the coolest looking, most interesting sounding MMORPG i've ever read about (besides Star Wars).

what has everyone else heard about this?

I play that one....as well...no skills no specials...nothing but you, and your rifle...

I thnk I was the first guy to tow an 88.....

Gawd, Ill never forget that...I was loved from that moment on...

I had 88 setup , and then the Chars started rolling in...and BAM! BAMM!!!! BAMMM!! one after the other, the chars were lit up...

I still play on occasion....game got all wierd when they did a revamp ....

the hell is up with everyone and thier revamps?

Anyway...when you do see me on...Ill be the lil bastage hiding someplace pwning EI from 500-600 meters away with my K98...

gimme my thread back! *yoink*

anyway... i wanna know what you people have heard about Roma Victor. cause from what i read about the features... it sounds amazing.

some of the features i thought were cool:
- your character can learn and forget skills. for instance, if you don't practice your archery, you get bad at it.

- they've created some sort of mix between "twitch based" and "turn based" combat. so it's not like the math wiz who figured out the perfect template through use of combat number formulas will always win.

- they have a realistic open PvP system similar to EVE Online, where you have varying levels of safety zones.

- one game world. but since it takes a relatively long time to travel, smaller communities will develop. so you can't just travel from London to Rome and back again in the blink of an eye.


this game doesn't sound like it will be easy. but it sound like what an MMORPG is supposed to be like. why play this type of game if you're not looking for a challenge?

Slightly off topic, but since you mentioned the K98. I just found out the bayonet I own is from a K98. Now to find a K98 to put it on.

one of these days Im gonna buy one...yet I dont think it will be too healthy for my damn liberal neighbors

I love the K98.....oh boy, yessir talk about power and accuracy...

It sounds much too "realistic" and just plain good to be successful.

EDIT: A lot of the features sound like those extremely cool early SWG documents, and half of that stuff was scrapped for what we're seeing today...

The problem with realistic games...is just that.

they are too realistic, and people take out books, and papers, manuals, and artifacts to prove how messed up a weapon/item in the game is...then it starts a huge flame war, and the devs start nerfing, people start crying...

thats what happens.....

"The short bow only had a range of 100 meters! and I got hit from 110!!! Fix it!!"

i know what you're saying. but i have a feeling that there's more of a market for "realistic" and "good" than one might imagine...

i like their ideas about a donations. and that they realize Players who care about the game world will contribute to it, while Players who only want to "pwnz0rz" everything only take away from it.

i'm not fully sure i read everything about the donation system though... i got the feeling that you pay real money to experience more in the game? sorta like that other game... what's it called?

i dunno, the dev team there seems pretty straight forward. they've stated that the game won't be 100% historically accurate for the sake of balanced gameplay.

and i don't see this game attracting many "1337z0rz j3d3y3" kiddies, who do much of the complaining in MMORPGs.
