    Long past time for Linux to be set aside. Shit on windows too. We desperately need a return to early DOS and CP/M days. With the TRS-80 OS ecosystem, OSes were simple and command line, and any hacking was extremely easy and fast to detect. The power of the command line let you wipe out any hackers super super fast. Enough of this Windows GUI and hiding things from users shit. GUI is only for losers. Return the power to the devs.

    Raiding, including GW2’s raids is generally about PVE. It gets boring and repetitive. Wheres in a proper RvR open pvp mmo, the games’ events naturally create its own dynamic RvR open pvp raids. For example, right now this week in Champions of Regnum, the realm of Syrtis seems to be dominating the realm war, but in a large disorganised fashion. So the current raid mechanic underway is an attempt by the realm of Alsius to fight hard, fighting back harder than ever before, dying in large numbers without giving quarter. A few Alsius players seem to be leading the battles, slowly teaching newer players how to battle, how to support, and new strategies in timing and how to build and use your characters’ abilities beyond the current frontiers. That’s the current PvP raid mechanic in the game. Unlike GW2, it doesn’t tend to repeat, Next week, next month is likely t be completely different.



  • Strong points:

    1. Low spec engine, full 3D
    2. Active ongoing RvR open pvp
    3. Chill community, everybody is in it for the roleplay of intense RvR, but nobody gets mad at dying or killing (it’s like a sports match in some ways).

    Why pick Regnum over Albion:

    1. View perspective is different. Top down, different state of situational awareness.
    2. Regnum’s abilities are less like a moba, and more like DnD. They take more puzzling.
    3. Main server of Regnum is like a holiday in a Latin American country (with 3 flavours for factions: Forest elves, Mountain dwarves, Desert demons).

    Why pick Regnum over RoR:

    1. No gender locking of classes, artwork in Regnum may be more appealing.
    2. View perspective and feel of Regnum is different in war, different situational awareness.
    3. Main server of Regnum is like a holiday in a Latin American country.

    Why pick Regnum over Eve:

    1. Eve is more of a spreadsheet big space sim war
    2. Regnum is more of fantasy magic world
    3. Regnum let’s you experience chill war in a cool, scenic, forest/snow/mountain setting.

    Overall negative points for Regnum:

    1. Gets a lot of bad press.
    2. Some regard the interface as clunky, but overall the engine is fine.
    3. Old somewhat DnD style abilities.

    Feel free to ask more questions. Actually, all the game mentioned are solid industry players in mmos. It’s good if they all grow the genre together.
