Voyage Century

Ok one night i just scrolling through the list's  of endless mmorpg's//
whilst i cross them off my in mind check list, i stumble across Voyage Century
(i noticed the rating 8.2)  after dl this Game overnight,

i havent stopped playing it since, i still finding new things in the game that seem
different from MOST eastern mmo's

::Thing with korean mmos is that they are all the same nerly, everyime i go onto a
korean based game, first thing i look at are the crafting, i expect to see from a GOOD mmo is somthing like mining/smithing/woodcutting or whatever, but then its just somthing real gay like "OH COMBINE ORS U KILL FROM GRINDING INTO UR WEAPONS LIKE 9 TIMES TO MAKE A SUPER DOOPER WEAPON!!!!!!!!"""::

thats just real lame, most kr mmo's are like that..

BUt THIS GAME iS like RUNSCAPE 3 or whatever..
lol even though i hated rs
thing about this game is that u dont just grind>!!!
u have FUN!

mmor are all about fun GOD dammit
not how shinny it looks but how you love to play it
there is always somthing that you are looking forwad too



this game deserves a better rating still..


here are my problems with other mmos... (JUSt my opinion ok )
""i have played all the one's listed here so dont think i dont know
btw im not a fn noob (even though i sound like one)

World of Warcraft  (play it at your own risk if you want to sign ur life away that is...
communty sucked no one ever tlaked hardly high level players think they are the best coz they got 50 pizza boxes stacked up enxt yto their hard drive"\

Thank the Lord! Finally someone who actually loves this game and expresses it on the forums and doesnt let those 10 year olds ruin it.

yes this is game realy cool and this game some new in mmorpg world

I agree, this game is currently entertaining.  I hope the item mall doesn't ruin the experience.  I strongly dislike item malls and the idea of being able to buy items with real currency.  I understand this is a bit of a norm in Asiatic games, but the concept is totally unwelcome to me. 

I also hope that the developers add meaningful content outside the Med. as it is becoming quite crowded and people are pushing beyond Algiers now en masse.  The city seige update is highly anticipated.  Hopefully all will go well with that.

You might say I'm enjoying my experience thus far and am cautiously optimistic.

Well I don't want to bust anyone's bubble but the cash shop is necessary since the game does need to rake in some revenue. The point of the free to play formula is to bring in as many players as possible since a certain percentage of players will buy item mall items. If you take a look at Silkroad and other games like that you will notice that they have been made as grindy as possible. This has been done to *encourage* the player to buy as many item mall items as possible since only few people will pay for something that is not necessary.  F2P games have to be specifically tweaked to at some point become as little fun as possible without buying cash shop items, not to mention the very low production costs which can be felt at any point in these games. How people can sometimes still force themselves to grind all the way to the top with out exp. multipliers is really beyond me.

This is the part that worries me about VCO though. The game feels substantially less grindy and simply more fun than the normal cash shop games (from what I heard it's actually p2p in China so that may be the reason) so cash shop items will HAVE to give people some substantial advantage or only few people will bother with buying them, resulting in a low revenue for this game... and thus quite possibly its failure.

But I  guess only time will tell

      The only real diffrence between P2P and F2P games is when you pay to experience new skills. A P2P generally has you pay for sets of skills in one lump sum with expansions. Whereas a F2P allows you to pick and choice which skills you want to enhance your game play over time. The eventuality is either way you put out money and support the game. Free to Play games have sometimes a issue of people buying massive amounts of skills towards there advantage because there willing to sacrifice the money. Sometimes this causes other guilds to fail even though there more skilled.

  I personally have no problem with Item Malls. I use them. Due to the fact I subscribe to games like going to a movie or paying for dsl for entertainment its no big deal. I tend to pay about 7.50 U.S. Currency in a normal month on a F2P. This makes me competitive with the masses and I still save money over a p2p. Anywho I think VC was almost to fair with its Item Mall. With there model you deffinetly could achieve a successful guild with planning. Im not sure how they plan to stay profitable if theres not a huge need to use the mall....
Hey if it works for them it works for me

Well even though you don't have a problem with donating to a game you like via the item mall there are still many people who take the "Free to play" for granted and won't pay for item mall stuff unless they really, really need it. While I consider most of the F2P games too crappy to even play for longer than a week, let alone pay for them Voyage Century might actually be worth to invest money into, however I don't think that many people will agree to this as long as they can play for free without being at a disadvantage for not paying money.

People will probably call me crazy for caring about the revenue of a "free" game but like ALL F2P games VCO is here to make money and if it doesn't make money it likely won't be here for long and that'd for once be a shame.

But then again, I didn't think Guild Wars's financial plan could succeed since I believed it to offer simply too much for too little money and still it worked out.
