Few others.
Flyff: No other choice but Grinding and Grinding, though boring, you have to compete with AoE classes when you can't even touch their monsters, gg.
Aion Online: Preset Skills and Ability Points? Heck no..
Grand Fantasia: Idem ^
Silkroad: You'd think a game starts to bore someone when the heavy grinding appears, which is in the higher levels, but no; in Silkroad you start with that @lvl 14 or so.
Ether Saga Online: Good game, Amazing big maps, Really complete. Nothing kept my interest in the game; lame bosses, Only way to lvl is questing, and you run out of quests @ lvl 50 or so.
MU Online: Don't even think about it.
Deicide Online: This one was my initiation to MMoRPG games, at the beggining i thought it was cool and all. Now i look at it and think "what was i thinking?!". Good maps, poor graphics, poor customer support, not even sure if the company is still updating that game, slow as heck.
Eudemons Online: This game sucks, but i had a good laugh at it. You just make a mage and your first skill is a full map vacuum, so you just go running killing everything in your way.
Asda Online: Though the Soul mate system is original, everything else in the game sucks.
MapleStory: Addictive, to say the less. I've been trying to convince myself that this game is poor compared to others. Though many classes and a huge community (80% kids) i've found decent and mature people in it, leveling is fun at some point but after the greatest levels, it becomes a chore. As previously stated, the difference between spending money and not spending is overwhelming, you can't compete with someone who spends over $400 a month, don't even bother.
Luna Online: Pretty much Flyff but... midget characters this time.
i must say cabal looks pretty awesome too - with those combos and epic looking gear...graphics are not top notch (or at least didn't look it in the videos) but it looks quite good for a free to play game too...so i'll be trying that one out as well.
i just hope i find something that i can enjoy without spending hundreds of hours to do simple things. i like being able to jump on and accomplish a few things within a couple of hours, instead of spending all day trying to do one quest or something....i can't stand such slow gameplay but i don't want everything given to me. its hard to find the pace of gameplay i like
Cabal quests get repetitive after the first 10 times you do them, and believe me you have LOTS of them to do. But, these quests give you, after many of them good money for a freshmen; That's something i've ever seen in MMoRPG's, they actually help you to start, maybe 100.000.000 alz won't get you the best equipment but you can get decent ones.
Mission dungeons are quite entertaining if done with a party, there are inside dungeon quests that takes some teamwork, or you can solo them.
When it comes to grind, it's quite fun, the flashy skills will keep one entertained plus trying to beat your own combo records.
Maps are a few and really small (i like big maps personally) and you won't be able to try a few until you reach certain lvl; to be honest, you'll be suck within 3 maps for 50 lvls.
What i like the most about this game? Two words: "Tierra Gloriosa". It's a nation war that lasts one hour of up to 75 vs 75 players, epic PvP's, but it's not just killing people but to control the most bases as possible. I never get bored in one of those.
Sorry for the lame english and hope this helps out!
