Good to see you back magus. A youtube without you is snoozetube. That being said, multiplayer does work on rpgs and secret of mana is a great example. The tales series in my opinion is one of the best games for having multiple players. The only MMORPG i find fun to play is Phantasy star universe, pretty fast pace and hectic.

Actually, I don’t visit any of the forums.
I’m sorta of a loner when it comes to the game.

One of the great things on MMO’s in my opinion are the fact that you can set your OWN goals.

Even though I love rpg’s I have never played an online rpg.
I guess I’ll find out how it is when White Knight Chronicles comes out.

i need to try the multiplayer/online part of Neverwinter Nights it sounds like one huge DnD game which would be kickass. I think one of the things that some of the MMOs out there forget about is that RPGs rely on the story the players go through. RPGs should tell a story where as MMOs tell the bare basics of the world players are in and let players RP, kill each other, raid or do whatever they want really.

Oh I have no problem with someone else seeing that as a goal and enjoying themselves along the way. I just mean that personally it’s hard to get into them the same way it seems to be hard for others.

Phantasy Star Online for the Dreamcast was the Best MMORPG game of all time compare to the others imo, BTW, welcome back Magus.

I think the term “goal” here is relative. While I’m not a huge supporter of MMO’s, I dont exactly have ill feelings towards them either. If a player considers tackling an end-game boss/raid and acquiring some of the games top equipment, I don’t think it’s fair to not consider this a “goal” solely because the credits don’t follow afterwards.

I think the .Hack Games are a good example of Multiplayer mode because you can invite other party members to participate.

Secret of Mana blew me away by storm the first time I played which was one of the first RPGs I’ve played to allow a 3 person multiplayer mode where you can connect the Hudson Soft 4-Player Multi adapter to play with 2 other buddies (which was the same adapter unit used for Super Bomberman)

I think Diablo and to a lesser extent the Tales series are the only RPGs that come to mind with good multiplayer that I’ve played.

It’s good to see another person out there who shares my view on most MMORPGs being level grinders with no real end goal to be achieved.

i dont know if this is an open question, but unless you already know how the game wraps up, i recommend finishing it off
