you still have buy all the stuff though, the billion $ worth of jewels AND do the quest to actually upgrade. its the LEVEL cap they removed, not the upgrade quest. YOu can go all the way to 150 now without doing any of the upgrade quests, but you ca…
Originally posted by laokoko I don't think that many people are spending money on the game. They just make ingame money to buy from those that spend real money.
LOL...that's a trip and half joke from the darkside. "make momey to buy from those t…
Well if you do find this problem it's mostly because the "GM's" are so use to doing themselves in the in-game forum that they probably don't think anything is wrong with it...as for them allowing certain players, well... again, brownnosing has it's …
Not being overly stuck-up and preffering content to packaging...I still say F2P/Item Mall = disaster and nerfing ripoffs. As to the mmo itself, I think basing it outside the actual show would be better, maybe "The tribes of Kobol" with the mmo takin…
What''s the skinny on Nexon though? Because NDoors raped Atlantica after the first 7 months. They nerfed and item mall whored to the point that 99% of original players left. I am actually thrilled there could be a possible change in the way Atlantic…
I admit that I played the facebook games for awhile, including farmville. They were easy and accessible. However, I left them all (save a little game called Fairyland) when I finally found a mmo sandbox game that actually had what I'd always wa…
The Indy mmo , though in alpha stage and simple graphics, Haven and Hearth is the best sandbox I've ever played. Kept me obssessed now for nearly 2 months since i found it. Has typical indy alpha issues but an awesome game.
Great article and so true. I've been feeling all these things ever since Atlantica turned from a glorious unique treasure to an item mall cheat/grind. Many of us there only stay because we spent so much money when it was "Good and fair"...lol The gu…
Well I've been playing a couple of week now and have been pretty obsessed with it. Yeah the graphics are old style but IMO the gameplay makes up for any of that in its uniqueness. I find it a very nice break from the big games i play (PS-Ragnarok an…
I'll add one, Haven and Hearth, a 2 man developed indy mmo. Alpha stage but not too many bugs and the gameplay is so, unique, that it's instantly took me away from my Ragnarok and Atlantica addiction for days since I found it. Complicated, intense c…

I actually think most of the best geared people didn't spend a dime on item mall.
The problem is this isn't a new game. There are people who play 5~10 hours a day for a year.
Add to the fact gear progression is very …
There's a whlole thread in the official forums about this and the success rates. On Thebes server there's been 1 shotgun gotten. As most have reported, it's usually just exp books. Personally with gold rate drop nerfs I don't see how anyone could ha…
I find an interesting perspective missing from your article. Your assumption is that nerfs are done in reaction to either "improving the game balance" or "responding to payer complaint". You forget the more OBVIOUS one that is at the foundation of …
Crafting is now dependant on your level, you cannot get a high level crafting skill unless you are high level period. In other words, to be a grandmaster or or master your charatcer has to meet the level requirements to get that level in crafting sk…

Got a question russario.... Is AO that great 7 months ago? cuz I've also read it in the main forums of how AO was great before. I just played maybe 3-4 months ago and when I started... for me it is still a great game.…
When it first came out 5/5. Most awesome game I'd ever seen.
Now 2/5 after 7 months of nerfs and a new campaign to stop all gameplay that doesn't invilve the use of item-mall items. Sad, the potential is still there but we'll just have to wait and…
This is an exerpt of a post I made on a game forum I play regarding Partying vs Solo. I think it says my feelings on this subject.
"Now, here's my problem with partying. I hate it, makes me uncomfortable 99% of the time. My personality?...a bit sh…
Been a tried and true respite from other games for over 8 years now. Nothing "terrible" about RO, it's a great and lasting game that one can call "home", you may leave for a bit but whether you play the official or a private server the game just has…
Seems alright, I didn't see anything new or unique. Seems to run on the same engine as Runes Of Magic. Characters even swin the same way. All seemed very familiar. A bit sluggish with finding NPCs (no auto move is blahhhhh). Seems a typical game but…
