Hello community!

New to Regnum and looking to hear from you about what turns you on about Regnum. Looking for positive and the not so positive responses that will determine if I should give this title a go!

The not so positives Im looking for do not include bugs, or glitches unless its a game breaker, otherwise Im looking for not so positive game mechanics problems like the movement is to slow, or not fluent, or impossible to do certain things, and so on. Anyhting about the gameplay that simply erks you!

As for the wonderful stuff, let it rip and be detailed as Im dying to hear what makes this RvR game fun!

So let the posts begin, if this is a great community I should see quite a few posts before the day is up, otherwise it will tell me alot about the passion this community has, or the lack of for this title.

thanks and looking forward to hearing your descriptive painting of what makes Regnum exciting, or not so exciting!

Where do I start...

The RvR is the soul of this game, everything is built around it, and because of this the RvR is the best you can find in any MMORPG imo.
Low-lvls might have a hard time reaching lvl 30+, which is a recommended level to enter warzone, to start participating in the fun - but this will get changed in a not too far future as it's stated in the roadmap for Regnum 2009.

The balance is pretty good, one thing I like with Regnum is the powerful skills.
For example I talk with my friends, and they say: "Area dizzy for everyone around you and -constitution? That is really overpowered".
That could be true, but the thing is that everyone are overpowered in Regnum, which balance things out.

In WoW for example, most skills are rather similar and dull.
In Regnum they vary alot and the skilltree system allows for flexible configurations and creates variation.

The community is great, one of the biggest reasons I stayed in this game for so long (2 years and still counting).
The native Linux support is another thing that keeps me here.

PvE in Regnum isn't that fun really.
The quests are plenty until ~lvl 30 where they start to slowly fade away.
After lvl 40 there are barely any quests at all.

Even though NGD added mob skills, grinding tend to be come very repetive, and teaming up with a good party can always be funny and give good xp, so that is recommended.

Conclusion: If you can make it to level 50, or atleast past lvl 40, you won't regret it if you like hardcore PvP/RvR action.
Community is great, developers are friendly (when they don't trick you to run fork bombs

) and balance is good.

Welcome to Regnum!

Nothing to add to Znurre's comment except that you should find a clan as soon as you get out of initiation island. They can help you with quests, npc locations and skill tips. Also the advised level might be 30, but who cares

Go to WarZone at level 15 if you feel like. It's great to experience a war and you'll might learn something. To be honest, if I didn't went to war after level 18 I would probably never have passed level 25.

Take my opinion with a grain of salt. This is only the 2nd mmorpg I've ever played. The first one was a 2d game, but stuck with it for a couple of years. I've been playing Regnum for over a year now, and enjoy it very much.

In fact, most of my family plays as well. We have diff. computers and have a ball playing together. The fact that most other online games my kids wanted to play had high fees. Maybe 14 dollars isn't much, but times 4 or 5 accounts its more then my eletric bill.

Anyway, my point is, Regnum is a great game and its a great world. Its like dragons, wizards, orcs, good, evil and everything in between. I strongly urge you to at least try it out. My plus/minus are as follows:

+positives!

+PvP, RvR is awesome, can't get enough of it!
+Invasion is very difficult, rare that its done. This gives us an "ultimate" goal to try and achieve.
+Class spells vary, many combinations, can be fun to just set it up.
+Some places in the game are really neat. (scenery) Great backgrounds for war.
+Multi cultured world. Folks from all over the world play.
+Monsters can cast spells on you, and may just attack you first! (makes it more real)

-negitives

-making lvls becomes very redundant at higher stages, just kill, kill, kill
-overall communication can be difficult at times, more so when dealing with allies that speak a diff. language
-anyone at any lvl can walk into the warzone (can be fun for them, but fustrating for the higher levels at times)

Remember, just my opinion, overall its well worth downloading and trying out. Good luck.

Fellas I dont know what to say but I think you might have sold me on this game! I wonder if theres any advanced graphics or a facelift graphic wise to the game in the near future? It did sorta looked bare in some of the areas I seen, and though graphics isnt a big deal for at times it does help with immersion!

Anyway, I be DLing this little gem and will contact my guild in RoM to give this a try! We are looking for more RvR feel and RoM castle sieges will not be implemented in summer 3009 but we cant wait for that! We need something to get our PvP on with now!

Thanks for the opinions on Regnum, you had me with the RVR and the fact mobs cast spells on you, and can attack you first which sounds pretty cool!

Thanks again and hope to see a lot of you in game soon!
