MMORPG requirements

A lot of new MMORPGs that are coming out make it hard to keep up for some people in terms of their system performance. There are some MMORPGs out there that need proper gaming computers in order to run them. And as time passes the games require higher system requirements. Eventually this leads to people needing to buy new PCs as their old ones cant keep up. For example a computer from about 8 years ago would either not be able to run most MMORPGs or it would lag a lot on most of them making some of them even unplayable due to the extent of the lag.

Misleading World of Lordcraft Advertisements

First it was Evony and now its World of Lordcraft, except World of Lordcraft takes it to the next level by showing half naked girls and classing itself as an 18+ game. Also the name World of Lordcraft can be seen as a rip off from World of Warcraft. I guess they are not breaking any rules (somehow) but they are clearly misleading people with ads such as these:

I hope this wont set a trend for future MMORPGs to mislead it's audience in this way.

Aika PVP review

Aika is said to hold the future of PVP MMORPGs. It is said it is capable of supporting pvp battles of as many players as 1,000 vs 1,000. I must admit i don't think any other MMORPG is capable of that, not even World of Watcraft which i have played for quite a while and have been in many city raids and most i have seen was 100+ people. Aika is an MMORPG owned by Gpotato which are makers of Flyff (also a very good MMORPG :P). Aika is fairly new as it only came out last year and it seems to be getting good reviews. But just because it is capable of supporting possibly the largest pvp scale battles doesn't necessarily mean it has the best PVP system, in my opinion nothing will beat EVE online in terms of PVP :).

Maplestory Too much grinding

I played the game a while ago and I just can't understand how people can play that game and not get bored of it, i think i got to level 20 before i quit. And the highest level is lvl 200 or so, i quit at 20 because after around level 20 there is barely any quests to do so all you do is just grind non stop. Maple story isn't as popular as it used to be but it's still pretty popular and has a large and loyal player base. It is a big surprise to me how big it got and the amount of MMOs that decided to copy Maplestory by making pretty much clone versions of Maplestory. Maplestory does have a lot of content though such as the large amount of dungeons and bosses as well as classes and skills. The graphics aren't exactly the best in the world but the gameplay is easy, fun and simple.

Jagex games similar to Runescape

Until recently i didn't realise how many games Jagex (makers of runescape) had released besides runescape. It turns out they heave dozens of browser games all of which aren't too popular which would explain why i havent found out about them until now. A lot of them look similar to runescape and there are new games being released by Jagex all the time. Some of which are yet to be released and others that are now in closed beta. Check out some of the games at http://www.jagex.com/ For the list of Jagex games.
