SO WOW. I tried this game a couple months ago and freakin hated it. and quit. The thing that made me quit was that it didn't feel like any other mmo. And different means bad! Or does it? In Atlantica's case it doesn't, the addicting micro-managing battlefields, multi character control, huge battles with your friends make this game not surprising that it is top.
The Producers definitely hit on the little things, such as teleportation, mounts, huge map. Quests are easy for the directionally challenged with their (optional) quest markers. It's just so cool that it is F2P.
The only draw back I have is character customization. Gosh if they had picked it up a lil more on that side it'd be near perfect. I regret quitting and not giving this game a chance, I am now totally addicted.

takes a great man to admit he was wrong about something.
I wasn't so captured either 1st I thought ok this game has some ok features and I instantly liked the option to have a 9 party merc but other than that it wasn't so good... or so I thought.. I laid it to rest for a couple of weeks then started up again and now when I've gained some more knowlegde about the game as well as attained higher lvl I must say that this one pretty much beat the lvining shit out of most other mmo.. and most of all it's free... well at least for those who can hold on their purse and avoid shopping
well i got to admit i never thought this game would become so good i played it uninstalled because i thought its too different nobody gonna play but now i regret too that i didnt play it now im addicted too!!
yup!im going on level 95 and i still have no plans of stopping anytime soon. i have done so much in this game, and i still feel i still need to do more yep...addicting alright.
this is top rated because of so many fetaures and they always updated they features and upload new patches and they give some bonuses experience inside the game ^^
It's top rated because the game in itself is quite decent, and most ppl dont actually play the game for a month at least then vote.
The trick is that the borring common asian f2p part starts to show only from lvl 95+ (120 is or was top lvl when i played). Uptill then you got almost nothing to grind (if you don't count for crafting).
Last i played was some months ago had/have a lvl 108 char on thebes since before the melee nerf,when the highest dungeon for solo was aztec, so now the info might be out of date but i doubt they did something about the 95+ grind.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. A. Einstein
In my personal opinion, the game was at its peak in CB2, after that it just went downhill. It's fair to say they ruined the game, hardcore. I haven't played since OB so I don't know if the game is still destroyed or if its been fixed or not, someone care to fill me in?
I like the fact that they still working on major problems in technical... anyways i still love o play this game... there's a lot to think on how to be a good player... ^^

no its top rated because they either paid to be so, or have a sizeable vote bot army going. I think its both.
Its a decent game(only if you like the combat) but very far away from a top rated game.
Just look at the join date of all the people raving about this game.
I've played it, I would almost expect a gameboy to be capable of a game with similar gameplay (hehe asking a little much, but still being honest). There is no way a free game should be the top rated game on a site like this. Its free for a reason.
Good MMOs have depth in all aspects of the game....it's not there in this game. I can see where the combat can become addicting and occupy someone's time, this game is not a top rate MMORPG...sorry.

Could you be a little more specific where it's lacking "depth"?
It's got about 2000 or so quests, by my count. Not the most, but comparable to most other games. Also has a random quest generating system.
It's got about 40-50 crafting skills and crafted stuff is useful.
The guild system is extremely in depth, the deepest I've seen in a game. Guild crafting, owning and developing towns.
End game content could be a little better, but it has 7 individual instances, and what, 7 or 8 guild/nation instances.
You've got what, 9 main character classes, plus about 20 mercenary classes with more being added soon.
The only place it's really lacking is the visual customization department. But if you judget the game on its gameplay, not its graphics (as you seem to have done with that gameboy comment) you would find it quite deep. (And if you meant in other aspects than graphics, you've apparently never played any older computer games, many of them were more complex than more modern games, since they were aimed at a vastly different audience back then).
This game was raved about in the beginning of being something new, a game you were not expected to get bored of, and if you did happen to get bored the company would buy your character! Well I played the game a while back right before launch and quickly found that it was not the game I had hoped it would be (though I didn't really follow the game prior to it's launch). I quit after roughly a day and a half's worth of playing and almost felt a sort of relief to be rid of it.
After playing many MMOs I certainly would not rank this one among the top, and in fact would probably rate it lower on the scale than your usual top 20. It's an asian grindfest with turn-based strategy meshed into it. I don't think the game was meant to make you feel like you were a true part of it and it always gave me the sense that I was playing a game not living within a world.
Personally I wish more people would realize there are much better games out there to play and that Atlantica needs to crawl back into the dirty hole it escaped from...
You obviously never played Atlantica Online. I agree with everyone else, boring in the beginning, OMFG 1337 H4X0R later on. It's amazing MMORPG made you hardcore member.
It's just World of Kung Fu with horrid turn based combat.
You obviously never played Atlantica Online. Yes I have played WOKF, and yes I play Atlantica Online. I will agree with the other people, boring in the beginning, but OMFG 1337 H4X0R later on. It's a miracle you are a hardcore member.

Wait, what? You are the reason I quit MMORPGs... Stupidity FTL!

CATOSTROPHIC PHAIL!-----------> When an epic phail just isn't enough. Sigh. BTW, WTFH is an FTL? Stupid bacon. And, I wasn't talking to you. OMFG SO F***ING EMBARRASSING.
you can play atlantica online even if you did not use their item mall, you can still do the quest and make FL or pvp with other players... how sad... because this game is much better to a p2p mmo ^^
I played this game for along time. Since open beta started until about 2 weeks ago. The game itself isnt bad. The quest system is good, the combat is fun the free league system isnt horrible there are alot of nice things about this game. The thing that made me quit was I got tired of the cash shop. Everyone says this game is free to play but honestly if you play end game, ie near max level its impossible to play without cash shop items. Now if you are really smart it is possible to get them without spending the money yourself but someone is going to have to buy the items from the cash then for you. I got to lvl 120, max level when I quit. Basically up until lvl 80-90 or so you can do without the cash shop. After that though mobs becoming much harder to kill. It basically becomes to hard to kill them without either really good weapons or using a blessing potions / license. It becomes even more apparent after 100 when you start moving into america. The mobs have so many hitpoints that even there cash shop scrolls dont kill mobs in 1 hit anymore. Players actually trying to level normally without cash items are going to have a very difficult time. Also items are really rare at the end game. So rare that its not really possible to just get 2 or 3 or whatever like you can at lower levels to enchant items. For higher end items your going to be using Ori (another cash shop item) to level gear. On top of all this comes the mount boxes. They introduce a new mount or wings every month or so in order to get poeple to spend money. The problem is until other games if you want to buy a new mount you cant just buy the mount. You have buy a box which has like 13 items in it and 1 of them is the mount so you have like a 1 in 13 chance of actually getting what you want. Honestly I like the game but the cash shop ruins it for me. As such I stopped playing it and wont play it again. If this game was pay per month I would keep playing it.

i hope that after this upcoming patch the game will improve more cause we all know that
there is some small problem that they have to fix?...
