so um Sasami quits RO (again)? well it sucks anyway I haven't been there for a long while. Try some other MMORPGs betas:
www.shininglore.com - best I'v seen.. really sets the standers.
www.pristontale.com - another good one... some of the system needs to be better, but I say they are better then Gravity.
Enjoy.
PS: quitting is the answer, If everyone quits Gravity gets no MONEY in the end.

well.. from a personal business (at least I have a business that I help run) standpoint. The customer satisfaction is very important and should be consider when pushing a new product. I personally think Gravity is doing well catering their home customer, Korea, and Japan. There is a large market for "cute" RPG style. Look at the current trend of MMORPG in the current U.S. market.. most are "hack and slash" with little cuteness. RO have a lot of cuteness and may cater to a different crowd in the U.S. Korea and Japan (especially Japan where most of the anime comes from) live in that type of setting.. thus it would be more benificial for Gravity to "cater" to those market. They are testing the waters in the U.S. and check out the player base... but may not be "serious" in their customer satisfaction in the English beta (since it is not just U.S.) in most business you would want to make sure your home market is stable before going overseas

i heard dungeon seige is pretty fun...

Incorrect.
Everyone, and I DO mean everyone could quit the beta and Gravity would STILL make money.
Remember and always remember that betatests are not for anyone's enjoyment, but simply for the purpose of testing code further than in lab testing and to iron out bugs. Additionally it can be used to make upgrades to engines, rethink designs or add new art. Frankly it doesn't matter what any of the betatesters think of how the betatesting PROCESS went, because the final game will always be in some ways different.
When brought to market, it will still attract hordes and hordes of people who have either NOT heard about it, or just see it on the shelf and would like to try it. |

Dungeon Siege? ewww, that game is a rip-off Diablo 2. A horrible one. I was watching my older brother play it, it was like a slow paced Diablo 2, except without all the crowd killing stuff. You just sit there with your sword or bow or whatever, fire, slash, fire. Boring. Plus I already see hacks for it, and it looks like its hackable like Diablo 1. Well, that's just my opinion. Dont let my opinion stop you from buying a copy  |

well kup0, i'm probably not going to play it... some of my friends beat it already, so if it was that easy, then it's not worth it... games like Max Payne that take only 10 hours to beat don't give me enough... now i wanna get the Unreal Tournament demo my friend has... insane grafx... i could see each individual blade of leaves on the plants... the floors were filled with twigs and dead grass... the bots had pretty good AI... i must get...
*ignore this whining unless you're bored*
::begin rant::
p.s. next few days until monday, i won't be on here as much... since i'm back on AOL 56k (yuck²). i can't wait to get my broadband... so no RO for me for awhile...
my feet are dirty, calloused, and hurt... i ran from my car to the third floor at least 20 times... i ran non-stop for 3 hours to move my stuff... made 3 car trips home (2 today) my knees and body ache... i didn't get a chance to shower tonite.. i checked out 1.5 hours after my checkout time... i broke a ceramic bobbing head panda, which was a gift... so yea... today was hectic... i'm praying i didn't leave any cables or cd's in the room... i skipped dinner... and i have work tomorrow... i miss my suitemates... be thankful you are not me... good nite

bah, dont knock till you try it fool 
ive play'd it lots, and its acctually FASTER then D2, its also still got crowd stuff (at the middle to high end, not as much at the begining, but it gets there pretty quick), there are hacks yes, but thats because it MODDABLE, and i mean COMPLETLY moddable, and this doesnt matter, because YOU CAN KICK PEOPLE FROM YOUR GAMES, unlike Diablo 1, and because of this, hacking is NOT a problem, ive been playing it for over a month and i only came accross a hack once, i simply left there game and found another one, no problem at all
dont listen to him, dungeon siege is good, and deffinatly betetr then D2, its a totaly different system, so its NOT a rip-off, ok so its hack and slashey like D2 is, but the system works completly differently, and the game is just better, if you want a deep involving storyline, dont get dungeon siege, if you want fast action gameplay, get it , its fun
EDIT: and daishi, it doesnt matter that they completed it already, D2 was completed in DAYS, but people still play'd it for the multiplayer, so think of that, then add in the fact that dungeon siege is also moddable (mods have already started and the modding kit is only in beta! (they havnt quite finished it yet, but it will all be complete soon ))

I could not get into Dungeon Seige at all. Quite frankly I did not like having to control more than 1 person at a time if my party was to be of any use. I also enjoyed having direct control of what stats I added to, such as in Diablo. Well you may still have "control", but if I want to up my INT I'd rather not have to cast 5 million spells. Dungeon Seige made being a hybrid class a little bit more difficult than I liked. Honestly it is do able, but I did not like switching between Magic (Choas/Nature) and Melee every 5 seconds to ensure that they were being kept near even.

I wish I didn't get Dungeon Siege, it's a cool game and all. I just didn't have time to get in to it... lacks the mood... played 4 days, and a lvl 57 char.
and it's on the shleft ever since.

why not make a website...most everyone is either too lazy or to busy, or have already done that.
Find annother game to beta, Star Wars Galaxies comes to mind, but everyone is obbsessed with RO for better or worse for the moment.
Program, too much time to learn and too long to make anything interesting or extremely useful.
Hack roms, Less time than making your own game, and results are immideate hence why I took to it after quiting the game.
Join the military, I promice life will not be boring for a little while...for better or worse heh. |

if u like, u can talk about the other games... maybe someone here who's played it can talk about it... i don't know if anyone here has played beta2, since it's closed korean...
and makoto, i guess i'll try dungeon seige later... especially if it's faster paced than d2... lol, i'm tempted to play d1 all over again... but i'll probably dupe from the beginning again... mmm... windforce...godly plate of sorcery... plentiful staff of apocalypse... rings of zodiac... i think imma go play d1 now until i get my cable tomorrow, lol. look what you started =Þ

| Dungeon siege isn't bad... it's just really easy to hack/mod/cheat. It also takes a while and is an ultimately D2 clone. It got boring after a while though and doesn't have enough support for internet play. |

not enough support?! O.o
its got a whole mod community
they just havent finished the finishing touches to the full editor yet, heh
and hack/mod/cheating isnt a problem, its ment to be like that (so you can mod it easyily ) and you can kick people from games, so internet isnt ever a problem |
