Anyone had played it before?

http://www.archlordgame.com

It's F2P, and some my guildmates that quited SRO said that they're going to play this game... But I'm not sure if it's that good or bad.

Downloading atm...

So anyone had played this before? or planning on playing this?

worth of stuff..

I remember reading somewhere in their site that it said you have to buy it first? then it will be f2p.

Did that change?

changed

you get free cd key at the download now

little info: there is 2 servers open, one to be opened.
no lag, no verification, almost no bots, no goldsellers, friendly high levels,
nice graphics. pity the game isnt that exciting for the rest..

looks face paced and nice skills animations.

how's the grind? what's the lvling system?

cin · Post by **cin** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 8:16 am

regular leveling.. i think highest level is 90 or something.. but not sure

stats are distributed standard. you cant distribute any str or int yourself. you
can get more stat points by getting equipment with extra stat points.

you get 1 skill point per level and you can get skills at the trainer for your class.
possibility to reset your skills once.

grind is allright. does get a bit boring for the leveling isnt super fast.
a lvl 76 friend of mine got to 76 in about 1,5 months. thats if you know how
to grind, where to grind and have money to sponsor a char like that

TOloseGT · Post by **TOloseGT** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 8:18 am

so there are classes?

solo or party lvling, that's what i meant.

cin · Post by **cin** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 8:22 am

oh. both. solo & party. the more party members can get you more hp/mp.
i think with a setting it gives you more xp aswell, but i havent really tried that.
high levels take noobs in party for cheerleading; they seem to get more xp
with us in the team, and we get the money from autoloot settings

got me
600k in a night

n yeah there are classes.

orc ~ sorcerer, berserker, hunter
human ~ mage, knight, hunter
moon elf ~ mage, hunter

^ think it was like that.. oO

check site for more info

all 3 races start in a different town, far from eachother. so if yall plan to play
together much n dont want to wait on the highest level mobs, then make
sure u in same server n are same race

all look fat in the end <_>

Sounds pretty nice cin.

Arrghh... MMO Site won't let me DL the client... sucks... I guess... I'll try the torrent option.

cin · Post by **cin** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 8:34 am

its 1.45gb i think. i downloaded it through torrend in about 45 minutes

n yea its a fun game, but be sure to get friends to play it with, cause its
boring when you're on your own..

coffee time now guys. any questions, can always pm me.

coolest about game: the more same gems you put in, the more glow of that
element you get.. like big red glowy staff when u have 5 firegems in it

Neh, just went to some youtube clips, graphics still incomparable with SRO and it looks like Last Chaos.

Fool, You can't JUDGE it's graphics via YouTube.....

it really is un comparable to SRO...

Neh, you can't judge the screenshots at their website too, because they had tried their best to render the photos. IMO, SRO still leading any other F2P. If I looking for that kind of graphics I would rather go for 2Moons even nicer.

Well just my thoughts, everyone has own opinion.

And there's plenty of instances where I've had to restart my PC because of lockups while trying to exit or do basic in-game tasks. Not to mention some other obvious bugs like infinitely looping sound that's only supposed to play once, or getting stuck on an obstacle without realizing it because the screen shows you 10 feet away from it.

i did the CB n OB
then it went p2p with tons of bugs. we warned em about it, they released anyway
then some months later it went b2p cause nobody was playin it
then, like 3 weeks ago, it finally went f2p, because probably still nobody was
playin it.

theres 2 servers opened n there is never lag n the towns arent completely filled
with peoples. go figure why its f2p now.. they told us it would be WoW's competition.
they failed ~ now its f2p

Makes me wonder if it is worth playing, but I'm downloading it as we speak. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

im good with SRO

I get sick when I start thinking about other RPGs and the time learning it and then I get lazy investing time into it when I already have a great account on SRO
