Eu server: same with me, I used my PWE acc and it downloaded the US client. But when I saw that in Eu it's Gameforge, I rather stayed on the US East servers :)

Cash shop: the review is right, it's not forced onto casuals. I think in most PWE games they're doing the same, you can play free (or with slight shop usage) if you are a casual, and the heavier player you are, the more spending you need. Up until you reach pay-to-win land...

I hope in the summary review you'll note the forced pvp part in the middle of the game. I had great fun up until that point, it's a pretty good game.

What's the pvp part in the middle of the game?  I haven't got there yet.

Mount Edna. Its two faction. Ogre vs Troll (which are the NPC sides).  Its the usual gankfest that one expects from these types of games.   There is also an epic version (higher level).  Fortunately, thats pretty much it.  Unfortunately, the main quest line leads right into the middle of the warzone.  That area tends to be camped pretty badly.

Thanks for the heads up.  I'm not really into that so I'll have to figure out how to blaze my way through.

Like I said earlier the game feels like it has a very juvenille culture.  I occasionally get duel flags in the middle of a battle area.  Hopefully my mage can handle itself in there.

Just as Wraithone wrote. And I need to correct myself (as they always correct me on the official forum :) ) it's not a 'forced pvp' by the letter.

The game has a very strict questline (with 1-2 side quests at a time occasionally), if you don't finish a quest you can't take the next one. At level22ish your questline takes you into Mt. Eda's warzone, which is an open pvp area. You get a side quest to kill 3 other players, but you can skip that one (that's why it's not forced pvp by the letter, according to pvp'ers on RaiderZ forum...). But you have to questing inside the warzone until about level25.

Here's the catch: in the game you craft your stuff from loot drops. Killed players have a unique drop, which is needed to craft some cool stuff. It's dropped only from PK, so with it they make PK'ing is a desirable thing to do. And since players are lazy and like to farm, you have the perfect setting for ganking... :I  Without any warning, might I add.

You walk into Mt. Eda, after 22 levels of pve, searching for your quest destination. You find it. There are a few higher level dudes next to it. They one-shot you. "Thx, see you next time n00b". And they're right, you will go again, since you HAVE to, or else you cannot advance your quest, meaning you're stuck. But it's not forced pvp, according to them.

What makes it even more pointless is that after you finish the last quest in there, the game hops back onto the pve-train, and stays there until level cap. So basically you have a stictly pve game from 1 to 35, with a few levels of mandatory gankfest in the middle. It doesn't make any sense :) they must have a very lame game designer.

Edit: another correction, apparently Soul Stones are not unique, killed player drops, it's 'only' the easiest way to get them... my bad :) so not all the gankers are farming on low level players, some of them just a regular pvp jerk who does it only for fun :)

This game is the definition of shit, haha.

It takes a great combat system concept and ruins it with shitty content. The game looks terrible, is not optimized, and is managed by one of the worst F2P publishers out there today.(both NA and EU)

Not to mention PWE(NA) their fake 50% sale a while back? GG at paying $60 for a mount, it was never that much. From day 1 they said it was on 50% sale but it’s a really sad attempt at scamming people into paying for junk.

I give the game a rating of “Meh” No immersion at all watsoever its a game where you kill mobs for the sake of killing mobs. The story if u even bother to read the text & listen is more painfull not to ignore. MAIET pretty much pawned this off to PWE & Frogster and they deserve it for being such pay to win/pay for fun assholes

played alpha, got to the end of Mt eda(around 30) in the closed beta and only to about 20 in the open beta before i had enuf. Guess it takes longer for some people to realize how bad the game is

Monster Hunter is considered one of the best games around and all you do is kill monsters for materials, build weapons/armor with those materials so you can kill biggers, stronger monsters for more materials.

RaiderZ is basically a mmo version of MH.

If you dont like that type of gameplay why are you playing RaiderZ? 

 

im not ~_~
