Ok now here's my question: What were you folks putting into your pipe to smoke when you decided against making a NICE (yes, I said nice) rigorous chain of level 30 armor quests that should have included a long adventurous (and divine) strand of lore? So instead you decided to put on Asian eyes and make it so that we have to level 5 different toons to 30 to get the full set. That's just being pure lazy imo. Kinda like something you just decided to let be as is right before your lunch break.

This, my fellow gamers, is what I mean when I talk about there is just no immersion nor depth in the PvE storyline. Ok yeah, you have amazing cinematics which do bring something new to the table, but I am sure everyone can do without that in order to have a nice feeling of immersion and storyline being braided in with their constant character progression. Needless to say I'm looking over the horizon for the next (I'm really starting to call these) attempts at a good MMORPG.

First off lemme start off by saying daaaayum girl. LOL jk. In all seriousness, I feel you - I got up to level 31 and just straight up got bored with it. I know you hate VG and all, but I think you should take my word on it this time and give it a swing. I thought it was amazing before, but now it's even better. What killed it for me was the population, but I've seen so many people in the starting areas, I feel like I'm gonna be part of something in there. No, it's not the PvP server, but that's ok - we have AO for that lol.

And 2nd, lol @ you joining "LoL" and getting blamed for their noobishness. Ok now enough posting/venting and come join me - Talemire - Xeth server, start on the new starting island. At least there you have a BIG class choice too, so anything would work for your taste.

 

Gerry wont let me.. well, he says he refuses to play.. so.. :/

Did you sub to it? Im not sure if there's any more trials and what the limitations on it are... What if we can't party if I choose a trial.. It doesn't mean I'm willing to play.. It means "looking into it" lol...

Yeah I subbed! I heard all the good stuff and jumped to it. And as far as trial goes we can grp together, and since I got the limited edition I have multiple trial codes :) So you have zeeeeerrrooo excuse. Lol so what if Gerry doesn't like the game, he will see it too when you play. :)

Nice, keep the votes and comments coming. Although I tried my best not to post a biased poll, I personally voted "no," because after being on both ends of the stick, in the end, I still thought it was stupid that I was "seen" by an enemy player behind a wide hill lol... Mind you, I still thought it was dumb that I was able to see an enemy player behind a corner. Maybe this should have been given only to scouts and on a cool down (meaning limited usage). I just enjoy the thrill of the hunt and being hunted. Again, this is just my opinion.

There you have it! Vote away!

I lol'ed at the OP's ridiculousnessness. Really dude? Did that ruin your day? I expected you to compare at least something to WoW, as you fit the stereotype well. I'm disappointed in you, man.

I'm very impressed so far, and I've experienced many many launches. This is the best so far, but as others have mentioned, we can't reeeeally say til Tuesday afternoon.

Here here! :) Tis a good game indeed.

Not sure to be completely honest. I've always liked hybrid caster/tank, so I'm not too sure what Aion has to offer as far as off-tank classes go, but I'm thinking Templar.

Lol this will be interesting to say the least. However, I think categorizing gaming addiction as a disease is a misnomer. That would be like saying any addiction (drinking, gambling, smoking, x-treme sports) is a disease. It's a state of mind, yes, but it isn't something that requires medical attention or any kind of medicine. Most of the stated is simply habitual. Just my 2 cent.

I applaud SV for this. Things like this put a smile on my face.

RIP Michael... =/ I loved his music.

Mortal Online is supposed to be coming out soon.

The cooldowns on the abilities were ridiculously long.

It just wouldn't work. Not only would it be even more of a pain in the ass for the gaming companies (dealing with an angry playerbase), but it would make gamers feel like the more they play, the more they pay. Having that in the back of your mind as you're doing a 1-2 hour raid just isn't a comfortable feeling lol. Players can rest easy knowing that $15 will be taken our of their account every month - no more, no less. That's a win/win.

Give me an MMORPG with the Dark Messiah - Might and Magic combat style, and you've given me the best MMORPG to date.

You can't have a pvp f2p game that allows players to purchase increased skills.  It basically means that if you don't spend cash you are non competitive.  They either to need to make this a subscription game or just forget it.  The current design just won't fly.

 

If you purchase the monthly recurring subscription, you get an in game currency allowance, so it's highly unlikely that you will need to make separate currency purchases in addition to your monthly subscription. The allowance should give you enough to purchase the most powerful items in the game.

With all due respect, you just shot yourself in the foot with that comment. I was going to try the game, but now that it's in plain words: "The allowance should give you enough to purchase the most powerful items in the game," turns me off like a light switch. So in other words, subscribe, wait until enough money piles up, then get the best stuff in the game. El oh el.

Although what you say may be factually true, I don't think your boss would like that kind of stuff written on the forums in such blatancy, especially by an employee.

Best PvE is a toss up between VG and LOTRO, but i like VG's gameplay a lot more. The only  things holding me back are:

1) No more Team PvP.  That gave me a good sense of danger when exploring in enemy lands.

2) Development seems to have reached a halt with still a very low level cap, and very little added content since launch.

3) Just not enough players around to really have that MMORPG feeling.

4) Class balance just isn't there.

This thread deserves a bump.

Wow, I feel a chill... Could it be? Hell froze over?

For once in an MMORPG, a company gets it right. Finally... freaking finally... A very, very promising-looking game.

Blows Oblivion away, great graphics, 2nd-to-none immersion. I'll buy two.
