINDING*cough*) games till about half the level cap before  i get bored of it (after just calling all your friends over and convincing them and getting a guild or clan of the ground) then i sudenly dissapear of that game planet for 1-2 months and come back because im bored of what i play at that moment again.



    Dont look at it as a game, look at it as a temporarily time killer

    Yep u are right the game is a grind-fest i played on the Korean server now currently  on japanses server and the grinding got boring after awhile but i got hooked and kept going back,and fishing isnt all that only did it to get rare items... then the pking was sweet loved it but made u want to grind more to get the more adavnced skills... .the game is good but if not fan of grinding wont play it for long well I love the grinding

    That's exactly what I do... looking at it as a time killer, that is.

    It's free, it's somewhat pretty I guess. And you get to bash a few things upon the noggin while you wait for a better game to plop out somewhere.

    I've never been a fan of grindfest games, nor of games where the choice of profession determines your gender. And the fact that you look just like everyone else in the game doesn't really give the game bonus points either.

    But hey... something to do is better than nothing to do, right?

    Sorry if I sound a tad bitter. But I've been waiting for the 2moon-support for almost a week now and still no response. That usually gives a pretty good hint on how the game will end up.

    Meh... MMO's are all grindfests to some extent... that's why we play them. Otherwise we'd all be playing FPS'ers . As to swearing...I seem to recall being able to turn off the profanity filters in every MMO I've ever played...including Lineage 1 and 2.... so nothing new here.

    Los Angeles (January 10, 2007) - Acclaim Games is pleased to announce the start of Closed Beta testing for 2Moons, a totally brutal Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) that is FREE to download and play on a PC. With the tagline “No mercy for the weak, no pity for the dying, no tears for the slain”, 2Moons was designed exclusively for Adult gamers age 17 and over, featuring extreme fantasy violence, profanity, an epic story, and heart-pumping action.



    Since Closed Beta email registration began in August 2006, without any marketing, over 100,000 gamers have already signed up to participate via the official 2Moons website at www.2MoonsGame.com.



    These Closed Beta testers will be given an exclusive & confidential first look at the game, and are asked to report bugs and issues, and to make suggestions to the development team.



    2Moons was designed to be easy for any player to get into and enjoy right away. Featuring elements of traditional role-playing games and arcade-style fighting action, 2Moons will appeal to a broad range of players who seek a thrilling, action-packed gaming experience in an exciting story. The game story is set in an aggressive, dangerous, and visually stunning world and was written by writer Henry Jones.



    “I’ve made a lot of games over the years”, says the game’s Director David Perry. “There’s no doubt that by the time we’re done, 2Moons will have really earned it’s ‘Most Edgy MMORPG’ accolade. The Beta testers will be able to see all the new features getting added over time. They’ll also be able to help us craft this into a game they each personally love.”



    2Moons is the third release from the new Acclaim, a resurrected company with a familiar name. The new Acclaim will focus entirely on providing quality multiplayer online games for free. The games will be supported with a mix of advertising and virtual item stores. For 2Moons, players will also be allowed to turn off the in-game adverting if they choose to, a major innovation in the FREE online game industry. Acclaim has already partnered with IGA to provide in-game advertising for its other online game titles.



    Players will also have a chance to be a part of the actual game itself. Several lucky players will be able to participate in the development process by providing the voices for characters in 2Moons. Acclaim will choose the best player voice recordings to go into the game. Get more information at http://phpbb.acclaim.com/2moons/viewtopic.php?t=1594.



    To play 2Moons and participate in Closed Beta testing, registered players must receive an official invitation by email. Invitations will be emailed regularly on a first come, first served basis. Fans that have not yet registered are encouraged to sign up at www.2MoonsGame.com, as Closed Beta space may be limited.



    2Moons Closed Beta is expected to last several weeks, followed by Open Beta testing where a larger group can participate to further test the game before official release. Register now to be one of the first to experience this exciting new game!

    you got some issues dude first of all i want all of u guys to know ACCLAIM is not a foreign aka japanese/korean company therefore this game is NOT korean/japanese...so why dont u blame americans for making grind fest games? get your story straight  anyway by no means i am taking any sides, i know MOST OR ALL asian games are grindfest, but american games are jsut the same whether u are grinding lvls or skills its all the same in any mmo.

    also if u want to dig deeper hes the site where u can read where acclaim came from. i hope the link works...

