Quite a few free MMO's that are superior to EverShit 2.

Playing a few at the moment casually, and well, gameplay, grouping (loads and loads of people playing, because, well, it's free!), PvPing, CUSTOMER SUPPORT, everything is superior.

Archlord was poo though hux. Apart from the slut character models!

Did you ever PvP? You kinda need to get >30 to enjoy Archlord. <30 you don't have enough skill points to gain any decent combat arts, spells, pets, etc, and PvP opportunities are next to none.

Ahh no, got really fed up with the grind early on.

PvP in Perfect World is interesting. Guilds can tender for the right to 'war' with another guild for territory. So every week the toughest guilds have to defend their borders. And obviously there's lots of money at stake. As well as whenever anyone enters a territory (like a PoI in EQ2) they are told which guild owns it, so big bragging rights.

There's the usual duelling and pvp random ganking going on too.

If you're fed up with the grind... well... at the moment I am still hearing Aion is very much a grind fest.

And the PvP is cool, especially when a party goes after the Archlord, I got caught up with some level 70+'s and kept getting pwned in AOEs lol but was fun to watch.

I don't mind a grind, just not a grind which is autoattack or out of power.. In Archlord I could use maybe 1 ability per mob.. max.. usually just hours and hours of autoattack.

The combat in Aion looks diverse and engaging. So I should hopefully enjoy hours of that!

Looks the same as Archlord until you get higher levels and gain skills. Most of the Beta testers are getting beta buffed to higher levels.

And, how can you go out of power when you can stack so many Mana Potions? /ponder.

I have a 34 Mage and 22 Elementalist, the human mage is more fun to play at the moment due to having more skills to shoot at stuff with

I'm curious as to when they will be opening US/EU beta, considering they are supposed to be aiming it more towards them markets. Closed Korean beta testing will jsut make it another typical asian grind fest game.

That's a good point. Maybe I'm not remembering that quite right. I know something which really did annoy me was the token system, I forget what it's called. But having to use real money to buy tokens to get important stuff in game.

Fair enough, gotta finance the game somehow, but I just thought that sucked.

There is something that I don't understand : if a good game is FREE, how do the earn money ? I mean that all people who work (and it is a lot of time ...) need to eat and live, don't they ?
Lots of Internet software are free because you have to get/read all publicity, I know some guys who give software for free... because customer service or help for installing is not.
For a game I don't understand !
