is there any endgame stuff or something special u can do in the end of the game, i mean when u reach 50, is all u can do duelling?

Apart from that, there is no "end game content". "Pointless" (but for some entertaining) PvP and combat in live events would also require 50.
No, there's a considerable amount of "levelling content" (it becomes accessible while you level, but usually remains accessible), some that isn't dependent on level, and live content.
Just hardly "end game content", which is just a subtype of content, really.
He asked if there's end game content in MxO, aka, content for 50s only. I said, no, or hardly.
He concluded that because there's no end game content, there is none at all. I said no, because there is content in the game (argue about quantity and quality as much as you want ("pfft, meaningless farming with meaningless RP texts"), it is there, regardless of your or the OP's areas of interest, pretensions or experiences in other MMOs).
So what the heck is wrong about that? What does it matter that I've stopped dramatically caring about levelling for months and months and are still level 49?
How do you pretend to know how much time I spend in the game, what does it matter for the question in this thread? Do you realize that "spending time on the forums" is actually visiting them again and again, contingently posting something, while keeping track on other activities, including playing the game, doing homeworks or making music inbetween, while playing the game is a non-stop process? And that I can't always afford the latter one?
How does it matter if I've played other MMOs as long as I just talk basic stuff about MxO, and do not compare it to the other games I haven't played? Which I have not done.
51 mission contacts and the Pandora's Box quest, combined with less "content-filled" and significant stuff like neighborhood gang collectors, exile hideouts or archive constructs are probably too much to be called "very little", although it's all relative to other games, and certainly enough to be called "considerable amount".
The story mission archive is also at least a "considerable" amount. Maybe a bit less than in WoW, maybe uncomparably less, but still not to be neglected. Live events are also unneglectable, although they are live content, not static content.
If someone doesn't value it all, he doesn't have to play the game - fair enough, right? This game is very story focused, those with little interest for this aspect will also enjoy it far less.
So Freiheit, why don't you just go back to your fan marketing version? It was more "conspirational", at least. This list of points that are supposed to subvert my credibility are just... worthless.

Don't believe the hype.
That post is about an half of year old.
Some time later, I posted a thread with the question if this initiative was still active, and was told it were dead. So whatever original fan marketing initiave Phrog suggested or started, I doubt it's still around.

And oh, take a look at a few of my initial post. Maybe I was wrong with "quite a bit of content" because I wasn't quite aware of the market's standards and requirements and was judging from my own experience (a few other points aswell),
but it'll be an eye-opener for you in terms of my "lying" and "marketing" strategies on these forums, aswell as my insanely positive opinion about this game.

Ah, forgot... look up a relatively new thread on DN1, by a certain "SFK". In case you haven't received Trucidos' PM yet.
Looks like someone has come up with the idea again... but I don't see any suggesting to spread lies in forums, so don't jump on the train all too quickly.

