• • Which server for real RP

    Hey gang

     

    I'm going to give WoW another shot.  I haven't played since around the middle of 06.  This time around I'm going to just take my time and enjoy the game on a fun factor.  I'm not in any big hurry to reach 60, 70 or whatever the limit is now.  I have a question:

     

    1st:  I know there are role play servers, and I've heard from around these forums that role play doesn't really happen in WoW.  Surely some does, and I'm wondering what is a good RP server?  If I could have a few suggestions as opposed to just one that would be helpful.  Since I'm sure quite a few servers are locked now, unless you already have characters on those servers.  Preventing me from creating a character on these old servers.

    I'd like to role play a Pally.  Maybe be in a Pally only guild or something along those lines.  I've always enjoyed playing them, it was the only class that I took to 60 back in the day. 

     

    I also picked up BC, is it worth installing right now?  Or should I wait until I get to around 60 before I install it?  Or did BC change anything in the main game that's worth installing while I'm leveling up?

     

    Thanks in advance

     

     

    Although I do not play the game my older brother plays on Ravenholdt and his guild does some cool events. He has a bunch of Roleplaying stories from that server probably more than I have from all of my time playing UO or EQ.  He has been trying to get me to play the game for the past few months now but I really do not think I could stomach the grind for so long. WoW is a really fun game to watch others play though in my opinion.

    And that's the problem with alot of them games out atm, some games are too easy.

    I miss the great interaction with other players from games like EQ and FFXI but nowadays people barely even speak unless they absolutely have too which upsets me in a way.

     

    Being a huge grouping fan in the MMORPG I can honestly tell you right now grouping in my opinion makes things easier than soloing alot of content. It is not the fact that grouping is better because it is harder. Grouping is better than soloing because it is more engaging! You get to work together and that takes more thought than working by yourself in most cases.

    The only problem I have with it is the horrible character models.

     

    I agree, the models are still far too cartoony. The bodies are disproportional, their legs are way to big compared to the rest of their body.

    I think the graphics look slightly better than before, with the tone downed lightsabers, but a few things still bother me.

    Like I already said, the character models are out of proportion and look cartoony. Their clothes, even though they are wearing robes, still look like spandex(The pants are perfect tight fit, there is no loosness at all which adds to the cartoony look and makes it look like spandex still). There seems to be too much shine on things that shouldn't have any shine, like the cloak hood or their pants. And the terrain looks far more like a drawing than it does a world. These all add up to look incredibly cartoony and immature and I still don't like their art direction in the least, they should have just stuck with KotOR graphics.

     

    I have to disagree with you 100% to me the graphics do not look cartoony at all. People will go on here and say "The Grass looks just like WoW!" or "The Spandex is so City of Heroes!". Get over it guys.

• • Chances for Clan Naked

    What are the chances Clan Naked can be viable?

    Clan Naked will be a guild that doesn't wear clothes, or armor, and only uses weapons scavenged on the battlefield from fallen victims. We will engage in unarmed combat primarily, spells, and hand to hand.

    There are 300-500 skills, so...

    I think the weapons shouldn't be a problem. There are probably unarmed combat skills, like Kung Fu, or Boxing, or something like that, for melee.  Plus, there are combat spells, so we should be able to fight without swords or bows and arrows.

    The big problem is probably the armor. We don't want to be to squishy. But, maybe there are armor spells, like Stone Skin. That's a classic. Or maybe there are protective spells that deflect damage, like Warp Arrows, resistance to flame, and so on.

    We concentrate on these sorts of defensive spells, instead of wearing Plate Mail, or other types of armor.

    But can we be competitive with players that use defensive spells, AND wear Plate Mail?

    Or, even worse, what if gear gives really great bonuses, like wizard robes that stop damage, amulets, and so forth.

    Maybe we could compromise, and jewelry and amulets would be ok, but no robes. It' hard to say without seeing the list of gear, but perhaps it's possible.

    Dare to Bare! Clan Naked!

    Where do I sign up?

  • People think that Mount and Blade has bad graphics but I think that game is beutiful. It is all personal Preferance, for example I love the Darkfall Graphics and style but I hate most of the animations. Will it stop me from playing the game? Damn you got to be kidding me, no of course it wont. Anyone here remember the running animations in SWG. Even look at UO the graphics were just fair for the time but I loved the art style.