    This game is based ON the korean game Dekaron not just BASED ON they actually TOOK the game engine and worked on it co-operativly they "asked" to change a few this and thats but thats it its STILL a korean game brought to the english world "adjusted" to the western world.

    THUS it is korean for most part and THUS we call it korean simply because it is.
  • YukkioneYukkione Member Posts: 618
    Anyone who thinks this game is any different from other Asian/korean grind games is delusional. I think David perry should loose all credibility for this one. If you like the grind this is for you. If you like looking like every other character.. this is for you. If you think mixing things up by being able to fish is cool.... this game is for you. If your mom wont pay for a western MMORPG then this may be for you.
  • mobiusacemobiusace Member Posts: 44
    exactly, i only heard stuff like "THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER!" before it came out from the people that never played it or played dekaron. now im only hearing bad stuff about it so its not so great thats for sure.
  • makiimakii Member Posts: 280
    I was invited , without a notice, in the 2Moons Closed Beta. SO far its the worst game i ever played. The servers, conntection is very bad. Almost all people have a ping of 1k when man ppl log on, but thats not really a big deal since its on CB, and they need to spare money.



    This game has noting to feature, no story that is interesting, the only thing u can do is Grind Grind Grind.



     A VERY GOOD feature is a IMPLEMENTED mp3 PLAYER, so u put all your favorite songs in the song Ordner and u can play them lagless ingame!



    The Graphics are ok i think, the enviroment of the water looks the best so far. The drawing distance is very bad, its like 10feet from the

    player, they need to adjust that, it just horrible.



    But beside some minor good things, the game overall is a GRINDFEST. THE EXP from lvl to lvl IS VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYY LOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, at lvl 50 U NEED 10h+ to gain 1 LVL!!!!!! I MEAN WTF???? ITS CLOSED BETA AND THEY DARE TO GIVE US A GRINDFEST LIKE THAT!



     And with GAMEGUARD in it, whe see sure soon the first speeders. BUt wait................its the early Beta, but even at final, i dont expect huge improvements from this game.



    David parry hyped the game like it was a Final Fantasy with Blood spilled fighting.

    The radius of the Party is very small, u need always to stay very near.



    The PvP is like: the one that atk first win first, cause almost every char got knock back abbilitys, and that wont allow the opposite even land 1 hit on u.



    Im not sure about the mage class in tis game, but they seem not good in 1vs1.  But they sure are powerful when they get into siege war( later implemented).











    what the player want so far is:

    -male -female char selection

    -higher exp

    -more clothing/weapons

    -more bosses

    -better drawing distance

    -much better quest rewards/exp

    -a main story in movie like sequences.

    -a better chat system

    -a better skill table

    -no lvl restriction areas

    -individual chars with faces/hairs/body size

    -a button to run, so u dont have to press always forward

    and so many otehr things......





    bt wait...they want money...what they gona do? noting, or just some minor stuff.

    I giggled at the thread title, because it's exactly the same impression it made to me.

    since this thread has recently been bumped to the top - i'll like to thank those who have contributed and voted.

    to be quite honest, the question was really semi-rhetorical since it would be THE BIGGEST SURPRISE EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD if it didnt fit the stereotype.

    Anyways, got the beta invite and downloaded game about a week ago, just not really been in the mood to try it yet - guess i'll get round to it next week

    I think you have a rough 20 western MMORPG's they sue. they stole "Grind, grinding, and grindfest" from asian MMO's.
  • aw3som3n3ssaw3som3n3ss Member Posts: 9

    looks like im the only one who likes this game. I think this game has a ton of potential to be really good. I just hope that they listen to the people and do the updates that need to be done, and by the looks of things im guessing they'll get most of them done. Makii's list of things to improve is on the dot, fixing only a few things from there will improve the game.

    I only play free mmo's, and so far this is the best one out there imo.

  • GameloadingGameloading Member UncommonPosts: 14,182
    I'm not very far in the game yet, so I'm in no position to judge it yet, but imo, the plan to make this game feel adult, F A I L E D. My god, did they overdo it. Every NPC swears and throws out name calling like there is no tommorow. Instead of making you feel like your in some rough world, the NPC's actually sound like 14 year old urban wannabe kids. It makes me feel like the translation has been done by some kid who has a temper problem. its especialy annoying since the game is not build with such language in mind. seeing a pretty young lady swearing like a person who has spend 30 years in a prison is rediculous.
