Silkroad Online Forums

My exams are close to end, and i'll have a little time enough to play on my laptop, so...
I want to try something different, funny, entertainment and original.

I have been researching on the MMORPG list, Youtubin' them and so far for those:

Rappelz

Cabal

So, tell me in your own opinion in which game should i spend my time and why.
Hopefully, this will help any other people who may like those game listed.
You may mention another game, but my priority are those.

Ty =p

PD: if i choose your game, u'll get a cookie

Edited: Added Cabal, Deleted K.O.W.
Edited2: Deleted Aion because is P2P :p
Edit3: Deleted PW (Game play was kinda boring) and Rohan (It wont let you create an account lol)

perfect world sux

dont even think about knight online..one of the worst mmo's ever

do you have money to spend on games? get world of warcraft or ragnarok, mabinogi

If you're willing to pay, then Aion by FAR. If not, then all of those mmos are huge grindfests as far as I've played. And Knight online is just total trash, not even worth mentioning.

AION!!!!

lol why u guys hates Knight Online so bad? I've play it like... 2 years ago lol and liked it

Well edited the post ending with 3 options:

Perfect World -> testing it. edit: Don't like it at all :/

Cabal -> Haven't tested but checking some vid's, their skills are nice

Rohan -> Looks interesting + ppl here plays it as well..

Imo there is no original f2p mmo, but perfect world is quite intresting with all that flying and stuff.

Runes of Magic used to be alright for F2P. Considered that?

PW will get boring quickly. Dunno about the others.

Warcraft III Custom Games.

So you mean than originals games are only P2P? :p
Tested and did not liked PW at all...

You should give up on F2P games, they are such a waste of time and (money if you buy from mall).
I will never ever eveeeer play a F2P again.

Buy WoW and one of those 2-3 month game cards and you're good for the summer.

Try Runes of Magic.

This.

Good luck finding a fucking game OTHER THAN DOTA

From that rappelz ( even though i havnt played it ) I didnt like cabal, maps are relativly small, quests repeat, and it gets boring after like level 10 imo.

I haven't played Rappelz so i can't say much about it.
But Cabal is great if you are all about flashy looks and cool looks. Leveling is mostly grinding, but i can't say how easy/hard it is because when i played cabal, it was in a private server.

Halo

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Don't, just don't. Shaiya, Rappelz, Perfect World, and Cabal all blow.

Shaiya: Terrible, just terrible. You have to play the game twice to unlock hard mode, which means you have to train 3x as long as normal mode (which you have to level to 40 and then start the **** over) and the quest system is horrendous. You run half across a map (literally half way, one half of a Farking big map) to get 30 (not a typo) xp. With a broken quest system you have to grind, um... yeah, don't do that. Grinding is hell even with a party. As for pvp, since I didn't level that much I went low and semi-mid level pvping. It is not as good as all those crap online reviews tell you, it's terrible. Low level = 4 hit KO, high level = 2 hit KO, mid level = 6 hit max unless you're a defender class, then you can have, again literally not a hyperbole, 15 people slamming arrows and spells down your throat and survive with just one priest healing you. Of course defenders have crap damage since they tank like God. If you can't tell, the classes are really not balanced at all. Graphics aren't that great, spells are kinda flashy but it's not as good as the hype. NOT worth your time.

Cabal: Looks really good at high levels but it's the same stale crap over and over. Out of the 4 I mentioned, also in your two, play this. It's completely broken at high levels (from what I've read) but it's fun at the beginning. The PvP is fun at mid level (low-mid since I didn't play for that long, gogo powerleveling) and you'll have fun for maybe 2 weeks...

Rappelz: Oh god no. Tutorial island was fun for all of 6 minutes. The spells looked pretty and the damage numbers were flashy, you get a pet and a mount really quickly and you see people spamming globals (or w/e they're called) to give the illusion people actually play this game. However, the second you're off that island and enter your first city to do what they call 'quests'. Imagine silkroad but instead of kill x, you have to kill x, y, and z in three different locations making you run all over the place. And you don't move onto new cities for a long time. The good part is the spawn rate, monster spawn is instantaneous, which is great if I wasn't having so much fun running across maps trying to find the same monsters over and over and over and over and over again. Yeah, you fight the same monsters for the quests. x, y, and z are random, it gets old after a few quests. But I stuck it in there, powered to 50, got my second job, and checked our their PvP. It's hell, first the game doesn't get more fun at 50+, you just sit in a dungeon all day. Like dungeons? Don't play Rappelz cause they'll ruin the image of dungeons for you forever. You sit there and fight the same crap over and over and go room to room without anything exciting or unexpected or surprising that makes you go in the part chat "OH SH%$!!! HEAL HEAL HEAL HEAL" or anything even close to that. Boss battles is just tank and spank, new bosses might as well be old bosses with one more spell and a new skin. Just don't.

Perfect World: Ugly characters, really really really ugly characters and exp rate is abysmal. It's a grindfest and having a part does not make the grind any more fun. Dunno at high level because I didn't want to stick it out to at least mid-range, got my share of crap free MMOs.



Playing Reqiuem: Bloodymare right now, it's alright even if the map and pathfinding is ridiculously bad and the quests insult your level if intelligence, as well as the skill system that destroys you for f*&@king up (much like SRO). But if you read the forums while the 2.2 gig dl runs in the background and plan your char a tiny bit, it's actually quite enjoyable. Of course, reading the forums also has the impending doom feeling where DJ and Sacc say level 35 means grindfest, but it can't be worse than the aforementioned games.

@Shaiya: Ugh, yeah. Checked vids on YT and didn't like it.

@Cabal: I like the skills. I Started to play yesterdays, i wonder how long i'll last...

@Rappelz: Just finished downloading. Imma try it annyways. o_O

@PW: Yeah, totally did not liked. :/

@Reqiuem: Bloodymary I'll take in mind.

Thanks for the replies.

I pretty much agree with Cpinney. Most of those games are a grindfest. And it's BloodyMARE not bloodymary, lol.

I copied from what Cpi wrote, and he edited his post lol

@Rappelz: it's kind of enterteinment, and the maps are so bigss... ugh. But anyways, it might be fun to play with my female friend.

WoW

YOU DON'T HAVE FEMALE FRIENDS!!!

Lol, i'm not like you

Since i manage to tame a pet...

Cabal < Rappelz

Requiem: Bloodmare looks nice but i think it's too gore for me. Probably i'll make a shot on it if i get bored on those games.
Or wait for Diablo III

When the hours spent leveling exceeds hours spent having fun; this includes party time and chatting with friends while grinding, which does make it more bearable.

I can't believe you used the word "sugarcoat" really.
