General Discussion

When talking about the subject of this developer journal, MMORPG.com asked the Dungeon Runners Development Team one simple question: What's so great about Dungeon Runners? As you can see, the development team has a very enthusiastic take on the answer.

When you compare Dungeon Runners with many of the other online games currently available in the market today, you instantly see its accessibility, easy-to-play design and brand of humor that sets it apart as a unique, fun gaming experience. Developed internally at NCsoft, Dungeon Runners' was intended to let anyone have an enjoyable fast-paced massively multiplayer experience, with no extra cost to the player.

This free aspect of Dungeon Runners is just part of its overall charm. Unlike most other massively multiplayer online games, Dungeon Runners does not require an online fee to play, nor does it cost anything to acquire initially. All a potential player has to do is download the game, create a free account, and start playing. It's that easy. On top of that, you can create as many game accounts as you want, so in essence you can have as many characters as you want. System requirements are low and the game runs on most modern machines easily.

hmm i don't think its worth playing cause of the non-member stuff.

that's just like in runescape and to be honest runescape sucks
first of all you start the game you know at the beginning you think the game is good pretty sweet
but then it gets boring... but there is nothing we cant solve so you subcribe to jagex and make yourlself a sweet member account
but a member account is like the only way to actually play runescape cause
as a "free player" you dont even get to see a quarter of the game.

so what i think now is that dungeon runners is just like runescape,
the developers even said that for "some" items you need to have a member account

so i advice that you keep your hands of games like this, if you dont want pay the monthly fee

this is just an advice!!!!!

This game is great for a lunch break or something to do while waiting for some of the newer titles. Of course the more you commit to it the better the rewards, but you can play at your own pace without the overbearing feeling you are not getting your monies worth.

I put in 3 months of paid play time. So far I am satisfied with what I expect. The spoofy names do give me a chuckle now and then.

I am glad it just takes "the work" aspect of MMO gaming. No need to grind to level, just hop in and whack a virutal mob, grab loot, etc.

The game look interesting.  I dunno why, I didn't try it in the past...

Paying $5 a month isn't problematic, I use to pay $15 after all...

My question, if I am an evil hardcore player with:

- Subpar reflexes (not horrible, but under average)

- Allergic to raiding (medical proofs to follow shortly)

- Grouping fanatic

How would I find the game?  Okay, let compare with other games on the market and what I think of them:

100%:  CoV/CoH: Best MMO I tried so far, it isn't perfect, but it is pointless to have no game at 100%.  I hate the nerfs and the overall imbalance between some sets (which make you wanted/tolerated by groups, depending on your choices).

85%: AA:  Honestly, I can't say anything bad about it except maybe the endgame, but I was lacking the motivation to log in.

80%: SoR:  Many good ideas.  I didn't like the fact you have to do everything in order to be good, but beside that, I like most of the game (I don't like that tradeskillers are betters, to get components you have to raid in a PvP zone, etc. etc.).

75%: EQ:  Could have a higher score, honestly I really loves that game, especially LDoN...but raiding ruins it all.

Horizons: 65%:  Many interesting ideas...but...wasn't enought.

Unrated (below 50%): EQ2, WoW, Vanguard, DAoC, DDO, FFXI.  These games where not designed for players like me in mind, they have no appeal whatsoever.  It doesn't make them bad games, and they may indeed be good (DAoC is neat for peoples who like to RvR...), for OTHER peoples...for me they are not even worthy of the title: game.

I didn't even bother to try GW...leveling up seem quite fast, and the focus is on PvP...so the fun is short if at all, then boring forever...at least, this is the reading I made when I see it...I assume some players will love it, but not me.  I didn't even bother to try LotR either...I don't want to raid...
