Free to Play MMORPGs Vs Pay to Play MMORPGs

Most Free-to play MMO games become a boring grind. The only MMO that did it right was Guild Wars IMO. They made REAL expansions that made it worthwhile to get. And I agree with Tauu, subscription based MMOs generally are better in terms of gameplay, stability and especially content.

The problem with micro-transaction driven games is that the people who value their money get screwed. The people who have money to blow (and end up spending more than a subscription game would cost) get so many advantages over users who choose to not pay that they gain a huge ego and make all the other people feel cheated. Does that feel like a fun game? Even with purely cosmetic stuff, if I see somebody with something I want for my character, I should be able to earn it for myself and not plop down $10 for it. Isn’t half the thrill of showing off rare items the fact that you did something to earn it?

Free-to-play is a novelty. Wolfenstein ET is the only true example of genuine free-to-play that was both a quality game AND very successful. Having millions of “registered” users doesn’t mean much more than alot of vaguely curious people that never bothered closing their account after trying it then moving on, or grieving alts for the nerds that don’t want to risk being banned from a “real” game.

Guild Wars 2 should be a good reminder to alot of people that it’s not just FPS’s that can exist with dedicated servers under the old retail-sale-price-ONLY model. Want more content? Buy the next major DLC/expansion. Simple, honest.

It’s like a bunch of retarded achievements the company is trying to rack up… what’s the most important thing with your game? Huge player base and a business model that milks as many $$$ out of the player… where is the attention to the ACTUAL product… a GAME? This whole thing is starting to develop the stink of a pyramid scheme.

Games are supposed to be about “fun” and “skill” otherwise it’s not a game!!!

For a long time i stood clear of f2p MMO’s hearing horror storys of being forced out of $100′s and $100′s of dollars for virtual items just to meet the next lvl cap or do the next quest.. And as addicted as i get to my video games if i like a game good enough i’ll find myself pouring money into it if need be..

But this last week i tried my first f2p MMO and I’m already hooked.. I’ve realized how much money I’ve spent into p2p MMO’s and how little i actually stuck with em.. I spent $110 for WoW+Expansions+Game card and played less then 3 weeks! I jus bought Fallen Earth a month ago and i got bored after my 14day trial (awesome game jus no pvp.) So i was desperate, about to go back to AION (yeah that desperate) when one of my ex-guildies i txt got me into Heroes of Three Kingdoms.. Since HOTK is a F2P initially i wasn’t even planning on giving it a shot.. But i was bored and broke and figured why not.. The game has been a delight since the get go, and i have actually purchased items on the cash shop myself heh.. But HOTK’s cash shop is nothing like the horror storys I’ve seen.. It is COMPLETLEY optional, only thing worth buying would be the fashion, and that’s exactly what i bought.. I bought a beginners pack for $20 which included all the stuff i need till end-game.. But even w/o the pack i could get by all it does is change my looks.. The most game changing item i saw was a 2 hour double xp orb that was like 25cents lol..

One of the reasons I like Subscription based MMOs more is it keeps out a lot (not all) of the idiots Most of the people playing are serious about it and not just people looking for some fun game to play just because it is free. I’d rather pay 15 dollars a month for a game and get all the content rather then have to pay for a whole bunch of little things that will end up costing me more then 15 dollars a month. At the very least, there should always be a 15 dollar a month option for everything.

Might and Magic Heroes Kingdoms Review

The beta for mmo Might and Magic Heroes Kingdoms is coming to an end, yet I would also report briefly to speak and make a small review.

Gameplay:

Except for a few translation errors but was all worked out quite well. Thanks to this tool, the game was clear and understandable. Above all, the combat system I was very pleased, for that is very opaque at several competitors. In sieges I am not quite clear how they calculate the time there (probably after troops and city expand, it was quite understandable then not stop).

An interesting aspect is also the resting of the armies and the opportunity to attack them. A successful invasion, which opens up a more tactical options.

When Mark, I found it a pity that he was as regional, because it was always very limited supply and often lacked the right one. Here you should add the whole perhaps, of course with an appropriate maturity bonus for longer distances.

Here I would like to put the idea of a market item, the items I had some double, others I would have like to have increased.

That is no longer a war of tears weak and I think it could have been here yet to test out (would have been a much better conclusion).

