What I like so far
#32699 - 08/20/07 05:09 AM

I've been playing online games since various BBS sites, then MUDs, and on into the era of the MMOs. I was wary of this game at first because, honestly...it looked like cheap crap. Now that I've had some time with it, I really enjoy how silly it is and how simple it is to play.

This is refreshing in the simplistic nature of the game yet the compelling aspects of becoming a compulsive leveler and item collector is there. It takes the basic concepts of an addictive RPG and MMO, boils it down to the primal ideas and then makes fun of it to boot.

One of my few complaints about the satiric tones would be that they haven't taken it far enough. More puns, more stupid jokes, more silly names all around the place. I want to see this become even more of a parody because that is what really makes it feel "right" to me.

Anyway, I really like this game more than I possibly thought I would.

Yeah, the humor really does it for me, too.

Agreed, as a veteran of more than a few MMO's since Ultima Online the humor and laid-back nature of this game is great and I agree they should heap on the on satire in all areas of the game.

Well this is my first MMORPG so I don't have a knowledge of other such games. But even for someone new this game hits the spot.

The really funny thing about the game is that it is so simple to play and yet so hard to stop playing. They really hit the sweet spot when it comes to satisfying simplicity.

Good job guys!!!

What you talkin' bout, Willis? I played free for less than a day before paying my five bucks. I'm gonna hit 20 pretty soon and I didn't have to sit at the computer 24/7 to do it. That is what I love about this game....quick and dirty.

i would agree with you but personally i feel that they can take it TOO far. as much as the puns, and sillyness are fun i think that by adding too much it devolves. A little more? why yess but for me not too much more, In my opinion if you lose too much seriousness it wouldt be as fun, not to mention all the sillyness has attracted quite a few young children asking extremely pointless qurestions and going /fart HEEE HEEE HEE on the world chat ( world four last night) now maybe its my paranoia and it isnt jsut young children ( lol) but i jsut wanted to state my opinion.

i agree with u 100% but please dont over do it

You know when you play a video game and you "get in the zone"? I totally get that in this.

I love that feeling.
