I've not been playing Chronicles for long, but I did play euro (enjoyed it till it got reamed with the duplicates etc.) and one other (was so ****, I can't even remember it's name) so I suppose my opinion doesn't really count when there are a lot of longer
standing members who post here but here's my tuppenceworth.
Likes:
1. Not everyone has time to be on 24/7 so I think the way that the game is set up now makes it's possible to level reasonably quickly alone and there is enough to keep me interested.
2. A lot of nice players in-game (there are some dicks as-well ), but the majority actually assist you with information without making you look a total noob/tool.
3. I like the success rate/fail rate in gemming, sometimes I win sometimes I lose, but that's life, it's a gamble so hey ho!.
4. Its a 10+ year old game but I still enjoy playing it, Dx9 FTW, I've got crossfired 7970's and it doesn't make a blind bit of difference if someone is playing on a laptop, I'm no faster than them in Legend of Mir
Dislikes:
1. When you are quite new to the game, the gold you make is important, you have just smashed another 2-4 Knight Bracelet gemming and you need to get to another location to make some money, even the cost of the teleporter can screw you up big style.
2. As a warrior you are full contact all the time and the durability rate of warrior items is dire, you tune up a power ring to dc8 and it's shagged in a couple of days, well expensive.
3. I don't know what others might think but there appear to be minimaps missing in game, I don't know if that is by design.
4. I've twatted the guards in Bichon wall safe zone twice totally by accident, end up on my arse, and like a "flea round shite" all the alleged AFK peeps descend on your stuff and it's gone: Like a plague of locusts. Could you not move the guards back a few squares?
5. Uncertainty is the major one. I spent a fair bit of money supporting EuroMir then they go down the tubes and everything I worked for: Gone!. I would like to support Chronicles financially ( by monthly donation thingy) but I'm in all honesty scared to do that as I don't know
if it will be here tomorrow. If you know what I mean.
I know I stated above "it's a gamble" but there is more at stake with supporting it monthly. I know there is no way you can give a definitive, "Hell yes, we will be here whatever", but I have spoken to some new players, like me, who would be happy to support Chronicles
if they had some kind of guarantee that they would not get shafted.
Well that's my bit over. (please take this the way it was written, it's not a personal attack, it's my observations.)
snot :cheerful:
