Just that is not as indepth strategy like Guild Wars , and it has monthly fee.

Only good thing going for this game is their graphic department...

 

Hmm? I'd like to know where you assummed this from..

Let me guess 'It has instances it's published by NC so it MUST be GW..' by that logic Dungeon Runners is also GW...

Try again..

UO was my original MMO and I loved it.

I put faith in RG and Tabula Rasa for that.

I'm really hyped, and hopefully, the taking of territory will replace "farming"

"Hmm.. what to do today? Don't feel like questing/raiding, I'll go farm". And instead of killing the same mob over and over, just get some friends together and help take over the map. That kind of gameplay will keep me hooked.

That was the BEST aspect of UO pvp back in the day, with the faction system. You fought over towns and territory, not farming points to buy better gear. And, they were the ONLY ones still, to this day, that could pull that off with the Felucca/Trammel split. Everyone, and every server, could PVP or PVE when they wanted to. Just had to get a moonstone or whatever they were lol.

UO was the best PVP system, and I know, even if not at release, RG and TR will delivery the goods.

Beta key please? K thanks :)

As far as skipping dialog text, maybe Voiceovers are in order for this kind of a game.

The game sounds fund, and keeping the reviewer in mind (VG is "the shitt", and not into FPS's), i bet its allot more fun and engaging than this article leads you to think.

 

Good article nonetheless.

Don't get me wrong, I think TR is a fun game and I feel like it introduces a lot of new elements to MMOs - I LOVE bringing tactics back into battle.  I had a lot of fun just finding new areas and figuring out how to combat the enemies there - is there a shield drone I have to get close to?  A security camera I have to avoid?  A linker I need to kill as fast as humanly possible?

My problem is that I'm not really feeling the world immersiveness that  I think they're aiming for - I think they have the pieces in place, but they need to find a way to bring the user closer to that.  I also didn't feel much quest direction, but it's still a ways from launch.  It's got my attention, which is no small task, but that leads to the next task: Keeping it.

Fair enough, but i think its safe to say you prefer fantasy over Si-fi...right?

I am looking forward to the game, Garriot always challenges the norms to provide something different.

I look forward to reading more about it.  Well done article by the way.

You may not remember me... I was "Premium" on the CoH/CoX boards

(CuppaJo is in charge of the community for Tabula Rasa and former Community Director...?(or something like that) for City of Heroes)

You know what you guys need? A good cinematic giving everyone an idea what the TR world is about.... something giving us a feel for the game and what can be expected. (and not just people shooting floaties).

I find a video does the job real quick in a very efficient manner.
