SOE really needs to come down on their pricing for this game and the original EQ.  They could get alot more people playing with realistic monthly fees.

originally played on Hinde.  Not sure which server my toon is now.  Any word on server pop -- I am only concerned on the NA servers.  Wouldnt mind playing a bit again, but not if the game is deserted.  Any feedback would be very much appreciated !!

sounds like shaiya which is a definite L2 copy.

I will give it a shot as well.

I don't see how anyone can make it to level 95, I got to around14 and was done. It's your typical Asian grinder, where every character is a clone.

that was the prob with L2.  Which could have been a great game if they incorporated more of western style into some of the game elements.
 

dunno, never tried it, but looks kind of interesting.

yes, the usual F2P setup.

...Really?

They can keep their colourful, cheery game. Are they seriously marketing it this way? I wasn't particularly interested in it in the first place -- the graphics are a turn OFF, personally. Now, though, even if I HAD been interested I wouldn't be playing.

Do the game's PR people honestly think that sort of promo would genuinely appeal to female gamers?

I'm honestly not as pissed as I sound, probably. More...surprised. Maybe it's just a culture gap...but anyone else annoyed by this?

I have played with plenty of female gamers and I can honestly say, none of them would be impressed with this either.

Graphics are decent, make you think that you're playing Kingdom Hearts, although the rubbish storyline will make you think otherwise.

There's not much room for role playing except for finding your 'soul mate' in game and act like a little jealous bitch if someone else hits on him/her(losers...).

Can't say that it'll be fun for most people after week #2(I've lasted 2 months). Community at the starter area is just a bunch of spammer bots advertising their crap AsdaStory Gold websites that nobody would go to, finding a good guild that is populated and active is a very rare find.

Performance on the game is very piss poor... No joke. The 'customer service' guys would rather work on improving their item shop that most of them are full of glitches or just don't work, not to mention that nobody goes on it, than to work on the feature that is the most important to their game; the instances, which seem to screw up and become inaccessible every week or so for some reason.

This is a VERY HELPFUL warning for mmorpg.com users to STAY AWAY from this game. Not worth registering and downloading.

 

Yeah, yeah, I probably could've said that this game is good for in-between MMORPG's or waiting for that next big MMORPG, but truth is, that it's very much not so.

thanks for the info.

I see alot of people QQ'ing about tibia weak points, no sound, no graphics, not enough mobs, to high DP.

 

First of, this is one of the first MMO's made, and hell ive played this diamond from 2000-2007 and some short times between.

 

However the game slowly got ripped apart, due to raising population. And kids QQ'ing about updates. And its logical the creators give us what we want.

 

This game has almost been destroyed by people that don't understand what games are all about. Besides no game will ever beat this one for me.

 

So stop your QQ'ing because this game is for Oldskool Die hards. Even the people with bots can't surpass the politics in this game.

 

Greetings from Holland

well said.

I've played it. The game is unique, its turn based battle system is unlike anything I've ever seen in MMO and amazingly fun. Also crafting and collecting in the game work well and are fun, and grouping is encouraged by the game mechanics so that many people actually like to group. All the core game mechanics work well and make up a fun game.

But then there's the grind. At the beginning of the game there are quests and things to explore, but after leaving the free to play areas the whole game is a sandbox with huge grind. There are many things to be done: Dungeons (a serie of battles), professions, guilds taxing other players and battling other guilds for right to do that (collector system), complicated profession system, raising pets, breeding mounts, etc. But everything either is a huge grind or requires a huge grind to do, wich turned me off from the game.

But I'd suggest you to try it, the game is incredibly fun before you start getting bored to the grind, and when you get bored you can just quit. And since there is large free to play area it doesn't cost anything to try, the game doesn't have item shop, or at least didn't have when I last played. Also the monthly fee is very low compared to other pay to play games.

And I'd suggest playing on non-perma death server, at least at first, to learn the game.

EDIT: Also, the community in the game is really good. There are some idiots on free to play areas but almost none on pay to play areas /EDIT

sounds interesting.