All in all it was fun and you’ll get from me for this reason

8 / 10

Bugs, server maintenance and Multiacc’s.:

I have to say bugs that not only come to me personally at (or I have not noticed?), Apart from transmission errors. For a beta that is pretty good, but yes it must be said, that the game in France has been running for a while.

The servers were actually more bearable and maintenance have not hindered me in the great game. The track was always in the frame. As for the times, it would of course be very nice if something would be done only at night, but I do not think that you may require a support team.

Multiacc’s are as many BG’s also a big problem and I am not sure whether there are any Schutzmaßnamen … it might have to try it:) at least there were massive complaints from the community on which little or no response was … I am not aware that an IP spear or the same has been introduced and it is not for the players after such Acc’s look out for.

Overall, I would be here so mediocre  5 / 10 points

Graphics:

Ensure that the game was brought here by the beta on the German market could have been here but can make modern improvements.

For a three or four years old game, it may be appropriate, but as I said here would clearly have been possible (Flash maybe …)

There is also a poorer Internet still playable (eg from a laptop via UMTS).

Furthermore, I have the card one or two zoom levels lacked upward … that was sometimes a bit annoying if you wanted to pursue, for example, where someone was running, or just to see how it is made to the Alliance area .

Especially I would like to point out here with the idea of video sequences contribute. A plus point for this, but it should still be more happy!

All in all, I feel this is only an minor defects here and forgive so 7 / 10

Support and board admins:

For support, I can not say anything, I have never used … but have heard in the forum, which should have the game master server from the French also took over the management and there were probably not as active …

From the admins here were very little, although it has recently seemed a bit to get better. Mostly, however, there were players who were here worked on the principle of trail and error, the information and then have helped each other on. Here is a thank you to all those who have asked here industrious and helpful to the problems of other users!

Short and  3 / 10

Payment:

Since it is not in the beta was, it was of course free to play the perfect game!

Of course it is understandable that the financing of the servers and the support, premium options must be introduced (and a small profit that justifies the development should also still be in it).

Firstly, I want to criticize here but that one has not been announced to the premium end of the beta functions for public sector in detail, but players have informed the French on the server provided Premuim functions.

I think the game cuts to come by so severe that flow of the game will be disturbed with certainty. € 5 for a Premium Acc. is just too excessive and only three cities and three heroes for the player is not entitled to take the easy one cheek (though it shall be increased during the game). It must be possible to get into the tops (even if it is then practically almost never the case for non-premium players, at least in theory), which in my view, is then no longer exist.

Should come as (and yes, it will be 99.9%) then this game does not deserve the additional free to play!

From me, there is reason for it  0 / 10

Overall, I would stake so  6 / 10  I think it has to give its own character, a rich history and the bottom line has made it fun. Since there are considerably worse representative …

So, I hope you enjoyed my little review and I look forward to  your opinions and feedback. I wish you all much success Eich and enjoy the last day in the Beta!

If you have a better MMORPG to suggest, you can leave your feedback on our comment section, any constructive suggestions are welcome.

Erebus: Trivia Reborn

Erebus’ Closed Beta 2 was recently completed and the game was given positive comments by the testers. It was developed by Outspark, a company strong in the gaming industry. Erebus is a F2P MMO in which the world was swept with evil and you must join friends and form allies to retake what is yours. There is constant Pvp and open battles which players can partake in. There are 4 different classes which each have their own strengths and weaknesses. There is the warrior, mage, archer and cleric. The controls are easy to learn and manipulate in combat and exploration. The system requirements for the game are low and can run on most PC’s from 2006 onwards. If you like full action, I advice you try this game.

Allods Online

Allods Online is a heavily populated and very well designed game by Gpotato, a company popular for its astounding free 2 play MMOs. There is an indepth story which traces back thousands of years between wise men such as mages and wizards.

There are 8 classes to choose from such as summoner and psionicist which are uncommon in other games. Guilds are formed easily and are plentiful in the game. Pvp is a major aspect in Allods as there are specific arenas as well as free killing areas where the two factions can face off. I advice everyone to try this game as it shows it is a great game.

Monster Forest

Monster Forest is currently in Open Beta and can be played by anyone. The combat is turn based which is unpopular, but if mastered, can be a good attraction to players.

Character Appearance is mainly fashionable as the player is able to make his character look like real life people. Pets play an important role in Monster Forest as they are you fighters while you are on adventures. There are 8 different species that have special abilities and will aid you in different ways.
