ROSE Online Forum » General Discussion » Is this a typical grind game?

Hello,

   I am looking for a free to play game that isn't all grind. I like to play different MMOs at a time just because I sort of have ADD. Right now I am playing Requiem for my serious MMO, and btw it is an awesome MMO, very graphic and gory but quite fun. I am looking for a lighter MMO to play so to speak one that is fun but not quite as grown up as Requiem. Anyways I just found out Rose Online went F2P, with that said how is the game play etc.

  It looks like a fun game but I was just wondering if it has any unique features.  The graphics remind me of Flyff which I played for a good couple of years off and on until they changed the skill system and I got board with all of the grind, I switched to Perfect World for a while but the lag from the server being half away around the world got old and the grind once again go kill this type of monster etc... annoyed me. Is Rose like that all the time?

Thanks,

Dustin

I can't answer what Rose is like too terribly far into the game but the first few levels actually have quests. I would assume that it does turn into a grind game, however, as there are like 250 levels or something ridiculous. If you are looking for a bit better non-grindy F2P game, I would recommend getting into the Perfect World International beta (start in just a few weeks...grab a key from the MMORPG homepage) which will have US based servers. You should also check out Runes of Magic which goes into beta in September I think which is supposed to have 600+ quests at launch. Hope it helps!

Hello,

  As I got farther into PW Malyasia it turned out mostly into being just grind... Kill this number of monster, or go fly here and then fly here and then kill this number of monster for this person.. get what i am saying.. I am signing up for runes of magic though..

Thanks,

Dustin

i am looking for a good game too but i dun like the tipical mmorpg cause in pvp u just clic the target and press 1 2 3 4..... i whant a manual battle system i am w8ing for spellborn but that could take a wile till it's out, and rakion laggs a lot

TcoS looks horrible, the combat looks glitchy, slow and akward as hell

I like this game more than WoW. Enough said ?

How's the PvP like in this ROSE Online?

I played Flyff and Perfect World too. I don't consider grinding a problem, but Flyff is getting a little stale after a couple years on-and-off. I dropped PW since after level 30 global pk just means server drama all over again when random noobs gank you for no reason. That's why I liked Flyff, you could explore the world without worrying about some asstard wiping you for no reason.

And nobody really answered how grindy Rose is. I don't really care if there are quests but I don't like it if there are too many like PW, nobody wants to party you at lower levels because "F U nub dun party me im questing"... fail game.

well... lol

they "balanced" the system but all they did was make clerics weaker meaning they cant solo for SHIT and now raiders cloak doesnt last as long... altho 18 seconds or whatever is more than enough time to run up to someone ( with your ridiculous speed.... 4x as fast as the next fastest char)  attack with ur CRAZY attack speed ( mine is 3x the speed of normal people... but i have all p7s that increase atk speed)

basicly... raider owns everything..... katar owns all... dual owns most....  only class that can beat knight is a dual raider... OR another knight..... they have way to much def... basicly.. its unbalanced and if u enjoy 1 little map for pvp then go ahead...

in regard to grinding...dunno. at lvl 94 im still interested. normally im out of a game near lvl 50. i also might just be excited about 2nd job at lvl 100 so....dunno. there are quests for the questers and grinding for those who just dont care. i found that 60-70 went by almost too fast with an aoe party...

only grind if you have aoe...otherwize the game will kinda flop for you.

personally...i like the community...but its sorta declining imo. but overall i give the game an 8/10. worth a try at least.

This game will only be a grind, if you make it a grind. The fun of any mmorpg should be in interacting with the community. If you do so, and team up with other players, it can be loads of fun.
