    Well thats one way of looking at life. A never ending massively multiplayer online Rollplaying Game.

    Personally, I'm wondering when we'll get an expansion pack. A sequel may be too much to ask; I haven't heard any bug reports, so it probably means the Devs are all busy squashing any bugs before they become well-known.

    I'm surprized the review didn't mention the physics model or netcode. They're better than any other MMORPG out there...

    Or the crafting system. I hear there's whole subcommunities developing around certain aspects of it!

    Although I have to say that I fear the griefer amount is getting a little out of hand. As far as I know, there's no kind of definite EULA people are bound to, and that shows from time to time. Recently, some griefers got into <i>really</i> high positions in some of the more powerful guilds by exploiting. Honestly, I'm a little worried how they will affect gameplay for your average player.

    i think hte most incredible part of this MMORPG is that it can support over 10 billion people on what seems to be a single server. Admitted, you sometimes get lag when flying over some kind of 'line' and it ends up yesterday, but thats only for people who fly a lot.

    A close runner up to most incredible is that, inside of it, you can play even smaller MMORPG's, adn inside of them, GAMEBOYS!!! facinating. I wish i was a member of LIFE: The MMORPG, as you get all kinds of cool things.

    I heard rumors of 'secret' different races, although it seems a few of the warrior guilds have dibs on them.

    yeah there is still a lot of bugs in the financial systems and among the very powerful guilds, but so few players see these bugs the devs never got around to fixing them. i hate it i tell ya.

    but on the other hand it is only supporting six billion, with more players every day, i wonder if it gets near 10 billion and this world fills up theyll make an expansion, or cut down on the newbie rates.

    Pssh. I heard there's some bugs, I'm gonna wait for the patch.

    Not only that but the Devs are fully lagging on that world event they promised in the Manual. We were all supposed to work for karma points so when the poop hit the fan we wouldn't die in plauges and fires. Pfft all that Sunday lvling up for nothing I tell you.

    Good god really? Perhaps you should get emergency tech support at a local Empath guild.

    If you'd check your figures, you'd notice that the server hasn't hit 10 billion players yet. There are no figures on its maximum capacity, but there are rumours that it might crash if the amount of players get too great. Some of the ingame-guilds are muttering that other, unused servers exist, and are trying to devise means by which to move a charcter from one server to another. Others think that there are other servers out there with different kinds of players, and that these have the skillpoints to move freely from server to server, or even from server-farm to server-farm. Whether any of this is true, or whether real life will just go on as normal until the power supply burns out, only time will tell.

    I once went up one of those mountains in it. The graphics really impressed me. I couldnt even see where it started clipping off in the distance. The draw distance it fantastic. Hell the game looks so good you dont need FSAA on it at all. I havn't seen a single jaggy yet. Simply fantastic. Maybe someone should mod it for ns.
  • ArcadiusArcadius Join Date: 2003-04-14 Member: 15491Members
    Bah, the worst part of the Life MMORPG is that you have to spend a third of your day sleeping and then a third at a guild doing "work". You barely get anytime to go out and level. Plus, it seems like the zones never respawn. I haven't seen any monsters walking around in a while.

    I hear they are making an add-on called The Afterlife.

    But they're being lame about who can buy the thing. I mean, you don't even get a chance if you're atheist. I heard about all these people who are all changing their class to Christian or something just so they can play the Afterlife expansion. The thing that REALLY sucks is that they won't let anyone review it; you don't know if it's any good 'till you die.
  • Marik_SteeleMarik_Steele To rule in hell... Join Date: 2002-11-20 Member: 9466Members
    My guess is that it's being made by popular demand. Plenty of players aren't happy with the apparent inability to create a new game character once your character dies or your account expires. Afterlife may just be a way to hold those people off until a full sequel is made.

    Sometimes reallife can suck, because it is so stimulating that every move you make can have a consequence. It is the most realistic game ever made. Recommended for people, who are willing to go the distance and do whatever it takes to conqueor life's challenges. Life can be hard to master, but when your player becomes older it will begin to realize the goodness that is in life. Life is a process of conviction and most importantly Life's best feature is love.

    and that too, Speaking of the new sequal the afterlife, have you guys heard that there will be two new worlds, heaven and hell? The boss of hell is supposedly this guy named Satan. He is the highest level creature ever, aprox lev100 <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> his magic is extremely powerful and should not be taken lightly, my guessful suggestion is that you run your arse as fast as you can.

    Yeah, I heard about him. Apparently, he drops some sweet equipment though if you beat him. Some kind of flaming sword or what not. Plus, I think if you usurp him you get to take the place over or something which would be pretty cool.

    Also, there's rumors of a third world called Purgatory, but most gamers don't really think it exists.
