I would play a single player RPG till this MMO mess gets sorted out. Risen and Gothic's succesor are about to come out, Drakensang is already out and Diablo 3 is probably going to be really fun.
IF you really want an MMO, I would look at LOTRO or WoW, both good games with good support to be honest.
I got to level 16 in aion, then I could not stand it anymore! It was just not for me... now im playing Fallen Earth and it is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have found my home.
Exactly the same for me !
Yeah its great if you enjoy a 5 year old engine, lag issues, crash issues. A Pure CRAFTING/Sandbox game. Graphically, well it takes place in a desert, so any 10 year old can do a desert with a box of crayons. The game does not even compare to Aion or WoW or any other P2P game. Pretty sure even Asheron's Call beats FE.
I could really care less what you think man, I love this game. You play aion? Have fun with your F2P asian grind.
-Player maxes all graphic options to ultra, player sees 10fps, player goes into hate mode, player says I can have ultra on WoW, if I can't on Aion, I wont play, Aion sucks!- -Player creates character on "popular server" is lvl 1 and experiences lag, player says ew Aion server sucks, Aion sucks period, player quits sub without trying other servers- I'd just like to point out that Wow's engine is old, and any current upper low to mid range graphics card can get away with almost near max settings, and people need to understand that some other games might require an upgrade to their card. Also that I dont play either WoW(anymore) or Aion so don't flame me for being a fanboy -_-.
Whether WOW's engine is old is irrelevant. If a player thinks that the graphics good, that is good enough. WOW's engine is old but the art direction is timeless and things still look good.
That itself is a BIG competitive advantage. If Aion cannot make a un-demanding graphics engine and make their scenes look good, it has no ground to complain about its competition who can do so.
WOW is a fun starter MMO but it's graphics are terrible...Period.
Lineage II, Guild Wars, LOTRO, Granado Espada (SOTNW) are examples of good art direction. WOW is not, so for the LAST time stop trying to add it to the great art direction list. Their goal was a game that could be played on a toaster and they succeded. Their bet payed off.
That was the price they were prepared to pay for it to run on any pc.
Actually World of Warcraft has a great art direction. Its visuals are outdated from a technical perspective, sure, but from an artistic standpoint the game looks stunning.
Yes it's art direction is stunning alright.... Stunningly bad.
From a gameplay & UI standpoint WOW is among the best games made...Period.
From a graphic & artistic standpoint it's among the worst made....Period.
You can't have it all no game does. Again this is the price Blizz was willing to pay for it to run on any PC.
Low pollys doesn't have to mean low detail, other titles have proven this. If you've played those listed above and objectively reviewed them it's quite clear WOW doesn't compete artisticly.
WOW is the subscription leader because it's fun and has some of the most intuitive controls and UI of any MMO to date.
Not because of graphics or artistic direction, so again please stop this nonesense.
You can keep up this art direction is bad all you want, fact of the matter is that World of Warcraft's art direction has been universally praised by critics all around the world.
Blizzard doesn't have to pay the price because you're confusing technical and artistic. A game that looks artistically impressive doesn't necessarily look good from a technical perspective and vice versa, so to say that blizzard has to sacrifice in artistic to run it on all pc's is a big misunderstanding.
If WoW has a bad artistic design in your opinion, which is pretty much universally disagreed with, then what do you consider an mmo with a good artistic direction?

He obviously doesn't know "artistic".
DDO Unlimited is the best choice, you can thank me later
I though you had to start psp after level 12 on DDO. So there forums say.
