It’s still in beta, it still (obviously) has bugs and not everything is perfect, neither it will be after release, because no game is, but there is one thing I absolutely LOVE about ToS so far… It actually feels like MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER Online Role Playing Game, which many other games in this genre lack.
Most mmorpgs that comes out now and have been for the past few years focus on questing to avoid grinding, because people were fed up with it, but as a result we get “mmos” where you play alone doing your quests, around other people but not WITH them, characters that can switch classes on the fly so you don’t need other people, focus on story… put it all together and you have a single player RPG, not MMO.
ToS is what I’ve been waiting for, from the first levels I feel like I’m playing WITH people, even when I’m not in party with them. You do have a choice, you can do quests but you can just grind where you want and how long you want. You can’t switch your class whatever you want, you do PLAY a certain ROLE and you do need others.
And yes, there are things Im not happy with but it’s only closed beta and Im sure many of those things will be changed, and even if they won’t, I already prefer it over most mmos.
