RE: A megaweekend of Lost Ark ~ day one

There is no character creation at the start no ,I guess the way you customise the character is by the way you choose to acquire and develop the different skills. There isn't even the option to pick male or female which now that I think of it is kinda strange.

I need to dig deeper into it really.It seems right from the start the whole world is open to explore and go where you want but with the first 2 quests leading you in a certian story arc.

I'm only an hour into it but already discovered some interesting mechanics that I havent seen in other games...I had a fight with a wolf that killed me the first time I tried to fight it. On the second attempt I backed away after hitting it with a fireball and a staff attack, when I crossed a river it wouldn't follow to attack me, like it was scared of the deep running water...I thought that was pretty cool and I guess kind realistic.

I think the reason I never played the Gothic games is similar to yours , looks dated and clunky even if it does have alot of interesting things going for it.

Ive tried a few times to get into the original Everquest but could never get past the dated graphics there.

Everquest 2 on the other hand I have alot of time for, it was the first MMO I ever played way back in late 2004, I stayed with it for the first few expansions which was up until around 2010.Its still one of my favourite games of all time, I get hyped every time there's a new speciality server.

New servers are always interesting especially on launch day ,I have a hell of alot to say about EQ2 but I will save it for a post next week when I find out exactly what this Lore and Legend server has to offer.
