My latest bad experience has to be Corum Online.

Guild controlled dungeons? Ok I'll give it a try!

After not being able to get the game to start because their AutoPatch doesn't work worth a damn, downloading it three times from various places, Install - Uninstall - Install - Uninstall- Install, to reading forums looking for Manual patches and finding thread after thread of "Help It Won't Start!!!" and "Try These Broken Links"!

I finally just ran the main client, which worked.

Hooray, finally! And what do I get? Poor graphics, poor control system (click-fest), there is no hunting in the main world, its all in dungeons, I couldn't find any main body armor piece for my class, just gloves, boots, and hats, very few quests, plus a weird upgrade system...

Sorry Gpotato, you've got a real stinker here, although it was not as laggy as Flyff (another disaster).

Just another mmo...

Also, Scions Of Fate is turning into a grindfest with hackers all over...

And, yes, I miss Earth & Beyond aswell

Well said!

I only have two words for those wondering why they shouldn't play... LAG and Hackers.

Nuff said.

You must be confused, Legend Of Ares had the worst graphics I've seen in a long time. Grainy big pixel junk.

Hero Online had better graphics, not amazing but they kick Ares's ass.

Fredy, for that amount of money you could've developed your own mmorpg!  Or subscribed to several pay 2 play services and had way more fun.

Can't complain for fear of account lock? Holy Sh*t that is awful...

The more I read of this thread the luckier I feel that I dodged the bullet!

But, like Dob said, to each their own.

I only played for a very short time and my main problem was Lag, it was overwhelming when you approached more than one other person. I was stunned, because I have a very fast connection, which means it was server side Lag.

I see Dobbins point about money. It might be "free to play", but when you start you have NOTHING. Not even a weapon or basic tools. I love crafting in games, so that was very disappointing to me.

So after a few days of rubberbanding, being frozen when someone gets near me and mucking around with the only free tool "Sweat collecting" , I gave up. That's a hard thing for me to do, I try to give everything a good chance or two.

Oh and uh, most people don't like to play things that are hard to play.

Gripping about ID numbers? There is an "other" option for 8 of your favourite numbers. Don't tell me you gave them your banking info? lol 

I had way too many lag problems with Rappelz. Graphics problems as well. I finally gave up and quit.

It's a really good game IF you have a really good computer and a T1 connection...

Haven't had any such problems with LC so far. It's running really smooth.

Good Gaming!

Yes! Instancing is the new way to go. Cabal Online is using it as well, and a few others (I forget which, didn't WoW promise to use it?? ). It solves the overcrowded hunting spot problem.

Me two.. er... Me 20th.

Great game so far. Hope they keep up the good work!

Drella - level 21 Mage
Qigo - level 8 Titan

both on Katar 6

Good Gaming!

Of all the mmorpgs I've played ( at least 50 by now), this has one of the smoothest, least taxing, graphics engine I've ever seen.

I play LC while running RealPlayer in the background, It's so good.

If you are having problems, you need to tweak your settings. Start by turning off Background music.

Good gaming

OMG, I'm so glad all the invitaions to play DnL, that they sent me, had no download links.

I was sad I couldn't play it. Now I'm glad. Didn't know how lucky we were.

And Yes, remove it from the game list. Whether fraudulent or not, it's gone.

Yikes, what a mess!

The article on Asheron's Call in the latest newsletter had a "free trial offer" link that pointed to Anarchy Online's News section.

lol No big deal, just FYI :)
