The best RPG games I have ever played go back to the Commodore 64 days.

#1 Wasteland

#1A The Bard's Tale

Holy crap forgot about my commodore 64, yeah Bards Tale was the ish, and so were the gold box D&D games. WHat else, ZORK is another great one that comes to mind.,

they promised some sort of online capability, I think it was being able to download other players content so sounds like fun =D. Cant wait for this game

I tried playing this game once quite a while. I didn't like watching stick figures walking around and combat was awkward to me since I kept getting delays. I also thought the graphics were not very good though I could have cared less if the gameplay was there.

Anyway, I have no idea how it is now but don't care to find out.

I used to play something similar on the BBS back in the late 80s. The only thing we had back then was a turn based game in which we submitted our "moves" to the one running the game and found out the results later in the day or the next day. I can't even remember the name of it but it was fun for a while, then I got into Zork. I never played a graphical MUD before so this might be interesting. (I am not counting the MMOGs I played as graphical MUDs)

EDIT: Or I should say the only thing I could find instead of the only thing we had

I don't think they should have handled it that way. Not everyone can be on the same hours, if at all.

They should have given double XP to all players for the next 20 hours they are logged in. That way it doesn't matter when they log in, they would just get it whenever they log in again and continue until 20 hours of logged in time expires.

However, that would have been more work for them I imagine. It's a much easier route to just flip an XP "switch" for the whole program but it doesn't cover everyone.

I beta tested this game for quite a while. It is a little more complex to learn then something like EQ or WoW. It is a game that has to grow on you as you will seem like you are not doing much for a while. But after a while it may appeal to you or the pace may not be to your liking.

Of course, that was a long time ago now and I am not sure how much it has changed since the launch.
