I know that it was pretty early in the genre and so newer concepts hadn't been invented yet, but I'm also a massive fan of Ultima Online which was like 100% customization so that isn't really an excuse for them either. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Everquest was the first big commercial success and one of the earliest 3d mmorpgs. It defined a lot of the genre and games copied it for years. So it was normal for the time by right of defining what a "normal" mmorpg is. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Shadowplay 02/01/21 4:39:13 AM #6:	Yeah that sounds about like PSO, which wasn't an MMO but was still an online RPG from that time. In that game after picking your class (which your character's gender is tied to), all you could do was just adjust your character's height and build, choose from a few preselected faces and hairstyles, and select the colors of your outfit and hair. --- I make a topic in Final Fantasy 12 to ask if Tifa!

s0nicfan 02/01/21 5:03:53 AM #9:	Ryuko_Chan posted... yea its pretty terrible i am really bored hoping it picks up eventually It won't. Something that changed radically in the genre is leveling. Old MMORPGs were of the classic "you're going to spend a long, long time reaching max level" mindset because they wanted people to pay attention to all the quests. WoW sort of changed this dynamic into making it a sprint to max level where all the meaningful content is. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

ShyOx 02/01/21 5:06:22 AM #11:	And nothing gets better until level 12. There just arent enough spells to make it interesting, and theres no point grouping until then which was the heart of Everquest. Just spend an hour powerlevelling and then youll be mostly there. Its just not worth it anymore without the community lol --- http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/6938/vyqp.jpg DIPLOMACY <cite>ShyOx posted [p:950149348] in playing cl...
