Started playing RF Online the other day, there’s a 10 day trial available on their page so I thought I’d give it a go. Overall, it’s a fairly enjoyable experience. There’s still the levelling grind, but it’s much less so than MS, and there’s quite a few quests and things to help break it up.

What’s most interesting to me is the fact that the game takes place in the future. There are your typical warriors in the game as well, but you can also shoot guns or plasma bows and the like. And there’s even a big robot class. It’s really different and quite fun. Too bad it costs to play. read more

What’s the appeal with WoW? I tried giving it a go for a few days and it was interesting, but I don’t feel any humongous draw. I’m not immune to getting hooked on a game or MMO, but this one just didn’t do it for me. So I’m curious what about this game has hooked so many people?

I was hooked on MS from the first few times I played it, I spent ages training my character, pushing ahead to get to my goals. First it was level 30, then 50, then 70, then 90. Eventually, I just got bored of the levelling. I had to take a break.

I decided to give World of Warcraft a chance. It was the top-rated MMORPG in the world, surely there was something good about it? While I can’t say I got hooked like the millions of other players who spend an average of 22 hours a week on the game, I did find it engaging. read more
