Heh I think they do. I think UO still claims like 150k or so subscribers atm? If they arnt ahead of EQ2 they are pretty even which for a game thats getting on towards a decade old... not to shabby hehe.

Ill always have a place in my heart for UO. No game offered as much immersion as that one did. It is probably one of the very few games that I could spend 10 hours on and look back and cant really figure out what I did. Just playing the game for the fun of it. No pressure ,no raiding, just good times. Even just sitting at Vesper bank talking trash could be highly entertaining. Then EA got their hands on it

/RIP Origin.

Anyone have a RF online trial key? I'm so desperate for a MMO to grab me I'm downloading that ArchLord beta on fileplanet.

Ham n Cheese · 09-09-2006, 04:58 PM

^^ omg arch/lord = worst game ever.

Lost Ranger · 09-09-2006, 05:10 PM

lol thanks for the heads up I was just about to DL that off Fileplanet.

I've heard RF online totally blows goats.

Dropped EQ2 for Progression, haven't really looked back. EQ2 raiding was teh gay, and den/nest/poa got real old after the 5th time.

EQ2 just missed the fucking boat on alot of basic MMO concepts. That ship is destined for the sea floor.

That arguement is for 5-year olds, so I'll assume you're kidding. Need we bust out another McDonalds analogy? Best selling doesn't mean anything other than money in the pocket, and not yours btw

It might piss off Smed or Gallenite. But to the person playing, some actually like not having 10,000 uber_doods around 24/7. Or 15 people in a raid talking about Pokemon. Personally I dont want more players than we have already on Venekor. There's 6 guilds doing T7 content already after only a few months. We're definitely not underpopulated.

I agree, I could never get pased the "linked mob" shit. That right there took away so much from that game that it made it dull and lifeless to me.

Ham n Cheese · 09-09-2006, 07:53 PM

they did, but it was super buggy and would spasm around frequently. The combat wasn't horrible. It felt like someone who liked diablo a lot tried to make a MMO (potions seem absolutely necessary). The environment was horrible where I was though.

back on topic

Scouts seem to interest me the most. I made a wood elf for another go at trial of the isle (but I guess you need a full version to DL soga models?). How are swashbucklers? Not many races are 'acceptable' looking in old models.

Swash is a pretty interesting class. Upon attaining Ability points you can spec into one-handed weapons where you cannot use an off-hand and you get some pretty decent offensives to accomidate.

Assassins are pretty badass overall. Rangers are pointless and Dirge is pretty good too, Troubs got the nerf and people hate them now.

As for Soga's, I still prefer the original Dwarf to the Soga Dwarf. There's no fat on the Soga! I constantly switch back and forth between them though, some things I like some things I dislike, when I get bored of one I go back to the other heh. No complaints for the other Soga's though. They're all pretty solid compared to the originals.

Have they ever done anything about the poison nerf to Rangers? I remember logging in one day during my first month of play and BAM my 50ish ranger could no longer kill blues without a couple minutes of downtime, pretty much killed the game for me.

GrobbeeTrull · 09-10-2006, 01:31 AM

I think you're playing the wrong game. No class has a couple of minutes downtime between battles, even if you're down to 1% hp. It's maybe a minute max.

But yes, Rangers were procing entirely too much off of their CA's, and it was fixed.

Bixxby · 09-10-2006, 02:10 AM

It's been like 6 months, I just remember the downtime trippling and my dps dropping to relatively nothing.
