The World or The World R:2

Which version of "The World" would you rather play if it was a real M.M.O.R.P.G.
and why? The World or The World R:2? Personally I would rather play the R:2
version because there's so many new features to the game like for instance they changed all of the P.C. classes which is a big approvement to the game. And the areas are much bigger. So what would you choose?

I would choose The World, because contrary to what you said, the shows, novels, and manga make it clear that the areas are every bit as big as those in R:2, NTM there are several classes added over time. And I love the Gaelic setting and how all of the music fits that time period. Forget this neo-Renaissance crap.

I'd like R2, because think about bashing people up in the arena, the dungeon crawling with MUCH more stuff to do!

They already made a V1 (Fragment), now it's time for "THE WORLD!" (V2!)

R:2 because it's got so many cute hats. <3

(Yar, silly reason, I know.)

R:2 because its more advanced in general...

Even the setting of a world in turmoil is more realistic that the original's paradise. GU also looks much better than the .hack games in just about every aspect including storyline so I may be biased. The characters are also sexier in general...

Besides, my favourite Class is Danse Macabre, you can't get those in R:1.

The World R1. I hate PKing.

You know, they have the technology to make the parts neccessary to play "The World", but they don't have the computer specs. You'd need a huge database to hold all the character, field, and equipment data. Yeah, I guess I'd play "The World R:2".

Um actually Iskatar, The World would not be that much of a 'spec' based game. If you think about it, there are many computers out there better then your PS2, and that is able to run a game similar to The World (Fragment). Also, they have games such as EQ, EQ2, SWG, WoW, etc, which are GIANT realms, much larger then ANY field in The World R:1 or R:2. The point being, neither game is actually that hard to make.

Also, as far as Fragment being a 'R:1'... I would have to differ. Fragment is not that great of a game (I have had it for a few months, it is very boring after a while).

Yet, now for my opinion: I would much rather see R:2. I guess this is due to for the last 2 years, I have been working on The World (its a 2d MMORPG which I made), so I have gotten quite bored of it. R:2 how ever (which I am actually in the process of programming and developing) is newer to me... so ya, I would rather see this one (plus, this one will be 3d ^^).

EDIT:
On a side note, R:1 HAD PKing. It was just the fact that in R:2, there were more PKers. It is just that fact that the morel of many of the players had gone down... same thing could have happened in R:1.

fragment the game is not nothing like the actual The World and about EQ yeah but The World have conbination of words to create thousands or millions of fields and dungeons (dunno how manny much worlds conbinations have the actual TheWord )

Well, Fragment is very similar to how The World is, asside from two major things.
1) In The World, fields were not instanced as they are somewhat in Fragment
2) In The World, you could have more then 3 ppl in a field

EQ may not be quite as large as the real The World, yet Star Wars Galaxies would most likely be much larger. If you think about it, The World would have very little 'info' running threw most fields, if you think about it like this:

1) If a player is not in a field, have it be on standby. Most fields probably did not have players in them, thus most would be on this 'standby' mode.
The same goes for dungeons.

2) The World had 5 servers, thus it was spread out.

Really, The World would just require a lot of severs... thats it. The actual strain on each server how ever, would not be that large.

The World R:2

I love the theme so much more, and probley to AuraTwilight's Dismay, i enjoy PKing.

Not really worth it if it's a weak person, only if they are a high level, of crouse if i low level does annoy me.

s'all good

Damnit... I can't pick which one... I suppose R2 would look better... it's much better... it looks more like a real MMORPG.
But I perfer many of the character models in the original world then #2

Kite_2000 · Post by **Kite_2000** » Sat May 27, 2006 6:11 pm

I think...

'The World' R:2 would be better...it's been fixed up

and without PK's, there ain't any balance, so it won't be any fun without 'em.

Fragment, itself, is NOT an MMORPG. You just basically get 3 people in a chatroom and go to some field and do stuff there. In my opinion, it's more more Monster Hunter than .hack. I'm assuming that we have the technology to build a full-fledged MMORPG called "The World". The thing is, we don't have the database to store all that data. We CAN build a database strong enough to support it all, but that would cost a **** load of money.

KimageRagna · Post by **KimageRagna** » Sun May 28, 2006 3:07 pm

About PKing in R:1...you clearly see that they have it in SIGN but it was removed later on.

Anyway I'd play R:1....I don't like R:2

Yes it is. Because "The World" is based on the PC and not the PS2. And think about it; Over a million people connecting to one PC and is constantly on until they log off. Without a good computer, it would just lag like hell. Fragment is different because it's a simple chatroom where they meet up with people and warp to a field. It's not like they meet up in a Root town and form a party there. Correct me if I'm wrong, because I didn't play Fragment.

I'd have to agree, a game without glitches being played by 20 million people, each with a unique avatar, on hundreds of fields, with advanced virtual reality on your average home computer...

Such a feat has not yet been performed, though it is not far from coming to fruition.
