9.5 rating is accurate untill lv 95ish then it goes down...way down

wait till your lv 95 and you find nothing to do for money except grind on the lv50 map

no new or decent equipment, youll be using the same armor as you did at 60, no variety *edit* theres a few armor sets after lv60, some are just for looks, not really better and others come much later in the game and are very hard to get

crafting is a giant money sinkhole, as said before, youll be grinding the lv 50 map just to pot yourself

once you hit skill cap you realize that the skills, for the most part, that you used back at level 30-50 are gonna be the skills you use the entire game (boring)

unbalance pvp as a force blader can just about one shot anyone (bm2 skill) while other classes get bm2 skills that have other purpouses other than pvp

you buy premium service so you can leave you computer on overnight, punching skill dummies so you can get 10 skill points by morning -.-

nothing to do after lv 95 as you hardly get quests, the xp per kill goes waaay down and the way you play changes from dropping huge groups of mobs solo that drop all kinds of goodies to having to party to kill 1-3 mobs only to get a drop that you would expect from the lv50 map

also, i refuse to play f2p games owned and run by gold farmers and botters

i remember how fun beta was, since there was a community, now the only community is that of the gold farmers, they ruined the chat and therefore the community

  How about I call it what it is? A shameless advertisement.

yeah the op (op in many shameless advertisement posts on this forum for this game also) couldnt had made it more obvious.

i cant stand how people associated with the game they are posting about, try to come off as an excited gamer who has FINALLY found a better game than wow.....as much as i dont like wow (because of the pre-teen idiots and ease of game play) its still a well put toghether game that isnt skin deep, as these asian grind mmos are (grind...end of story kind of games)

i dont know how many games ive downloaded and regretted because of shameles advertisers such as the op...Rohan was one of these game...so now, and i hope others follow suit.... i tend to shy away from games on this forum loaded with shamelss advertisers and fanbois

i mean look at my thread regarding an honest, somewhat critical review of this game (what this forum is suppose to provide) i got only one reply and it wasnt even that descriptive

so to the shamless advertiser OP...just buy a damn banner ad and leave the reviewing to people not associated with the game

thank you

both rappelz and last chaos are cut from the same asian grinder game stone, in both games your only goal is to grind to get levels (rappelz adds grind for getting pet drops also)

both have good graphics and have lag

but i didnt like last chaos for the reason that there was poor character classes, rappels has more of a party centerd race selection as there are more support/tank/dd classes, at least grinding in parties is fun as everyone in the party has their role

i found last chaos more of a grind by yourself which for me was INSANELY boring after a short time

although in rappelz too you reach a moment in the gmae where you question "why am i grinding, what is the purpouse"

hopefully you reach that point after spending a minimal amount in the cash shop

as with most asian grinders, they turn the grind way up on both games for those who dont pay, and again, as with most asian grinder, you would have ended up paying less for a p2p than with these cash shop games, if you want to be competative that is, and with these kinds of games, the onlything to do is try to be competative, as quests are minimal after the grind wall hits, and pvp goes to the guy who spent the most.

so in my opinion...get a job...work a few hours a week...just play a pay2play where the game at least give a fair advantage to every player and wont gouge you in the wallet for a competative advantage, in a game with nothing to do but grind at least.

i played this game ages ago when it was in beta

i guess they still got lag and dc issues

did they ever add sex options ont he characters...i really wanted to play as a male magic caster but all they had was the orc tranny shaman...i mean they made him wear skirts and half tops seemingly from the female caster collection

hey no one envys this game, from what ive seen it offers nothing new, just the same old grind..to me all it seems the OP is doing is trying to get free positive marketing on this game....since apparently it cant get positive marketing on its own merits

well at least i got one honest review out of all the fanboi threads..thanks

ill probably avoid this game anyway, seems to be your average grind-a-thon with nothing special about it

wish they released more games with some substance..nothings wose than hitting the grind wall in one of these games only to realize that all that is left to do is grind

guess im glad now that i went p2p before they combined all their billing staff with AoC and before these b-day offers that they keep messing up

wow, that sucks for everyone who is returning only to get the error payment message.

kind of defeats the purpouse of pulling back old and inactive players if your going to SCREW them for giving you a second chance.

"yes thanks for comming back....now lets talk about you not paying for your time gone".......what the hell are they smoking....at least upgrade the engin and whatnot before you start pulling that crap..

im just curious though, how many of you guys just let the account rot and how many of you logged on to myaccount and clicked cancel subscription when leaving? not that that give them a right to ask for old money...i mean you coming back is better than them not getting any money or an old player to return... right

what game isnt hack/slash or shoot/kill, not counting sport games at least

anyway, hacking up mobs in the dungeons for loot is the only thing to do

so one day it dawned on me, what the hell am i doin here....grinding a boss over and over for a rainbow drop....for what...why...what is the point.

