Mortal online 2
I got my fix for this experience through PvP minecraft servers, but not sure if any are still around today that are worth playing
Every mc pvp server I looked at had wonderful "Supporter packs"
I was going to recommend Worlds Adrift, but looking it up for this post is the way I discovered it was shut down 5 years ago lol
I did not realize it had been that long since I played it. Sadge
Game was fun and had a lot of potential, it’s a shame it didn’t get popular enough.
My brain is like "I played that game just like... last year right?"
Nah bro, you played that in high school, which was most certainly not last year.
Albion online seems like a good fit for you, although based on your location your ping will massively vary since they only have a few centralised servers.
I see gold is for sale in the shop, is store bought gold a big influence in the game? Or pretty irrelevant?
Pretty much the same as PLEX in Eve. If that was p2w for you, then this will be p2w for you too.
Actually come to think of it, it's worse in the regard that gold prices have an impact on the game. The lower the conversion rate of gold to silver drops below 1:5000 the higher the global discount on repairs, travel, islands etc.
I mean... in eve you were allowed to straight up buy perfect characters or skill injectors, then the isk to buy a ship. So you could have a newbie with the same character power as a 3 year old player.
My brain does not like grinding games with strong P2W aspects, it messes with me.
Albion has "skill injectors" too. There are tradeable tomes with which, if you were to spend enough money on it, you could almost max your character.
Keep in mind I'm just trying to paint you a picture here, so you can decide whether it fits for you. I'd still recommend trying Albion. It's a small install and free to try after all.
Yeah but that person would suck. A player with experience will beat a credit card warrior every time.
Brain says bad. Because I'll be there, working on trying to get a new shiny ship and then the brain is like... "You make 40$ an hour overtime. That's a lot more ship than doing this." or "instead of checking in on your skill queue every day for two years to make sure it's optimal $300 worth of plex and you have your dream toon. "
And yeah... I know myself. I need to avoid games that make that lil voice pop up.
Entirely fair objection. I've won eve too and at least partially due to increasing monotization
i haven't played it that much since my ping was atrocious, but i would say no. IIRC beside membership and cosmetics that you can buy with gold, i think you can covert it into silver which you can use to progress faster and even buy gear but you won't gain an unfair advantage or get something that's exclusive to the MTX shop.
you should read what experienced players have written if you want a more detailed explanation, im just sort of vaguely familiar with the game.
