Did you get level 112 or higher in 12sky2? The grind doesn't start until then and it gets ugly fast after that.

Agreed. That being said, i think it's pretty easy to see if the grind is worth the effort or not in most games. To me i deicide if a game is worth it or not by asking myself these 4 basic questions. I don't actually ask myself that, but it's my rules concerning mmo's.

1-Is the grind going to give me access to more features and stuff to do as i level?

2-Is the grind atleast somewhat entertaining?


3-Once the character is high level, do i get to the meat of the game?(PVP/PVE)


4-Most importantly was it worth investing x hours into?(Thats the most important one.)


If the answer is yes to the first 2 questions, i will atleast try the game. 3 and 4 will be different for everybody on every game.


The problem is that most mmo's on the market aren't even worth going to question 3 and 4. So yes, i did, do and will play mmo's. But to be honest i tried most of the mmo's out there, and there are only 3 i can say i really played.

Anyway, i'm not too harsh on games, i give anything a try, not only mmo's, even if a game gets a not so good review, i will give it a chance, but when i game is garbage, i won't force myself to play it. Most mmo's are garbage and i simply don't give them leniency because they are mmo's.

My 2 cents.

grind is an essential part of free mmos. Devs thinks this will make more people join and in some cases, they do. This not only keeps people to play but also it opens doors for cash shop sales. What they dont realize is that too much grind can drive away people from playing it. so why are there still people playing these grind infested camel nut licking clones and reskins? Its quite simple, i have no freakin idea. its not like they fufill in any other aspects of the game.. i have yet to see a unique free to play game


take this wonder king, la tale and maple story for example... they are basically reskins. One may look cooler than the next in your eyes, but its basically the same grind, same type of quests given and so on and this isnt only directed at these games i listed.

I mean, I bet we are all ****in patiently waiting for a unique sidescroller like that game TRINE in an MMO form.
