Okay, I know I haven't posted in a while, I've been playing a couple of MMO's that I haven't listed. Turns out once you hit level 30ish in Vindictus the game gets WAY to slow because of your token allowance. It's still a great game if you're casual but right now for a hardcore gamer, no PvP just mission after mission and the grinding is the same missions over and over again.
I also played some other games too.
Aika Online: A PvP based MMO where the whole world is open to PvP combat and is, I hate to say this, lame. The game is great up until you hit level 30 where you run out of quests and grind away. The bad part about this is, other people have grinded to max level and that leaves you to grind in area's really close to the other nations that will come and gank (MMO for kill you over and over again because you're a low level noob). It's a great hard core player game and if you like mindlessly grinding the PvP in the game is superb. You can eventually, if you get a good guild together, control your whole nation. You give people orders, run around collecting relics which then supply your nation with buffs and there's a lot more to do. The endgame is great but getting there is no easy feat. It's free, however, so this might be one for you if you like PvP because all other big PvP games tend to be P2P, which I know is lame, but I'm going that way again.
Runes of Magic: A PvE game mostly, I haven't been able to get into too many PvP scenario's except for the guild siege which is fun. It's free and has a pretty good community. Every night your guild has a chance to siege where if you win, you get a pretty nice item, 20k xp and a bunch of talent points that you use to level your abilities. The game is WAY to complicated to go into a major explanation but it's a good PvE game and an okay PvP one. You get two classes to chose from (you get your second one when you reach level 10 in your first one. You can use basic abilities from your secondary class and you have to switch to make the other class your main one. Basically you have to level up two classes to 62 (as of right now) to reach max level on one character which leaves you with a ton of options on what to level, but not quite as much as my favorite game in this blog which is coming up soon.
Warhammer Online: Yes, I went back to warhammer and I have to say, they haven't changed the game much since launch day. It's P2P and an AWESOME PvP game if you're willing to work your way to level 40. The only customization it really has is dye's for armor, you don't exactly have sub classes or anything with each one, however there are plenty of classes to chose from. The questing is dull, the Public quests are fun enough but won't level your character to the max level which has been 40 since the start (lame). My problem with this, and why I only subscribed for one month is that when you hit level 15, the PvP leveling process stops basically until you get into the 4th tier combat (30-40ish range I think) Don't get me wrong, getting up to level 40 would be great, you get to work on taking down the opposing nations capitol city and everything but the fact that scenario's (aka battlegrounds) to get to level 40 are pretty much once in a blue moon, the leveling is boring and there's no one ever doing the world PvP stuff where you have to capture your enemies keep which gives you little xp to begin with. Anyway, the games dying for the P2P people, however the first tier is free, you can sign up and get to level 10 for free however you have to stay there. You can do all the quests, public quests and PvP you want but you'll always be level 10 (which means you can twink out at 10 if you're playing for free)
Now, on to my final game for this post. Rifts of Telera or better known as Rift. This game, is just freakin awesome. At first I thought it was okay but I'll tell you why I totally spazzed in a bit. Right now, the game is in beta. You have your normal questing stuff, which is fine, but still boring, but once you're out of the beginner area you can start with the games best features which are: You have 3 sub classes to put your points into (these classes are called souls) and these subclasses are picked from your role, which you have 4, warrior, cleric, rogue or mage. Each of these have 8 classes + 1 PvP class to chose from and you can mix and match them however you want, whenever you want. The next reason this game is awsome is the Rifts and invasions. Yes, this is the reason why I spazzed over this game. Sure, every once in a while you get rifts, kinda like the public quests from warhammer where you have some enemies in a certain area and you kill them, more spawn, it gets harder and harder and in the end you win a prize. And sure, invasions pop up, small, mobile versions of rifts that are easier. But the BIGGEST thing about these is every once in a while a MASSIVE scenario happens with both rifts and invasions, 50 invasions at a time and at least 20 rifts spawning them repeatedly have to be taken down before a boss shows up, this boss in the starter area (level 5-20) is basically a massive raid boss from WoW. 50 people attack him and he still takes at least 10 minutes to kill. Yes, I repeat I've seen more than 50 people wailing on this guy, not including the pets. All the time, more invasions come to assist with more mini bosses. It's freaking chaos! Finally the PvP. You can enter warfronts from anywhere in the world and they give decent experience, some money and provide you with favor which you use for armor and of course your PvP class. All in all, this game is excellent. It's still in Beta with a couple more beta sessions happening over the next couple weeks where they raise the level cap for each one and finally the characters are being deleted and the Pre order people get a head start for the real game a week before it's released. I recommend this game for anyone Wow fans, warhammer fans, any fans of any MMO will probably like this game but the only way to know how is to find a beta key and join the beta for an excellent time!
