I read the post on MMORPGs that are like SAO and this is my opinion on how the world now has developed MMORPG and which games are most likely be similar to SAO. The perfect MMORPG... that everyone who watch/read SAO is probably waiting for... Personally I find that TERA Online has definitely come close to what we are expecting, except for the virtual reality, graphics, sleep, eat, fish, cook, etc that some people commented on. However the need for any of those skills seem unreasonable in the current MMORPG world since it's not that we can use our five senses for it. For example, if we eat something in the game, we won't know what it tastes like that's just pure bullshit (excuse my language). So for now, it's more effective for game developers to leave it out. GAME SYSTEM: an interface that looks clean and organized. I personally haven't seen a MMORPG with a clean solid interface to use. It's always decorated with random design and sometimes blood etc that just looks messy. It might be to incorporate and build the mood and atmosphere of the game but it's really pointless... I find it really ugly and just creates confusion. Maplestory has a clear interface, and I don't mean its bubbly-cuteness that gets the points but rather the clear, solid, and simplicity. Some messy interface examples (it's my personal opinion so feel free to rage): World of Warcraft and if I want to go to extremes, Runescape (can't believe people still play it...) A good interface (in my opinion) is: Soul Master Soul Master's battle system might seem a bit awkward since aiming and clicking stuff on the interface is both done with the mouse but this can be adapted to Another thing (which I can't clearly say it is or it is not since I haven't played MMORPG for a long time) is point of view. Most games are played like this: you see your character running around. I think that's why I moved to FPS - I don't see me running around. The whole screen view is First Person rather than Third Person and this makes it more realistic. If I'm that character, I want to look through the character's eyes, not watch over it and command it like Im playing interactive chess or something. And it's not really running, they're really slow when moving from area to area... for a game to be realistic, it should definitely be a slow pace movement, but then it should definitely be stamina-based. Now this could definitely be argued by many gamers who want to run for their lives but their stamina isn't gonna cut it. Just to cover this, when your HP is lower than 30% (I was thinking 20% but it sounds unreasonable now - too weak to run?), then your character should be able to run without relying on stamina - should say that it's more adrenalin. Obviously your not going to walk with low stamina when there's a hord of zombies or monsters chasing after you. Kirito definitely does this on the 74th floor? I think when fighting Gleamed Eyes. Think about it, he's standing and withstanding attacks and attacking - it's hard to argue that the system is moving Kirito when using Sword Skills since Kirito could and would have definitely just kneeled down by the damage. Will power - it makes the scene real and if games can incorporate this 'lower than 30% - adrenalin rush' thing, then it could get closer to what we're expecting. A proper chat system is definitely needed. I was just getting the maplestory interface and recognized the big white blob on the screen and I remembered how annoying that white blob was when I'm in the Free Market. Definitely need a clean chat system and rather focus on voice - real time voice chat definitely is more effective in games, and also faster than typing ;) Now this is somewhat flawed since when there are a lot of people at one place, then it's hard to focus on one person's voice. Now this should be recognized by the system as who is speak in front of you and focus on the voices in front and within reach. A distance cap should be developed for this. People won't hear you when you're 10 meters away (just a estimiate - awful, I know) so this really gets a game more realistic. CHARACTER: Characterizability (my new word) - as in how your avatar/character looks is one big aspect to your game. We as gamers don't want every single character in the game to look the same. It's like having another you playing, but with different equipment. That's why I give PERFECT WORLD INTERNATIONAL a thumbs up. It has no restriction what so ever to how your character looks like and can even change your character's bust size ;) Vindictus does this too :) Limiting this doesn't really affect how many players play the game, but I will tell you developers *it will clearly make the player get more attached to the character* What does this mean? More play time from players... is what's expected but I don't do statistics on games so whatever. STORYLINE: The life of any game is clearly it's storyline. No matter how kids love to just battle and slash, stab some monsters, what we find in any game is it's amusing and mesmerizing storyline. Without it, we're basically just killing any monster you find, and it creates a pattern: kill heal kill heal move kill heal move kill heal etc etc. A good storyline must be developed and therefore is something that I think the developers of Final Fantasy, Square Enix has definitely grasped for success. I find it just a bit too long... but it's definitely required for a large scale MMORPG and for a 100 lvl dungeon game like SAO. We can say that ALfheim Online doesn't require such a storyline since it's emphasis is on PvP rather than PvE. But it still had a breathtaking storyline with the CARDINAL SYSTEM constanty developing the quest and story of the world. It's also something we can't expect in our current state. BATTLE SYSTEM: As I started the topic with, TERA Online as definitely got this: a battle system that's more of a real-time system. It's not turn-based (like Final Fatasy), or auto aim (like most other games), but a system which you're attacking and the monster is also attacking and you can dodge by moving rather than a dodge that's based on calculated probability in most games - an Action Combat MMO. For example, Maplestory, Mabinogi are really stiff in its battles - Monsters do not attack you randomly unless you attack first. TERA's combat system is really close to what SAO does (in my opinion). Divines Souls and Vindictus has a action combat system (but I'm not that interested because of its graphics...) I definitely have something against critical hits when it's really attacking the same place over and over again. The monsters should clearly have a weak spot to aim at, and only by attacking that spot should there be any critical damage. We definitely developed the right kind of combat system that incorporates FPS if using bow and arrow or a gun - throwing a spear can be automated, but for accuracy, you can aim yourself, and throw, something that I just thought of. Like Kirito using the weapons throwing skill to catch that rabbit, a game should clearly be able to flip back and forth from TPS style battle to FPS, and back. DEVELOPMENT: As in most upcoming games, There should be a seperate skill level and character level - this means that the skill gets stronger as you use it more often, rather than the character leveling up and then earning skill points. This is like ALO, and you can see that similar skills from SAO are transfered to Kirito's character in ALO. Quests are a big component to the story and the game itself. Of course games with slaughter quests are an epic fail because no one likes to do slaughter quests. It gets boring after a ton of time. Make a story of it at least, like Maplestory does - and I still find those quests boring. Those of you who don't know what slaughter quests are, it's those quests that you get and your mission is to kill 30 of a certain monster or get a certain amount of loot from a certain monster. Lame. Escort missions are another. Make the dude stay behind you like seriously... The AI should definitely be smart enough not to randomly rush into a monster and die - making you redo the quest. - and that's another thing, don't make people redo quests for EXP, that's just plain stupid and it really gives us players a good insight on the developers' focus on the game. If we fail? sure let us redo it but if we finish the quest, don't make it repeatable it's like you developers ran out of ideas and just decided to repeat just to fill in the gap. SAO's concept of finding quests is really superb. I don't want a list of quests that I can do and I can just go to the person and start it. I would rather take an adventure and find the quest myself. Now that's the fun adventuring part of a game. Incorporate that. I guess what I'm looking for is - a game that has the following: TERA Online's combat system Talesweaver or Guild Wars 2's individual storyline for character development World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy's storyline as a whole Vindictus or Skyrim or Elder Scroll's FPS mode which equals to = SAO :) If a game comes out like this, then I would definitely play it and even pay to play it. These aspects are all incorporated in SAO and I believe that's why people are so into the anime itself. It's like the .hack series that had developed all this, except SAO takes it a level higher by incorporating the control by senses into virtual reality. .hack series does have the virtual reality component, but it's controlled with a joystick or game pad. Oh, and note, I'm not that excited about the new SAO game that's coming out... I feel like they're going to ruin it... Thank you for reading and feel free to comment as I'm exciting to read your opinion on MMORPG and the road to develop SAO :) |

