CONQUER ONLINE!!!! lol that games awesome

you can go to conqueronline.com and start up..If you do join dragon server my username is PyroManiac

The game is in a 2d background that looks 3d and is based on chinese culture..The best part of the game is free PK everywhere except for now u cant pk in the main town..Also I love the fact that u can jump and melee'ers usually 1 hit rangers and Melee'ers have a ranged attack themselves strangely..The class system is awesome and you can get reborn at highest lvl..

so yeah the game is awesome and has alot of aspets u have to find out about and it has low system reqz



1)can u make other characters like in ffxi?if so is it free?

The game honestly lacks character creation but the class system makes up for it..
100%free but sometimes they throw bull/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif at u and u have to pay real life cash for dragonballs for special features but they usually arent imporant and no-one realy buys DB's

2)is the character creation good?please give details!!!!

No~!

3)does armor and weapons have repeatible looks?

Kind of but the armor and weapons look kool and has a nice stats system

4)can u craft?

Yup.. U craft using meteors, Dragonballs, and gems

5)whats the battle style like?

Fkin Awesome!!.. You can pk anywhere and theirs pk arena's and guildwars.. U can jump!!.. the fact that you can jump makes the games Pking a little bit skill based and u have to be able to control characters well and be good at Fb'ing and SS'ing

6)is the world huge like FFXI or is it bigger or not as big?

Like 20 maps or so??

7)can u make ur own linkshells or what ever you call them guilds maybe?

Yup.. and theirs guildwars and you can have branches in guilds and guild leaders and deputys.

8)hows the community?

Theirs alot of idiots, but considering theirs a good pk system where anyone who kills u instantly becomes a sworn enemy..which u can delete...and it shows them on mini-map and u can atk them and Pwn them... this game is guns and roses.. either someones a friend or enemy

9)how much a month?

Free.. if you buy DB's ud prolly waste like 10US a month

10)are there diffrent servers if so how many?

like 30 servers lol.. if anything join dragon

11)can u switch jobs in the game?

You can get reborn at the maximum lvl and theres 2nd reborn.. so you could be archer-mage(tao)-warrior all at the same time or u culd be something like archer-archer-archer or in other words a pure..

1)can u make other characters like in ffxi?if so is it free?
As many as you like, no charge. You get to pick your server, too. None of that random placement crap.
2)is the character creation good?please give details!!!!
Yeah, I guess. You choose your faction, race, and class, and can customize your look (though I thought this aspect was somewhat limited).
3)does armor and weapons have repeatible looks?
For the most part, aside from epic gear.
4)can u craft?
Yes.
5)whats the battle style like?
You've got a hotbar of actions. You target a monster to attack, or target a player to heal, etc. General MMO fair.
6)is the world huge like FFXI or is it bigger or not as big?
It's really hard to compare MMO world sizes because they're all really huge if they're worth their weight. WoW is big, yes. You'll realize just how big when you ride a griffon anywhere.
7)can u make ur own linkshells or what ever you call them guilds maybe?
Guilds, yes. Linkshells is such a lame name.
8)hows the community?
Pretty excellent, actually. Friendly and fun.
9)how much a month?
$14.99. The perk is that you aren't charged for extra characters, which is one of the dumbest ideas ever.
10)are there diffrent servers if so how many?
Yes, like a bajillion. I dunno, I'd guesstimate around 50 active, both PvP and normal.
11)can u switch jobs in the game?
Sort of.
You get a main class, which is the archetype for your character. You can buy skills as you level up at profession trainers, and once you hit level 10, the Talents tree is available. Every level you get a talent point to spend somewhere in one of your available trait trees, but you won't end enough talent points by 60 to be able to be a jack of all trades - you'll go for a specific build. Of course, you can respec, which costs lots of money, but allows you to redistribute points in your talent tree. So you can sort of reroll your character.

As for professions (tradeskills), you can learn two of them, but if you decide you want to go for another profession, you can unlearn one of them. Like if you go for engineering and herbalism, but decide that herbalism is pointless in tradeskilling with engineering, you can unlearn it to get mining or something. But professions!=class. They're just tradeskills for crafting.

Hopefully this helps out some.

Hmm... There's a test version of WoW. You just have to download a downloader from their page, don't remember which one. Just look in google for "WoW Demo" or something like that. You'll get there eventually.

Anyhow, it'll give you a 10 day trial period with minor limitations. However, you need a credit card to create an account, even though you don't have to pay anything. I'm loading it myself at the moment.

This kind of make me want to get WoW. I always wanted to play a fun REAL MMORPG. Not another runescape.

