• • No Good MMO's anymore

  • Asheron's Call 1 is the crown jewel of the sandbox mmorpgs.  If you disagree then you haven't played it.

     

    Although I understand that everyone's first mmorpg usually turns out to be their favorite.

• • Explain "Levels" in AC

  • Mob's also gained levels....A Crystal Lord spawned outside Fort Teth and it took hundreds of people to finally kill it.  There were corpses everywhere.  During the mayhem he leveled from 600 to 601 I'm not sure the original level though.

     

    Skills were capped at a certain point.  When you hit  210ish most of your skills were maxed out.  The top level was moved a few years ago from 126 all the way to 275ish.   I remember putting too many xp points into my jump skill and would always plaster myself into the wall above the ledge I was trying to jump to.  Although it was nice being able to jump to the roof of my villa :)

     

    I'd go back in a second if there were enough people to make it feel like a mmorpg again.

     

    Showing off your maxed character and all your uber weapons to a town crier just isn't the same.

• • Stuff that an AC3 must and must not have

  • You all forgot that getting buffed by higher level characters created a community within the game.  This along with the Patron/Vassal system was the only reason there was interaction between players. 

    I agree with just about everything the OP says. 

    I will add that AC3 also must have...

     

       Item Loss Death Penalty, Patron/Vassal system, And Carbon Copy the entire AC1 weapon/ armor/ item inventory.  Nobody has come close to matching the different looks and combinations your character can wear.

    Being able to buy things from a vendor that another person has just sold!  This also was a fun pastime.

    Also bring back the lugian character type from AC2 that could build walls and turrets and such! it was a blast!

     

     

    Ac3 Must not have.... Bind on Equip items,  Instances ,  Macros , Cookie Cutter skill trees, Level caps, and that  freaking white rabbit!@!

  • Asheron's Call 3 would be the only thing that would bring me back to the MMORPG community again!