Did you really just spend like an hour analyzing and writing this? |
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |

You won't really find all those features in ONE mmo, tbh. Aion has character customization and flight and the whole faction-warfare thing, but it does not really focus on anything else SAO is known for and just bears certain resemblances to Alfheim storyline. Not to mention that it does NOT offer any sort of twitch combat. RaiderZ has the "feel" of the earlier SAO episodes in terms of combat and gigantic encounters, but offers less in terms of character customization. But its the closest you will get to the first arc combat of SAO for now. In a year or two we will be getting Swordsman Online which offers the sandboxy nature of the first SAO story arc(be whatever you want to be, have advanced interactions with NPC, experience game world being affected by thousands of factors like weather changes or seasonal changes affecting what you encounter, etc) and has a factional warfare ideas similar to the second arc. not to mention the game lore and the game itself is based almost entirely on swordfighting. It even has aion/pwi like character creation system. Combat-wise its a mix between RaiderZ movement and dodge usefulness and Guild Wars II. But of course aesthetically it won't remind of SAO. Currently we have(or soon will have if you are not in the closed beta), Age of Wulin, which is also using similar ideas to Swordsman. However while Swordsman is more of SAO first arc with mix of bits of second, Age of Wulin is more like the second arc - no levels, no classes pvp driven factional warfare between 7 factions, with ability to switch faction or just split from any factions. Of course combat wise its nothing like SAO, since it uses more of a rock/paper/scissors system with an active dodge, blocking and parkour mixed in. |