i mean pvp is so "balanced" that there is no advantage between a lv1 and a lv100 when fighting each other...and any class can use any other classes equipment and skills

no guilds, or realm vs realm, or any reason to have all the good equips, so why am i grinding a boss for them

and quests were just boring with no real storyline and gave utterly worthless rewards

add some content and tone down the corneyness and this game has potential...or at least give the option to turn off npc's loud and obnoxious voices

also some class uniqueness would be nice

so its a fun game for a few weeks

about the whole funcom stock slide...

i do not think it has a thing to do with anarchy but everything to do with AoC.

they keep saying AO is self sufficant regarding making money, and im sure with even less players than they have now it would still turn a profit.

it has to be AoC

was a large investment and they are not getting the returns on it they predicted, couple that with bad press on their release (not from the press but more or less player word of mouth) and you got declining net worth.

but i will make a predictions, in a year AoC will be on the rebound and in 2 years time im sure it will be tip top and ill still be playing AO instead

anyway releaseing the game before it was finished was most likely a way to create revenue to support its further development....you get lots of nasty pre-teens who hate you but long term i think it would be much better than risking losing it all for a prolonged release (for the company that is)

also you gotta look at timing, release AoC now while theres not a decent game out, or release it when War comes out.

so for as many people on this site who loath funcom, i think they are doing what is best to preserve their company, and they did give us one of the few games that isnt a total asian grinder or a game loaded with elfs, pixies, and wizards.

well he mised the most glaring negatives about the game

its not a free game, you dont pay  "you no log in"

when you do log in you realize that there are not that many people on the server to begin with

the community is crap unles you dont speak english and have a fervor for botting and buying gold from gold farmer

also the grind is terrible since you cant do the trade route well untill level cap

this game is garbage and the community and the distributors who run the game ruined it

from what i uderstand is that the korean version is played like its suppose to, your refering to the global version which is a trainwreck

kinda sucked because this is one of the few asian grinders that offers something to do other than grind for years (it has that too)

but, im long over my wasted time on SRO, and over the time wasted trying to log in only to get d/c'ed, and while i wasnt d/c'ed or trying to log in i was ksed non stop by people in some guild with a turkish flag for the logo, or by players with gjkisnhgkj as the name, or by players who just dont respond (i assume they were botters and of the few servers i tried they were fairly common)

also, its been mentioed before that they keep the server capacity cap for free players down to a very low %...youll find that after being unable to log in for an hour due to traffic that the game is mostly dead, at least dead for a server that it says is full

this game just go soooo boring after such a short period of time

nothing to do but grind, other than trying to block gold spammers or avoiding bots who ks

good luck affording anything in game too, the gold farmers got all the good mobs camped and all the items prices are inflated from idiots who buy their gold from the farmers

so unless you bot and buy gold from the chineese farmers...this game isnt very fun

must be fun playing with the entire game on ignore

just another asian grinder...good graphics, tons of pointless grinding for levels, nothing much else to do otehr than grind, no real story line, mabey a dungeon or two in case you want to grind mobs there....oh and a cash shop that gives the advantage to those who want to shell out cash

why do they keep making these kinds of games?

is it because they are fun for a short time, mabey you get suckerd in and give them chash?..you get bored and do it all over again with another of the many asian griners

wtb: european or north american developer to buy a korean game (just for the graphics no click to move please) and make a pay 2 play with substance please

its a fun game thats kinda funny, but  c'mon lets be real, for a longer term game, sci-fi or not theres nothing to do in the game but grind dungeons for loot....i mean what else is there to do...its a fun game for a few weeks though

p.s. that lady merchant's voice is so freakin annoying, you know the one closest to the teleport or w/e...in fact almost everything that was funny about the npc's got old fast and usualy resulted in me turing off the game sounds and music

but developer #2 (the one fer' it not again' it) was right, the corny parts of the game make it stand out, if you can get over the extreme cornyness of it all.

so open palm slap to the developer who made a game with nothing fun to do in it and giant backhand to the developer who took that game with nothing fun to do in it and made its corny as hell

theres some free forum for the both of you

double post to celebrate the double thread

now im pretty users from what people said in game that it is really a free 30 day subscription but if you dont cancel the account after 30 days, then the payment choice you selected starts. i guess if youve been screwed by them before i could see the confusion but its like any free trial, they ask you to select your payment choice for once the trial is over so they can start charging you should you choose to stay (or forget to cancel).

still a good deal, since i was unlucky enough to pay the full amount for upgrading from froob a month ago....its now like $7 for full expansion with 37 days before monthly subscription starts..... sucks for me i guess =/

It's an older game, so the quest system was an add on and it's not very mature compared to games like WoW. Unfortunately, that does make it grindy, but there is a lot of content in there. You can mix up what you do and avoid the grind to a degree.

It is a much smaller community than WoW, but it's generally a lot nicer than WoW. The community has shrunk to the point where teams can be hard to get. Best forum would be the one off the AO site.

if you have all the expansions finding a party on RK2 is very easy.  Problem is that most people are looking for parties in one of the expansion maps, so if your froob the easyest way to find a party is to ask on global chat

there is a ton of stuff to do, a level of depth that you dont find in most games....this is a game that will take years of play to fully "master" which is why it still has a following and a healthy population on RK2
