![]() ![]() “Back in my day” during my RF Online period, we would always end up staring at the strongest guild on the server after they had killed and looted the ‘Caliana Princess’. Not only does it give everyone an opportunity to kill a boss without having to wake up earlier than the strongest guild on the server, it also lessens the painful experience of kill stealing. ![]() Instanced dungeons are probably one of my staple features when choosing an MMORPG. Instanced Dungeons: Look! It’s Baphomet- *cleaving sound* - Oh, nevermind. A bit imbalanced at some point, but who in the MMO world can resist extra gold, exp, and PVP points?Ħ). Since lowbie players would rather join a high guild with tons of perks than contribute to a low level group with low bonuses, many guilds have disbanded to join veteran groups. The downside however, is the difficulty being faced by low level guilds. Some of these features include faster experience and speed boosts, making it a breeze for new players to catch up. Once a guild levels up, more perks become available to its members. Aside from questing and grinding for experience and gear, players also earn Guild exp after completing quests and killing monsters that contributes to a big Guild experience bar. The guild perk system present in World of Warcraft’s Calaclysm expansion is a grand example of how guild perks should be done. I’m not really sure who thought of this first, but I really felt the need to work and play harder after the guild perk system was implemented. Guild Perks: Join us! You’ll level faster. Guild Wars did a fine job at implementing their “Polymock” minigame, which sort of acts like a Pokemon versus game where players can use and duel monsters to their heart’s content.ħ). Even though MMOs are highly addictive and very fun to play, it always pays to have something else to do aside from questing and grinding. Mini games are not really needed, but people are not always in the mood to level their characters. Mini Games: Tired of grinding? How about some Plants vs Zombies? It is not that hard to create a screenshot feature!Ĩ). ![]() It also makes it a lot harder to review these games (hint, hint, game publishers). A player having to press ‘Prt Scr’ and ‘ctrl-V’ every time something comes up makes taking a ‘screenie’ oh so hard. Note that not all games have screenshots buttons, and it’s always such a pain to click Ms Paint every time you need it. When playing your favorite MMO, nothing beats the nostalgic feeling of having to save a screenshot of your defining moments and browsing through them as you go further. A Friggin Screenshot Button: Screenshot or it didn’t happen. This feature can also make it easier for tanks and healers alike, allowing them to keep track of the action at a more convenient level.ĩ). Aside from being able to allocate skills and various stances, players can also add recording tools such as Recount to monitor their damage (as proof of how bad they are). World of Warcraft is perhaps the best example for customizable UIs. It always helps to have perfectly customized interface as it encourages you to not only play further, but also play better. Being able to customize the UI is a big factor for me, especially since most of the MMO interfaces today are so generic. Aside from being pleasing to the eyes, this part of the game also helps the player locate skills and menu bars depending on how they want it. UIs (User Interface) play a big role in MMO gaming. Enjoy!ġ0).Customizable UI: Damn this button! Y SO FAR AWAY?! Here is Part 1 of what I think every MMO should have (in order of importance). Yes, MMOs must have their own defining features, but there’s always one particular trait that stands out, making you wish every MMOs should have it.
