Haradeas writes: Looks good, it will have no competition considering its F2P. It is an improved mmorpg simmular to wow. But really worth trying ^^ Only atlantica Online could be a threat but is another genre. Mon Sep 01 2008 10:36AM

cosimusta writes: That was very boring, generic questions and poorly worded answers. Could everyone who likes the WoW-Clones please move to one side of the room, and the people who liked the first gen MMOs move to the other side? OK great, now we can stop pretending these two kinds of games are actually competing with each other for a common market. Mon Sep 01 2008 12:01PM

fenrisblue writes: i agree to a point with the idea that wow clones and first gen games are diferant, but what this is suposed to be is a next gen ,.out of the box game,the questions asked are wow related questions, they didnt ask any questions about how the game is diferant, i am not too sure about this micropay/minimall,they always say that the item mall people arnt any diferant, but when you get into the game it is completly diferant,after all, why pay for things you can get free, i ay go with a p2p,you pay less to get just as far if you have any doughts, go play a micro pay or a item mall game,and if you think they are the same quality as a p2p game, then your just kidding yourself, however i would really like to see a f2p game that was as good as a p2p game Mon Sep 01 2008 7:33PM

alien1984 writes: Yawn it is just a complete knockoff of wow. They even copy models... No originality what so ever, but you can't expect any less of china. All they do is copy games. "Welcome to china and our 10 million cloned free to play games" Mon Sep 01 2008 11:24PM

Valentina writes: Way to stereotype, guys. It could be good, but I don't trust item mall games. Period. Tue Sep 02 2008 12:32AM

RunesOfMagic writes: Game is free to play,and 100% players like F2P games not P2P... Tue Sep 02 2008 8:03AM

cosimusta writes: I don't like F2P games when it comes to MMOs. P2P ftw cuz it's one of those features that seems to greatly enhance the quality of the game =P Tue Sep 02 2008 9:13AM

AngelBurst writes: Blizzard is just one of the many companies that take inspiration from a far greater source. J.R. Tolkien. WoW is an alwalys will be just another game to do so. So get use to it, there will be counless games that do so till the end of time. Blizzard can claim no rights to the world concept what so ever, nor the models. They themselves copied from the artist drawings from the original creators for the books. Tue Sep 02 2008 11:47AM

Spiritof55 writes: I was excited over this game till he mentioned item malls and f2p. What f2p will give you is horrendous amounts of gold seller spam, more so than if it was p2p. Tue Sep 02 2008 12:23PM

Mitara writes: In all cases without any exception so far, Free to Play has always equally bad quality. So like F2P if you need to, the rest of us have no problems when we get better quality Wed Sep 03 2008 8:22AM

Dasadorah writes: Very Awsome Game. I love it :) -Tester of pre-beta- Wed Sep 03 2008 8:22PM

Toothman writes: Interesting how many people want to call this a WoW clone when WoW is just a clone of older games like Rappelz and EQ Mon Sep 08 2008 11:59PM

cycras writes: omg, dumb shit people who have no knoledge of the game and just want to make general statments that they think f2p are shit, go to a general chat room and dont go around posting dumb shit stuff unless u actualy no what the game is like, u can comment on games uve actually played, but leave shit u dont know about alone, cos u look retarted, posting the same shit every time a free to play comes out also this game (accroding to every 1 thats actually played it) says its the fucking bomb and is nothing short of amazing, and alot of the players are x-wow fan boys, fan boys like alot of u noobs who bag every other game and have no idea what there talking about like a lil noob, say "this game is shit" after looking at a single screen shot and have no idea what the content is like or the game play, mindlessly posting on the enternet is great, but go to an off-topic forum some were, go "ban the person above you" or somthing while whacking off to screen shots of world of warcraft Sun Sep 28 2008 12:33PM

Starbear writes: Cycras all I have to say to you is... wow! You call people retards and such yet every other word out of your keyboard is shit and lets not get me started on your english. Now I think everyone can generaly agree that F2P games arn't good, but not bad... afterall you get what you pay for. Regardless I think RoM has some potential, if they stick to what they said in the interview I belive they'll have a bright future, because its free I will give it a shot when it comes out but as with all F2P games I go in expecting to be disapointed.

JiuJitsu writes: ayee to all you who haven't tried out RoM yet, man you have to try it out! One of the best game ever esp the pvp server and building guilds and army in the game to fight other other armies... yooo it's a tight game Fri Jul 10 2009 6:44PM
