Text RPGs: Reading vs Comprehension - Page 3

Reading the first post on this page I had to die 6 times to take it slowly. It's what we are used to these days in online games, a very fast tutorial, a 7 day grace period where you can't die :) or fail.... .and a forum that tells you step by step what to do.
ROK II is really unique in this aspect, and this is why I stuck around, although I died so many times and it took me another week to build up the FP needed for another character. I don't need treasure in ROK II, I have a LIVE character. *laugh*.

Giving people tools to work on their ways and make them find their own paths is surely much more rewarding than chewing the food and feeding the offsprings without any consideration about constructing their future for themselves.

I agree. Now adays their's not much reading or having to really understand what you're reading, but that makes this an interesting game because of that.

I read and I comprehend and yet I still die. *smile*
Still, I continue making a new character, with each a different story, and different possibilities. And I'm having a great time in the forums like this one.
