same question here, what kind of MMO , RPG or better MMORPG are you thinking of beeing the game you compare Sacred 3 with ?
As to your question about my bleak answer from before.
With what I was meaning, I don't want sacred 3 to be the one style of game that is purely an online game connected with everyone else who play together and do the quests and have weekly maintenance. But housekeeping of a game is a good thing, thats why there are patches.
I don't want sacred 3 to lose the solo play style that make the game so much fun for yourself, and have options to play online if you so wish, making that your connection to MMO style play.
So I just want to enjoy the solo life as I'm sick of the multiplayer side of it atm. Thats why we all liked diablo 2 so much I think.
