mmorpg junkie since 1999
I see your concerns, but MMOs have a lot more pressing issues than genderlock. We know the graphics are great, but what about the gameplay? If that is good are you going to bin a MMO because of genderlock?
We have so few good MMO atm, that seems almost criminal to me. It may well turn out that gameplay is poor of course, I don't know.
The creativity gone into those is so much better than 'oh you want to play male, here just change your player model but you will play / be animated just the same as the female'.
Hopefully over time (and ive heard they already talked about doing it) they will make there own class version for Sorcerer / Ranger / Giant / Tamer and new Ninja.
Its currently being published in Russia, but a Korean game. I have no issues with the art style, anime is fine. Gameplay is always a question mark for Korean games however.
If we could ever get back to the point that "end game" took several years to get to and focus on "journey" we wouldn't have to worry about "end game." Or better yet come to the realization that "end game" is exactly that ... "end game" so time to play another game until the next expansion dropped. That said, the expansion content should take enough time to consume so that developers have enough time to develop and release the following expansion. That is how an MMORPG should be managed not this 3 day rush to "end game" and the heck with the journey mentality we see prevalent in today's MMORPGs.
... and I agree with the posters regarding gender locked classes in MMORPGs. I think we can widely agree that we all love looking at women but we have playboy, the internet, and something called real life for when we want to do that. Some games take it to the point of sexism and exploitation and this really needs to stop. One of my favorite games, TERA, has gone in that direction with their last three class releases being gender locked female characters. That really disappoints to me. The RPG in MMORPGs is there for a reason. These are role-playing games and some players may just want to role play as what they are ... males. They should be given that option. If you are going to develop and release a game have the decency and integrity to do it right. Laziness and lack of resources shouldn't be an excuse for skimping in this area.
