Before WOW, there were MMORPG''s. After WOW there were online solo single RPG''s. |
Any word on this? Hoping for at least the standard Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Humans, etc... (Please, no Anime "rent boys" with wings, like some games that are out.)

The race choices sound cool. The "heroic quests/tasks" and hero status sound contrived. Why can't they just make a world, throw players in it, and let them find (and earn) their own destinies? How many MMO's are going to impale themselves upon the Spear of Failure by force-feeding players linear or contrived storyline gameplay? This is working towards defeat; adding elements to drive away players. Ex. the video mentioned a "rescue person from burning building" quest. How lame. Now if the building was burning by itself and not set up on cue for the character, then it might be spontaneous and more meaningful. But feeding the gameplayers a stream of contrived storyline scenes to act out is just lame and says "STORYLINE" instead of "WORLD."

Three things cannot be long hidden, the sun, the moon, and the truth. |
Honestly they've not really said much of substance yet, so you'll have to wait and see. It's true that they've 'formally' said that humans, elves, and dwarves are in the game, but at least they are supposedly making them different than standard ones, whatever that means. Also, supposedly they are going to add more race(s)... Goblins sound like they might be neat, and we've seen them in the video and some screenshots at least, plus there were tweets a while ago where someone mentioned goblin females. Ningen wa, ningen da. |

They told me I'd never survive, but survive was my middle name. |
I'm sure there will be more than 3 races, they will probably wait until the game is closer to testing to release more information. Playing: Age of Conan, Aion: Tower of Eternity.

even if it is only 3 races the gameplay could be dynamic enough to make every class feel really fresh and new.

I actually like the epic storylines in MMOs and it is one of the features I look for in a game. Don't assume everyone is looking for the same thing as you. If you don't like it, move on. With that said, just because the story line is available in-game doesn't mean that the game will require you to take part in it. |
