considering free MMO's : the considering

From the video it looks like Sword 2 teamplay is more of a way to play without doing anything, like the commentator so proudly states that you can level up sooo fast even when afk. Doesn't look like it has anything else different from the usual MMO boredom, so if you like that stuff, sure, try it.

Pyros already made a great Dynasty Online thread.

You already have TF2 so I don't why you should lose your time with a subpar shooter.

Taikodom could be nice, I guess, most of the videos I see are of just people flying from one location to another. But I'm curious, it looks like a Freelancer MMO.

Addendum: That guy is the worst goddamn commentator ever, Jesus.

Yeah, I remember hearing that you could, in the first game, set a bunch of macros for your guys and they'd automatically kill stuff, loot and pot. So, botters, but the game SEEMS nice even then.

Bells: Since you understand Portuguese, I've a recommendation: This guy. He does gameplay videos of a bunch of MMOs, you may find a good one.

about the narrator... yes. yes he is.

When i was playing the beta for Sword 1, there were a few kinks. You do level up in a nice, fast pace. But it was just less grinding. there was also a nasty design flaw that they fixed, that you could challenge someone to PvP and it would atomaticaly be accepted in a few seconds, so you could kick ass of people AFK and gather easy wins.

but for me the game felt less than dull... there is little to do (at least there was) in the game outside of combat and PVP, and the quests are all straighforward. But there is actual strategy in there and you are not locked into a character or account. you can change your team and try new things all the time and even change character for low level new characters if you feel like starting over.

Also, since each player contols 3 characters, if you pull a raid with 10 people you have 30 units on screen fightin, which i thought was a nice touch of epicness

Dungeon Fighter Online is if nothing else interesting. It's not new, but they're still adding stuff. I tried it out with my brother and friend a while back when they'd added the Female Gunner and I have to say that if either of them had kept playing, I'd have had a reason to do so myself. Sadly, Kyle moved on the Aion and Phantom7 just kind of fell out of it, so there wasn't much point.



Perfect World is one I liked. The classes are all good in their own ways and maintain an okay balance. I happened to be well-suited to Venomancer and Mage, but I also played Archer and Barbarian extensively (names may not be correct, but you'll know when you see them). I started in on all the classes, but it just got to a point that I left, ironically, because I didn't want to have to advance, and I realized making a Psychic and Assassin in the Rising Tide expansion when it came out was just postponing the inevitable.

I mean, I really did like playing, especially when my brother was still on it, and it was pretty bug-free, but there was just something that made me not want to creep further and further toward the major hub city. The sandboxes were great for every race, the world was pretty, the music was nice, I got some REALLY nice items from crafting, but, I dunno, part of it was that my computer lagged all the way to Power Point whenever crowds were present, but another part of it is I'm very careful about getting addicted to games and the Internet after a very bad experience.

At any rate, Perfect World will always have my recommendation, no matter how long it's been since I left.
