Please, by all means, give up on the game. But also give up on making sweeping statements about the ultimate, absolute nature of the game. Just...go away.

C'mon, guys (and gals)...
He didn't like Atys, it was not the game for him, that happens... BUT: at least he tried and he's honest about it. There's no use in throwing whatever after him. The same applies vice versa, of course: No need to leave spikes on one's trail when leaving. There's nothing that pleases everyone, except maybe oxygen
Let's keep our voices friendly.
Prepin, I wish you'll find what you're looking for and have loads of fun looking for it. Bon voyage

I was talking about creating the scenerios.

I second that, though you tried and I'll give you credit for that, please don't make statements on the nature of the game when you call it a constant grindfest, though thats what you make it to be. You tried nothing else from what I can tell, or at least not with any dedication. You make statements on what its like to be at level 250, though your only 51....
I'll give you credit for an attempt, but please move on, I hope you find a game for to your liking. I suggest WOW or one of its many clones, though they are no different from this game, just like the difference in Izlams and Yubos...words spoken by a true master.
Good Bye.
EDIT: Quote thingy isn't working
EDIT 2: Got it

@ Prepin
Tell us what other mmorpgs you used to play and what you liked about them. Because everything you mentioned in the first post, except the small community part, is found in almost all mmorpgs.

I usually agree with a lot of stuff you say on here, but I think this is a little harsh. Perhaps people should invite this 'lost' homin to hang out with them, and actually show them what's fun, rather than talking about it, then when they don't understand just tell them to go away. I believe there is still hope!

Heh, I'm too cynical about this sort of thread and their originators to hope.

Despite what people told me this game is not as diffrent as people claimed it to be. saying it offers alot to do is a joke, unless you find killing izams as opposed to yubos diffrent because the izams can evade more!!! which is pathetic almost.
I was ready to cut you a lot of slack until I saw this... which indeed proves that you and this game are not made for each other.
You only scratched at the surface of the game and lost patience. Pity you didn't have a chance to see all the subtlety of it. Let me tell you, after 10 months of playing and several professions mastered I still discover new things every day.
How many actions do you use for melee? Do you understand how feint works? Have you ever tried to roleplay with the inhabitants of a NPC village? What will happen if you target a kitin's legs and how are the possible attacks different? What armor is best against a spear created with OP mats? Did you build a small background story about your toon? Do you understand why sometimes is useful to add a fine mat to a sup mats recipe? Do you know what works best against kipuckas - melee or magic? and which magical attack is the best? Are kipesta aggresive? are there exceptions? Have you ever seen a small pond with multicolored frogs? What's the best gear to have when you want to solo cratcha? Were you able to discover any uber crafting recipe? Do you know any at all? Well, I could keep going forever...

Just for fun, continuing on Motan's theme...
How many waterfalls are there in Liberty Lake? Have you ever simply sat and watched the amazing environment, flora, and fauna around you? Ever followed a path or road just to see where it goes and ended up finding something cool somewhere you'd never have thought to look? What town can you see from the southern heights of the cliffs in the Greenvale area? Who is Oba? Who is Drakfot? How would you write "best warrior" in Zoraï pictograms? Where is the only place in the New Lands that you can find the ghostly Papalexi trees? What is the largest waterfall and what is the best route to it, from which town? What does one have to do to defeat Bodokin? What are the origins of the names of the Natae, Davae, and Avalae towns? What is a cycle, and how many are there in a Jena Year? How many pits are there in Fleeting Garden with ponds in them? Which tribes have intelligent-plant allies in their camps? What is the most strategically efficient way to defeat a carnivore boss and its far-sighted, aggressive minions, i.e. Ginkin? What are the naming styles of each race, and can you think up three original (but in keeping with the traditional style) Fyros names? How would you create a dance routine with magic spells, and how many options would you have for spelldance moves considering racial spells gained at 125 Elemental and double-missile/afflicting-missile stanzas? What tree produces grapes that are made into firewine? What happens when you enter a Goo-infected area? What is the recipe for a choice-grade, max-damage sword? What level range is a creature with a red background, one yellow star, and a number 3 in its target box; how about an orange background with one black star? Did you know it's possible to self-heal your HP, Stamina, Sap, and Focus simultaneously with one action? How do you disable the quantity prompt when moving items between inventories (i.e. bag to packer)? Have you ever been mooned by Tyilin? How many levels are there, in total of all skill branches? Where is the Pub Night located, how often is it held, and who hosts it? Have you ever tried to communicate with Miwekalili and learn the language he uses (without referring to the language's website)? Have you ever participated in a player-run event? Have you ever witnessed the assassination of a governor, the subsequent investigations, a second assassination attempt on a grand sage, the chase and catching of the assassin, the interview/interrogation of a representative of an involved tribe, the election of a new governor, and followed all the rumors and subplots that surround these events and continue to this day in various forms?
