Post subject:  MMO Discussion Thread (Never gonna find one -.-)


This game is pure epic, epic enough for me to revive the MMO Discussion Thread.

Essentially if you like any of the Final Fantasy games, this is for you!

Battling is seriously wide-scale. You can have up to 27 v 27 battles. You yourself control up to nine people, and can have up to three people in a party.

Class breakdown (for your character):


Sword: The Swordsman has the best survivability of all classes, which makes him the natural tank class. His attack is rather strong, but it can only affect a single non-flying target in the front row, so he should not be solely relied upon for offense. The Swordsman's basic magic skill, Flame Sword, attacks one enemy for a greater amount of damage.

Spear: The Spearman can attack a single non-flying foe in the front row. If there is another foe in the same column directly behind the target, that foe also receives damage, although less than the original target. The Spearman's basic magic skill, Lightning Spear, attacks two foes in a line for greater damage and reduces their attack power.

Axe: The slow-moving Viking can attack a single target in the front row. If that target has one or two neighbours in the same row, then those also take some damage. This character has many hit points but low defense, especially versus magic. The Viking's basic magic skill, Freezing Axe, can freeze an entire row of enemies for two turns.

Bow: Despite bonuses to evasion, this character's low health make it unsuitable for the front line. It is a potent counter for enemy spell casters though, as the powerful single-target attack can reach every foe, regardless of its position in the enemy ranks. The Archer's basic magic skill, Silence, prevents the enemy from using magic.

Gun: The Gunner wields a musket and carries rather low protection. This character can damage an entire column of foes, with foes in the front absorbing taking most of the damage. The Gunner's basic magic skill, Wild Shot, shoots especially powerful bullets at a column of enemies and deals greater damage.

Cannon: The Artilleryman is armed with a hand-held cannon. Its standard attack damages a cross-shaped area, dealing a low amount of damage. The Artilleryman's basic magic skill, Deep Insight, inflicts damage over an area and enables him to see his foe's remaining hit points.

Staff: The Shaman has both healing and damaging skills to support the party. Due to low health and defense, this character is best placed away from the front line. The Shaman's basic magic spell, Blessing of Life, heals her fellow mercenaries.

Mercenary Class Breakdown:



Sword: Swordsman, Exorcist, Lady Knight, Pirate
Staff: Shaman, Monk, Oracle, Witch, Princess
Axe: Viking, Beast Trainer
Spear: Spearman, Spartan
Gun: Gunner, Inventor, Janissary
Bow: Archer, Prophet
Cannon: Artilleryman, Cannoneer

Tabula Rasa is a cool, friendly space MMO. http://www.rgtr.com
I took a break from it recently, but I could just pick it up now. Lots of potential, but still needs some work.

Dreamlords is a fun, BEMMORTSRPG http://www.dreamlords.com
(BrowserEnabledMassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRealTimeStrategyRolePlayingGame) that needs you to manage your Patria 'base' with a web browser, and the client is where you actually play the game (RTSMMORPG). Game is in Alpha/Beta right now, but Fileplanet members (is that most of us? i think it is) have access to a FP-exclusive Open Beta.

Also, there is this awesome game I heard of called Cortex Command, and the forum is practically an MMO...

The game's got to be either free, or open beta/alpha. Plus, no one can be already playing it. We should all start out the same level.

HEY GUYS I KNOW WHAT GAME WE SHOULD PLAY.

RUNESCAPE. IT'S SOOOOOOOooooOOOOO AWESOME!

OR, ADVENTURE QUEST! THAT'S EVEN BETTER. IT'S, LIEK, FLASH, LOL.

Ragnarok online? You have to pay, but.WAREZ ARE NOT GOOD FOR YOU. it's good.

Or maybe Gunz. But there's hacking. Lots of them. I know. I did it. It's fun.

Or, if we're desperate enough, we'll resort to Maplestory. NOT RUNESCAPE, PLEASE NOT RUNESCAPE!

Or, like grif, we could play ADVENTUREQUEST! Or its copies! Like DRAGONFABLE and MECHQUEST! They're all the same.

Is there a rule against typing small? If so, can you just delete this, and not enlarge it?


hey don't type so ♥♥♥♥ small ~antiquity

There is now.

  • Typing in excessivly large/small letters. 85 though 150 is acceptable.

There's no shame in it, I was a subscriber for 18 months, before I got tired of just constantly making trading runs between east ardogne and varrock.

Still, I worked hard for my level 35 thieving, though my complete lack of any combat did result in combat level 10, overall level 12.

That's... free...ish...
Huh, well. Does it have to be completely gratis or just no subscription fee?

Post subject:  Re: MMO Discussion Thread

I'm pretty sure we're shooting for totally free with not a massive download size. 'Premium store' or whatever is fine.

Am I allowed to delete the things I typed small then?
