to be more precise
even those "kill something" or get X item quests in WoW have story
and they make sense to some point

not some totally random stuffs like "kill loads of toads in the middle of a desert to collect pieces of papers to repair some NPC's house"

I've played a x1000 private RO server. It tends to get boring after you reach max level and the only real thing to do is make a SinX and gank ppl. I now play WoW and I play it avidly. It's very fun if you can find the right quests. Especially the ones that are there for the fun.

[url=#user_comment_63811]@Jagos[/url]: WoW's "Grind" isn't even one. They give you a ton of quest that have you do a ton of different things than to just go kill something or get X item. Helps it a ton.

There is the never-ending gear grind, but after playing Aion with the horrendous drop rates, it's not too bad.

That said, I'll have to pick up Maple Story again, and maybe Silk Road Online if they've actually toned down the insane grinds.
Jade
over 13 years ago
There's also the concept of Rest Experience in WoW [and similar MMOs], where if you actually log off for a while, you get 'rewarded' with a shorter grind.

But especially now that you can recruit people and level together with 300% experience up to level 60, it's very easy to level...

Not comparatively, at least. WoW has a helluva gear grind ...but at least you have something to "show" for it. Your character looks different.

You need iron fortitude to AOE the same mobs on the same map for over a year, off and on, to get to late-middle-game (let alone endgame) of Korean MMOs.
Tull the Blacksmith
over 13 years ago
In Ragnarok Online, I had my leveling strat down, but quit at level 95. I calculated that it would take me 108 hours of raw mob grinding - not including resupply runs - to get from level 95 to 99. It takes YEARS to get to max level.

That's why WoW is NOT a grindy game.

maple story is a bit of a grind, but i find it more entertaining then WoW at times
Taig
over 13 years ago
People saying WoW is a grind have no idea what the word means. Doing lots of quests isn't grinding, because you are moving to new places, killing new things, etc. Sitting in MapleStory holding down attack for 5 hours killing thousands of the same monsters to level once is grinding.
Chaos
over 13 years ago
Maplestory has since had a big list of changes, the biggest being the EXP curve was made drastically easier to deal with. No more killing monsters 10 levels above you and getting .000001%.

Unfortunately the big problem now(in my eyes anyway) is how BADLY Nexon is whoring out microtransactions. :|

Most korean games are good for their graphics but they take a shit ton of time to level up like Maple story and Ragnarok online. And also the person named "Korean" thats got a bit of swearing in there. for example 개새끼야 means like b!tch and 시발 means f**k (yes i can read korean)

If you guys are using Google translate for your korean comments, I'm amazed at how good it's become. Still a little funky grammatically, but actually understandable.

It is a trend of making some cheap knock-off MMORPGs with 'A casual, easy-to-play game with huge chances of getting items and levels! No need to grind! Come and play it!' labels on 'em in Korea nowadays.
Of course we just play WoW.

I used to play MapleStory and got bored of it real quick.
The free-to-play Korean game of choice for me now is Luna Online. At any level here are mobs that give you 0.15% or more per kill. Most of the quests give anywhere from 5% to 20% towards your next level. There's no grinding at all.

Rival Forces Online (discontinued in the west, Codemasters iirc).
Now THAT was a grind fest (1 in 1000 Mobs drops items for quests, around 10 base XP/Mon & 1.ooo.ooo XP to reach Lv2, Equipment even rarer,Skills have their own XP bar coupled to your Charlevel,etc)
The graphics where quite nice tho

[url=#user_comment_63596]@LolScout[/url]: ok, then can you please explain the ones that are not grind fests, because I went to many KO/JP MMOs and level up relatively fast. and also explain to me how WOW is NOT a grind fest, well its probably not anymore, but a few years ago you had to take a few days to level up.

Played my time lineage 2 and then jumped around multiple f2p mmorpgs until found DDO. It really is different from other mmorpgs. Not only there is very little grind but many quests can bedone without slaughtering everything. There is even bonus for not killing anyone during the quest.
Herp
over 13 years ago
[url=#user_comment_63576]@Scout[/url]: No... You can get that in 'a few'. That really is not recognized as the standard. As like people have mentioned with Lineage, Ragnarok, etc. Those are the kinds and grinds that were established and alluded to.

You know, since the Renewal, Ragnarök online has just the right amount of XP coming: Much easier than it was before, but it's still one hell of a grind. Considering that is the entire point of the game, that's the way it should be.
