Hiring System
Hire your companions!
The players can now choose to hire 6 different «companions» to open different functions either on land or sea to fulfill the automatic missions. This is a great system to get help in the trickiest phases of the game or let one's game-play unroll by itself during a little break!
For instance, with the «mob killing function », the player can use all his skills to steer and maneuver his vessel, while his "companion" automatically shoots the chosen targets. The player can have activated beforehand the auto-selection of the targets (those to ignore, those to flee, those to attack).

The «auto pick-up»: the companion picks up objects dropped by defeated enemies and there again, the player can have decided beforehand the auto-selection of items according to their type and rarity. The «auto-repair » : the companion automatically uses the repair items (hull and sails) as soon as the boat reaches a certain level of damage... The «fatigue recover » : a barmaid serves spirits to maintain moral among the sailors. The 3 types of «fatigue » (navigation, 2«combat and skill use) go up more slowly if the player activates the 3 corresponding options...
Pretty stupid how some people call this a WOW clone. I certainly understand that WOW is big in the US as the US have not evolved in the future mmo genre but do
understand that the art styles of Tera, Lineage 2, ZerA are very similar because it's KOREAN MODERN CONCEPT ART (fit in your head) just like WOW has very weird art styles, asians go for a very commercial and attractive look. I look forward to playing Tera since the gameplay looks wicked and the UI is plain and simple. If you are not into korean MMOs and only support games such as WOW then don't play. Though I'm sure TerA will set fire just like Blade & Soul will.
WoW is EQ clone its a fact do ur research if u think its not. And wow WAS the "shit" pre bc. Onyxia, Molten Core, BWL NAxxx 40 man raids were the BEST which made WOW the BEST MMORPG but since BC came it became a grindfest then blizzard decided 2 nerf the name 2 the ground ( no req to get into hyjal or black temple ) and now they just nerf'd the shit outa ulduar so GG blizzard 4 killing a great MMO but its not their fault its the QQing noobs that think game was 2 hard to play. Anyway Guild Wars 2 will kill WoW 
Facebook, haha. Is that what Sony really thinks? Sorry, but they are wrong. Of course WoW will *eventually* be dwarfed by *something*. Game technology keeps evolving, graphics, gameplay, etc. One day it will be taken over by something. But not by a Facebook MMO. I'm sure that someone at Sony has a daughter that is like "All my friends and I are on Facebook!" and that affects their thinking, but the reality is, that isn't the lauchpad for the next big thing, just because it is a social place and you already have an account. You can make an account at a new game within 60 seconds, it's not a big deal to do so. It doesn't have to be somewhere you already have accounts. Plus, you are using Facebook for different reasons than to play games. There are a billion people there that have no interest in MMO's. Are Sony exects that ignorant?
Its so good to live in 2009. Some online games have really good graphics and psp games are also getting better this year(I have the psp (hahahaha!!!!))
Happy happy birthday MMOsite!
a great article. your and my experience does not have much differences and i also like enjoying the game's sorroundings and doing quest with a group of people but having too much botters and cheaters really destroys my gaming experience.
