Thinking about starting to play this. Never played an MMORPG before. It all looks confusing, with the lingo you all use and whatnot. I did play Asheron's Call for like 5 min back in the day.
Few questions, I read the first few pages of this thread but:
So basically, in simplest terms, it's like Fable, in a way. Not that Fable was all that good but just style and stuff?
There are quests and whatnot, but you don't have to do them if you don't want, you can just walk around towns and stuff?
Plus there's a ton of other people playing with you. So you can randomly ask someone if they want to go kill some monsters or whatever? Or are there certain rules to teaming up with people? Or say, if you're alone and end up being outnumbered and one of your friends you know is online playing (of which I have none that play this but anyway), but they are a far distance from you, can you contact them and ask them to come help you out?
The way you all talk about it makes it sound real fun but I dunno. Sounds confusing to me, with all the different species and characters.
I've looked for a free trial version but can't find one anywhere, even the official site. if there is a trial at all. I'm prolly blind. I'd like to test it out first. EDIT: Just read on another site there is a 14 day trial in the Sept PC Gamer.
I guess I'll have to buy that.
If anyone can answer any of this, I'd greatly appreciate it. I need a new game to play when I tire of MVP.