Last post in that thread as in 10/06 and it started in 7/06, not sure what calndar you go by. You and what you do are irrelvant. These guys are here and elsewhere, iit just is what it is. Like the reviews we have here recently after skyjackal told MXO people to bump the player reveiw score up. Reviews with no comments, lol. So are you still saying it's not true and I'm making up a conspiracy?
You can mix ignorance and arrogance like no one else. Glad we could help the OP.
Wow, lets all make stuff up while we're at it. If you want to lauch a marketing campaign on the internet, you have to realize that there will people people who see it and disagree. It seems that all you can you is make stuff up and insult people, I guess the selling isn't going well.
I thought we already concluded thsi thread, there is no end game in MXO.
Thanks!
Just on the example of graphics, I guess we both agree that WoW is nothing compared to MxO in this area, and if this site's graphics ratings prefer WoW over MxO, I don't see anything wrong about suggesting others to vote positively, because it would be kind of honest, don't you think?
Just an example, I haven't thought about the other points.
Now that we've resolved this drift... yea, what's there left to say? If you're looking for quantity of content, from all I've heard other games offer sufficiently more. If you look for end game content, you'll hardly find more than a few single quests and just "strength".
Although it all depends on your requirements/standards, areas of interest and playing time, I definitely wouldn't say there's "very little content".
Archive and contact missions (there's also a quest called "Pandora's Box", which I don't include here) build 512 missions together. A mission consists of 1-6 phases (archive missions usually 3-4), each of them takes in a different building and generates event scenarios for inside.
Of course, you can get through them considerably fast if you play several hours a day and chase through them without paying attention. Why that? Because TMO is a story based game, and the main, if not only meaning of these missions is what's actually going on there, expressed through written texts, rarelier (very impressive imo) voice recordings and the scenarios themselves - unrealistically primitive often, but nevertheless meaningful.
Might be that WoW has like... 5000 of missions and quests (those who play the game know better, and from those I've also heard that those don't have too much "meaning" to them *shrug*).
As for on-going content (not endgame, because it's not restricted to higher levels 50s), there are three missions and usually 3-5 live events each week - certainly could be more, but it's still far from zero.
But again, depends on individual requirements and interests.
Lol, WoW has awesome graphics, they're different, and by no means worse.
Yup, MXO has no end game.
A casual game can do Pandora is less than a week.
Archive and contact missions, leveling content, ok. No end game, BASIC quests missions, gratz! I think that can at least qualify it to use the word game.
Requirements/Standards, well if you think grinding mobs is content. Mr. Davis doesn;t really have any standards, graphics and an empty city is content to him.
FYI, WoW has a deeper and longer storyline with lots of quests, books, games etc that detail the story.
And last here are 3 new 5 minute pointless quests added a week. Great, sell it! Maybe the expansion MXO has will bring in all the new content. Oh wait, there isn't going to be one..wonder why. Oh yeah, no one plays it and it has no budget.
I've done box 1 in one day, don't tell me this.
"Archive missions and contact missions, levelling content, k." Yea, just a few dozens ya know, incoherent and meaningless, not worth mentioning. Way to put things off.
Yea, the quests and missions don't seem to require brainwork apart from rare exceptions.
What I meant by "requiremenents and standards" was content quantity, don't read things into it that aren't there.
I've never said an empty city and graphics are content - they aren't "content", they're visual aspects.
Didn't know about WoW's storyline, sorry. Although I wouldn't believe you by word that it's "deeper" or meaningful, I'm not sure (!) how much you understand or know MxO's. Sorry.
Hmm, one thing you could say is that very much of MxO's story content is freely viewable on the internet, not in the game.
The weekly missions and events are far from being pointless or meaningless, they tell the story and are coherent.
We've gone over that already, and you didn't seem to have much to contradict. I guess you're just saying it to put them and me in bad light artificially - and then you complain about marketing compaigns and wonder why you get this back.
I don't sell it, I just told about them. I haven't tried to convince anyone that they'll be amazed by or interested in it, it's up to personal area of interest.
I doubt you can such a mission in five minutes, and even if you can, certainly without reading the texts, trying to understand what exactly is going on and why you're doing something, thinking about correlations with other missions, other orgs, other chapters and events, or events.
That's really their main values, if you're not interested in and skip through them you wilfully miss out content, which is really your decision.
And oh, you just ignored the events. What, they don't count?
I've never said anything about expansions, you just made that up from nowhere.
You see - I have my previous post and yours in front of my eyes. I just list some content in MxO, give some numbers, their general values, put everything's quality in question by individual perception and don't describe anything as being "awesome".
You come here with meaningless sarcasm, counter arguments against non-existent points and derogatory comments about my person, based on things I've never said, and only a few points I could consider valid.
I'm just giving info about the game trying to answer the OP's question, you artificially (?) try to put everything in bad light.
And then you complain about biased promoters. Oh man.
TMO has very little content and even less interesting content. This is the main problem and the cause of it having subscriber/player retention issues.
End game isn't there at all.
No, no, don't think too much about it. Just askin'.
