Title: "Order & Chaos" - WOW for the iPad
Post by: Rico on May 06, 2011, 02:24:32 PM
Heard about this MMO game the other day on "The Instance" podcast.  It's an MMORPG for your iPad, iPhone, etc.  Made by Gameloft and it looks very World of Warcraft like.  Maybe it's a good thing I don't have an iPad yet to play this on.  Looks like fun.   :knight :orc

Made by Gameloft = instant ignore. 

But there are a few MMO games on the iOS store now.

Huh??  Why do you say that?  Scott on "The Instance" says it's a lot of fun.

Ignoring that Gameloft is under Ubisoft who I have a lot of issues with their overzealous DRM policies....
I feel like Gamelofts are nothing but PC/Console ports over to the iOS systems that come out buggy and expensive.  That's just one of many gripes.

I'm not really much for MMO's, but THIS looks COOL. I may have to take a look at this!!

This looks so cool! I loved my Infinity Blade game on the iPad.

Never been into mmo games but it would be nice to okay some sort of online multiplayer realtime game on the iPad.

I've got a lot of research to do.

While this is a total ripoff everything I've heard about it is that it's fun. I actually have two buddies who got their starts at Gameloft.

A wise man once said, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."  And if you are going to "rip off" something, why not rip off the best?  Believe it or not, WOW took many things from the original EQ MMO game (which I played for years).  Anyway, I'll definitely be giving this a try once I snag an iPad.  :)

I'm still not going to lift my ban on Gameloft/Ubisoft games.  Until they apologize for their overzealous DRM policies, (which is never) I'll spend my $$ elsewhere.  This is just my personal conviction, I believe that the current implementation of DRM is wrong. 

Anyway, hope its fun for you Rico :)

Playing it a little now, it's pretty fun!  And super cheap when it comes to MMO's.  Runs like butter on my iPad 2 so far.

I may have to get this now!

Pretty fun game so far.  Runs really well on the iPad.  A bit tricky after years of playing WOW and other MMO's to get used to moving, fighting and so on with just touch, but it comes pretty easily.  Anyway, I'm enjoying it so far.

I'll download and give this a play.  How easy is it to hook up with other players?

I guess it's pretty easy.  Just been playing solo mainly.  There are a few servers to pick from.

I've been missing WoW lately, but not enough to reup my subscription.  Maybe this will fill the void.  What server are y'all on?

I have a mage named Reico on the Tear Coast server.

We should start a Guild!
Title: Re: "Order & Chaos" - WOW for the iPad
Post by: Jobydrone on June 23, 2011, 07:39:57 AM
I'm in...I chose the most populated server but I'm only about 45 minutes played so I don't mind starting over.

When I was figuring out the chat controls, I send a message over global chat that said "greetings" and I immediately got a reply back privately "F*** You" so I think I might want to play with friends only

Joby - isn't that the universal greeting in games online?  ;)

My WoW guild is on the Arcadian Forest server (I think). So if you're looking for a big group of friendly people check it out. If/when I get an iPad I'll try this game out. I can't picture myself playing it on the phone.

I thought you were AIE?

I am indeed in AIE. They started an unofficial guild on that server in Order & Chaos.

Getting more into this game. It's really a lot of fun. Easy to pick up and play for a little or a lot.
