Howdy, Stranger!

Love this game!

EVERYONE, give this game a try, and give it time!

Well, Runes of Magic launched today.  I have been watching RUnes of Magic for months now waiting and anticipating the release.  I have not played Runes of Magic as long as I have been playing Atlantica.  I never thought I'd say this, but I LOVE Atlantica!

Combat in Atlantica takes skill.  I find that with Atlantica I want to log in and play for hours.  Combat is involved and requires thinking.  Sure there isnt a lot of magic/spells.  But I got thinking, 6 to 9 characters, 2 spells each, thats not bad come to think of it.

I started playing Runes of Magic and found I wanted to log off after a bit.  The combat is click, press 1, press 2, press 3, press 1, press 2, press 3.

I am an EX-WOWer for 4 years, and have NEVER played FInal Fantasy.  I always thought i'd hate turn based.  I LOVE turn based combat now!

             Alot of players have bias against turn based games......They think they are slow and easy and that only real time games take any skill........What I find though is that it takes more skill to play this than it does to play WoW, LoTRO, or EQ2 or many of the other popular p2p games.......I enjoy having to control more than one toon.......Most of the complaints I have heard about AO are very petty and I think there are some people who jsut dont want to like it regardless of the gameplay.......Some people get used to playing games a certain way and when they have to change they dont like it.

    Yes turn based combat is much better that those hack and slash MMORPGs, with this format you can device strategies and tactics in order to be successful in battles. I was also playing WOW then I tried AO, I felt excitement and longing for more of AO than WOW right after a few days, all I can say is that hack and slash MMORPGs is a mindless game, boring and it lessens your gaming skills.

    I loved this game because of its political aspect, in which a guild master can govern towns and eventually create a country (if his influence is strong enough). When I say govern towns/country, the game actually lets guild masters to perform pretty much all policies of the town/country in which he rules. These policies are concerned with security, economics, culture, and etc. which have direct tangible effect for the town.country. These features coupled with the one you guys pointed out, are the reason why this game is unlike your typical MMOs that are primarily focus on grinding.

    im also an atlantica lover.. i dont know why people dont like turn-based.. i like the type of battle because you can set your strategy and tactics well...

    Another Atlantica fan here

    Been playing mmorpg's since UO/EQ, and this one is the most addictive/fun/complex for years.

    The devs who made this gem are genius.

    Very much long I waited for such a game, the climate of the game is cool, lands, music of the battle are fairly good I am loving this game

  • JasdemiJasdemi Member UncommonPosts: 149

     I tried the game today, but the common crappy asian mmo engine is ruining everything. It reminds me too much on all the stupid grinding f2p MMO's. 

    The combat system is really nice btw. :)

     playing atlantica online gives you the thrill to play not just one charcter but 9 of them even make a fomation battle to line up charcters right!!!! turn base game is such a exciting game  to play.......

  • pinoyjesterpinoyjester Member Posts: 81

    hhahaha i'm guessing that there are a lot of noob player playing atlantica online (just like me) who couldnt stop talking how great this game is and would kie to share their experiences...

    Im still level 20 in game and i am already having a blast without still experiencing PVPs and being being in a guild.

  • TyrrhonTyrrhon Member Posts: 412

    Atlantica is just build group up as F2P game. It just fits. The game is cheap for MMO but it is designed with the budget in mind and it does not cut into the fun at all. The turn based system is pure genius - low demand on servers and something different. The outside graphics is stock asian MMO with unbelievable lag (none cares, I bet most of players never even notice) but combat works well on all levels across whole globe.

    It does get old eventually and does not really allow for expanding the gameplay but a) it is very catchy and truly free for quite a long time (so the kids believing in free cookies actually get one) b) since it is F2P you can return any time and play and pay as much as you feel like (yep, they make you feel so good that you just go and buy some instead of hammering item mall in your face).

    On contrary, Runes of Magic is much  more ambitious project but in the end it is just worse WoW/WaR/EQ2 that is annoying with cash shop. It is reasonably nice quite responsive game (big kudos - so what it is Tab123 when I use autottack once, I am doing jumphots and change attack sequence; just becauce i can lame it lazy 123 does not mean i have to) in a seamless world filled with quests - but why would you chose that game over another? Because you are naive and believe in free cookies?

    i love this game. that's all i can say. :D

  • MahloMahlo Member UncommonPosts: 814

    I agree, this game is a real surprise. I'd read a lot of praise for it, but was slightly skeptical. Having played it for a couple of days I can say it's the most fun I've had in an MMO since I first played EQ2. It feels fresh and has a lot of great features.
