I'm starting to think that some of these companies are just reusing their same maps and models and just reskinning them to put out more and more dime a dozen f2p games. Look at the companies like Frogster, Astrum Nival, and Turbine- they each only have one or two f2p games, and they are all pretty unique and fun. Look at these by Aeria and some of these other Asian Grinder companies releasing the same MMOs over and over.

By the way, what ever happened to Aika? Wasn't that the big "large scale PvP" game? Or was it nothing special and pretty much forgotten about?

Hint: The last question.

When I checked out Aika, "nothing special" was indeed the phrase that most accurately described it, and I have indeed pretty much forgotten about it.

Exactly, some of these games use things like HUGE PVP OMGZORS, and you might even try some of them, I tried to get into Aika, the pictures and reviews didn't seem so bad, but it turned out being another crappy free game, just like the other 90% of free MMOs available. These companies need to stop using the same crappy graphics, the same Asian themes, and the same boring gameplay... Innovation is the best thing that can happen in MMOs.

KH would have been almost interesting if it weren't for its AFK levelling system; you summon a minor army of soldiers who run around killing mobs for you while you stand there. It sapped any fun.

The thing is Heroes of Three Kingdoms from Perfect World International is doing the same exact thing. The difference is that their battles are based on historic events and have missions similar to ones that were performed in history.

Perfect Worlds Heroes of the Three Kingdoms is just Red Cliff online(which has been out for awhile) ported to the west.

Actually that system kept me playing especially when the quests ran out you dont have to just grind a million mobs your bots did it for you.What is sapping the fun for me is Aeria's item mall prices> you mess up your talent tree and you have to pay $20 to fix it, mess up your stats $15.You want to upgrade an item and you are at 80% chance to succeed you need to buy a 2.50 item or chance destroyed gear(which there is a $13 dollar mall item to bring it back) so upgrade 3-4x from that point you spent $7.50-10 on a item that doesnt even help success rate(there is a $1.75 item to use every upgrade try for that).Basically pvp is about who spent the most money on upgrading and enchanting there gear.
