After trying out EVE online free trial, and having tried getting the free trials for EQ2 and FFXI (though didn't for various reasons) i fell i need to narrow my search down a little.
After reading about on these forums, i can now give you a decent list of what i am looking for. I want the game to be/have:
- Must have crafting, in depth if possible (and must be profitable)
- Must be able to level solo, but have the option of partying (i don't want to be forced to party for quests etc, but more for fun, like searching a dungeon or something)
- Grinding is good if there is a variety of monsters to fight
- Not to bothered with the PvE/PvP, though i would like to walk around without looking over my should for pkers
- Not too bothered about the cost, but there must NOT be a player shop, i dislike advantages that the richer people get.
- If it is class based you must be able to make 3 or more characters, otherwise im not too bothered about class/skill
- Any skills that you can gain through the course of the game must require xp to level (Flyff used to do this, but changed it to points. And EVE online isn't xp based either, i mean something like runescape where skills must be grinded aswell as combat)
- I want to walk about and experience the world myself. I hate being immursed in a game that is one big quest that everybody has to do, though i don't mind optional quests as they help you to level
- The learning curve makes absolutely no difference to me. EVE online, which apparently has one of the longest learning curves, i got the hang of in a few hours.
And finally the graphics must not be TOO demanding, i only have an intergrated accelerator thingy graphics card, not a nvidia geforce or radeon (This is the problem i had with FFX). Oh and EQ2 is still an option, i didnt download the free trial properly so i didn't get a go .
Thankyou for reading through all this, and please tell me if theres a game out there like this
