Hi,

I've seen on your personal picture you're a fan of Deathnote. I'm a great fan aswell and read all the books with a lot of enjoyment.

But to help you on your search I would recommend Shin Megami Tensei. It's a game which has some nice graphics and it is situated in the future Japan I think, not sure about that. Another important feature in the game is your pet and I thought there were quite a lot of choices to change it stats and looks.  Here you can see how it looks like : ).

Hope that helped.

Hi,

I've read what you are looking for and I think you should give Vanguard a try. The community is quite small but I heard that the community is pretty friendly and gentil. The game offers a nice combination between sandbox and themepark MMO's.

Another game I would recommend is Allods, the game is quite new but it seems that it is beeing picked up by a lot of people pretty fast. I didn't have a lot of time to play the game myself but I must say that the gameplay is filled with grinding. The annoying type of grinding=> Get a quest -> Kill X monsters Y / Gather X skins from monster Y -> Return to the questgiver and get your reward. But since you have played WoW for quite a long time this should entertain you for a while.

The game is F2P so that's a plus. Here I posted the links to start you up, enjoy!

Yeah, mmosite.com is handing out Allod beta keys. I even think that the allod CB will start on the first of november so you still got to days to obtain a beta key.
They are quite simple to get you only need a  MMOSITE.com  account.

I'm so looking forward to this.
I do hope they are not exploiting their Cashshop too much to influence the actual F2P gameplay.

Well, that's too bad for you but in my opinion this game isn't that graphic intensive, it is just like most of the other free2play MMORPG's . If your computer can't run this game this means you should really update your hardware. The minimum requirements aren't even that high (512 MB RAM en 1.0 Ghz).

One server, multiple channels, which you can freely switch between. Then you can choose to be on a busy channel or a quiet channel, depending on your mood.

I agree with this, Maplestory has a feature like this implemented. By this feature u can join a crowded channel if you're in the mood to party, and when you would rather play on your own, you can always decide to log on to on of the less-crowded servers.

Well I agree with the OP.

The game really looks great and it offers quite a lot of content, especially when you consider that the game is free2play. But in your post you say you don't like games that involve a cash-shop, but you do have played maplestory, in maplestory you can really buy some major advantages. For an example you can buy double experience scrolls which gives you ... double experience. And most other items you can buy in the maplestory cash-shop do offer you a great advantage (pets, tele-scrolls,...).

Hi,

Well I choose for multiple servers. Because in some games you already see that there are too many people playing on one server (waiting for mobs, lag in towns, ...). And that really sucks, it drains the fun of playing a MMORPG.
But on the other side I also agree with some of your points. Sometimes (in WoW) you really need to wait a long time till you find yourself a decent party to party with.

Make pies of every kind and sell them for a good amount depending on type of pie (level 51 to 138)
Black Dragon hide (level 80 to 138)

euhm, I've just found quite a stupid mistake... But the max level for each skill is 99 so you would need to cheat to get a skill to level 138.

But I think this guide is quite bad, there should be more details and those ways of money making aren't the best out there.
 

The graphical style looks really awesome. It looks like the game is directly ripped out of a comic book. And the storyline looks pretty intresting, the races and classes do so aswell.

I might even give this game a try eventhough I normally I don't play isometric games like this but this looks really great. Can you tell me something more about the actual gameplay? Is there a lot grinding in the game and how are the skills? And does the game feature a crafting system?

Hmmm

First of all, why did you post this in the Open Beta discussion board. You should have posted it in the Scions Of Fate subforum. Then more people would be willing to help you.

But for an answer on your question: you might want to check if your numlock/capslock is on. Otherwise you could just try to make another ID, or you could use the Recover last password feature. That might be usefull.

I totally agree... The Grand Exchange update really changed the whole daily life in Runescape. I remember the drop parties, always crazy fun, telling people you would drop a dragon chain xD. And then there were the 100's of people that were shouting what they were selling at the varrock bank,... aaah good old days - before the Grand Exchange update- ...

I totally agree, I started playing this weekend and the players are so freaking helpfull, if you want to add me, my IGN is phatpete, see you ingame :).

Agree with poster above, you can try Runescape and Mechquest and there are a lot of text-based mmo's out there aswell but I don't think you're looking for them. So you should really try Runescape, a great game if you're new to mmorpgs.

Hmmm,

You could try Ryzom. A great game and I'm currently trying it and I think it's free2play till the end of Octobre, this is a great way to see if you want to keep on playing if the game goes back to P2P. The game really has the best crafting system ever and the PvP is quite good aswell I heard( haven't been doing PvP yet ).

Hehe,

Good old days. I also remember most of the great updates but then they made some mistakes in my opinion. Like the PvP updates, I really miss the Pk'ing with some friends and the Grand Exchange, another one of those  lame updates, no more "becoming rich by merchanting".

I don't really think that Atlantica Online is the game that you are searching. The gameplay is pretty slow because of the battle system.

If I were you I should play EVE online, since this game is something different and if you are willing to spend some time in it, the game is a lot of fun. The theme is completly different then most populare MMORPGs, so that will be a pleasant change.

 

May i ask you what lvl you got to?

Hehe, I havent played it myself, I just read some of the comments on the game, one of the frequently used comment is that due the turn-based system the game goes pretty slow.  

Agree, on the 9th of Octobre the second Closed beta will be launced. And think they gave away another 30.000 keys so if you're lucky you will receive one.

On the 9th of December the Open beta will be released and on the 25th of December they game gets its official release.

This is a Good project and you had a great idea.

 

This are questions i would add:

 

Does the game let you built your house?

Deas the game let you personalize it ?

The " bank" of your item is the house ; and can you own more then one?

In the RVR can you conquest outpost of the other faction?If yes , does the outpost give you some benefict for construction or trade skill?

Is the istance the main target of the game or is just a second way of lvling?

Are the istance a number restricted place or a free for all place without any limit of player inside?

Is the loot gived to the first one that loot  or just following other rules?

Can you vote with a ingame system for a Mayor of your faction?

are the item soulbound or can always been tradeble and useable

Are items that suffer damages been repairable? and if yes repaiting them will bring them always to 100% or just to the lvl of the repairer , and the item will ever suffer a permantly lost of % that you wont be able to repair

Are you always in a starshipe or you play olso as a person?

 

 

 

Some of those points I really like, but other ones just seem useless to me...

-Does the game let you build/personalize a house.
-Are the items soulboundable, or can they be traded.
 

Hehe, Qazza

You might love it now but when you reach level 20 you will see how boring the game is. It's always the same: get your quest -> completeyour quests -> grind till the next level -> get new quests ->...

But if you don't mind grinding this might be a good game for you, and they have pretty intresting updates coming up so this is actually a pretty good periode to join the game.