SAO's end game/progression doesn't make sense. 1 time boss spawns and there's only 100 of em, the lifespan of the game won't be long because it will play like any normal single player game, and it alienates the casual crowd from even seeing the bosses, since the hardcore will be on alot longer and will kill the bosses long before anyone gets a chance. |

This assumes that casuals want to kill bosses more than dancing naked in the center of town or collecting pets/mounts. |

Ok, so I registered only to tell you guys this. There is a game from 1998, called Ultima Online. Its so similar to SAO that im almost 100% sure they stole this idea from ultima. Its basically sandbox mmo game, where you can do basically everything. I wont tell all its features, but it has almost everything sao does. In general, you can murder anyone, anywhere and when you do so, you can loot everything they had on them, even armor/weapon. Same can be done to you. If other guy ran away you can use tracking skill to track him down. It will tell you in which direction he ran and how long ago. There are 30+ different skills, each can be maxed up to 100%. The more you use certain skill, the better you are with it. No classes, you can be knight, rogue, mage, crafter etc in one character. Since all items are essentially crafted by players, this game have player driven economy. A guy with mining/blacksmithing 100% will have huge demand, as he is only one who can craft AND repair your armor/weapons. Best part about this game is, its best pvp system I have seen in all my life, hands down. Each spell have different effect and casting time. People exploit this feature. For example, you are casting high damage spell with casting time 3.5 sec. I see that, and cast very low damage spell on you, which has casting time 1 sec. Since I cast spell with lower casting time, it will damage you before you finish casting your spell. By doing so, you will fail at casting your spell, because you received damage while casting. It will say "your spell fizled". Also, if in the moment when you finish casting your spell I am not in your line of sight, your spell also will fail. So I can run behind a three or other objects. To start casting spell opponent doesnt need to be in line of sight, therefore this gives excellent opportunity to cast your spell while youre hiding behind object (hence not being in my line of sight) and walking out just before spell casting finishes. This is only about mage pvp system. Not mentioning features like poison, stun (paralize) and other features you saw in sao. There are also knights, rogues, archers each with different play styles. Housing, boats, rideable mounts, pets who assist you in attacks etc. Huge arsenal of armors. Unlike other mmo's, in ultima you have several equally good armors/weapons which only differs in stats so you must think for yourself and choose correct piece of equipment for your current skill build and play style. No other game have so complex pvp system with such rewards. If you like sao and dont play ultima, you can just as well go and kill yourself right now, as you are missing out best time in your life. PS- this game was designed so that players would actually live and die in there. Its was meant as second world where you can live in. People in real life have been tracked down and beaten because of their in-game words and actions. I have seen it myself. Admin of one other server simply put one player in jail because that player told him his opinion about this server. Result was that jailed player got together his real life friends, went to capital city, found apartment of that admin, and waited until he comes out... and he did. And this is only MY experience, about ONE server located in MY country. I have no clue what other incidents have happened across to globe with other people and with more popular servers, but Im sure as hell incidents have happened A LOT. I will give you best server out of them all and also most popular one, with almost no restrictions in player interaction whatsoever And remember, if you quit game couz its too harsh and hard for you, its not because game sucks, its simply couz ur too much of a noob ;) http://uo.theabyss.eu/?shard |

About Tera Online, You can't customize what you wear, Unlike WoW where you have thousands of items to choose from, Tera has a bunch but most people would be seen wearing it as its an outfit not multipul parts of equiptment. I would suggest for closest to Sword Art Online or more Precise ALfeime as it is Very considerably close Perfect World International. Gun Gale Online Would be a shooting game from Perfect World Games, And Sword Art Online Tera online Sword Art Online: Tera Online ALfieme: Perfect World International Gun Gale Online: Black Light Retribution |

There is this game "DOFUS" which i find a lot of similarities with SAO. In here you can choose between 15 race. You level up, there are many cities which you can explore, there are tons of different equipments/sets that you can use and modify, there are guilds, pvp,pvm, wars between guilds, alliances, you can marry someone else, there are pets, you can have your own house. Its a good game, give it a try! |

