I had been a lurker in this forum for years but now I decided to say some two cents.
I'm super uber happy Sacred is not an MMO.
But my reasoning for not wanting it would be as such.
1). I played various RPGs some of the MMO type and my latest one was DC's DCU Online.
I loved it every bit of that game was so super and I created a char I liked the way I wanted. But unbeknownst to me, I had no idea what I was getting into! I quit playing it! Why?
I hate it it I had to force my Blue Jayce into a class specific char to play with others! Every update nerfed my girl into not being able to do the simple regular missions buy my self. I was forced to get help, revamp powers, my character died and I never was the same. Yeah I struggled and found bits of fun here and there. But all in all I lost the war. That ladies and gentlemen killed all the fun out of it for me.
There are also many things to complain, I hated so many updates, why?! Always merging powers? Sure not fair in pvp ok I understand, but having the nerf affect the campaign? Really?! I understand the basic principle, multiplayer, then why offer single player?
Lots to do but unable to achieve it?
I'm dumb founded right now I can't think straight so sad. But oh well. I love sacred cause I have freedom albeit limited but in ah be freedom. No limit on how many different possibilities to play with. I downloaded sacred 1 & underworld & 2 to my PC I have dragon origins 1&2 and various other RPGs. I even have old schools. Sorry for my ranting and punctuation and what not. I. Currently making my own seraphim built with what I like and such. Thanks you all for all the wonderful post I' very read over the years and builds. I have had a hard time choosing builds that I have two account both my PS3's that I have built almost all of them! I couldn't help myself plus some of my own builds.
