P.S. for the Lineage 2 guy I quit at lvl 68 and by that time I was getting about 15% per day if I played a long time.
Best spin ever.
I haven't played them all, so I can't speak with any authority on it. According to a lot of the Asian posters on the board, however, not all of them do suck. Apparently there are a ton of terrific games made there that never see the light of day here. I think the problem is that all of the ones imported to Europe and North America tend to be free-to-play titles that share many of the same unpopular "features," and that's caused a bad reputation for the games of the entire region.
Now, I will say this- part of the problem is that Eastern and Western cultures (in general) due tend to place priorities on different things in these games. Perhaps some of that is due to actual cultural beliefs, or perhaps it's just because MMOs developed along different paths in the different regions, and we've become comfortable with what we know.
Whatever the case, I know that there have been "game concepts" from the East that I liked a great deal, but they were imported to North America with no attempt to "westernize" them other than a bad translation of in-game text. I love character customization, I hate the clutter of player shops everywhere (give me auction houses, dangit!), I don't like heavy grind, I do like immense mob variety, I abhor games based on purchases of in-game goods and services for real world cash, I require the ability to remap keys, and I can't stand click-to-move systems. And yet, every game from Asia that's imported to the West seems to have few of the things from my "likes" list, and tons of things from the "dislikes" list.
We can debate for years whether or not the things I mentioned are good, bad, or even important, but the main thing is that I (and I assume quite a few western players) feel they're important. Despite that, importers don't usually do much of anything to customize their products for a different target audience, or even realize that there is a different target audience.
Anyone care to think comment about Ragnarok Online (RO)?
qrRO (www.quantumraiders.com/qrRO) is better than iRO, btw
WOW's grinding isn't easier than L2.
From lvl 1 ~60, L2 can be just as fast as WOW if not faster...(I felt faster...15 min. from level 1~5 in L2 can you do it in WOW?). It's just level cap in L2 is higher, that's all.
Unfortuntly many tiny brain people don't even realize WOW is a grinding...just because those so called "quests" force you to have a delievery every 10 wolves or 10 thieves...instead of kill 500 all the way. It is exactly a grinding!
As the matter of fact, there is NOT any non grinding MMO exist at this moment.
At least Korean game such as L2 has good endgame fun with real open PvP and Castle Siege. Unlike WOW's carebear pointless "PvP", stupid meaningless battleground that isn't even a part of the world.
this is why we westerners tend to think korean MMO's are pap. because... they are.
...
Talking about South Korean made game not North Korea. Better yet North Korea isn't anything like you said.
Don't be so brainwashed yet ignorant.
umm I thought EQ and EQ2 are made by Sony, and that's a Japanese company.
EQ2 was made by a localized branch of Sony in San Diego, CA.
EQ was made by another US company and bought by Sony.

There are different locations for sony, you know that right? The guys who are working on the playstation aren't the same that are working on EQ
I love the ignorance in this thread. FYI guys, Koreans complain more about the grind in Lineage II than WE do. So stop with your steryotypical replys, "lol koreans
Well, killing mobs all day is enough? Well not for Korean games. Like I said, at least L2 has fun endgame behind the silly grinding.
What does WOW have beside killing different mobs? Nothing really.
hi guys!! =D
new to this forum. anywayz... thought i'd chime in on this topic.
i like korean mmo's (like lineage2) because the grind keeps alot of the young, immature kiddies out!

It also leave everyone else out too. every grind game a play i get tired of cause its the same damn thing all the time, like Hero online, its got good graphics and such, but its dry and boring cause its the same old grind.
if that were true, lineage2 would have younger players than WoW... but after playing both games... that is not the case at all
=D

Yeah I guess that's true, I don't mean to be rude but would you mind if I inquired as to your age?
EDIT: Sorry, forgot about the 'user info' button... Anyways at the risk of choosing to be offencive I'll cut off my post at that.
