When you say Diablo, do you mean it’s an MMO with the same fluidity of combat as, say, Mythos? Because that was the only MMO whose combat I’ve ever enjoyed.

Colorful is one thing – the art style and color palette reminds me strongly of WoW. Which I don’t really mind, to be honest.

Sadly, I’ve been playing “Runes Of Magic” since it got a mention here – from a total MMO noob to being just this side of obsessed. Please don’t tell me of other such things, I beg you, especially with extra heaving bosoms!

i’m fine with bosoms, heaving or otherwise. i think its the whole time-sink aspect of an MMO mixing with heaving bosoms that weirds me out. i guess i felt as tho the game was rubbing my nose in all the real world breasts i was missing out on watching by playing the game and leveling my family up.

damien: If you tried playing Granado Espada using the auto-attack feature, you’ll have a terrible time. It’s basically there so that you can leave your party AFK for a while and they’ll not get murdered too horribly. They won’t use their abilities at all.

It’d be like playing World of Warcraft with just the basic autoattack and NOTHING ELSE. There’s a lot of gameplay there if you actually try to play it, and a good player can absolutely tear through a dungeon, firing off spells and AoE attacks all over the place.

And what’s wrong with heaving bosoms anyhow? Especially when the outfits are *that* fancy.

continuing with this wild tangent of free / semi-free / not-free-at-all MMOs: i’ve completely fallen in love with the chronicles of spellborn. from jesper kyd’s score to its infectious combat mechanics (load / build a “deck” of combat maneuvers onto slots in the “faces” of a skill bar that rotates in real time while you fight).

the creamy, surreal and swirley graphics dont hurt either.

i’m done being waaaay off-topic now. :)

The Exiled Realm of Arborea actually looked quite interesting to me, now if it just plays like Monster Hunter I’m giving it at least 2 months of my life.

Also, another decent (and I stress the decent) free MMO is Civony, kind of like a very slow Age of Empires…

@ dominic, granado espada AKA Jiggle of the New World? seriously?

the amount of “gameplay” that game provided me was depressing. its one of very few MMOs i’ve ever played that actually meant it when they implemented an auto-attack feature. without breasts in lacy baroque / nautical costumes i doubt the game would have any players outside of the Philippines.

as for warrior epic, i’m a sucker for action RPGs, so yeah, i signed up.

There’s a growing number of actually quite decent semi-free MMOs. It seems that the market just became so saturated with crap that to get a decent playerbase, you need to rise above the norm and do something exceptional.

Right now, we’ve got Granado Espada (AKA Sword of the New World, an action-RPG where you control three characters simultaneously), Atlantica Online (turn-based combat with each player having a party of nine characters), Ace Online (aka Space Cowboy, which is a third-person flying/shootery game), and now this? Any other actually good ones I’ve forgotten?

On the horizon is Continent of the Ninth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-gkFL7G8ow – looks to have a fantastic arcade combat engine), Blade & Soul (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtA1jSreK84 – beautiful looks, nice martial arts style) and The Exiled Realm of Arborea (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rmzICG0wgs – Very ‘heavy’ looking combat, with a focus on facing, and physical impacts, which kinda reminds me of Monster Hunter).

Good to see the wheat being seperated from the chaff now.

What makes warriors awesome?

His challenge/winning formula is unique. You only get PX if you finish the dungeon. This make the enphasys on teamwork skyrocket. Is a loveable tiny game.

I could be wrong, of course, since I played this eons ago, and my memory is shit.

I don’t know what the deal is with low-budget/asian mmos having so many redundant flashy explosions of light.

Hrmm. Looks like an MMOARPG that’s Free2Play with a Micro Transaction based system. Worth a shot, I reckon, since I just started D2 back up and I’ve been loving on my Guild Wars so much.
