Just to clarify somethings, Point and Click is what you do in adventure games like broken Sword, i'm sure you mean Click to Move, which is IMO the best movement control for a PvP game. But let me elaborate, as I dont know how much of LC you played, I have played alot.

1. It has about 12 servers, at least 2 are PvE and afaik there is also a server group that has an RP server.

2. It maybe made in korea (idk), but the population is Euro and US.

3. It has about 50 quests that I know of (my toons are only 37 as I spend alot of time levelling pets to sell).

4. It as mentioned has a pet system, where you can raise pets to buff yourself or use as mounts.

5. It has a lottery system.... that actually pays out

6. It has at least two events per week, but more often more than that.

7. It has a great market economy, I love wheeling and dealing in the city.

9. It has open grind and dungeon grind PLUS Scripted dungeons.

10. I love the whole Pandora Box thing, a box spawns beside you, if you open it, it may contain treasure or a Pandora Beast, if you manage to kill the beast, you get a TON of gold and or XP.

11. Its VERY newbie friendly, every few levels until 30, you get a treasure chest with a Top Class Weapin for your class, or a ton of money or awesome buff food.

12. A very deep crafting system, mobs drop manuals that are receipie books, you have to gather the resources to create the item and then (if you have that skill) craft the weapon/armour, or get a crafter to do it.

13. You get a drop called Heaven Stones and you can use them to upgrade your gear yourself....

Look, I could go on, but in all fairness, there is more to LC than "its a korean grind game", You just need to play it properly to realise that

Shush val, these punters are mine

LOL just saw your post mate

I must say that Finals RFO deserves an honourable mention, I actually know how much work Final has put into this iteration of RFO, he has worked non stop for months on it........ silly noob

I must also say that Valda deserves an honourable mention for single handedly already pulling in a kabillion ryzom players to Last Chaos! Mostly DCP and Nexus players if im not mistaken. A good game..that I haven't found time for recently!

This game has some really cool concepts and a humongous budget.
It's going to be a real hit /SIZE]

So far pretty few really good alternatives...

For me most interestings are: Tabula Rasa, Pirates of the Burning Sea and maybe even the best; Chronicles of Spellborn.

But all are still in beta....

I think Komi got me with WELL online O.o looking into it now ... depending on a few factors... i might end up here!

EDIT::

this sounds interseting...

The W.E.L.L. Online is built on an entirely different principle. Unlike the usual MMORPG's where most of the time is spent on leveling your character, in our case it happens VERY VERY QUICKLY. But after that a whole endless range of possibilities opens to you.
""

"" PVP
In our case this control looks as follows. Any killing automatically creates an object-evidence visible only to expert detectives. Jointly with the police they catch the criminals, and if the latter's guilt is proven, they will spend some time in penal labor, shifting rocks. The players, who kill by the rules, that is, within the framework of their organizations' quests, are not penalized by the detectives or the police. Thus, anyone willing to match their martial skills is free to do that. While thugs not accustomed to fair play shift rocks in prison camps. Their playing time is wasted meanwhile, and they will think twice next time before attacking in violation of the rules of engagement.

rofl i dunno about that idea.. sounds funny and doesnt apply to me

wait.. is it all in Russian? O.o forums in russian...

xValda:
I beta tested LC and played for a while. Yes it's click to move, the worst way to move a char in a virtual world: just to see chars moving, stop, turn, moving, stop, turn, etc... so not natural.

Anyway my sentence was ended with the word "imho", so it's just my opinion, you are entitled to enjoy that game.

Cool mate wasn't getting at ya

Yeah its a totally different beastie since beta, level cap is I think 70 now abd a new continent opened.

I usually play a ranged character and click to move is awesome for an archer, but I am used to it from Lineage and feel more at home with it, but in all fairness alot of people dont take to it, so I understand what you mean

Kom:

seems that the beta form is only in russian, so no way to apply for the beta....

Pity, i will look forward for this anyway, sounds cool.
