Pheonix Gamma Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 http://www.tricksteronline.com/ It just launched on friday, though it's been around in other languages (I've been praying for an International version) and I registered, though I never installed it on my laptop (it's all the way upstairs ;_ Anyways, it's gotten fairly popular, and looks really neat. Someone tell me if it's worth the harddrive space or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraysor Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I was tempted to try this until I noticed the size of the download. Normally wouldn't be a problem but at the moment I'm stuck on a 5gb limit. I'm tempted to just ignore it completely. Looks spiffy anyway...admittedly looks exactly the same as other KRPGs but I'm bored and need something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 http://www.tricksteronline.com/GameInfo/Character.aspx I believe this character choice thingy says everything that needs to be said... I shall post one of those that I have chosen at random. Type of Character CAT Cat Job and Type Model, Charm Type Appearance A female character who enjoys wearing revealing outfits. She is full of self-confidence and knows how beautiful she looks. Reason for coming to Caballa Island A rising star model who has won a couple of beauty contests. She has been cast to play the leading role in an upcoming blockbuster “Cleopatra.” She comes to the island to make money to purchase ravish and expensive costumes for her movie. Honestly, these Korean MMORPGs are all the bloody same... just another freakin doll house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I thought the racoon guy looked kinda pimp too. If I try it, I'm totally the raccoon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 If you try it, enjoy your mildly furry flavored Korean mass-produced MMO. Guranteed to taste only slightly different from original flavor. I'll give you one guess as to what game is original flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I'm thinking either SurP or RO, both of which I enjoyed. Still, DW, you can't really bash a game till ya try it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I'm not going to slang RO, as I enjoyed it too, but jeez... Korean MMORPGs are sooooooooooooooo common these days. And they are all exactly the same. EDIT: hur hur.. wrong to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I'm the kinda guy who gets excited just by looking at art. I don't like most PC games at stores cause they're all "UURG REALISM" so I get happy when I see neat little anime or whatever for a game. I know it's shallow, but I've gotten to the point where I can actually judge a game, manga, movie, etc, just by it's cover or what have you. I dunno, it's wierd. I've prooven myself wrong a few times, though (I love DDR, though I thought I was too cool for it back in the day) so I'm not TOO narrow minded >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I know you probably know this already, but there is not an ounce of remarkability to the art showcased on that site. It's the standard Korean RPG mass-produced webpage art. Hell, the web page itself looks just like every other KMMORPG webpage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 yea...but I still like it. Steamboat Willie isn't remarkable by today's standards, but it roffles my waffles everytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraysor Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I only like Steamboat Willie because it was the inspiration for a level on an old Mickey Mouse game I had on the Genesis...can't remember the name, but it was awesome. Mickey Mania or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 yea...but I still like it. Steamboat Willie isn't remarkable by today's standards, but it roffles my waffles everytime Steamboat Willie was remarkable for the period it was done in. The artwork for this is not remarkable for the period of time it was done in. Poor Analogy. EDIT: typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I mean, I watch it today and I love it. I dunno. I can't think of a good analogy. Art doesn;t have to be cutting edge for me to like it (though, I'll contradict myself and say I tend to be picky about what I like) If I see a manga with a neat cover, I'll open it and look at the art on the pages. If it looks nice, I'll usually buy it. Eraysor, don't forget the KH2 world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraysor Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 ...there's a Steamboat Willie world in KH2? Why is this game not out in Europe yet >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 ...there's a Steamboat Willie world in KH2?Why is this game not out in Europe yet >_< That's odd...compain to Squenix. But yea, the Steamboat Willie world ownz, but it's too short. Still awesome, though. They totally had the effects and everything (the projector sounds, the cowbell when people shake hands or something, etc ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asuma Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 All MMORPG are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraysor Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 How would you actually be able to make them different? I mean, if you're looking for an MMORPG this is the sort of thing you would want. Just like if you wanted an FPS, you'd go for a game where you shoot things from a first person perspective...

Pheonix Gamma Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I dunno...I think they could make MMORPGs varied. I mean, RPGs themselves are varied greatly. Look at all the different combat systems and such. My biggest peeves about MMORPGs: pay to play; I paid $50 for the game, I'm not paying more money. Fetch quests Long hours leveling up A lot of them look the same (which, I guess contradicts my whole argument. YAY!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtsmarty Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 This game isn't all that great. Problems: 1) Logging on from the website. You can't log on using the client, everytime you start the game you need to go to their website. 2) It's only compatible with IE. Blows. 3) When you do eventually log on, the servers are so ____ing packed that the chances of actually getting on first try are low. Even if you do, it takes ages to log in. 4) Lag. 5) Picking items up is a bitch. Possibly due to lag, but it's really really annoying. 6) Slow attack speed. Dear god you attack like once a year. It's horrible But it's not too terrible. The graphics are pretty and it's somewhat similar to RO, so yeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 so really the big issue is the lag and the website. The game is new and it's gotten popular from what I've heard, so later on it'll probably be a little better, like more servers or something... ....right?

Well personally I hate the not-picking-up items thing. But yeh,those are the biggest problems. Oh, another is that it can be trouble getting on (like last night, there was a trouble with logging onto the site). Means people AFK a lot, clogging the servers making it HARDER to get on.

Pheonix Gamma Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 people are AFK in practically every MMO. You'd think they'd say "ok, I have to go to work now, then go hang with my buddies, so I should close this program now" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
