This is a great game, but not for everyone. You are getting in to a game that some people have been playing for years, know intuitively, and have outside programs to help them. There is incentive bordering on necessary to attack other players …
Transactions between ingame-players will carry-over from out-game persons.
If you really want to insulate each avatar from outgame transactions, make each avatar get its own armor/weapons/consumables.
Otherwise, good frickin' luck with ur …
Haven't played, just looking. Nevertheless:
WoW has no consequence PvP. (Can we call it ncPvP?) WoW is certainly successful, but ncPvP certainly kills any interest by the hardcore community, who will keep paying a particular game for years…
I'm for higher end content = guilds and larger groups. Its an aspect of MMPORG, these aren't meant to be solo games. If you need an MMPORG you can solo with all the time, you can do that with some other game online or offline game.
On the othe…
I don't think you should slam designers because they were associated with SWG. It had many great things; crafting system, unique character types, interesting character advance situation. What you don't want in the MMPORG is a WoW-clone. No iss…
Kind of missed the point of this game entirely, and depends on why you play MMO's.
You will like L2 if you like pvp, like a sense of accomplishment, like to work within a tight guild, can stomach some hard penalties for death. So, L2 has plenty…
hard to reply to some of these threads, because they wandered all over the place. Just stick to the subject matter, open pvp or restricted pvp. Open pvp needs:
Veteran gamers - pvp is, by definition, nonconsensual combat by one party. You …
Thread is a little old, but my 2 cents. The prior posters are right, WoW and L2 are opposites, except each, in their own way, have PvP. WoW is the fun easy-to-play game, L2 is the life-time commitment.
I don't think you can get into L2 at all wi…
I don't want to talk about SB. It sux'd, should die. But the interview was very good. "We are still in the world of EQ clones" oh so true. I could comment on more, but disagree with the conclusion. She blames lack of money and lack of technolo…
When L2 came out in NA it got piss'd on by reviewers because the game doesn't kick in for many levels, and it has the mother-of-all grinds. On the other hand, now that we are almost 2 years into L2, it has a large fanatic fanbase, so take your pi…
I can see private servers if you want to experience the mechanics of another character. But you lose all the reasons for playing L2. No community, no continuity with your character.
I notice all these posts that have some wicked leveling pl…
More so than other games, L2 hangs together as a whole, and is geared to clan pvp. The castle siege system is the apex of clan pvp. And the number of mobs you need to ko is gruesome. So if you want a pure pve environment, there must be much bett…
A second post on this thread just for new catagories, because other people had some good ideas.
Should have "best design concept". This is where you might be able to slip in some of the lesser known games, or DAOC's rvr, or WoW's auction system…
Would have dropped GW from all catagoires, just not in the genre, but then they are part of mmporg.com.
Eve is heavily pimped on this site. Not that it is a bad game, though I personally could never keep a connection up, and its brutal on discon…

Most of the reviews were done in open beta, 1 1/2 years ago, and, my guess, reviewers got up a few levels and then wrote their articles.
Lineage II doesn't fit that, at all. You don't get your "real" character until Level 40, for most people 1/…
