    MMOs - the smaller scale-free

    Published by dawn under Online Gaming Edit This

         There are such a big amount of  MMOs. Most being built by smaller scale programmer’s and coders.  Seems that if you haven’t tried your hand at one, pfftt then who are you in the net world!  I consider  smaller games with about 5k less players.  Usually its player base is friends that followed from another game or word of mouth, not a whole lot goes into advertising because the whole lot of money that is to be had goes to pay for servers. This doesn’t mean at all that the game itself isn’t good. Just means its small.  A lot of these games have the foundation to be a Maple Story or a Runescape, it just takes some time and patience.  In a market of MMOs are a dime a dozen, texts based games may end up prevailing as it seems the 3d MMOs dont have the technical abilities to offer seasoned gamers, Offering something the 3d games are lacking in, and that’s self imagination.

    The problem with these smaller scale MMOs is that they don’t give you anything different from the next one, they all have the base same races, elves, humans, orcs, dwarf’s, undead. Some may get fancy and offer you Dark Elves or the likes, they all have the same bonuses it seems within game.  I think with these games to get bigger and more known in the gaming circle they need to offer something extra that will catch the gaming eye.

    I have played so many of these that I surely get bored and move on, as not many do actually lead to something new or exciting. One game I used to play a lot of though, was Martial Law www.martiall.com .

    In this game you have a character whom has mercenaries whom fight for you. you can train them, or really train them with paying for lessons.  There is a town where you can purchase items and sell items.  A labyrinth of different levels exists where you can fight demons and ghosts for weapons.  You can train, up different stats to hold more weapons, or get more gold per turn. What I did like about this game was after you were done using your turns to battle, you could still level in the labyrinth, or go into town and play games for gold, go hunting for different items. It didn’t leave you bored until the next reset.  It left you with other things to do.

    This is also another game I play, currently. I like it because after u battle to level yourself you can go into what they call the “spacial field” It goes from text to a 3d environment. you can land on planets and build them up, attack and destroy or mine and harvest. All of these things helping to develop your character. This game has in-game forums as well, for the community and for your own alliance if you choose to join one. I like that aspect as it keeps people in game.  A lot of times smaller scale games suffer the more active forums because people just cant be bothered to log out and go to the forums to see the latest update or gripe about players or the admins themselves.

    These are my 2 hot pic games of the month, if you like text based with a bit of 3 d actions and more things to do and skills to learn then just battling, then i suggest you try these games.
