Hope Gary would add some of his opinions to my brief ones.
1)Inventory is a pain in the ass with little space and time-consuming
movement period compared to UO.
>> Aye, Real Pain. But there are short cuts I think. The one that I
accdentially found is that when picking up stuff from ur body, by rite
clicking on the item, it will pop into ur item slots instead of having to
left click on it and drag it to the item slots. But this of course wouldn't
auto equipe ur armors/weapons. U still need to click and drop it into ur
char. Still exploring the game.
2)First person view is the main view but able to switch to ass-cam <tomb
raider> for the more professional players' choice. There are a total of 5
different views if I'm right.
>> As for the view, I usually use the first person view (al Quake). I don't
play Quake though. I would get motion sickness in 5mins. Anyway, I do use
the other view type, the top down view. There are bonus to hit and damage
if u attack from behind (at least that's what I heard from a player. And I
do find that I hit more often and damage higher sometimes).
3)Hunting in groups are encouraged due to trains and tough mobs with
splendid loots.
>> For EQ it's group or die. Within a group, u need some1 to heal and cure,
some1 to provide firepower support and tanks to take hits from the
monsters. It's all about co-operating to survive and gain from the hunts.
4)Minotour Axes are like the best non-magic weapon in the game. Price range
from 5pp-10pp.
>> No idea on this one. I'm a Monk. I'm my weapon and armor itself.
5)If you love interaction, then this is the game. Meridian 59 is also
recommended.
>> Aye, player interaction is really important in the game
6)One hour in real life is like 1 whole day in EverQuest <morning til night>
>> Yeah, and I hate that. You can hardly see at nite if u're human or don't
have any lightsource with u.
7)Face choices variety needs a HUGE update.
>> Well, generating 3ds are quite space and memory consuming...
8)Almost bug-free....now now, lets not talk about UO. <grins>
>> heheh
9)Marcoing is still present but MUCH MUCH SO MUCH MUCH SO MUCH more less
effective.
>> Aye, actually what marcoing?? That game u bascially use hotkeys to play
the game. And better brush up on the typing skills. U'll want to type very
fast in certain situation. Heheh.
10)Mules are like useless.
>> Aye, u need to level up if u want to have trade skills eg smithing 'cos
there's skill points limit u can attain for a lvl.
11)If your Lawyer or your Boss is drowning, would you choose going to the
movies or to StarBucks? <drafted>
>> If Starwars in being screen then, it's Starwars!!!
Cheers,
Wilson
