Dlbens, I don't much fancy The Reck. It reminds me of TSS in Everquest. See they already had content up to about level 70. Then they made TSS. It goes up to 75, I think. It had everything from level 1 to 75. It was SUPPOSED to be the go to place for all levelling players, especially CR, but in many ways it was a poor substitute for past content. They should have just deleted everything before TSS and then polished what was there, or made it higher level content only and balanced it with the rest of the world. They didn't learn their lesson, none of the MMORPG companies ever do. They weren't happy just getting par, so they went to greater extremes. With OMM, they replaced vast swathes of level 70+ content for level ~78+ players. This time they didn't bother creating a continent and lore and so on. They just created an instance and recycled old zones and put it in the main city. It was sort of fun maybe, but it was appallingly counter to the rest of the game, underhanded and shrunken. I may have known alreayd, but the point was drilled into me with OMM>>> Companies do not care about the world or the loyalty of players, they only care about $$$ and will gladly impale their longtime players and put them over a fire for it. I definitely admire them making The Reck, as a separate accomplishment on its own, but in context to the rest of Rubi-Ka it feels like a cheap ploy to get froobs to 200, and to advertise itself in hopes people will come see it. That's great and all, but I'd rather see them work on ALL of Rubi-Ka, or remove it altogether. I'd rather steer away from The Reck and just explore Rubi-Ka. Exploring Rubi-Ka has always been satisfying.
Is that what this is about? MMORPGs start out on a strong foot, but then they take the cheap way out. They do this nearly everytime. Years and years of collectively taking the cheap alternative kills the game.
EDIT: My trader is level 50 now. Got killed by the slayerdroid in 20k. Watch for it if you visit. A lot of players are doing clan for some xp bonus(?), but I like playing Omni. I see a lot of players anyway. In fact, I've been surprised how many players I see. Some are boxes, but people still play this. And I'm not even visiting TOTW.
Wish I could get some of that "Wet'n Red" in Omni-Entertainment :0
