  [SIZE="1"]ya summers booooring :I Everyone working[/SIZE]
  
  Anywhooo~ I'm sick of a lot of em, each for varying reasons that pertain to either the publisher/community or just the game itself.
  
  Jade Dynasty: CASH SHOP WHOARS! Devs introduce new classes, 2 months later all we've gotten is cash shop update after cash shop update. They put this stupid thing called Lotto where you spin/stop a thing and HOPE/PRAY/KILLSOMEONE for the item you'd buy it for. Example~ Chormatic Wings. First wings available to fly on :T_T: And I keep d/c from the server in the middle of the night, so I can't bot >:( makes me EMO!
  [s][SIZE="1"]caps are cool yo[/SIZE][/s]
  
  Mabinogi: Ugh, do I need to explain it. Server stability is shot, completely. Like can we get a r1 healer over here?! Grab some bandages >_> Something to keep em alive!
  
  S4 League: K, so I've been playing for quite some time now, and I'm by no means the best, try to be the best, or show that I've played for as long as I have (over a year *cough*). The community is horrible. HORRIBLE! Did I mention horrible? I'm playing in ST2 today and I'm using anchor cause I don't really want to jump, plus its boring after months of doing it and blah blah. I've always liked anchor anywayz and use it in other maps as well :XD:Well god forbid I use anchor cause its "noob'. Lawl.
  1) Devs made it, and keep it in the game
  2) I play how I want to, not how YOU want me to Kthx
  3) EASY POINTS = FAST LEVELING = MOAR MONEYZ:2thumb:
  Anyway, this guy automatically assumes I can't jump and THEREFORE know absolutely nothing about the game. And starts spewing this stuff about "When your my level all your gonna do is jump and know that anchor is wrong." And begins to lecture me about the game, I obviously just tell em whats-what and not what he thinks it is. He was talking about "Host Rules" (not implemented fyi). He meant Room Rules. He wasn't having any of my "elitist attitude". ~sigh. ILU ANCHOR.
  
  Allods Online: Mindless quest grinding. MUST GET 25 BAG SLOT DROP! Ugh, so if you raid up 10~20 people the drop rate increases. And theres this quest where you need superly duper extreme rare drops to get a 25 slot bag, instead of newbie 15 slot bag. asdasdadasdad I spent 2 hours killing mites and I GOT NOTHING! :T_T:
  
  Now games I've tried
  
  Wonderking: THIS GAME WILL NOT WORK ON ANY COMP. I HAVE! WTFUX! >:( IFHU
  Ijji: Stupid Reactor T_____________T waste of a download/time!!!! DX I can't even download games from it, plus it likes to hog all my power!
  
  So sick of this bull ;~; Annoying!

  Imagine Online: This game has a combat system which is really similar to Mabinogi
  However, it has more a variety of enemies than Mabinogi and is more complex
  with "Magic type, Penetration type, spread type, etc."
  It's also EXTREMELY more grindish than mabinogi and the monsters in the dungeons are overpowered even if you have a party of people who are higher level than the monsters themselves
  
  The repair rate of equipment is lower than Ferghus and more expensive than Edern.
  
  The cat and Blademasta enjoyed this game but the cat quitted when he found out the JP servers only updates the gachapon and not the content of the game itself. Did the cat mention gachapon? Gachapon items are expensive, and more powerful than any drops in the game. The only weapons with elemental effects AND the highest damage comes from Gachapon.
  
  However, the cat loved the game's Demon system.
  It's like pets but free. You can "talk" with demons and convince to join you but there's a lot of requirements. Hostile demons are extremely difficult and so are demons who are even at the same level as you. These demons can be more powerful than your character. There's also a fusing system where you combine demons of different types into one. The new demon has a chance of inheriting skills. Mostly it's double fusion but end game it's triple fusion. Some of the best demons can only be found through fusion but it's like at the level cap.
  
  This is messy as the cat just types what he thinks of it but there you go.

  For a second there, I thought the cat was talking about a game I didn't know about. Then I read "demons" and realized it was SMT. I'll admit I only played that game during the beta test, but even then, I didn't find it very enjoyable. Barring the fact that negotiations were glitchy, it was incredibly grindy, I couldn't care less about the "story" (gee, some lady who I knew nothing about and yet was apparently important to me died in the first five minutes and I find myself not caring at all!), and fusion seemed pointless early in the game since, during the levels where I cared enough to grind, the demons they handed to you were more than enough. There's also the fact that it was in Aeria's hands and precedence shows that they love breaking their games through their cash shops, and I heard Atlus wasn't really involved with it anyway.
  
