That's some straight up UO shit. That's why hide was such a great skill to master, loot a corpse or pickpocket someone and vanish. Such fun times. Does bard get a provoke monster ability, that would be great.

Bards get a self and group AE threat reduction, which also doubles as a WoW trinket. It was janky last couple phases, but it did work most times. I trained many groups. Unintentionally of course.

The only PVP I've seen was this morning. I happened upon two people breaking into a camp of lvl 10 mino's. Then I noticed a gold pile on the ground and just assumed it was one of theirs. Then they had another "onlooker" come up, and I saw the tank from the original two grab the gold aura and become pvp enabled. The onlooker wasnt alone and had another person with them. They attacked the tank. The tanks buddy comes in to help. They all become PVP with monsters in tow. The attackers still lost because it was a cleric and a tank (shit needs nerfed from what I understand?)

But thats the most organic PVP Ive seen happen so far and that was fun to watch.

Not going to play when it rubber bands. All these years and they still do not have the servers in line.

Yeah. I tried playing this AM and it was rubber banding like mad. Even the little tradeskill farm area was intolerable.

Everyone playing on a specific US server? Might try this out.

Shol server

Guild on shol server is up if anyone wants to tag along. PM me on discord after you join for invite, I am afk alot in game

Hit 10th. Should be on some today. I find that sometimes when I rubberband that restarting helps.

Also, I wish they would fix the flashbang/solarflare effect. A lot of visual bugs this go around with objects and even pieces of terrain floating above ground.

Honest review? Understand its Alpha but I stopped following the game after some of their changes but what would you all say is the theme of the game? Is it an attempt of a modern take on an old school MMO? Is it WoW-esque? I had thought they wanted to be the next evolution of EQ1/EQ2? However, I think they had made a lot of changes from a gaming philosophy standpoint which happens with a lot of new games when ideas are just a hard sell to the new gaming community.

It was never an old school/EQ MMO, the owner wanted his own Korean PVP game

I thought it was a new Archeage? Because Steven wanted to whale and still got his shit kicked in, so wanted to make his own where he could do the shitting on?

He used to play a lot of Archeage - this was basically his attempt to recreate something like that

I played Archeage and ya.. it "sort of" reminds me of that. But not really. This one seems like a different game altogether in the "theme" department. PVP is almost non-existant. The story I posted earlier is one story. Another happened this morning at a high lvl camp. This group trained us, and killed one of our members. He had an epic material on him that dropped, some jack off picked it up in their group and then the bard got pvp, then the cleric etc. That flagged them all - we're higher lvl. We go in and merc their whole group and then had the camp to ourselves. There just isnt any "random" pvp "so far" and no roaving bands of red players .. thats like some boogie man story or something I guess? Or its just too early for it, one. Guards merc anyone that is flagged, so it seems like it bricks your character pretty much.

The game isnt polished, though. Its playable and Im enjoying it. But there seems like a new bug every day.. but so far?.. Theyve been fixing them within a day or two. Like there was a bug recently that was bricking characters by resetting their lvl to 0 in everything, from combat to trades. Now its fixed. So.. ya, its alpha. But if you have patience? It's worth the box price, but not a sub.

Said fuck it, blew the 42 bucks on steam.

So far its decent. Im at level 8 just running around doing random shit. I can see why it gets bad reviews from modern gaming retards who just want to smash macros and have Everything on rails and max out content in 3 days.

Its slow. You gotta find your way. I had to turn in a quest and it was about a 25-30 minute round trip to find the guy and turn in. You have to figure out tradeskills on your own. THe settlement stuff seems fun but Im lost currently and have to figure it out.

I wouldnt say this is an OLD SCHOOL MMO its just way to modern but its definitely different than the typical modern mmo

Jury is out and its stll alpha. I had a bugged quest last night and just logged, and the NPC was fixed today.

Most gankers don’t want to be at a disadvantage, so random ganking during the noob leveling phase will probably be light.

Couldnt figure out how to make money, so I said fuck it and just started farming minerals and selling the low level shit. Now I made a ruck sack and can run more shit. Going to be a huge tradeskill grind which is up my alley.
