I am a lv.125, guild leader, nation king. I like this game and I am not gonna quitting but the truth is the truth and this is it:

Yes this game is one of a kind, very enjoyable at any level, requires stragey and is not boring as some others, I did not have to grind until up to lv.119, not even a little. I played 5 other MMORPG and they'll bored me except AO;

BUT

prepare LOT lot lot of real money for their mall items, you can't do without unless you wanna be just another mediocre player. You'll never get pass level 105 without it and with a decent gear that can somehow hope to kill Sedna or Brook.  It was possible to play at any level as free player until 2-3 patches ago. Every patch now is just intended to cut free players.

Try it by yourself, no reason not to, don't have to listen to me or anyone else, best experience is made personally. Just don't wine later when it happens. Enjoy the fun ( a lot ) when you are lv.95-

Also, AO do not care about high levels anymore, so you'll find litle of them left, that will be an obstacle when trying to sell items for high level players.

the reason why a lvl 50 can pvp a level 70 is because the game automatically lowers the ability of the higher level player, similar to that of a level sync system in final fantasy xi.

Hmm its funny when people flame reviewers from giving their opinion....how do you know he didnt take it far? i quit atlantica long ago when cap was 120 and my character was on Macedon lvl 113.  the game has alot of goods during the beginning but like he said after 95 its all about spending the cash to even make it further. Try doing end game without having your blessing pots or doing fast grinding without spamming scrolls. Oh wait how about getting a Mount you just really wanted but you spent over $100 just to end up with a bunch of crap?

dont say im the only one and this game revolves around being one of the best.  The best keep getting rewarded from farming off the weak in pvp....And u can still check my char out his name is Etile and i gave it away long with the rest of my shit that i spent hundreds of dollars tryin to get

 stamina isnt a problem once you are in a guild where they craft alot, giving you craft exp to reach level 11 quickly and giving you the abiltiy to teach others the craft also and in return giving you both exp and stamina. I myself reached lvl 104 and its a tad bit boring due to the fact that many monsters at that level are tougher than usual. I also was in CB and still playing. There are also many ways of leveling or grinding exp :

Indy dungeons (dungeons wher 1-3 players party up and fight monsters and finishing the limit befor time runs out. Rewards are monsters give more exp than usual and a special weapon reward at the end)

PvP (you get lots of exp and gold from this method)

Guild dungeons (explains itself)
Reset able quests 

Exp Books

I myself have stopped playing atlantica recently due to the fact that i collected nearly all of the mercenaries except ones that are very expensive to maintain. and waiting for new content to be released in the English version.

why would you say it's just point and click. of course it is, almost all games are. If you tried to just point and click your way thru a pvp battle you would die so fast tho. If your not thinking about what your doing, it means your not going to get into the game. no wonder you left as soon as they added the stam system. You couldn't sit there like a human bot anymore clicking your life away. why can you just say, the game is not for you, but maybe someone else will like it, is it that hard to believe that people like different things. I'm smart enough to know that there is nothing wrong with atlantica, its just that you dont like the game.  

after you said that, i can tell you really dont like mmorpg games, so why even talk about them.

please share the other 3d turn based mmorpg games with me. ( i believe you, i just would like to check them out)

and i said it could be the best game ever. many people that play it will agree. (I hate having to point out the fact that the person that replied to me, didn't understand what I said.

I have found everything I want from a game, in atlantica. so to me it is the best. I have played many mmorpg games before i found this one. Now people that play WoW feel the same about there game. Its all about the game play you want. ( I sound out of bent when i reply to blogs. because i only reply if they piss me off. I dont waste my time talking crap about games that others might like.)

To JusticArts

How can you say its the best game ever? It must be the only game you ever played..haha ..And yes there are other 3d turn base games..You just don't know because you are in Atlantica land forever...:P

Did we hurt your feeling because we said the truth to what Atlantica really is? You seem bent out of shape over it..haha

And one more thing it don't take real smarts to play this game..Its point,click and repeat,and grind like hell,Spend allot of money in the Item mall so that you can be the number one Urber.What a joke..

o and there is nothing wrong with the stamina system. I have been playing this game for a while now, and it has never bugged me. When people make a game, they make it fun. there is not going to be somthing in the game that isn't fair ( there is a reason for everything)

!!!!!!!!!   IF YOU LIKE TURN BASED RPG GAMES, YOU WILL LIKE ATLANTICA ONLINE. BE SURE YOU DON'T LET REVIEWS LIKE THESE, DESIDE WHAT YOU THINK IS FUN, BC IF YOU DO.... YOU COULD MISS OUT ON THE BEST GAME EVER.  !!!!!!!

???? how can you say any of that stuff about one of the best games ever. Think about it dude. lvl 120 to 130. thats only 10 lvls. of course its going to take for ever...... who wants to hit max lvl again so fast. The idea is to make the game last.

What I want to know is.... why are there people like you? that take the time to blog this? Let people play the game and choose for there self if they want to go past 95.

Atlantica is one of a kind. There are no other 3d turn based mmo games. I hope everyone that reads this guys post, reads all the way down to my post. bc i want to let everyone know...... Atlantica is a great game, that takes real smarts to play. Its a game where a lvl 50 can beat a lvl 70 in pvp, if the lvl 50 has a better stratagy. so who cares how fast you lvl when you hit end game. Thats the way all mmo game should be. True mmorpg fans find plenty of stuff to do in there games to have fun. They dont worrie about getting to max in a hurry, and then call it quits.

what is the stamina system?

The next patch won't have the level 130 cap. lol

I was in CB before stamina system and wow i loved that game, it sooo vast then stamina came and i couldnt grind for an hour, it just runs out so quickly then you have to wait for another hour for it to come back? I stayed for a couple days, while i waited for my stamina to come back i crafted. But i couldnt take the waiting any longer.. =[

great game i guess in its own way but wayyy too annoying for the veteran mmo players..

Also, I 4got to add, I'm with AxleRose on this one too. nDoor try to force you to play a certain way and we tried to protest for us to have the right to play any way we want. ironic, instead of letting us grind slowly, they want us to rush through their content and level up faster. Now when they run out, they make everyone grind, trying to force them to slow down.

I feel no sympathy for you newcomers who just ignored us and say we're idiots and shove our opinions away when we were obviously thinking ahead for the company. I order to get more regconition due to their damage reputation of the game, they had to partner up with nDoor.

You guys got what you deserve.

i quit once stamina implamented, than i went back to play as a change of place, 20 battles a day or less while i focus on other mmorpg. all of a sudden, i learn we are not allow to level up and go through the content very slowly and deprive us of our loots and such. waste of my time playing while trying to bear the stamina system.

i played CBT as well, it was easy during then, i got to level 36 in 3days playing about 5hours a day minimum, then stamina hit in open, im like...no thanks and uninstalled

I was in beta when they added the Stamina to the game..It was a full blown nightmare.Allot of us left because of it..We tried to warn the New Players what was coming after the game went full released..They (New Players) kind a shove us under the matt sort of speak..I don't feel bad for the players..Enjoy the grind like we enjoy our Stamina..Oh and don't for get to bring the wallet if you want to be urber, its going to cost the players..This is one game i wish it did not make it...
