Runes of Magic Forum » General Discussion » This game sucks!

I have just started playing and I enjoy it. I like the house feature, the horse hire and the crafting.   Maybe it will get dull at end game, but I'll find that out.   I like the customability of the toons (though I've seen better toons).  I also like the dual class system.  This game wants to try something different.

Most MMOs are not much different from Muds of years ago.   Oh and if anyone doubts my experience, I have been playing MMOs for about 4 years (WOW, WAR, EVE, tons of free ones) and this one I have enjoyed more than most of the others and all of the free ones (though Perfect World was also as good) and I have paper rpg'd for 20 years.

the thing about is that its exact oppisite it sucks in the beggining and owns at the end thats way people dont like it they try get annoyed at the beggining and declare the game sucks but if you get max it owns

there hands down isn't any other f2p mmo out there that is of this quality.

This game doesn't suck. Nor does it go above and beyond any other F2Ps. Anyone who says this game isn't like WoW needs to get their eyes examined. Not only in looks, but in play style as well. The game is kind of like a "virtual splenda" it's a good substitute if you're willing to tolerate it.

The nature and history make WOW the game that all games will be measured against, love wow, hate wow, and strange enough all mmorpg's have got this relationship, you either love it or hate it, there seems to be no half measures in the world online role playing gaming. What I find interesting that people will always weight and measure a game against another game,and seem quickly to forget the unique experiences that games offer.

What I like about ROM:

It is free ( yes you can argue it is not truly free) but to me it makes a difference, I am not  a hardcore gamer, I enjoy games but I do not have time to play a hour everyday, thus with no subscription model I do not feel like I am obliged to play everyday andcan pop in and out whenever I feel like it. So in aspects of casual gaming rom hit the spot for me

The interface, I really like it, because it is wowish therefore familiar, rom has taken the best of wow and the add-ons and given it all in a handy package. I have not played wow in a about 2 years ( my account has been hijacked since the change over to whatever they have now, after basically being told by Blizzard to go get stuffed because I was not prepared to make an international call, i have given wow the big finger) any case I do not if wow includes a lot of the addon that you had to download seperately.

The class system, I like the more traditional classes that reminds me of AD&D (pen & paper based to those that are younger than 20)

The community, must say I have always experienced f2p communities more friendly / more forgiving than p2p communities, it is probably because the p2p attract the more hardcore crowd. I have been playing ROM only for 2 weeks and already my friends list exceed my LOTRO friends list. It appears that it is never difficult to get a quick group together to do something.

What not to like:

The grinding, but then again it is part and parcel of the whole mmorpg thing, I think the only mmorpg that I played that does not have so much grinding would be LOTRO, but there the gridning was cleverly hidden in a good story line

The Lore, this is definetely where ROM is very lightweight, I have been actively playing for about 2 days ( that would mean about 2 weeks in normal time), and still I havenot discovered the greater plot, why am I here, whatis this all about, WOW wasleightweight as well, but at least it had the lore of  Warcraft to back it, Guildwars has got excellent in depth lore, and obviously LOTRO has got the greatest fantasy work ever written to supply the lore and it was extremely well integrated in the whole experience, never once in LOTRO do you have any doubt what itis about.

Lag, man I seem to pickup a huge amount of lag, maybe it is just me, maybe it is just my  poor connection, but it is frustrating.

I can probably find some other stuff to "rave" or "suck" about. Maybe ROM should be evaluated for what it is, a nice little casual romp in a fantasy world.

Please, you dont need to play a game for 12 months+ to realise it sucks. The quests are lame and if you dont quest your grinding,

 

The best MMO atm is Warhammer, its just that noone knows how to play their class. I see healers trying to be damage dealers whilest their allies die! Wtf?

Pure gold. Your opinion has been rendered utterly worthless by this statement.

ROM's a decent enough game, pretty good when you consider its free to play.  It might contain game play elements you don't care for, (same with me) but overall it doesn't warrant special attention for being a "bad" game.

Disagree.

Kyleran's opinion is far from worthless.

I might not agree with Kyleran's position re: Warhammer or Rom but it' s the poster's OPINION.

I would argue that your opinion is, perhaps, worthless since you begin by devaluing Kyleran's.

Perhaps you should qualify your statements with IMHO,  "as far as I see it",  "from my perspective" or, if your ego permits, "I may be wrong but".

IMHO you need to memorize the following definition:

DEFINITION

Opinion

1. a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.
2. a personal view, attitude, or appraisal.

 Why do people insist on posting "This Game Sucks" posts without any real commentary? Why does ROM suck? Why must you bring in a totally unrealted game (WoW) and bash on it as well? Try formulating rational posts and posting thoughtful topic discussions instead of unsupported blanket statements. I love rants, but this isn't a rant, its troll bait with a useless survey
