Welllll.... show me an MMO that *doesn't* involve any of the above, lol. I can handle the grind in Atlantica because the battles are FUN.

Atlantica was tons better before they introduced stamina. I played the CB. Stamina fails.

So far I've only ran out of stamina once .. and that was after 6hrs of playing. Stamina isn't essential to the game, it just gives you triple exp and more item drops -- and at least it recovers when you're not fighting (or a full reset every 6am)

I never played the CB so I don't know how different it was back then.

Doesn't actually give you triple xp. That triple xp is actually the xp you would normally have in the game, then as an anti no-life measure (sniff) they added stamina to keep people from leveling quickly. It lowered drop and exp rate substantially till you got more stamina. Seems they've tweaked it to be more forgiving from its original form though. during the CB, stamina would run out after ~2hrs of grind. People got pissed, including me, and I quit playing. :/

EDIT - during CB, after stam ran out, you would get NO battle XP.

Really?? Damn, I'm glad they changed THAT then! Surprised

It took me around 6hrs of playing (maybe 4.5hrs of grinding?) before I ran out of stamina .. and even then, I still got items and exp from every battle.

I beg to differ, as example I will use DDO and EVE. What about guild system?

After nearly 12hrs of play, I've not seen a SINGLE griefer or preteen ass-hat .. which is astounding for an MMO.

I've only just joined a guild, but so far it seems pretty straightforward -- with one, pretty awesome, exception; Guilds can take and control any town in the game. Since the game is modeled after the real world, there are thousands of towns/cities. My guild owns Tokyo ^_^ Guilds can buy buildings which increase town economy, bringing money and status into the guild, and each member can help by convincing wandering NPCs to migrate to the town.

hm i finally tried Atlantica. It has the rather unique for an mmo turn based party combat system. It's nice Smile

I like the automove function, that allow you to go straight for the quests while drinking a coffee Razz

Maybe i like the runes of magic graphics more, especially that Atlantica has the asian type of characters, big eyed and such. And i do hate the starting korean settings and NPC, but looking at the world map.. there are much more zones, Too bad that Bulgaria's capital city was not on the map.. :/

But since this thread is for -Runes of magic..
I do like it in some waythe graphics are vivid and colorful (like WOW i guess, never've played it..), but right now the game is BROKEN.
The classes are unbalanced as hell, the experience debt is beyond terrible. It could be pretty fun game...
The most positive thing is that it don't looks like the korean crap out there. The setting is not asian. So far there are tons of different looking items and equipment.. I even have 2 items from a set Very Happy (from quests). Oh and the leveling via quests is much faster..

I'm with the guild called "Soul" -- and they've been exceptionally helpful. I haven't asked anyone for anything, but each of the guildies have given me so much stuff (I've now been trained in pretty much every Crafting skill avaiable, which'll help later in the game) Another thing is that I've met NO beggars yet either. No "itam plz" no "gimme g0ld" nothing.

The battles are awesome, players in the chat are helpful and friendly .. and, a first for me in MMOs, I'm enjoying the crafting system. It's actually USEFUL.

I know, I think its because of the channels. Every server got 5 channels or so. Anyway you playing PvP or PvE? Would be cool to play with you. Iv been playing alone for now. But a friend of mine is starting to play tonight. He is a WoW whore so he will probably be higher lvl than me in 2 days or so, lol. I haven't had too much time to play, damn work. I even have to work tomorrow Sad

I've mostly been playing PVE in order to beef up my party a little .. but I have had a few PVP battles. Won the first, kicked his ass. Lost the second, got slaughtered. Joined a contest and won the first round, but lost the rest. It's fun, but I'm just not kitted out enough for any real PVP battles yet.

Wait.. are we talking about the same game? Runes of Magic or Atlantica?

There's no dedicated PVP servers in Atlantica, they're all mixed. Game emphasis is on PVE with PVP occurences as and when.

The gfx is bad.
Can't force AA and jaggies are stabbing out my eyes.
There is a lousy fps cap at 30 which makes the game feel realy bad.

Going to check the gameplay now.
