When playing the game, you only see people in your channel, for the area you are in.A collection of Astel cards used for character summons. ![]() You can change channels in the upper right of the Screen. I think they need to do the Mage first.Īs for the servers, they don't use servers, they use a Mega Server, with channels open as needed for population. I agree, the Loli thing is irritating and wrong to me as well, and a bit creepy sometimes, like in Tera for example. 2000 is when i first played an mmo.Everquest. My first gaming was on a TI-99/4a in the 80's. LOL! Are the servers going to deal with the stress? maybe not. but its the norm in Asia.Īny hows i'm going off topic there, either way, I hope this game survives long enough to get it's playerbase built up but if theres lag spikes now imagine what its going to be like on a 5k player strong online at once day. This is one of the issues people have now with Astellia, its the mage loli class, a lot of western gamers think its all kinds of wrong. this is why they have loli classes cos they are just obsessed with little girly loli skin flaunting classes. My first mmo was Meridian59 back in 1996 then moved onto UO in 1997. we can all throw dates around, i've been gaming since around 1984/85 with my 'Atari 400' and seen the gaming industry go from practically nothing to what it is today. Nothing worse than porting into Limsa and materializing into the crotch of a black leather underwear wearing male that mostly naked and with the body of a roman statue. Looking at another more modern mmo, technically FF14 has loli race potential, you can shrink your models down to be very small, or even play a lalafel and then glamour clothes that have the most skimpiest and most revealing look, most of these perverted players hang around Limsa Lominsa, i cringe every time I run through that city, to the point where some of the outfits make me throw up in my mouth a little. The loli classes are usually kept for the younger players who like cutesy looking characters, personally in this game id re-skin the loli class to the weasel/beaver race. Loli looking classes are nothing new in mmos (in western mmos also), they been around for YEARS! loli classes sell mmos in Asia, where as westerners prefer a more mature looking characters with biggest boobs and skinniest waist. that would be to costly and time restricted for a release to change just for westerners where the game might sink or swim, westerner mmo gamers are a lot harder crowd to please in terms of mmos than Asia. I am seeing that word of mouth, between friends, is more powerful, than trolling on forums, as people get wiser.īy saying "the norm" i mean its the same for most mmos from Asia, 90% of them have loli classes, they are NOT about to sell a game to westerners having to change game code because of 1 character look. ![]() I think that many know this and ignore much that is posted, due to that. I also like that PVP is voluntary.Īlthough the Steam community can be overly negative at times, and have to many pure Troll postings. I am also encouraged they went through steam and not Gameforge or the like. I am encouraged though, that they chose to do Buy to Play, with an optional subscription, as apposed to Pay to Win on steam. I think that would have made it necessary to release differently, and get some money incoming. I would assume that the closing of Astellia in Korea, due to Nexon's Financial situation, was not in the plans for the Developers. ![]() it makes sense for a game to offer as many options for players to play as they like, if the cost of doing so is reasonable, and in the budget. That is, if the game has a male character model that is appealing to me, many do not. I tend to make a female char at first, then gender swap them later, if I end up making that my main character. I also think many men like to play female characters, as you see in the amount of streamers who do just that. I fall in that category many times, but have learned to change a bit through time. I know what you mean by "how many do not". I am older too, and have played online games since 2000. Maybe they are planning on selling a gender switch potion in the future, that would be smart I think.
