so I live for MMOs and I've played quite a few...ones that i could never 100% get away from are WoW, Maplestory, and Grand Chase...and as always i'm trying to find more and more MMOs...now for my criticism of the few i mentioned:
World of Warcraft :
Pros :
- Great game, if you don't mind paying the money
- excellent RP if you're on the right server
- Tons of people, classes, races, basically you have a crazy amount of choices here
- You can basically fight anything you see, city guards, enemies, it's a free for all which is awesome!
Cons :
- The money, it's honestly worth it if you play the game enough, but if you're only a light player then it's not worth it at all
- The time commitment, the instance runs can literally last up to about 5 hours if not more, so if you don't have literally hours to devote to this game every time you play...then don't play it
Maplestory :
Pros :
- Tons of people
- A lot of different classes to try out
- Very helpful community....if you find the right people
- Not very difficult to get the hang of
- You can lightly play this game....you can play it for a couple minutes, or a couple hours, but if you're not gonna devote time don't expect to really get to any high lvls
- Cash Shop
- Going to be adding Pvp Soon
Cons :
- There can be a lot of people who are complete jerks, so watch out for that
- Takes forever to get to the max lvl of 200, they've revamped the exp system now and with a little effort you can get to lvl 120 relatively easily, but after that it gets tough
- It has become a somewhat P2P game...it's free to play, but to be one of the best people in the game you either have to give hours and hours of hard work finding materials to make stuff or merching the crap out of the game...or pay cash to buy the better items, it's really the biggest downfall about this game, and one of the things that i love about WoW is that there really is nothing you can buy with cash to make yourself better than anyone else
Grand Chase :
Pros :
- Simple
- Sorta like a dungeon runner thing
- A lot of different classes
- Good community
- PvP which is a major plus for me!
- Cash Shop
Cons :
- Classes are hard to obtain, and are gender locked (one of my pet peeves)
- You absolutely need a really good internet connection, otherwise don't bother playing
So there's my rant about a few online games, I'm always on the lookout for new games and I always have my comments about ones that I have played or tried, so let me know if you have any ideas on some good games out there!
