Possibly the best mmo. Ramble about gathering
I must say for such simplistic combat and camping this has to be the most fun I have ever had in an mmo. At first I felt as if it was missing something, gathering. I missed gathering herbs growing on the ground or pickaxing nodes I saw along the way. Then it hit me. The materials that sell well in EC chat come from green mobs scattered about. Wow, green mobs are the gathering nodes! This took my enjoyment of the game to a new level. I can just kite a bunch of the green con guys and wack at them with a stick. It gives me something to do besides grinding enemies for xp and I'm making money doing it. An hour of grinding gives me enough money to pay for ports around the world. If I just kill them when I see them I dont need to grind. Ive been hauling my bags of materials to the tunnel and making good lowbie money to help me get some starter cash. Every day seems like a new adventure here. This game is really heavy with meta, which I think is part of the reason it is so charming. Its like a world that the players have built a game around.
