That's because I haven't gotten to the games starting with E, Martinmas. Although I just worked on the list a bit more today and just finished adding games starting with E so there you go. :p

Sovrano, I have not gotten that far. If you take notice to the red text at the very top of my original post you will see that I have only gotten to the games starting with D. However since you bring it up I will add it.

Thank you for that information, b1iz. :)

Naljamees, can you prove to me that it doesn't? I've never played the game so I am just going from what I read in comments and reviews.

I work on my original post about once every two weeks. Unfortunately I just don't have a want to work on it that often. >_>

Yup, I just checked why that might have been and they cleaned out older posts. Anyways the bad links were cleared out of my post for me. <3

Edit Add: I'm toying with the thought of revamping the original post. *ponder*

I can't open that megaupload saying not support my region (not in NA)

Is there by chance there are other place I can download all the patches through somewhere else?

I am getting frustrated in the speed of download at the MO client !! =(

Also their constantly website down made me mad =(  can't view the forums for help.

Check out my post in another thread. It shows you an alternate way on downloading from MO without using their client. Link.

When in a PUG, you're dealing with unknowns. Player skill is not a visible quality. Gearscore is. It's always a bit of a gamble, but a higher gearscore at least reduces the chance that a player will be absolutely terrible on the grounds that:

1. If they have great gear, they've obviously been in a lot of groups. Experience counts a little.

2. The higher the gear is, the more the item stats will act as a crutch to mitigate poor performance.

Well put and I agree totally.

... One claimed he wasnt concerned with the numbers of his GS, but just the fact the numbers were low, meant his skill level was low...

Are you sure he didn't mean his actual dps when he was saying that his numbers were low? I've heard and used that wording before and was referring to his dps.

The whole gearscore issue has been pretty common since the addon was released. It does provide some usefulness, but most of the time people misuse it. I've been in some ICC five man heroics with players that are around 3.5k GS and it helped to inform me that this group was going to be pretty rough for me as the healer. I am always willing to be proven wrong so I stuck around until the very end and I was correct. I worked a lot harder in that group.

You also need to consider that many players in WoW are subpar. To some extent gearscore does help the poopy players become average and acceptable in PuGs. That is why you sometimes see raid groups requesting silly gearscore requirements. A raid/group run isn't always a guaranteed success with people that have high gearscore, but with normal content you have a higher chance of success with a higher gearscore.

I imagine the ones that don't live in safe neighborhoods or single parents that can't watch their child all of the time and don't trust the sitter to keep 100% watch.

For the people having the Entry Point Not Found error this information may help:

"Go to the patches folder in mortal online - Copy all the patches to a backup directory (should be a few GB so you know which items to get) Then uninstall Mortal Online, and reinstall with MOSetup.EXE

after its done installing, put the patches back in the original folder (you will have to create the patches folder yourself i think)

I had to do this once before myself about a month ago" - Gabriel_knig via MO forums earlier today

You don't have to redownload anything... like someone already said.

I just use Bittorent.

For the people that are waiting days for the patches to download here is some information that may help you:

"First off this issent so much a question but rather an answare to a lot of questions being asked the past 2 days.

in order to speedup your download you can use your own torrent download software insted of the client, for some resone this seems to go a lot faster.

what you need besides torrent software is the patch file which is located in your "mortal online directory"/patches/ (mopatch0to05)

drag this file to your torrent software as you allways do and watch it download at a lot higher rate than usuly.

once the file is done downloading, copy it to your
"mortal online directory"(mortalonline) directory.

now startup the client again and watch it download the patch very fast and now your able to apply the first part of the patch.

next is the 2 part of the patch which is a 265mb file." - Cyberraptor via MO forums from 2009

I had started downloading the patch from the primary MO game client a few hours before I found this information. Then I did what this person suggested and it is almost caught up to the MO game client download. The average download rate from the MO game client is ~1kb to ~ 100kb with it being closer to the ~10kb most of the time. The Bittorent one is ~20kb to ~250kb+ while being around ~50kb most of the time. I figure I will let both of them go and see which finishes first. Netflix Farscape marathon until it finishes woot! <3 Netflix

From what it sounds like this game is pretty different from the majority of games being released. It will be a refreshing change from the usual enter into game, find quest NPCs right near you, and do easy quests until max level. I like that it doesn't have a beginner tutorial and hand holding. I am not getting my hopes up though while I wait for the downloads to complete. Quite possible I will hate it, but it is doubtful as I have a fondness for unique games.

