    Found a great discussion about MMOs in general and why the new generation won't find games like MO2 appealing

    Albion is FREE, has cartoony graphics, is easy to run, easy to understand, easy to play, easy to level, easy to avoid pvp, the game runs smoothly and there is a TON of solo content. The only similarity to MO is that in pvp you drop gear on death. Thats about it. Everything else about Albion is...

    Returning Player Questions

    The only starting area is Haven, and there is no pvp there. Once you enter the main server there are no starting areas. Its just a matter of where you want to live. The more populated the area usually the more ganking there is. Joining a guild is not a must but it makes everything so much...

    Combat pets need removed or mega reworked

    Yea it sounds like you gor ganked by KrankOne ove by Vadda( or copycat). He does the multiboxing thing where he has a second tamer with a pet riding shotgun.with his main rider he kills your horse and then uses both characters to send pets on you as soon as you are dismounted. Its the only way...

    Outlaw Spawns

    I agree on both points. Outlaws spawn are aids if you dint have a horse. The fact that they spawn pretty much on you (cant avoid them) and chase you forever is retarded. On top if that there are usually 5 of them and even casters and bowmen. It just feels like a greefing mechanic implemented by...

    Risk Vs Reward & Combat Balancing in Full loot MMO's.

    To be fair this mechanic was implemented because otherwise it would be impossible to finish an opponent with a melee weapon. People would constantly put their weapon away, run away and bandage if it worked the other way. The problem is that the guy trying to finish his opponent also needs to use...

    Seems like its working correctly then. Skill wins every time. What else do you want?

    Risk Vs Reward & Combat Balancing in Full loot MMO's.

    i disagree on the offensive meta. All it does is reward zergs as focus firing becomes the main strat when offence is preferred. Currently, a good blocker can last a long time even when focused fired by multiple enemies. Give people an easy ability to bypass blocking, and the incentive will be to...

    Pets are ruining small scale PVP

    It is quite clear that you have not read all the comments in this thread for many of these points have been discussed. Here is a short recap. 1) yes, thats why there are 73 replies to this thread, where the average threads in this dead forums is 5 replies. 2) 1vs1 when faced with a strong pet...

    TC brought no valuable content

    As per usual, SV over compensates to try and fix their own broken mechanic. In order to prevent ninja sieges they made sieging ridiculously tedious and expensive, so nobody does it. All they had to do was remove boulder holding on offline characters. Being able to use a claim stone on a...

    Notes on the New Player Experience

    This game will never appeal yo the vast majority of gamers. These days especially, everyone wants instant and constant gratification. Nobody wants to wait for anything. Apparently not even walking a few minutes in a tutorial. Frankly, if you are that impatient, this isnt the game for you. This...

    beginner questions about combat

    Yes, usually you know what weight your usual armour is and you make sure you have enough armour weight for it ( second tab in your paper doll). Take a steel/silk armour set for example. Depending on the type, it weighs around 24 to 25 kg. So, if you want to wear it, you need Armour training to...

    TC is here but where are the players?

    The other disappointing thing is how there havent been very many sieges so far. Ive heard of only 1 so far and not sure if they managed to actually destroyed the keep. Most people seem more willing to just sell a keep they cant defend. How ridiculous is it to implement a sige mechanic that...

    TC is here but where are the players?

    I also believed that many more players were waiting to come back for TC. Quite surprised that so few did. It is also summer so people aren't playing games as much. However, if in the next couple of month there isn't a sizeable surge of returning players then i’m not sure it ever will. If TC...

    Need some insight into Mounted Archery build

    MAs use mostly dense crepite short bows because they shoot fast and take no stamina, so you can shoot forever. The best short bows require minimum 82 strength. So technically a vheela, with bow clades, can use those bows with 62 strenght. Not sure why the OP was talking about 100 strength bows...

    beginner questions about combat

    First of all you need good armour as a footie. Steel or better. Potions help too. Lancers hit really hard so, once you have lost your horse and are on foot, your only play is to use terrain (rocks, trees, water, houses, etc) to hide behind while you use a long bow to kill his horse. Long bow is...

    red is blue ?

    Yes, currently the red flag is always hidden. Doesnt matter how many murder counts you have your flag always stays blue. The guards respond to faction standing, not the total murder counts. so when your reputation gets too low with Teindremic (for example) you can no longer enter Tindremic...

    archer/mage

    Not sure if anyone has made a proper guide on building an arcane archer. Its a wheelchair mage build with full MA skills, ecumenical and either Necro/risen pets or beast mastery/creature control ( depending on which pets you want). Ive even seen one guy with both. Its usually either a bony...