Runescape came out in 2007 jan 4th Which is now known as runescape classic or Old school runescape. Don't lower yourself to calling people names just cause his opinion is extreme doesnt mean he's PERSONALLY insulting you. If for some reason you read his message an wanted to say something crude to a person who did their best to explain why they love that game. Then it is NOT your place to crash on that. We all have our own likes and dislikes. I think xownsrlox nailed his review. Ofcourse without the virutal reality games no game can really be "feeling" like SAO or ALO. Therefore most people think after watching the anime. "Do they have games like this?" or "When are they going to make a game like this?" If you search enough you'll find out we're about 15-20 years to getting that experience. I will be there when they do have it, I know my first thought will be "Finally. A game of a life time experience" And for you to call anyone a nerd is a tad overboard. If you played a MMO your a nerd. Plus You've nooooo clue if this person is a buff dude who could falcon pwanch you into next week or a disabled person not able to leave they're house, Or perhaps they a person like most of the population and are healthy. And i find another thing funny is cause your criticizing him about how bad his game is and having a crappy computer and all that. Yet you don't know what he's experienced as well as calling him a nerd lol. Remind me. Whats this title forum about? LOL SAO The ultimate MMO you cant help but be a nerd. Cause the ONLY reason people found this certain page is cause. the keywords were something along the lines of. Games like SAO Im finished here. A lesson to learn here Zero is that you have Zero facts about what you claim. cause Opinions aren't stable. Facts are. |

Game in mind- Mabinogi. I'd love to explain in full detail about the awesome of this game and how it can relate so much SAO, ALO, AND even Gun Gale Online, but to put it in 3 words: Perfect Fantasy Life |

There is a game from 1998, called Ultima Online. Its so similar to SAO that im almost 100% sure they stole this idea from ultima. Its basically sandbox mmo game, where you can do basically everything. I wont tell all its features, but it has almost everything sao does. In general, you can murder anyone, anywhere and when you do so, you can loot everything they had on them, even armor/weapon. Same can be done to you. If other guy ran away you can use tracking skill to track him down. It will tell you in which direction he ran and how long ago. There are 30+ different skills, each can be maxed up to 100%. The more you use certain skill, the better you are with it. No classes, you can be knight, rogue, mage, crafter etc in one character. Since all items are essentially crafted by players, this game have player driven economy. A guy with mining/blacksmithing 100% will have huge demand, as he is only one who can craft AND repair your armor/weapons. Best part about this game is, its best pvp system I have seen in all my life, hands down. Each spell have different effect and casting time. People exploit this feature. For example, you are casting high damage spell with casting time 3.5 sec. I see that, and cast very low damage spell on you, which has casting time 1 sec. Since I cast spell with lower casting time, it will damage you before you finish casting your spell. By doing so, you will fail at casting your spell, because you received damage while casting. It will say "your spell fizled". Also, if in the moment when you finish casting your spell I am not in your line of sight, your spell also will fail. So I can run behind a three or other objects. To start casting spell opponent doesnt need to be in line of sight, therefore this gives excellent opportunity to cast your spell while youre hiding behind object (hence not being in my line of sight) and walking out just before spell casting finishes. This is only about mage pvp system. Not mentioning features like poison, stun (paralize) and other features you saw in sao. There are also knights, rogues, archers each with different play styles. Housing, boats, rideable mounts, pets who assist you in attacks etc. Huge arsenal of armors. Unlike other mmo's, in ultima you have several equally good armors/weapons which only differs in stats so you must think for yourself and choose correct piece of equipment for your current skill build and play style. No other game have so complex pvp system with such rewards. If you like sao and dont play ultima, you can just as well go and kill yourself right now, as you are missing out best time in your life. PS- this game was designed so that players would actually live and die in there. Its was meant as second world where you can live in. People in real life have been tracked down and beaten because of their in-game words and actions. I have seen it myself. Admin of one other server simply put one player in jail because that player told him his opinion about this server. Result was that jailed player got together his real life friends, went to capital city, found apartment of that admin, and waited until he comes out... and he did. And this is only MY experience, about ONE server located in MY country. I have no clue what other incidents have happened across to globe with other people and with more popular servers, but Im sure as hell incidents have happened A LOT. I will give you best server out of them all and also most popular one, with almost no restrictions in player interaction whatsoever And remember, if you quit game couz its too harsh and hard for you, its not because game sucks, its simply couz ur too much of a noob ;) http://uo.theabyss.eu/?shard PS - Freaks like you are just weak you escape reality so you can't be fooled,tricked or heart brokened by other because you are weak you can't take the fact that you being hurt by others because you give up being a human and became a person who never existed in reality.You just ran thats all you did you ran from reality because you can't face it.You just a wimp too scared of reality that you ran to somewhere that doesn't exist.Your just useless that you can't face reality. (You some what reminds me of the useless character from Chaos;Head Nishijou Takumi useless at first but became useful in the end but you,you will always remain as a useless pig forever) Zero. Runescape came out in 2007 jan 4th Which is now known as runescape classic or Old school runescape. Don't lower yourself to calling people names just cause his opinion is extreme doesnt mean he's PERSONALLY insulting you. If for some reason you read his message an wanted to say something crude to a person who did their best to explain why they love that game. Then it is NOT your place to crash on that. We all have our own likes and dislikes. I think xownsrlox nailed his review. Ofcourse without the virutal reality games no game can really be "feeling" like SAO or ALO. Therefore most people think after watching the anime. "Do they have games like this?" or "When are they going to make a game like this?" If you search enough you'll find out we're about 15-20 years to getting that experience. I will be there when they do have it, I know my first thought will be "Finally. A game of a life time experience" And for you to call anyone a nerd is a tad overboard. If you played a MMO your a nerd. Plus You've nooooo clue if this person is a buff dude who could falcon pwanch you into next week or a disabled person not able to leave they're house, Or perhaps they a person like most of the population and are healthy. And i find another thing funny is cause your criticizing him about how bad his game is and having a crappy computer and all that. Yet you don't know what he's experienced as well as calling him a nerd lol. Remind me. Whats this title forum about? LOL SAO The ultimate MMO you cant help but be a nerd. Cause the ONLY reason people found this certain page is cause. the keywords were something along the lines of. Games like SAO Im finished here. A lesson to learn here Zero is that you have Zero facts about what you claim. cause Opinions aren't stable. Facts are. well actually Slammerbit, RuneScape came out in 2001, in 2007 is when they started to update a lot more, however many people preferred the Classic, that's when they bought in all the massive world events etc. so that's why there is now, RuneScape 3, RuneScape 07 and RuneScape Classic just passed by as I was checking out SAO and noticed this little scuffle, and thought I'd correct it, seeing 6years off of the actual date isn't right at all... people really shouldn't argue and insult each other over something like this, sadly, Virtual Reality games like this aren't possible yet, seeing it's gotta interfere with our brain waves, that's just not possible yet.. anyways, ciao for now peeps |
you know, I once said I'd never get addicted to something... well I'm still not Forum Avatar Size needs an update to atleast 600kb instead of 51kb, can barely have any gif in here unless it's black and white aaaand they need to allow gifs -_- |

