I was just wondering as i was browsing the net, i came across some videos and pictures and did some research. About what? Well pdo. Now, this is not to flame or start anything but i sort of feel betrayed? How come pdo is nothing but WOQ2 with a different name? Lol?? I even looked it up and have seen that WOQ / WOQ2 both flopped and less then a year later WOQ2 was release and called PDO. Isnt that a bit strange? Even the GUI on WOQ2 looks better then pdo lol yet its the same exact game, this game has been published as 2 games, yet there seems to be no difference atleast from the youtube videos and screen shots all over the net. Also seeing that PDO is a beta and has been released 2x before as another game, how come PDO is a beta? Like i said this isnt to start a fight, but really what the hell is really going on?

I played WOQ before I came to PDO and believe me, you are better off in PDO!!!
The differences: WOQ actually seems to be the beta since a lot of things do not work properly. Only because you have to pay for it doesn´t mean that it´s better. The support in game is run by GM which are players at the same time. The result of that is that some players (In guilds the GMs belong to) run around excellent gear/exip and the others have a hard time getting any help at all. On the other side the support outside the game is  barely existing. If you allow yourself to speak up and criticize the GMs/Suport/Game on the forum your accounts might even get temporarily banned to shut you up. On top of that a lot of game feature that exist here in PDO is not even active in WOQ which results in the fact that you have a good amount of quests up to lvl 40, after that very few till lvl 60 and none after that. The crafting system is much different. You need a lot of luck and time to gather the materials for high end equipment. It took me for example 3 weeks of farming (4-5 hrs a day) to set up a good set for my priest at lvl 38. So the most time you run stupid in circles in some area kill mobs just to get the occasional lvl up may be once a week (XP are much lower). On top of all this PvP is close to non existent as GMs see it as harassment when you kill somebody else who is busy doing something else. So the only way to get out of that dull farming on high char is not even allowed.

All this should tell you enough to come to the conclusion: WOQ is the rip off.

Best thing in WoQ is that they announced so many things when it started into the Beta phase. 30% of those things were in the game and it started into "final phase" with nothing changed excpet oyu have to pay for that. They talked about Nation wars, million of players and so on. Nothing in it nothing came.
With the first patch (after one year) they introduced Reputation. But not like in PDO. In WoQ you didnt get rep through quests because this was bugged and GMs didnt have any power to change that. So you had to run through a maze with some heavenly scrolls to give them to dif spirits to get 1 rep. I think the first thing you can get is at 3000 rep there. There are so many more things to tell you, Nuoklin is right.
And think about it why so many WoQ players came and stay here coz they are done with the "support" in forums/ingame.

PDO is much better and its free.
