Cabal online goes P2P

Akaziel

when you ppl would read the licene agreements you would know that the game will be p2p ...its just for the ppl who doesnt know it already

maybe it could be f2p anytime but there would be no updates/patches for the game and maybe the servers would lag =/
so...accept this situation and play other games wich are maybe f2p
maybe...dekaron when it comes out...even when there is a high criticism rate ^^ ...kk that was enough for today o.0

and sorry for my bad english xD

That doesn't translate into P2P. It might be thier blanket licensing agreement for all thier games. It may mean that you still need CC info when making an account as a method to stop farmers or hacks. Personally would be an interesting model if a F2P game needed a CC info on file and maybe cost your RL money when your account it caught breaking the rules. It would certainly keep people in line. Also if they plan to make thier money off people buying equipment in the game the more you want to be sure players DO have a method of payment availible.

At least it would create an very interesting marketing model. If someone wants to be a Jerk let them pay extra for the right.

Well the developers and the Gm's on their official forums have already said that the game will be P2P, i personally prefer it to be p2p since that means that they acctually will try to make the game better than it already is

I thought I was be able to play Open Beta of Cabal this weekend. After the download the and installation. I realized it was only for Europe.

There goes my anticipation. Since it's P2P, I might as well wait for other MMORPGs to come around.

dont worry guy, i just spent a whole 2 hours playing the game. graphics is not good, very simplistic even with maxmum settings. The combat system is even more rubbish, the skill system even more rubbish, and every other things that revolve around it is rubbish. My character moves awkwardly, the environment is not immersive... and i just dont know why the trailer looked so cool when it isnt

Well i stopped reading at "2 hours" because theres no way you can say anything about the game, let me ask you, did you get the combo skill? or how about aura, first battle mode or second?? honestly you can't really judge the game just after 2 hours...

Regarding the trailer, all of what is shown comes in higher lvls and takes more than mere 2 hours to get.

Level 50 blader in closed beta. Everything he said is true for the most part. The skill system is a bigger grind then the level system, 3 days to get level 50, 2 weeks to get my skills to a.master. Its all grind, game forces you to afk on target dummies because you would never keep up your skills otherwise.

Dungeons are timed but all you do is kill the strongest and they all die making the dungeons extremely easy, game is pure potions spamm, as long as you have 200mana pots and 100 hp potions you can solo anything you neeed.

Game is a time sink in a boring way, once you get max level, you spend hours grinding money because your skill cost 3mil a piece at Amaster.

he fighting is cool , the combo system though problematic, is fun once you learn it, the trailer does look cooler then the game actally is, once you get your second battleform, the new weapon it is basically the iwin button in pvp. Giving a class a 1 hit kill is game  breaking(blader) and wizards an aoe 1 hit kill is even worst. Battleforms are gamebreaking, to the point where people doing duel unless they are in battleform, which mean, people dont fight until level 50.

The skill requirement for gear means everyone is built exactly the same, and like all korean games there is not diversity, all the armor and weapons are the same for all level ranges, so you know what level someone is, by looking at their gear, unless they screwed up their skill points.

alll and all, the game is good, would be a fun run for a free game, but pay to play.. i dont think so, the game is not that good. If they havent flushed the beta boards you can see my reviews on the game there, its much longer and mroe detailed.

This game is not a contender for the real MMOs that are on their way out this year, people who actually want to pay for this game are crazy.

Lol, one thing you missed. Cabal Online is run and operated by a website by the name of www.gamengame.com which have a strict policy of free games as they run Ran Online, SilkRoad Online, FLYFF, SpaceCowboy, Martial Heroes, and many more. So no matter whatever thing you have there, the game will be free. Atleast until it ends it contract with gamengame.

I have played it for a month, it is really the first game that attracts me so much

I played the closed beta and had a lvl. 50 wizard and lvl. 40 archer, and yes it is the same old boring grind type game. The timed instant dungeons are boring as hell after awhile when you find out they are all the same. I will not p2p ths game at all. This is just another korean grindfest game. I do not recommend it.

ospolos

I am waiting to see what happens with the non europe versions, as I was a little late when first finding out about cabal, with the ip blocks and all. I would most likely say it is probally worth something I would pay for though.

It's not going to be P2P first of all.

Second, Please, before you flame a game, give it a chance. I won't even consider reading your whines about this game if you never got past level 30. I myself had a level 40 force blader. It wasn't to bad. It was a little grindy but what MMO does not have grind besides WoW?

harabas

i've played the game....

and it's not much that it's going to be P2P....

Considering you supposedly have a level 40 force blader, you quite obviously never read the forums, as it has been stated hundreds of times that it WILL BE P2P. I was a game advisor through the closed beta phase (you may remember me as Korath) and even in closed beta they had said it would eventually be p2p.
