Topic: Dungeon Runners

And as a complete opposite to Felgund's post, I've started playing Dungeon Runners. a game devoid of any RP, using an MMORPG.com key giveaway. It's great fun if you enjoyed Diablo 2, as it largely mimics Diablo's gameplay, and features a massive dungeon for people to play through (lots of phat loot too). One of the great points of the game is its humour, because it manages to be funny without necessarily detracting from the feeling of playing a hack-and-slash (An ice mountain area populated with Ice Orok Protesters, who are demonstrating to inform the kingdom about warming in the area. Also lead by an Orok named Algor). The grouping system also happens to be the best I've ever played with, and nearly any special thing like resetting your dungeon instances or finding a group to play with just takes a right click on your character name/health bar.

The game is only available by referral from a current player because it's still technically an incomplete build (only 0.49, not all quests are implemented and art for armors/weapons is still being added), but I can help anyone who wants in. It's also completely free unless you want to pay the $5.99 membership fee which gets you access to stackable health and mana potions, a bank for extra inventory in town, and access to the upper tiers of armor and weapons.

Re: Dungeon Runners

Why don't I try it, since I've made it my hobby exploring as many MMOG's as possible?

RP in MMOG's looks like this when trying to base it on in-game activities:
"Let's go <activity>!"
"Yay, <activity>!"
"<motivation>!"

Re: Dungeon Runners

As soon as I actually get it running again and stuff big_smile They released patch 0.51 and I haven't been able to get the update. (Of course every computer I don't regularly have access to has been able to get it successfully)

Re: Dungeon Runners

Wheri, just give me an e-mail address to send you the invite. I got DR back up with some tech support help, they're using BITS to download patches and updates and it conflicts with firewalls even if you give the launchers process access.

Re: Dungeon Runners

Well, I had some minor computer breakdown that resulted in the loss of several passwords (Oh noes, I lost my IdleRPG chars!). It's all (mostly) fixed now, and I've started playing DR. And yes, it's funny and it mimics the first Diablo quite closely.

And it has a good community with a sense of humour.

Re: Dungeon Runners

I'm going to be reinstalling the Play NC launcher to try to get back to version 1.0.8 instead of the trial 1.0.14 so I can try out the new 0.53 quests, so lookout for Lindstodt on World 2 sometime, probably this weekend. If anyone else wants in, the game is quite good for whittling some hours away, is pretty funny, and the community is surprisingly low on assholes. Just send me an e-mail and I'll send you an invite.

Re: Dungeon Runners

Well, not too surprisingly for an invitation-only game with 70 players online :)

Re: Dungeon Runners

Thanks for the invite Sandling... gave it a very brief try today (30 mins) and it seems like the type of game for people who need a diablo fix smile

Will try it some more this weekend

Re: Dungeon Runners

It's very, very much a Diablo fix. I first played it with my brother for nearly 11 hours, by the end of it we felt like we'd conquered so many epic battles (we charge ahead like idiots a lot of the time), that we needed to watch a horrible fantasy movie like Conan to calm down.

Re: Dungeon Runners

Oh yeah, Wheri, I'm not sure if it's 70 people, or 70% world population, because I've seen World 1 reach 132 on a stress test, and I doubt it would take only 132 people to do that to an MMORPG server.
