Bump.
Is there anyone on this forum that actually play this game currently? I've wanted to try it since before it was released, but a lot of negative reviews (plus it being a tad expensive) made me reconsider. However, I'm still curious about it and would like to hear from people who play it or played it for a while.
Something more than just "no it's not worth it" would be nice though - if you don't think it's worth it, please tell me why. Other than that, I'm interested in hearing people's opinions, both good and bad.
I played it for a few months after release then quit, so I don't know much about it now since it's been nearly a year. I also didn't make it to lv cap so I have no idea how high lv gameplay works.
The main selling point of the game was the large scale PVP. The questing/lving process is the same as every other MMORPG out there, with better writing and a little bit more exploration. The PVP didn't work for me due to the massive lag, that's why I quit. No point paying for a PVP focused MMORPG and unable to play it because of lag.
If you're into large scale PVP MMO such as Warhammer online, maybe it's worth a try. Otherwise don't expect anything different from other MMO. The missions/quests/character progression is better than most other MMO out there, but IMO it's not good enough to pay monthly fee for them.
IMO, FFXI was(was!) a better MMO.
