I hate to say it, but this game is dead before it even reaches the public.
PS: And the devs are perfectly ok with this btw.
To find an intelligent person in a PUG is not that rare, but to find a PUG made up of "all" intelligent people is one of the rarest phenomenons in the known universe.

I think this is the same newbreed gamer who posted a crythread in the official LinkRealms forum. The fact he is making up lies (about auto-looting, I haven't seen a single AFK trainer looting) leads me to believe he develops a similar game, and is trying to give Linkrealms bad publicity.
Basically in Linkrealms, your character auto-retaliates when attacked. So you can find a spot and train skills whilst AFK. Thing is though, this isn't without risk... The game is open PK and full loot, not to mention you can pull mobs through entrances to different zones and use those to kill people. Also like Ultima Online, you can use macros as long as you're not looting or moving I believe. This newbreed poster is extremely confused between what is a macro, and what is a bot (he thinks pressing key X every 10 seconds is a bot). Not to mention it's quite easy to get skills to 80, 100 is max and quite hard to get with only a minimal benefit.
There are no bots in Linkrealms. Also, what I can do in 8-10 hours macroing whilst I sleep, I can do in 1-1.5 hours actually playing the game. It's just something nice to wake up to, not a big deal. For anyone who has that itch for an adventure in an MMO again, who likes isometric style, open full-loot PK, and highly customisable land ownership I SERIOUSLY urge you to give this game a try. Please don't let this confused boy (who needs to get his facts straight) put you off, because you would seriously be missing out on an absolute little gem of a game. It has so much character.

Always hating on instances in MMOs! Open worlds, open PvP, territory control and housing please. More persistence, more fun.
Their is nothing on the cash shop that affects combat, either directly or indirectly at all. All the stuff in the cash shop is vanity (mostly related to Realms), you can even purchase a realm claim with in-game cash from the banker NPC. Nothing affects combat except for the "starter set" which you will drop when you die, and replace in your second hour playing the game.
The way they do it (make their money), is that doors I'm pretty sure are cash shop only. So if you want a door for your house, you're going to have to open your wallet. It's not expensive though.
But yeah I can assure you, nothing on their affects combat, at all.

Your an excellent example of why the game's community is trash. The more I hear/see from people in that community the more obvious it becomes. The irony is, the game actually is quite good, it's the people in it that ruin it.
To find an intelligent person in a PUG is not that rare, but to find a PUG made up of "all" intelligent people is one of the rarest phenomenons in the known universe.
Its not one or the other, but the combo, that makes it lethal, IMO.
FFA Nonconsentual Full Loot PvP ...You know you want it!!
Again, obviously you haven't played the game if you're saying the community's trash. There's very few assholes like me, I tend to kill everyone I see except 1 or 2 dudes unless they're new players.
Also, just so you have a general idea I'll actually draw you a picture. In games, a bot is a program that walks around, farms mobs, eats food when low, repairs weapons as needed, returns to farm etc etc. Simple "Press Q, wait 5, repeat" IS NOT A BOT!
I'll say it again, there's not a SINGLE person with a bot in this game. I know pretty much everyone in the game. If I bump into someone out farming, they'll always start running, say something, or start fighting. People just MACRO against beginner mobs STOOD IN ONE SPOT whilst they sleep to gain some skill.
The reason you're getting to me is because if I was considering trying this game and saw "100 botters everywhere" I'd be like "yeah, forget it". But if I saw "pretty much everybody macros" I wouldn't care. Dude, if you have any half decent keyboard it will have a repeat key function... You don't even need "third party software".
@Boneserino:
You think I play Linkrealms because its free?
You think I haven't and won't continue to donate?
You think I wouldn't pay for access to a game like this?
What me hating idiots have to do with how much money is in my pocket? I don't get it...
EDIT: I should of mentioned that Kajamaz and Kazuhiro are probably the same person trying to advertise EverEmber online over Linkrealms. Which by the way is a COMPLETELY different game if you're looking for the Linkrealms style... I went to the EverEmber website and the first thing that caught my eye was: "First things first, the new guilds and pvp arena" I stopped right there and closed the website. I play Linkrealms because there's NO instances, fully open world. PvP arena shit sounds like instances. No thanks.

As for calling me a dev on another game or something, I'm not. (Not that you'll believe me, and I can't say that I care.) but I do appreciate you mentioning the game, I recalled someone else mentioning it in a similar thread, but forgot the name. I'll check it out.
PS: Looked into the Ember game, and funny enough, I agree with you, not into instanced stuff.

And since your first paragraph sounds absolutely correct, I will stop there.

Either they dont know pvp and f2p dont mix together, or they are aware and just like to exploit the business model.
I tend to believe the latter, but it could be a mix of both.
