Talesrunner(FAIL too many errors ima delete now.)

None.
None.
None.
Was recently playing Warhammer. It sucked. Waiting for x-pack to jump back on WoW.
Wonderland is ok for now. its like Golden Sun or a 2d rpg/adventure game with Final Fantasy battle scenes
If you like Final Fantasy-esque fights, try Atlantica. It’s one of those Korean grind style MMO’s but the fights are just like Final Fantasy, except they’re not random.
I really enjoyed Tabula Rasa, but not enough to justify paying for it. If it ever became free, I’d be all over it.
Other than Lineage, nobody has really been successful in making private servers for NCSoft games. Kinda sucks. I liked CoH/CoV, too.
lol. Yeah. I played up a couple level 49 characters. Never actually hit 50. I quit before I got to it. WoW open beta came out and I was instantly hooked.
I play EVE online.
I play FegMMO
I play WoW.

WoW is boring, all you do is spend DAYS grinding and only get 1 or 2 levels after you reach around level 17…the WoW Private server I played on was Blizzlike (aka normal exp/drop rates)
I got bored after it took me about 3 days killing those things around those 2 mines nearest Stormwind to get to level 20 from 19.

That’s the problem, right there. Private servers NEVER do justice to the real thing. Quests are broken, classes are broken and false content is added.
You can’t even compare them.
If the server was mostly bug-free, then there’s no reason you should have been grinding, short of just refusing to do them.
That’s another problem. The progression chain of quests forces you to enter contested areas. On official WoW, you have the option of being forced to flag for PvP while in those zones, based on the server you pick.
Again, this is another problem with private servers. Sometimes, you don’t have a choice in the matter. A lot of private servers prefer to be PvP servers.
You still can’t compare them.
I diss on all WoW private servers. The only private servers I condone are Graal and Ragnarok Online private servers.
Graal: Because I won’t pay for a game that’s constructed and run by the players.
Ragnarok: Don’t like the experience rates of the official servers.
If you play WoW private servers because you like them, be my guest. But don’t say WoW is boring based on private servers, alone.
Who the hell pays $30.00 a month for one account? All of the current 3d games are $12.95 to 14.99 a month and less if you pay for multiple months at once.
With EVE online I could play for free by grinding money and selling it to other players for in game time. I don’t though because I would rather keep my in game money and just pay the $12.95.
(With EVE you’re allowed to buy time cards and sell them for in game money and it’s sanctioned by CCP which are the makers of the game.)
Saying that a game sucks because you played it on a private server is like saying Super Mario World on the Nintendo 64 sucks because you played Super Mario Brothers on the original Nintendo.
Not to mention they rarely have enough people on to make it interesting.

try the private server and see for yourself whether its good or not… I play private servers because I dont see a point in paying $30 a month to play a game…that would be like rebuying half-life 2 every month from walmart.
I tried Ragnarok once…on every server there was like 200 people IDLE in most of the towns in merchant mode…thats why I dont play many MMORPG’s anymore…too many idlers selling overpriced bullshit…hell I made like 5 million selling n00b drops (things the first few monsters drop) on Knight Online in about 1 day.
even on Eudemons, people idling for no reason in main part of the first town.
what is with people and IDLING? do they get some kinda reward for having a high onlinetime?

In times when I couldn’t afford the game, in between subscriptions, I did play private servers. And I have a lot of experience with them; I ran my own using Ascent and Mangos. And WoW’s subscription fee is $15.
Without the paying customers, you private server players don’t have a game to play on. No expansions, no updates, no fixes and extremely high latencies. You should be thanking us 11 million players for paying Blizzard to provide you with the game that you’re ripping off. Otherwise, you’d still be playing 1.0.4 with all its bugs and glitches.
As for Ragnarok, that was a class, not a mode. Players chose that skill to set up shop. And think about it. How do you expect to run a store if it’s only open for 10 minutes a day, at random intervals? They leave their shops open for more chances for people to see their inventory. Why do you think places like Walmart stay open 24/7? Because that’s a 24/7 opportunity to sell their products.
As for people randomly idling, that’s their prerogative. Some people just feel like staying logged in when they leave or go to sleep. Whatever floats their boat, in my opinion.
