One Shots: Looking at wild lands

That doesn't look all that beautiful. It looks pretty bland, low polygon, and non-descript,. The background anyways, the main character in the photo is in pretty stark contrast with its polish.

Whenever I see big mushrooms in a locale, I get flashbacks to EQ and the Paludal Caverns and other fungal places. Solid picture.

I can't Believe I actually got Featured :)

Cheers! Hope you guys enjoy the picture

Picture's not that bad. Looks a lot like WoW though. So much hype on this game makes me skeptical -- can't help but think of Darkfall whenever I read anything on it. Only time will tell.

How is this game? Do you just have to kill your way to the cap, or is there a steady flow of quests (and story) that you can ride?

Nice, I know that place! Its Ungoro Crater right?!

Please, the game is a horrible cookie cutter WoWannabe. Take WoW and Guild Wars and merge it together. Their is absolutely nothing the game brings to the table that is new or enticing. The character cusotmization is rich and the characters are nice and detailed. But thats where it ends. The game is a glossed over world of warcraft enviorment. I mean like guild wars gloss. Thats it. The combat is slow and simple. Character development is pathetic and limited and so is the crafting.

You'd be lying to yourself if you tried to say this game was anything more. You'd be just another FF11 fanboy who refuses to admit the hype was wrong and your game is nothing like it was hyped up to be. I will admit that WoW was great in its hay day, but just like EQ1 it is dated, though unlike EQ1 it is also watered down and bent to the will of its most nagging minority of cry babies. If your looking for games with depth and promise try a bunch of the overlooked ones out atm, like Warhammer, EvE, and EQ2. Warhammer has one of the most dynamic and fun PvP systems I have ever used, the graphics are pleasent and the lore and quests are quite fun. EvE has the harshest most time involved system out to date, its world is the largest in existence for an MMO and its clientel are ruthless. EvE is not for the faint of heart. EQ2 is probably the most overlook MMO out currently, it has one of if not the most robust lore and quest system out, its crafting system is very similiar in scope. I could not explain in enough details how good EQ2 is compared to every other MMO, at least PvE wise. If you like PvP i recommend Warhammer.

New and upcoming games that may offer you a bastion of NEW. I can say Fallen Earth looks one of the most promising. Keep an eye out though. Newer games are on the way with promise of surpassing the old. ^_^

WoW is now the Simpsons of MMOs. No game can have anything in it without the drooling ignorant masses screaming "WoW did it! WoW did it!" "Look that game has the color green in it! It's SOOO ripping off WoW".

I played the Aion beta and it's a solid, fun game. Quests are cool and very story driven. It's kind of linear until lvl 25 where you can go to the Abyss and PvP becomes a major part of the game. XP can be gained in PvP as well as "Abyss Points" which can be used to buy armor, weapons, wing upgrades etc. etc. Game is also gorgeous with low system requirements ans virtually no lag even with 100+ players on screen.

More quests are being added for the NA/EU release so it will be soloable via questing to max lv which is 50. Loads of dungeons are being added as well so make PvE a viable option compared to the PvP.
