New kid on the block

Forgive the cheesy title. I prefer to be called LordPatty but I didn't know my nickname Bpatty as in BeefPatty was gonna show up.

Ahem

My only question is how satisfied everyone is with this game? Loads of fun? Grinding outweighs gameplay or vice-versa? Challenging or easy? Bah, feel free to enlighten me.

Last online game played was [removed]--nearly a year ago. Stopped at level 63 and resumed with a thing called LIFE (BLASPHEMY! I know, lol).

Last but not least...the game version's at 166. So its updating right now and although its pretty fast...something tells me it actually has to do 166 updates.

See y'all inside the game hopefully within the hour because its either that or my new game Heavenly Sword for PS3 (I know, I'm so late, huh?)

166 is the version your client is on. The current client is version 203.

I'll let someone else pick up the rest....lol.

203, huh? That's EVIL! Guess I gotta go to tech section or something like that. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, I'm on it. Thanks. Forums are pretty clean here and by that, I mean organized well. Looks like the mods are pretty active as well.

So, anyone knows the bot rate in-game? Out of control? So-so? Under control? I'm gonna take a look if they have any threads on well-known scams.

Bots? Hardly any.. And if there are some, most likely they won't interfere with you as they will go to places where nobody grinds to not be reported..

There are some scams out there with cheap items that look alike expensive items.. I don't have any threads to link you to but maybe somebody else does

Buyer beware! Always double check what you are going to buy from another player.

Here are a few:

Fake Wine Scam

Cat Shop Scams

GM Scammer Question

Anniversary Scams

That's about the gist of it b:victory Welcome to the community!

Thanks for the welcome. Another question on my mind. I'll be selecting a PVE server and I'd like to know the one that was created last( ergo, the one obviously with the least amount of players). Also, are there any distinctions between the PVP and PVE servers, such as one might have higher xp rate or drops or are they all the same?

P.S: bear faces for smilies, huh? >_>

Works for me, I guess... >_>

Also, please try not to post in threads that have been inactive for over a month. It helps us a lot b:surrender

Newest PvE server would be:Dreamweaver(PvE)
Newest PvP server would be: Harshlands(PvP)

The ONLY difference between the two types are:

PvP --> At level 30 you are free to be killed or kill others White Named
PvE --> You choose to enter the "kill"/"killing" mode

Therefore: Choice versus No-Choice

Here is a good quote about it:

PvE pro- You don't get intrerrupted while grinding.
- Lots of mellow people, role playing, in-game cuddle(yea, you can in this game if you're into that).
- Pk only if you feel like it.

PvE con- Kill steal heaven and you can't do anything about it.
- Can't pk whomever you want when you want.
- No world chat drama.
- Kinda boring.

PvP pro- Lots of drama, fun QQing and random fights.
- You can deal with kill stealers by killing them.
- More fun and skill for players do to the fact that you fight higher lvl players and ganks appearing from nowhere.
- You gain higher notoriety faster.

PvP cons- Get randomly killed by anyone whenever they feel like it.
- Higher lvls attacks and ganks happen often. Impossibility to do some quests due to pkers.
- You get dragged in to being Killed-on-Sight if one of your faction mates or friends bothers ppl.
- Generaly having to maintain a state of constant alert.

PvE kinda boring, huh? And mellow people too? As a cliche villain would say while bringing his fingers together:

Excellent.

For me, Pking's fun after you got the gaming experience. I learned the lesson harshly too. No sense in getting in going in a PVP server if I don't have the game basics mastered.

As for what eatwithspoons said, there's nothing funnier than someone coming up with an argument about something, only later to find that's its been discussed, like, six months ago.

Oh and the guy getting laughed at? That was me. >_>

Just remember too....you can make a character on two servers.

Test the waters. Getting to level 30 is fairly quick as long as you do all of your quests.