AirStyles said: replace TERA's combat system to Dragon Nest and we'll talk. No, the fights are not sped up in the slightest. First person shooter "Crosshair" aiming type fast pace action MMORPG... That actually looks pretty interesting, that game is fairly recent huh? I played a bit of terra online but i though it kind of lacked content, imo aion is a better MMO, the only thing i absolutely hate bout is the laggy servers and the game as a whole is just full of lag, especially during air combat. I been looking for a good MMO, one that is similar to SAO where you can own housing, propose, take up all kinds of professions like crafting, raid fights and something similar to like PKing in SAO would be nice to. I am mostly a solo player like Kirito or maybe pick a party and go through the game with a few friends but i like a game with some good competition and good pvp systems as well. |

What i feel is we will nvr make these gamea like soa till we focus more on virtual reality whicth wont happen as long as companies like sony and Microsoft focus on one system till they cant make any money i know they have vew virtual sytems like occulus but we will need a company to focus on that alone so we could really taste feel eat maby even feel pain nowadays games are similar and lack a challenge or excitement that i used to feel and crave as a kid |

I am watching sao and it came to thinking ever since I started. I have been looking for agame exactly like sao but not like how the story goes like its a real game that its a free roam. Its hard to explain, like the game is exacly like sao on a computer or system but that doesnt involve kirito or any of them. like its a real game but not in nerve gear. Just a computer or something. Even though it would be awesome if something like that was real. |

Guys if you have come this far reading, we now have a game that has a lot of mechanics in common with what SAO pretends to be. The Elder Scrolls Online has everything listed above and more. A big con however is the community:Beeing it less open to co-operation than most MMOs, it gives the gameplay kind of a single player feeling. Playing with friends is highly suggested. |