It's definitely a different environment. Free MMOs attract... well, not so good people, on account of them being free. So you get a lot of kiddies in there trying to flex their e-peens. The quality of people willing to spend money on a game monthly is generally higher than young 'ens afraid to use their mom's credit card, making them resort to stuff like Runescape.

It's a pretty good game, all-around, if you're looking for an interesting MMO experience.

Conquer is definetly Awesome.

but you are wrong about being able to PvP in the main town, they disabled it n_n in most servers due to the continuous mass PK wars within the cities :\

The topic is "mmorpg? which one" :p, so it's relevant.
I don't really see a reason to make more than one character in FFXI :p, maybe an extra mule, and that leaves the monthly fee lower than that of WoW, Hsu. If you live in Europe, you can actually get one character of every race in FFXI before it costs more than WoW, because it costs more here than in the US. Unlike FFXI, where it costs the same both in the US and EU.

WoW has more options at character creation than FFXI, that I agree with, and it's a good thing that you can select servers freely. That doesn't really matter if you don't know any other players in the game though, and if you do, a world pass solves that. I'd still be able to choose freely though :(.
WoW didn't really appeal to me the 10 days I tried it. Dunno why, I've never really cared much about any of Blizzards games.

Frozen Phantom

I sure as hell Enjoy playing WoW...but I have to admit there are some obvious flaws when compaired to FFXI

1: unlike FFXI, you cant change classes without making a new character.

2: actually FFXI is cheaper than wow, but like 3 dollars a month if you only have 1 character.

3: I have had run ins with crappy comunity moments, so the comunity isnt as "perfect" as some of you might hope.

I think thats the end of my complaining....for now

WoW and FFXI.... are in a lot of ways similar... each has their pluses and their minuses. I personally liked FFXI better because for some reason I wound up with some good friends when I first started. Playerkillers can be tricky in WoW... which can be annoying especially at lower levels. THe inability to change classes freely is also annoying to me, because although I largely play mages or paladins, I like to test other things out because I'm an adventurer... as well as the cat curiousity killed.
I currently though play mostly Guild Wars... because its free online play, and I'm in university... so I don't always have money for monthly fees... Although.. I did save for PSU... but that was in the yearly budget.

Runescape is OK, btu it gets boring after lvl 60 and the graphics are bad. I like Knight Online. It's like a free, scaled down WoW, or so I've heard. I've heard ffxi has some major server issues. Um, but Knight Online has this thing, where if more than 1800 ppl are on a server and more than 80% of those r free players, only premiums can login there. also, if you make a character on one server, then make a character on another server, u can't move on to another server.

Kal Online=bad.

Hero Online, all the way.

Hero.netgame.com

this game is awesome, and the pet system is very good. Client download is only about 400+ megabytes, and takes very little time to start up.

If you do get on, I'm Sipheria on it. I can help you out, as I help many noobs out by partying up with them and leveling them up. They ususally return the favor in the future, which shows the community is nice.

-Awesome skills.
-Ability to fly and walk on water (after obtsaining skill)
-Free to play (some items can be bought for pay-pal)
-Pet system (come on, how tight is it to ride on a giant wolf that can charge through enemies and rip them apart?)
-Amazing graphics

just check it out, it's awesome. Just don't do Endless Online. Even though it's free and runs on dial-up, never, ever do it.... ugh...

Yeah, Hero Online, all the way.

That game screams "KOREAN WOW RIP-OFF".

I would reccommend Monster Hunter. You can buy it for 20 bucks, and its for PS2. No monthly charge. And its great because a lot of crafting is involved and things.

I lol'd because you're an idiot (as per every other post you make), it's 50 characters per account, always has been, always will be.

Note how Blizzard won't delete your character if you stop playing either.

Oh and every MMO has pretty terrible communities full of morons, it's just they're far more prevalent on free MMOs (which are ALWAYS crap, seriously, I've played at least twenty of 'em)

Anyway, screw 'em all and wait for Warhammer Online.

I actually never apologized. Still don’t tend to.

People like Cbc and yourself get no such from myself.

Edit: back on topic -

Knight Online

Pros: Small Compact casual game.
Livens up the party experience with bonus exp.
Nice musical score.

Cons: Perhaps to small of a world for some (exploring finished around the second day of play).
UGLY FUGLY GUGLY skill animations, constipated lightshows ;\.
May be extremely laggy for some (or off sync with your commands).
Battle system still needs some work and balancing :).

Final fantasy XI is the only MMORPG i have ever got my hands on to and i think its great^^ i have all ways been a final fantasy fan since ffvii (1st uk title) and have now played them all through. Ffxi is packed with clasic ff elements and i woulld say if you are a fan of final fantasy and want to play a MMORPG choose ffxi. It is verry addictive though and i probly shouldnt play as much as i do but o well^^