  I liked Seal Online a few years back. I played the JP version to death after I found out that the English release wasn't going to happen due to internal conflict with the companies. Then the English release actually did happen a few years later and the game was still enjoyable since I could actually talk to people outside of private English-speaking chatrooms and understand NPC dialogue (though I missed what I had in the JP server, like the Valkyrie pet my friend bought for me).
  
  But eventually, people started quitting, I got bored, some server-wide "drama" occurred during my absence and made a lot of other people quit, and I came back to find that the servers were much emptier and overrun with foreigners and arrogant people and gold farmers. It was much less grindy than MapleStory used to be, but I grew really tired of the mindless grinding. The combat system and other gameplay mechanics were rather outdated by the time of the game's English release, and the classes weren't balanced all that well. It was also difficult to raise a pure support priest without cash because generous parties were few and far between, and even then, most people were selfish and didn't share any loot (which was a problem because the drop/looting system was also outdated). But I did like the cute costumes and the variety (and viability) of builds you could have within single classes. It's too bad the game is too old for me or my former Seal friends to care anymore, because I did enjoy it a lot back in the day.

  tl; DID READ
  Anyway, i used to play Trickster. It has alot of features in it but i found them to be too poorly explained. It was also pretty hard to make friends since nobody ever really talks to anybody, and there wasn't much customization to define you from other people. It was fun for a while, just running around to random spots and drilling for items, but i grew tired of the system and the make-no-sensi-ness. Characters were teensy as well. I was really young back then, so maybe it was just me being stupid.
  
  Either way,i didn't like that much.
  OH AND RUNESCAPE
  Gahdjhaskjv hrip gerphg
  I used to be heck addicted, until i got scammed. The end.
  Well, not quite. I checked it out a few months ago but found the dullness and laggyness of the game to be too much on my nerves. I hated the hack and slash system, and the teensy tiny overall game size. I LIKE THINGS BIG, OKAY!?!?!?
  
  I played both games about 4 years ago. Trickster has probably changed the most, and maybe i should check it out again ... but only when mabi is on a crash phase :)

  Reguarding the anchor thing in S4 League, if any one starts nagging about how anchor is soo cheap in TD, just tell them that they are the ones who are noobs cuz they can't handle an anchorer. Seriously, I hate it when someone blames a person for using a mechanic built into the game and claims that they are either cheating or being a noob. If you can't stop an anchorer from scoring a touch down, then it's YOUR FAULT, not the other player. The same can be said for wall shooters, campers, hand gun users, AP hoars, fliers (yeah, I've heard ppl complain about me using the flying skill occasionally even though it moves really slow in the air) and invis players. The only reason anyone should get mad at another player is when they are hacking to win.
  
  I personally don't like using anchor because it leaves you wide open to attacks. I should know, because I use the sniper rifle in that game a lot and anchors are among the easiest players to kill. Granted, they are the most prone to scoring in maps like station 2, but if you know all the good anchoring spots, then you'll have a better chance at stopping them.

  "The cat" reminds me of someone dear. >:
  
  I loved WonderKing. :l But tbh, I hacked. A lot. But you know, they were never really doing a good job of keeping hackers away at the time. I regret it now, though, because it ruined the game for me. I had a level 8x Saint and I loveditsomuch, but I don't go back to it cause it's pretty boring now. They lack content updates for end-game and just in general which is why a lot of the people quit. But they have DOUBLE JUMP. OMG.
  Maybe, maybe I'd go back to it if they had an affordable name-change option, cause I don't like the IGN I gave my main and I don't want to start all over again. :l
  Oh and the community is obsessed with PvP.
  
  whatelsehaveiplayed.
  
  Trickster Online, is a cash-shop whore too. Like seriously. If you don't have Cash Shop armor then you're basically considered a "noob" by the community, and once I found this out I ragequit and uninstalled.
  
  MapleStory... wow, don't get me started.
  All I have to say... I loved this game in the beginning, in my TRUE noob days when I knew NOTHING. It was all about friends back then, and not all of this powerhungry cess pool that the community is now. I miss the days back when all we had were just Magicians, Warriors, Archers, and Thieves; none of that Aran or Cygnus or Evan crap. Too many updates, too much hype... I don't know. I just miss those good 'ol days. >:
  But now I refuse to touch that game, though I still have it installed. I don't plan on going back to it, I already gave all my things to friends anyways.
  
  Rappelz ended up being a grindfest like people told me but I liked it in the beginning.
  
  As for Mabi
  I just started playing it a few weeks ago and I still love it, despite my noob-status. ugh.
  I'll probably get tired of it eventually, but what's a real turn-on for me is the lack of class-limitation, and the entire "Life" skill category.
