what is the point of this game
well this is my first mmorpg i have played and all i can say is that it feels like a never ending pointless cycle of build and attack. i cant see how people keep at it for more than 6 months. if it didnt take half a million years to build things i would have been bored ****less after 1 month.
also why do people attack other players, there is not quest to do so, you get no medals, and there is nothing that you get that you cannot get from an npc. it really just makes you out to be a mean spirited ****wit.
i was on the verge of quiting, and when the mother****ers from dragon decided to take everything i had, it pretty much fast tracked it all. yeah i know i could have teleported out, or abandoned my little cities and kept my main one, but for what, to start all over again. it wasnt pleasant the first time for me to want to repeat it.
fwiw, i feel the game would have a longer life if you couldnt attack other players. i feel that the developers underestimated how disheartening it is to have what took you weeks and months to build to be taken away by in most cases nothing more than thugs and bullies. you already have npcs as enemies. you could have had quests targetting them - take an npc at location x,y; take down an npc run by lord xxx; have npcs form alliances, so that you have to also to take them on; have a npc tyranny come along and pick on the big players, at least it will keep them from beating up the little ones.
well thats my rant.