I may be misunderstanding as I haven't read everything on how DDO and LoTR subs work, but isn't the gist that the game will be F2P up to a point and then you have to pay in order to get further? Please correct me if I am wrong.

I think each class has their own mount and some of them are really cool, I'm a dual gunner and I'm not sure what my mount is but I saw a rifleman riding on this hover motorcycle thing lol

You can find the Dual Gunner and pictures of all of the other mounts HERE on the Aika forums. I love that mine is a huge white unicorn cat.

I don't pay much attention to the news posted on this website so I can't say I have directly noticed what you have. However I can theorize why such a thing could be taking place.

I imagine it's partially because mmorpg.com might want to make advertising for F2P and P2P equal. Most know what to expect when it comes to a P2P game. Frequent updates to fix bugs, possible expansions, better character balance, more game play options besides leveling, lots of others to play with, and in general just a higher quality compared to most F2P games. Not that I am saying some F2P games don't offer what I mentioned, but it is expected from P2P games and therein lies the majority of advertising for them. Most F2P games are generally thought to be poop which makes them somewhat ignored. Until reviews are done and a free incentive, aka contests for in game stuff, is offered most people are unaware of a game or won't give it a look if it's just a name on a game list.

Another reason for more attention given to F2P games might be because there is usually one or two coming out each month compared to P2P games. Just look at the game list on this website. For P2P games there are 113 listed and some aren't even released yet. For F2P games there are 280 games. New games means new and different things to report. There's only so much that you can report on in a P2P game. Add into it that not every game has a correspondent and that there are a limited amount of people that are actually on staff and you will see why some games are ignored.

The last reason I could imagine is that a lot of people are either unable to spend money on a game or are unwilling. Look at the LFGame forum and you will almost always see on the first page that someone is looking for a game that is free. The F2P genre is popular so more news and contests on a popular genre means more hits for the site.

I doubt these are definitely the answers to your question, but they are pretty good possibilities and I hope they answered your question at least somewhat.

I enjoyed the game very much until Tabazra Desert. You spend around seven levels there and the majority are just kill quests. Meaning you just kill 50 of this mob or 20 of two different kinds of the same mob. It's a pretty big difference from the quests in Amarkand and Verband. Amarkand wasn't as fun as Verband, but at least it had a new dungeon. You don't get a new dungeon until Lost Mines and people mostly want dungeon mates that were 40+ for it.

I quit after finding the same thing in the beginning of the next zone, but I may play it again just to see if the questing is still just "Kill 50 Merkbees." I'm level 38 and you're supposed to get a mount at level 40 I believe which I am slightly excited to see.

Edit Add: Just cleared all history and it seemed to have fixed it. *shrug*

I use the most up to date Mozilla Firefox with Noscript. I temporarily allowed all scripts on this website and noticed the original issue of this post is only on one theme for me which is the dark theme. The light theme for the website is fine. It just happened a few days ago for me.

The reason you probably don't play any alts/secondary games is because you are having so much fun on your primary character/game that there is no reason to try other things. I am the same way and the phrase "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." comes to mind.

Thank you.

Uhm yeah....me too.

The only thing I can think of that would actually make this a LITTLE useful, is if it also sorted people by their gear level and kept track of who has been kicked from PuGs for either totally sucking or ninja looting (and specified which).

There is nothing to guarantee a good PuG. Even well-geared people can be bad choices if they're ninja looters, jerks, etc.....

I just don't see how this really does a THING that LFG panel doesn't already do.

 

/shrug

I totally agree with girlgeek.

This game looks very similar to 4Story. They even have the same characters in their backgrounds on their websites. The story for each game is also somewhat similar. *raise eyebrow*
