i recently stoped playing a 2d mmo called tibia. tibia had no lvl cap and to gain levels you had to pve grind grind grind. while gaining levels you advanced in character skill (like sword atk, distence fighting, magic level), how fast a certain skill went up depended on your class (knight, sorcerer, druid or pally). it's also open pvp, the higher level you got the more fun it was to pvp. i and most other people generally pve'd to get a level etc to later pvp. what made the pvp (why i kept playing the game) so interesting for me was when you died you lost some exp (you could go down a level or 2) and you could loose some eq on top of that. the battles could be 1 v 1 or big open-field guild battles like 30 v 30 etc. there was a huge emphasis on reputation (through level, pvp and rare items etc). the community was also great until they introduced character transfers from server to server. through pvp you could hunt people off servers/guilds could hunt other guilds off the servers and force massive server wars

..annnway all the new updates made the game go down-hill for me so now i'm looking for a new game to play and a few of my friends went from tibia to Aion and Lineage II. if you had to choose to play either one of these games which would it be? and why would you choose it over the other game? or according to my description of Tibia would you suggest any other mmos?

 

thanks in advance m8s!!  xd

    Maybe Darkfall?  If you like open PvP, lootable corpses, etc... give it a go.  It is skill based though, so grinding is minimal. 

    If you like grining, Aion is full of it.  PvP is fun.  If you die in PvE combat you lose XP (though you can pay to recover it).

    Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

    Lineage 2 is a precursor for Aion.

    If you want beautiful graphics, very linear story, crap customization, and a hell of a lot of bots and a korean grinder you can't wrong with either of them. I'm still flabbergasted anyone plays NCsoft crap. But i'm very biased as you can tell and i play SWG so my opinion is clearly meaningless.

    There is trial for $1 or 1 Euro for 7 days. Game is definitely worth trying. If you have some questions go to DF forums here and post there. You will get plenty of help.

    Anyway, Darkfall is FFA PvP with full looting, skill based (no classes) and territorial control. There is no auto-target and friendly fire is present. I think you may like it.
