With a change of lifestyle and what not, I realized I had a LOT of free time on my hands.. So, about a week ago I was craving a new mmorpg.. If I couldn't find a decent new one, I'd be willing to go back to the good ol' WoW (which is what I've ended up doing now anyway.. Let me know if any of you play )

 

What I DID try was Aria Games' Aura Kingdom.

 

It is basically a typical Anime mmo, with bright colours, cuteness and attempts at innovative stuff.

What you end up doing is cursing the bugs, delays and being envious of all the shit you're supposed to buy in the item mall, but couldn't possibly afford ;

 

I did try to buy like the cheapest amount of Aria points available. I spent fucking days trying to pay for that shit, but due to errors from my computer and a slow ass paypal process... I gave up.

 

So, yeah, this was sort of a rant.. but I would also like to hear if any of you have had similar experiences with new/old mmo's.

I think I still have game time on WoW. Everyone here that plays on and off is on ghostlands.US.

 

Eve Online seems like a lot of fun, but I just can't seem to get pulled into it.

If an mmo doesn't make you actually try it, it might not be worth it xD But EVE was extremely popular for a while. I don't know the numbers now, but for a sci-fi/space it's pretty cool

 

 

 

If I really think back, It all started for me with RUNESCAPE o_o; Quickly followed by RAGNAROK online for years haha

I gave it a try, I think it just has a really high intro curve if you don't know anyone else playing.

 

I played a lot of Runescape. >.>

I played Aura Kingdom when it was first released, got really far in the game and have several level 55+ characters. It was a lot of fun when everything was still new but then after about a month it became extremely boring. All you could do was grind dungeons and try to get gold to buy stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love grinding games, but when a game ONLY offers dungeon grinding and a little bit of arena, it gets old. 

 

I still love the game and would recommend it to someone to try, but all in all I think my time on AK is done. I might go back to it if there is some really new cool release, but until then I'm bored of it unfortunately. 

EDIT: And just so you know, you don't need to buy AP. You can do everything in the game with Loyalty Points and gold. People only buy gold if they wanna become OP without doing anything.. (I hate p2w people, they're always douches...)
