LF Grinding MMO
Yeah, it's again me.
I'm looking for a nice gridning (mob grinding, spending hours on one spot to get lvl/gear, not quest grind like in Aion) MMO with lots of classes and people to play, mostly like L2 or RO. Class change, like in this games, would be awesome too, but I don't really mind it. I was trying EQ2 and V: SoH but... idk, something in this games pushed me back after few weeks.

Trouble is, the server is under "stress test" which much like the old days of RO means "Okay yeah we did -not- expect this and now our server is on fire hold up for a minute seriously everyone" but once that clears up, it looks like the best option for now.
Imho, RO2 is... shit. This awesome game climate from RO1 was killed by this 3D graphic.
Maple Story looks nice, I will check it out.
How about FF XI?
Final Fantasy XI is definitely a good game, but I think it lost the charm that it once had. The recent expansions introduced a way to power level, so hardly anybody actually parties to level up. You basically just get to level 30 and then sit around afk while some high level gets you to max level within a day. There's also not much solo content so you can't exactly grind. If you don't mind getting to max level through powerleveling and enjoy role-based party play (tank, dps, healer, etc.) then it may be a good option for you.
Honestly though, I'd just wait for Final Fantasy XIV: A realm reborn instead of bothering with FFXI at this stage.
Bless hasn't come yet and I want to play NOW.
Any other suggestions?
I was going to suggest FFXI if, for whatever odd reason, you actually like grinding. But when I returned about a year ago, most of the old form of grinding was eliminated. Instead of going to level specific areas with a party of 6 and working together to take down mobs, you now form an alliance of 18 and go sit at a grand total of 3 locations for a few hours each and mindlessly bum rush chained mobs in order to reach level 75. If you have people to run the Limit Break quests with, it's entirely possible to reach 75 within a week of moderate play time.
I don't know what the new Abyssea stuff is like beyond 75. I lost interest again before I got to that point.
Is the grind to 200 even that bad anymore?
Aren't those 71 classes just just the original 4 with slight variations on their skill sets?
It has been a while, since I played MS, and I sure do miss the good old days.
I have been grinding Fallen Earth without doing the annoying missions.
I would like to think that I have been successful with only grinding but I wonder if I am missing a large part of the game.
I think I am going to have to least do one mission in order to join a faction.
I also wanted to try grinding Vanguard but it seems like you really need to do the quests for the experience.
How about population in Fallen Earth?
I think the population is great in Fallen Earth. There are always people in the main towns with no instances that I have found. There is also plenty of conversation in the chat channels.
yep this.
