I can honestly say that Cabal is one of my favorite games.

The good:

It's very easy to level and there are MANY quests so you'll never find yourself with nothing to do. However, after level 40, the questing start to feel repetitive because you have to go out and kill X monsters and get X number of items, then go back to the NPC, get exp and money, repeat.

But there are other types of quests as well.

Also, A STORYLINE. It's a lot of text but you'll be quickly wanting to know what happens next.

The class system has to be one of the best out there. With 6 different classes to choose from and many different skills to be acquired, you will be able to customize your character any way you choose.

Plus, there are many monsters at different levels to fight so you'll never find yourself hitting on weak monsters for 0.002% exp nor will you find yourself stuck beating up on monsters beyond your ability.

And though the community has been a bit lackluster since the official release (and the bots), the other players are pretty nice and the forums are a good place to get advice on your character build if you're hoping to perfect it. In game, there is a Shout chat channel, so if you have any quick questions, you can get answers there.

I'm not too big on PvP but only n Cabal I will occasionally participate. Cabal has an honor system that is affected by PvP. When you get certain amounts of honor, you can buy special items, and do special quests. So if you PK somebody you can lose a lot of honor and do it too much and you'll go to "jail." Fortunately, Cabal has a War channel were you can freely attack other players for honor points. It's a lot of fun and a big rush if you're looking to play a little "manhunt" in your own mind or you just want to find strong players to beat up (or get beat upon...).

The bad:

The only hangups I have about Cabal is that it's starting to become overrun with bots. OGPlanet recently deleted hundreds of bot accounts but they've returned with a vengeance. You may occasionally run into a KSing bot and don't count on even being able to have any kind of convo in town.

The bots also cause a lot of lag. And at busy times, you can log on but the heavy lag can make it damn near impossible to do anything at all. And sometimes, the lag causes you to die when you come out of dungeon.

Overall, Cabal is an awesome game. I've recommended it to all of my gamer friends and I'd recommend it to all types of MMO'ers out there.

 I agree Cabal is a really fun game but like every other F2P mmo is gets boring, I played to level 70 then got bored due to the huge amount of grinding that you have to do.

Any mmorpg without sides is just another lazy developer project where any race class combo can beat you up.  Serious gamers tend to play faction P2P mmorpgs - they want factions and differences between cultures not the same vanilla mmorpg pvp concepts.

Don't think pvp in these games is just vanilla? Ask yourself which project takes more dedication - one where developers have had to hire artists and writers to create seperate uniquely different realms that are engaged in massive world conflicts..or the infamous 6 race class combos that offer Rogue, Healer, Mage, Summoner, Tank, Paladin! and a pvp system where you can just kill whomever...

As an adult player I'll take the mmorpg that has the most investment in regards to time and creativity.

Cabal is a really fun game and one of my favorites, too.

The bots in towns are really annoying, but other than that it plays very smoothly, has a ton of quests like you say, so you don't have to just grind mobs, and has the jukebox, so you can play your own music in game with .ogg files. And once you set the graphics up right, it looks pretty good. Not Crysis good, but really good for an MMO.

But... not bother to act like one on internet forums.

Krygon

Are you able to just solo play if thats what you prefer, or is strickly made for grouping?

FolbyOrb

Yes, you can solo quite well. Many of the skills let you take on, and kill, multiple mobs at the same time.

farfanugon

fact cabal is a solo game until lvl 100+ you will never need a party " wheres the mmo in that?"

fact the bots and gold spammers out number the players during most hours " wheres the fun in that?"

fact there is no in game support

fact well over 1/2 the time the forums support is down

fact player reports screen shops and or vid feed are not proof to the GMs of botting activity

fact there are more hacks going than there are cash shop boosts

fact said hacks can and will effect YOUR client if you are in range of mass hacker areas

fact this game has been back shelf status " its now running a loop " new content is not forth coming " " updates whats a update"

fact the vast number of bots in this game have inflated the sales prices to the point new players will never have anything

fact higher lvl quests cost millions to enter if you dc in these quests at the start you need to repay to get in " if there are active bots running in these quest your dc prob. is jacked sky high"

fact mission wars PVP is just a testing ground for who has the best hacks " my fav is the 0 hp but still cant be killed hack"

fact if you find these options a greatness in a MMO you are in the right game
