1)Still active, there are thousands of posts every day at the Official Forums which only paying customers have access to.Xzile wrote:Hi there, I currently play EvE online (and have done for about 3 years) and I'm looking for a game to play when my corp isn't pvping (which is all that i do now). It's a tossup between this and SwG.
I have played pretty much all MMOs to endgame except AO which I have never had any experience of. I have some questions if anyone can help:
1) How is the player base now? This is obv an old game so I would imagine it's losing players. (I still play UO from time to time so i feel the effect of this)
2) Is the levelling system pretty much just grinding or is there a quest system in place?
3) Is soloing doable? I play at weird times and soloing must be possible for me.
4) What are classes I can solo with?
5) How easy is it for a new player to get involved? I played Lineage2 for a bit and it was impossibe due to the fact that everyone had everything. Without ebaying stuff (which i refuse to do) it was pointless. Is this the same in AO?
6) How difficult is it to find a good corporation/guild/organisation/whatever? Are there many about? Do most use TS/Vent?
7) How is the PvP scene? Is pvp available at lower levels even possible? What types of pvp are there? Are there any type of organised group pvp?This is what I always end up doing in MMOs and is really my main focus
How gear dependent is the game?
9) Would u start again now?
Thanks much for any replies. Will prolly login for the first time tonight and have a look around!
Yup, that's the way to do it, by the time your Martial Artist is about level50, you will have a good grasp of the game...Gimpeline wrote:If you play AO for the first time I recomend MA.
They are cheap to play. You don't have to worry about weapons + They can solo verry well.
As a froobie this list isn't quite hitting the mark, aside of MP (Meta-Physicist). It depends on your level and equipment (yes, equipment can make a huge difference), but in general I would suggest either one of the pet professions (MPs (access to healpet!), Engineers and (Bureau)Crats) or non-pet professions like Fixers (especially with GA, Grid Armor), MAs (Martial Artists) and Adventurers. MAs have the advantage of not requiring a weapon (they have their fists), in return you have to meddle with special attacks, which counters the whole weapon thing again.4) Keeper (needs Shadowlands Expansion), Enforcer, Soldier, Meta-Physicist and Doctor. These professions can go toe to toe with almost anything.
2) well I just started & quests are giving me a decent amount of exp.Xzile wrote:2) Is the levelling system pretty much just grinding or is there a quest system in place?
