Hey, I was thinking. (for a change) and I have been looking for a good MMO that is in open beta. (I couldn't see any other good released mmo's I havent tried) I came across "Cabal online" and as soon as I heard of the name I was like....wtf is cabal? lol, well, I had a look around on youtube, and watched trailer.

I could not understand why the hell I didn't know about this game before! The skills look better than all MMO's I have seen, and I just wanted to know If this game is not one of those korean style grinders. (even thought they can be quite fun ;)

So is this game any good, like....the gameplay?

Any suggestions would be appriciated! (sorry about crap spelling lol)

Thanks.

I feel the PVP in games where there is nothing to be gained but bragging rights is like playing poker with mates, but not putting real money at stake. Why would you care about going 'all in' when you have nothing to loose really, and everything to gain.

Not to say this form of PVP is a complete waste of time, but I do feel when there is something at stake (equipment, money, xp etc), the element and entire conflict is heightened to a new level. The tension is that much higher, the anticipation, everything... because no one wants to loose the shirt of their backs...

I understand that not everyone likes the idea of having all their nice things looted off their lifeless corpse, that's why I propose each game contain a "Hardcore" PVP server (much like Rappelz, but unfortunately its broken at the moment). Once you create your character, and select said Hardcore server, a message appears, something like: Warning, you are entering a Hardcore Player vs. Player Server, where other players can kill you willingly and loot your items / gold / money etc. You cannot transfer characters to this server or from this server.

I for one would probably play 2 characters, my PVP Hardcore character, centred around making other PC's dead while my normal server character would be catered to grouping, Xping, adventuring and exploring.

Thanks for reading,

I personally find PVP entertaining even without any gain/loss. Of course when something is at stake all of the emotions that arise while PVP'ing do multiply and make it much more fun.

I suppose that is why i can agree with your poker example, but of course we all are different and we all approach this topic in different ways and with different views.

I didn't read all of the posts so someone might have mentions this... but i think there are ways around the whole Hardcore PVP system. I think if game is made with PVP loss in mind adding Hardcore Areas, PVP gambling (money, items), or other settings which allow users/players to make a choice, if they want to put their assets at stake in order to gain something can be implemented and are implemented in some games. I think that can work well.

Even those (thrill seeking junkies) who are willing to put up the most valuable items they own would be able to either enter those areas or bet them in duels for example.

Just my 2 Cents.

Cheers

If game&game will end up hosting cabal, more likely than not this
game will be F2P with cash shops. If you look at some of the games
G&G are hosting thats the methods they use.
But for our own good
and better customer support as well as better promotion of this game
let us hope that some other company will purchase the license to host
global cabal.

You can try checking out www.cabalonline.net

Also if you want, check out one of top fansites cabaldatabase

Game is in final closed beta right now.

Since global cabal open beta is starting soon.. i just wanna let y'all know that www.cabaldatabase.com is a great source for info on the game and it is filled with lots of players who have been playing the game since early euro launch. Most of our core members are very well known in global cabal community. Please do yourself a favor and check us out cause we just had a new face lift on the site. 

Thanks for your attention..

Cheers

Actually I must disagree with your statement. Cabal online is one of the better MMO's I have played in the past 5+ years. Especially if you like the Korean MMO's. I’ve played all the biggest MMO's out there and fun wise.. this game has lots to offer. I cant wait for NA version to come out so I can start playing it again.
