OK, just installed with the free 10-day trial.

I can't set the controls the way I want them !

1) I want to move by right-clicking, and rotating the camera around me by holding the middle mouse.

2) How do I distribute points after levelling ? I see they are automatically added Confused

3) I fiddled around for half an hour in the undead city (I made an undead warlock) and I didn't see another player (to ask)

EDIT: Anyone know how I can get a free Lineage 2 or Guild Wars trial without providing valid payment info ? Evil or Very Mad Mad

1) Been a while, but I think that option was somewhere in Options? It sucks anyway, just use WASD Razz

2) Stat points are distributed automatically, so you'll only need to worry about talent points (which you'll get from lvl 10 and onwards).

3) Depending on the server (how many players) and what time is it, the old capitals (excluding IF / Orgrimmar) can be pretty deserted. Most people obviously hang out in Outland.

All those GBs of WoW downloading and patching were pure fail I believe. Let's forget that ever happened and move on to the Lineage 2 or Guild Wars trial help.

I'm counting on you guys !

EDIT: Oh, I forgot about the disappointing "battle" in WoW. What was that gay auto-attacking all about ? I wanna hack&slash with my mouse o.O ... not just following the monsters around trying to keep in range.

Yeah I suppose for easy-paced grinding the whole point 'n click would be more suitable, but later on for PVP and raids I'd really recommend WASD, it's pretty much mandatory (mouse-clicking on skill buttons is a big no-no, only noobs do it, remember Wink ).

Stats you get from leveling don't mean squat anyway, it's the gear that defines your character.

And as far as company goes, you can always do a /who Undercity (or any other zone), or /who 11-17 for those level ranges etc. to find someone of your level to party with. There's usually someone who's happy to join you.

Oh and good choice on the warlock, played one for over 2 years and they're all kinds of pwn. Remember it's the master class, and others are lowly peasants.

Yes you can see here how the lowly classes often try to cry about some nonsensical overpoweredness, while it's obvious that in reality those with warlocks just happen to be more skilled than the rest of the playerbase.
Mages especially are known for their whining... (joke! Very Happy Wink )

With a warlock you don't ever have to engage in melee combat, they're a pure caster class. At the very beginning you can just autoshoot with your wand, it's more dps than the starter spells and then some levels later you can move on to the real stuff.

l2 and gw play exactly the same (mechanics). You should wait for a Age of Conan trial to experience some different game mechanics (as i've heard anyways).


I myself playing wow now for roughly 2 months, hunter 67 owning the living shit out of most other players i encounter in pvp (even level 70's) and being constantly top5 in DPS and kills in BG's


and i eat warlocks for breakfast

Any recommendation for a hack'n'slash Diablo 2 MMORPG experience ?

I'm trying out the Mythos beta and I kinda like it. Anything else ?

Mythos is pretty much as close as youre going to get to a Diablo II'ish type MMORPG.
Dungeon Runners maybe?

If you mean moving and shooting yeah, l2 and gw are pretty much the same, but otherwise they're pretty different. Gw does feel diablo-ish at times, you get little mini-flashbacks to a d1/d2 feel, but other than that, isn't going to fulfill your wishes. A lot of things that made d2 great won't exist in an mmo in the same manner.

Dammit, this very disappointing. I need some multiplayer (preferrably isometric) hack'n'slash awesome action. Guess I'll stick with Mythos for now, cause Dungeon Runners seems very sucky sucky.

Well, I can't understand how so many ppl pay a subsctiption and sacrifice all those hours for the WoW/L2 borefest. It looks dangerously BORING ! I'll uninstall it before the trial is over. Now that I think about it, I wouldn't play WoW even it if it were free.

Thanks for the help everyone, if anyone has more ideas plz post'em.

Go to gamesites200, you will find a lot of "trial" servers. Some are really great, like with very high xp gain which will give you an idea how the game works and if you like it. I recommend ragnarok online, a very fun mmo, all characters are sprites but environments are full 3d. Has lots of classes, lots of equipment, you distribute points you gain after leveling yourself (agility, str, int, luck, and some other stuff) and just fun. I think L2 is very fun, but not on normal super slow leveling servers. L2 is all about pvp, and those high rate servers are great, since you level quickly, buy your equip and then go pvp. But also there are better weapons you can get by farming some stuff if you want.
Cannot recommend AOC because of the state it is right now. A lot of bugs, all classes are very unbalanced (a healing class pwns right now), pvp is kind of lame with jumpers (people who jump around you to avoid your directional attacks), a lot of stuff just isnt working like some skills, stats on equipment, some areas. Check back in few months, and i think it can be a great game.

L2 and GW are very diff... well ok, dunno much about L2, but GW is heavily instanced. You pick a team of 8 characters in a town and then go outside questing/killing stuff without anyone bothering you. It also has a lot more strategic combat system. You can only take 8 skills out with you at any time and choosing the right skillset is mandatory. That is also why you rely on your teammates so much. They bring what you cant and vice versa.

I own all 3 chapters and expansion pack for GW. My favorite online RPG/instanced MMO (is not really an MMORPG like other games). I think i may have a 7 or 10 day buddy key for GW somewhere. You get access to all the games but the bad thing is it has an hour limit it imposes as well. I do not remember exactly but it was something along the lines of: 7 day trial or 10 hours trial whichevers shorter.
If you still want the key, PM me and i'll send it to you.

Edit: Also have a 14 day unlimited L2 key that came with my Nightfall CE if you want.

Thanks for all the offers, but I'm trying out Lineage 2 on a free server. I like it way more than WoW. Those trials might be useful to someone else, though.

@ IvanGrozny
Mythos is in closed beta and undergoing HEAVY changes. I got an invite from a fellow nfohumper a few months ago.

btw. Did you ever give Runescape a chance? Although I'm still looking for a more action/teamwork based rpg, I've been hooked on RS for over 2 years. If you have not tried it, then you should. The depth of the game is pretty amazing. Graphics may seem outdated, but they are having a major graphics upgrade next month.

more info under Development Diary at www.runescape.com

Guild Wars: terrible, Lineage 2: bad, WOW: better than the previous 2 pretty addictive but not that great anymore. Runescape nah... Honestly don't bother with MMO's the are a timesink and none are that great. There is this new one called conan though but you need an 8800 and a core2 duo or quad if you wanna play it.

WoW has shitloads of quests and it can take time to make yourself the toughest of them all but the quests and the black humour is well just fun. Lineage 2 is just a grindfest

If ur to only grinding ill suggest Lineage 2 ( Beatiful graphics and only like 5 quests the entire the game )

If ur more to the quest making and endgame content and heavy raiding ill suggest WoW ( WoW is all about endgame content and raiding )

If ur to the realworld kinda stuff like chopping down trees and then making chairs and building houses yet there are dragons to kill ill suggest Ultima Online ( For me better graphics than Runescape [wich SUCKS btw] and it feels more real )

Have played all of those MMORPGs myself and the way for me is WoW. Have been playing it alot and have 3 lvl 70s Smile
