Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

In my life I've sampled MANY video games and quite a few MMOs as well. It is with this vast experience that I can honestly say zOMG! sucks a huge load of beaver-c**k.

The lack of a class system makes it so every player has the chance to make themselves well rounded, which really just means no one is going to have any dedicated jobs. (Healers, MDPS, RDPS, etc) In fact a lot of the people I saw (and insulted) had the exact same 'rings', which really just means the same attacks and skills. (Everyone loves that katana)

Also, even with the restriction of newest members the flood of older members, plus the inability to change camera angles, AND the shitty server meant massive lag and getting lost in the sauce due to the sheers numbers of faggots talking about how much they think Inuyasha is an existential show around every conceivable NPC.

The game also tried to introduce special attacks, etc that only work if you've been social or are in a group. To me this means they obviously realized how much of a lone-wolf their classless system can make everyone so they needed to toss in incentives. The quests I went on in Barton were nothing short of retarded, such as passing out cookies and interviewing newbs about how much they love to beg for gold. Needless to say I quickly lost interest.

Oh, and I saw NO PvP, but after all the previously mentioned montage of retardation I wasn't in any hurry to look for it. A pity, though, as if it were tossed up in my face earlier on it might have been the ONLY reason I'd associate with ANYONE in that game.

On a side note it was a bummer to notice how the weapons and armor your avatar wears has NO effect in the game, making it purely aesthetic. While this is good since you won't feel pressured to wear something gay simply due to its stat-effecting powers it does render the idea of actually using my missile-launcher as a weapon a rather mute point. In short, I got guns and armor and I want to use guns and armor, not retarded 'power rings'. This isn't Captain Planet, this is Gaia Online... although maybe if it were Captain Planet the experience would have actually been better... maybe...?

In summary, it was a waste of my time and I've no plans on going back to it. It would take a LOT (such as an area dedicated to killing anthros) to get me to log back on to it and even then I probably wouldn't be on for long seeing as the whole system sucks.
