MMO's not worth your time

• Hiccup wrote on 2010-05-03 00:57
  So I was recently on the lookout for some good MMO's to write a 2cent review about (cause that's exactly what their worth! ..... im so mean to me) and instead found a bunch of crappy ones. Anyway... here are some MMO's not worth even trying.
  
  Bright Shadow
  [video=youtube;_DJQLt3vRBI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DJQLt3vRBI[/video]
  Bright Shadow ? 100% Free to Play 3D MMORPG! Custom Characters, Card Collection, 20 Classes, hundreds of monsters, and a growing Community! Free Sign-Up! Free Download! Join now!?
  I had high hopes for this when it comes out since I sorta liked FlyFF and well this has the same graphical style (minus the flying).
  
  Why shouldn't I play Bright Shadow?
  The combat is extremely dull and boring. The typical click+wait system makes the game horrible. If you don't want to grind mobs you have to grind quests.... the game might have some new innovations and concepts but combat is all when it comes to having fun.
  
  Karos Online

  KAROS ONLINE
  
  
  Why shouldn't I play Karos Online?
  Karos Online has an extremely clunk UI which is really bothersome to deal with. Gameplay is dull and boring. The typical combat style of click+wait also applies here. Although it is impressive graphically and skill effects are nice it is so repetitive. Monster designs are also unique (somewhat) and cities are massive, but the boring combat and clunky UI make the game not even worth 1 hour.
  
  Sudden Attack

  Sudden Attack
  
  
  Why shouldn't I play Sudden Attack?
  Sudden Attack was the first modern FPS MMO. It was the game that started the FPS we now all know today, which means if you have played an FPS before, this is no different. Sudden Attack is relatively new to the US, and I've played it months ago but the game was just so like any other FPS out there that I stopped playing after a week. Graphics are pretty bad too considering it was made in the early 2000.'s Unless you enjoy the typical FPS then I wouldn't play this.
  
  Cloud Nine

  Why shouldn't I play Cloud Nine?
  Cloud Nine is essentially Holic 2, but with some majorly bad revisions. I loved Holic and was sad when I found out it got shutdown due to lack of player-base and funds. What they did to Cloud Nine is HORRIBLE! The UI is bad, graphics are horrible because you can't play with high graphics unless you can handle the lag. Plus the combat is click+wait which sucks, bad! They did bring back the seven star skill system which I still find amazing.
  
  Wonderking Online
  [video=youtube;6U4a0Sie8rc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U4a0Sie8rc[/video]
  WonderKing - Play for FREE NOW!
  
  
  Why shouldn't I play Wonderking Online?
  Wonderking Online was a game started in the 1990's, and I was really looking forward too since Maplestory was my favorite MMO for 3 years and this was an even better one. Turns out it's not. At least with Maplestory it will run if hackshield likes me enough. Wonderking Online has so many bugs and glitches and freezes up way too much!!! Even the login screen freezes! And my computer can more then handle this game ;~; New features are cool but fix the bugs please!
  
  Fantasy Tennis

  Why shouldn't I play Fantasy Tennis?
  Cool a tennis MMO! You would think this would be somewhat fun but the tutorial is extremely long and confusing. The learning curve for this game is worse then S4 League. Further playing of this game shows that not many people play and playing anywhere close to decently is impossible unless you really devote yourself to it. Once you play a few matches you've played em all. Maybe good casually at best but definitely not worth the time.
  
  Rohan Blood Fued
  [video=youtube;7UDABgCy6Ik]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UDABgCy6Ik[/video]
  R.O.H.A.N.: Blood Feud
  
  
  Why shouldn't I play Rohan Blood Fued?
  When starting this game I was confused as hell. They dont really tell you where to go and when you get to town (if you make it there) you have no idea what to do and where you are and how to get back to the beginner place. Graphics are nice, AOE skills cool, skill effects look nice, click+wait combat boooooring. I mean seriously this game needs to improve a lot to be remotely good.
  
  There are more MMO's I could list but I think you would get how bad they were even if you tried em so I wont post em. Besides they generally well known by now.

  idk man I play it just fine ._.'
  
  By the way, the pvp thing is pretty fun :/

  There's a lot of terrible MMO's out there...

  Bright Shadow has got to be the only game I've ever really dismissed due to the name. It's just...so...bad.
• Laconicus wrote on 2010-05-03 01:15
  No MMO is worth your time imo. :P They just burn time. It's not like you get any rewards or skills from playing them. None of the relationships you make last longer than the time you play the game. (Almost) no MMO is successful for more than 5 years.
  
  I've heard that Rohan is good though. I almost played it once D:

  I've tried several times, even months apart trying to play this game with no freezes/UI vanishing. I even sent a ticket to support and posted it on the official forums and I got nothing.
  :gloom:
  
  @Laco why you even playing Mabinogi and furthermore posting on a Mabinogi fansite? You obviously waste your time playing and like it enough to be posting here. Btw, games in general increase reaction time, can help with math, some require actual thinking and strategy which in itself is beneficial, there are probably more pros but I forget.
  
  Rohan sucks don't fall into it. inb4 "its a trap"

  I liked the original Holic. Flyff was terrible though.
• VitaminC wrote on 2010-05-03 01:57
  Eh, thats obvious trolling. Though there are most likely probably better things for improving reaction time(sports, music), math(way too numerous to name here), strategy(chess), and thinking(debatable?). No need to get snippy by assuming what he does with his time.
• Hiccup wrote on 2010-05-03 02:00
  Just saying since it was hypocritical of him to say MMO's are a waste of time when he/she plays one. .__.
  
  Wanna talk about trolling? Contribute to the original topic.

  I actually like Wonderking.
  That's because I started yesterday.
  
  I think it's much more better than MapleStory.
  I don't like seeing a Swing,hit,Swing,hit.
  I like the combos a lot.
  
  And besides, It's my alternative to Mabinogi.

  Lots of MMOs are terrible
• Hiccup wrote on 2010-05-03 03:02
  Lots and lots and lots. I know I've been through at least half of the 2005-present ones here in the US.
  
  We go from click+Wait combat, to beat em up, next is nobody knows. With a lil bit of FPS-style aiming in some MMO's (Spellborn, Age of Conan)
• Taycat wrote on 2010-05-03 13:34
  Wizard 101 is a terrible MMO.
  
  They're worse than Nexon.
  
  They make you pay to go to DIFFERENT AREAS instead of making it free.
  
  They even say is was F2P .-.
• Hiccup wrote on 2010-05-03 16:03
  Wizard 101 has the F2P name skewed. F2P doesn't mean free sign-ups and a small beginner area, it means free to play the majority of the game or with an optional cash shop. IMO Wizard 101 is still p2p.
