Hrmm well my play session was good up to level 13 when my Int was debuffed for a year by a brain disease. RL was a uphill battle tell level 20. Upon entering career mode I finally began earning excess credits as my free housing card was still active. Now my free housing card is gone and I make a meger living doing basic crafting. Hehe altogther though enjoyable at level 26 because I hooked up with a level 21 nurse asian faction nurse Talk about excelent pixelated boobies, the physics are better then DOA
The only part of the game that I am having trouble with is the 'stamina' required during certain quests after you have gained sufficient faction points with the female faction...
Originally posted by faselei I been playing this game for 26 years now and well I think it pretty much sucks, "IRL" (In real Life). For a start upgrading your character requires hours of grinding. The noob area takes 16 frickin years to get through! The missions include ‘survive depression when 15’ and ‘don’t get hooked on drugs’ as well as ‘getting laid’. Since then the games got even worse, I wanted to improve my fitness and stamina stats so I have to got on the training missions like ‘ride your bike up hills’ and ‘swim for hours and hours’. Its rubbish. Then there’s all the missions and sub missions you have to do every day, for example in order to earn female faction points the player has to keep, the Mother, Girlfriend and Sister NPCs happy. Mini missions such as ‘changing a lightbulb’ and ‘mowing the lawn’ help with mother. Sister was placated with ‘design and build a pc’ mission which had mini missions, like ‘trawl the internet for parts’ and ‘build the bastard thing’. Girlfriend is a different kettle of fish all together, simple favours and tasks won’t do the trick here, instead hours and hours of carefully designed crafting and dialogue are required, but the main method, is given her 100% attention during your waking hours. Instead of riding a horse you get a ‘car;. This car requires constant bloody attention and the other day a random event meant some little shit broke into it and nicked the stereo. This requires re-buffing the car‘s stats so the door will open. You can’t just run around slashing mobs to collect money, you have to ‘work’. This is actually the thing which takes up most of your time… 9-10 hours a day grinding missions and profession stats. A Gamemaster NPC called ‘your boss’ passes constant random missions and tasks to you ALL day. If you don’t do these mission he shouts at you, fail enough and you get sacked, then you run out of gold and cant buy food, which lowers, strength, stamina and health stats. Every day you have to go to the toilet, this is disgusting and annoys the hell out of me. If you don’t wash you smell, and you’ll lose female faction points and will find it hard to find groups for missions (called friends in irl) and you may get sacked. The worst bit is sleeping, where every 16 hours of so you have to find a secure, comfortable horizontal area, to lose consciousness for 8 hours, how much of a chore is that? I mean wtf? You have to do it every night, even if your in the middle of somthing. Plus as you level up, whcih is based upon surviving years rather than exp (its skill based afterall), your abilities actually go DOWN! Even by mid lvl 20, little things start to go wrong with your avatar, achy back, clicky knees, the list goes on. By lvl 80 you can hardly walk! Oh an i almost forgot the pets, do they go and savage mobs? Do they buggery, my cat just sits around and occasionally sick in my shoes. Frankly I don’t recommend this to anyone, there is an exit button, but well … I guess not. (Hook up with me: Lvl 26, Engineer, UK Server).
May I have a link to this game? I googled it but didn't get anything useful. Thnx

Thank god she isnt another one of those chinese gold farmers then since they seem to excist in most mmo's nowdays
I don't care much for IRL. Most of the players are complete idiots. They will only choose leaders from one of two guilds even though there are many more options. The classes are horribly imbalanced...stats like INT mean nothing while characters with high CHA or "pretty" avatars get all the best gear without even having to grind. And don't even get me started about the procedures for cancelling your subscription!
oh and about the development cycle...I've heard different things. some say it took millions of years, others say 1 week. I guess it just depends on who you ask ;-)
I just wish the "boss" would payout with some rewards after attempting to do something it likes.Is there a way to obtain a new boss i cant seem to get this one to go away?
What about the ability in mid 20 levels to create a group?This "family" i think its called?
Im not sure i saw that in the owner's manual?
Any advice would be great!!
Want to ENJOY an mmo?
Dont start a guild and dont be a leader or volunteer to be coleader or captain.
A lvl 20 college student is trying to figure out what to spec. I have all my general skills down but there are so many classes I could go into. Should I go up the merchant class and make a profit or be the healer and help people out of charity? Should I defend my views humbly as a Paladin or be the warmonger and lead huge armies into battle for my faction? At least when I finally hit lvl 21, there will be a party at the local tavern.
Finally when I max my life I'll get to meet the developer of it all and ask him why there were so many problems IRL.
P.S.

OOC: Comparing RL to mmorpg's makes me sad and not want to play them anymore as I grind enough already.

dude can i join your guild? i have to admit the quest of "getting laid" at level 16 was my best experience in IRL... which reminds me, i have to ask this "michael jackson" avatar how he customized his character appearance... an oh do you think this "bill gates" avatar is using zeny hacks or bots?
I kno Irl sucks, like u have year long quests. It takes 1 year to get laid. And if u do anything wrong you loose points. I mean i pk ppl everyday and theres no safe zone, like wtf? I pked this lvl 90 andl ike ppl aer following me and trying to kill, no friggin safe zone like in RS or AO. I can't even log out. and u have to sleep!?!?!?wtf u have to sleep somewhere nice or you loose healthpoints and focus points. Also the mini-games are wack, like masterbating and playing sports. Also u ahve to take a shower. and when u gety our arm cut off it won't grow back. you just can't teleport. Also theres an impossible quest. Getting with 2 Female players at the same time. I kno its friggin impossible. And if u do it by chance it doeson't go off your quest log. Also pking is wack. You can't pk without getting into trouble with the guards. You can't even kill the guards unless your like superpowerful. IRL SUCKS DON"T GET IT

I've been playing too, if it wasn't such a large corporate game designed to cater to the masses it might be more interesting to play. My great grandfather did beta testing and had quite an adventure. He talks about it all the time. You could walk out and place your house nearly anywhere . If anyone offended you, you could blow him away! Back then it featured unrestricted PvP and full looting.
Comments
I could say alot of this, but this is all I'll do:
I never thought of real life as an mmorpg, but it isn't a bad idea ..
Maybe it will motivate you, you'll never know
RL is a MMO ..not MMORPG
for some ppl RL is rts
for others FPS^^
Glad to see it captured a few imaginations.
You know thinking of it like that is kind of motivation. You too could be higher rank, just need to train / work / grind etc.
Nah scrap that last comment it sucks for 90% of people on the planet.
Thank god she isnt another one of those chinese gold farmers then
(this is still a humor post btw )
I LOVE this game!!!
It has fully implemented bio-mental feedback with integrated lateral skill consciousness and hyper-herbal olfactory response!!!111!!!
And the best thing is that you actually get drunk when your toon drowns a couple of beer. Cheers!

careful though, If a GM catches you, you get 10 levels of exp-debt
.
