We get it you like World of Warcraft, run along and play now.
You've proven that some people (somehow) like grinding in WoW. What else are you trying to prove here?

I like MMORPGs and am in an MMORPG topic. You are in an MMORPG topic saying how you hate MMORPGs and are expecting me to persuade you to like them or what? And now you ask what I am trying to prove? The question is what are you trying to prove? You don't realize the problem here is you are whining about MMORPGs in a topic about an MMORPG. You could make a topic about how much you hate MMORPGs if you'd like.

I would rate it as stuff because it appears to be boring and, oh look, it is! For several months!

We get it you don't like MMORPGs, run along and play now.

I walk into a shop, and i have an opinion of the shop instantly even if i've never bought or talked to any staff.

That's a horrible example to compare it to, when you walk into a shop you can see all of it's content at first glance. I will offer a better example, if you had to review WoW based solely off the first 6 levels, having never played any more of it, doing the quest to kill 10 boars and then kill 6 scorpions and then kill 10 imps, and then kill an orc, how awesome would you rate it?

I would just like to point out a few things.

1. It is kind of odd of Skip to even appear in a topic to tell us all this game is bad because it is a genre he has no taste in, and would prefer if the game company completely redid the game to fit a genre more to his liking.

2. Tails and Bisjac should not even have an opinion of the game as they haven't played it passed level 10-15 and it was in a restricted beta made solely to test it. You can feel free to come in and say "I only played it a bit and couldn't get into it so I will not be buying it" but to come in and say "It is a horrible game and is a WoW clone" is just idiotic. I can understand tails calling it a WoW clone because WoW is probably the only P2P game he has a decent amount of knowledge in, but a hardcore MMOer like Bisjac should know better.

3. This game was built by the makers of Everquest 1 and is proud and boasts to be a game for people who loved Everquest 1. Everquest 1 was almost 100% grind, 100% hard, 100% frustration, and people couldn't get enough of it. It is targetted at old-school MMOers.

I never said that.

Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.
stfu tails I was going to say that :c

EDIT: Also Visage tell me where you heard I play WoW.

You were on the WoW topic like less than a month ago if I recall saying how you just finally got 70 or something and it took you 3 years. And it isn't a far stretch when you make a post that only says "You are paying $15 a month to grind." You are implying I am wasting money and could not possibly enjoy it.

Welcome to the world of "Opinion"

You told that to the wrong person, you should be telling it to Skip, the guy that thinks I couldn't possibly enjoy grinding. I can't recall anywhere in this topic I questioned anyone's opinion.

Thing is you're paying 15 bucks a month to grind.

Because it is fun to me, and if I recall you play WoW, so you are paying $15 to do something you hate. Sounds like you're the one wasting money.

It's possible to make an MMORPG without the usual boring stuff, it's just no one ever pulls it off well.

Because like I said people actually like the parts you consider boring stuff. You probably enjoy progressing more than you think, go to a private server where you are insta85 in the best gear and see how long that is fun. Without anything to progress towards you can't have a long-lasting experience, it will turn into one of those games you buy and play for 2 days and throw in your closet.

WoW is more like a job (you have to pay for) until you get to the higher levels.

Not really, if you think that way than an MMORPG isn't for you. Not insulting you or anything just leveling and grinding is supposed to be in an MMORPG and some people(like me) do actually enjoy it. I have 2 85s and 4 80s and 10 more chars in the 70s and 5 more in the 60s and 40 more lower than that in WoW because I love grinding.

Quote from: tails on January 06, 2011, 02:03:46 AM

I got to level 13 before calling it quits (because the beta ended)
The lower levels are the games chance to pull you in and make you care.
Which it didn't do.

WoW does an even worse job at low levels and is the most popular MMO out yet, it is just stupid for you to claim it sucks when you only got level 13.

They hate it just like the people that played WoW to level 6 hated it, they think they saw all the game and/or were expecting massive raids and epic PVP castle sieges the second they logged in. Also every game is no a WoW clone, even though there isn't a damn thing unique in WoW. The game is getting insanely good reviews, I was just reading my new PCGamer and they reviewed it's PVP and said it's the best PVP in a game yet, very chaotic and action-packed with some unique abilities. It's also getting great reviews just about everywhere else.

Alright guys, let's get this stuff straight.
Nobody, and I mean loving nobody, is going to join your stuffty ass loving Hamachi servers.
Nobody's going to go and download some stupid ass program just to join someones server who doesn't even know how to properly forward their ports. Stop trying to get people to "test" your Hamachi servers or ask people to join them, because nobody will.

Had like 7 people on my hamachi and they were amazed how it is completely lag-free, hamachi seems to work better than hosting via internet. Also port-forwarding is not always possible, I can port forward in 3 seconds flat but it won't work on my internet anymore, it used to, but the ISP changed how it works and we would have to pay a lot more to be able to do it. I currently have 14 people on my hamachi even though I have no servers up.
