The eastern-imports are an interesting mix, the only one I've really stuck to for any lengthy duration was Black Desert Online -- and that was due to my main guild giving it a fair whack for a while.<br /><br />Can't beat 'free' for giving something a try though I guess, so I'm giving this a download. The real problem will come in the opportunity-cost of time spent checking it out vs. anything else I could be using my gaming time for I think!Naithinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830174305806727004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-56041414810954066732019-07-08T08:07:46.109+01:002019-07-08T08:07:46.109+01:00Ah!

I'll have to practice. <br /><br />As I was saying to Naithin above, I find the problem with most of the imported MMOs comes with the endgame, which tends to be even grindier than Western versions and requires real money if you want to avoid making it your life. Not generally an issue for me, since I rarely get as far the endgame in most MMOs, no matter what their origin.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-33197215281508668242019-07-07T15:00:44.273+01:002019-07-07T15:00:44.273+01:00I loved RoI but eventually fizzled out on the endg...I loved RoI but eventually fizzled out on the endgame.. still think about it from time to time, dread to think how many freebies may be awaiting me...!! Still.. something that I noticed from your post - you should be able to trigger Taming right from the back of your mount. You'll get an animation where you kind of stand up crouched on its back - then you can leap to the target mount-to-be. It's a bit of a knack but not too hard to get the hang of. Lots of opportunities to practice! :) Also if falling you can poof a flying mount into existence to catch you - highly recommend a hotkey or two for such emergencies. A lot of taming etc happens high up/away from land. (Also good for switching mounts midflight). Gliding is lovely :DSuvanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17328456080309722168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-35369549253128866602019-07-07T09:14:05.414+01:002019-07-07T09:14:05.414+01:00I'm not having any issues with F2P yet but I f...I'm not having any issues with F2P yet but I find it's very rarely a problem at low or mid levels in this kind of game. If the developers know what they're doing they reel you in gently through the low and mid levels until you're securely hooked. The bite comes when you get close to whatever passes fro the endgame and since I almost never get that far I very rarely feel it at all.<br /><br />As far as Riders of Icarus goes, it's very generous at the levels I'm playing. You get a decent amount of the cash shop currency from Achievements, dailies and especially from the login rewards. I've been able to add all the inventory space, bank storage and Familiar slots I've needed. I bought a 16 slot bag yesterday, the most expensive thing I've bought so far. It cost me 50 Elluns. The same day I got 20 Elluns as a login reward and a few more from an achievement. I'm receiving more than I spend right now.<br /><br />The big expense, I think, would be the item you need to extract Seals from Familiars. Those almost only come from the Cash Shop and if you get into upgrading your gear seriously I think you would need plenty of them. It's not necessary while levelling though, or I haven't found it to be yet.<br /><br />One thing I would say is that RoI seems to have one of the better subscription/membership deals I've seen in that what you get is actually pretty useful. I have a free 7-day Premium Membership right now from the current event and I am going to miss it when it goes. <br /><br />As I said to Pete in an earlier comment thread, when he was talking about playing, I wouldn't want to big RoI up too much. If you don't already like this kind of Eastern conversion, RoI is definitely not going to change your mind, more like confirm what you already know you don't like. If you do like them, though, I think this is one of the better ones I've tried.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-53452006606060636422019-07-06T23:45:14.242+01:002019-07-06T23:45:14.242+01:00I quite possibly missed this in an earlier post --...I quite possibly missed this in an earlier post -- if so, let me know and I'll go back to find it -- but how are you finding the F2P model of Icarus? <br /><br />This story has got me interested enough to go take a poke around methinks, but already subbing to FFXIV so would rather not take on another sub-mandatory game right now. xDNaithinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830174305806727004noreply@blogger.com
