Re: Fonline experience

Fonline: Reloaded and Fonline 2 are the major servers. At the moment, I would suggest going for FOnline 2, it is much more fun these days. Reloaded is waiting for wipe, a major update soon, so no point to start now really.

FOnline 2 has a much friendlier playerbase, where Reloaded is just full of hostile PK monkeys like "The Khans" who gank you, no matter if you're new or not. Also no respect among players, just read the forums, check the atmosphere.

Fonline 2 has weekly and daily events (mostly automatic, but also DEV driven... and the living world project, you can read more about it on Fonline 2 forum), so it keeps things going, and not so many boring moments, it also has a much better shopkeep system, that makes it more handy to acquire and sell your gear, through your own shopkeeper. In Fonline 2 the PvP feels more rewarding, for example the weekly Hunger Games event, where the last 15 survivors get a valuable prize. Read more about it here: http://xsarqopedia.mwzip.com/wiki/Hunger_Games_Event

Fonline 2 has more and better dungeons and player group activities. Dungeon roaming is made much more interesting with features like this for example: http://xsarqopedia.mwzip.com/wiki/Sierra_Caves_Complex

...also, it's a bit more challenging to stockpile a shitload of higher tier gear, like for example Gatling Lasers. They're everyday goods in Reloaded, which personally, I don't find to be a good thing. The more hard-to-obtain gear there is, the more goals you have in the game basically.

Last but not least, Fonline 2 is getting much more updates, and the devs are present almost all the time, if not in the game, then at least on their dev channel. In Reloaded, you're lucky, if you can even get a response.. like ever.

One of my favorite things in Fonline 2, there's a whole town governed by players, the NCR. They get to elect their president, they have tax system, banking event, all kinds of goodies. Nothing as interesting as that in Reloaded.

The list goes on, but personally, I find it hard to name even one thing, that is actually better brought to life in Reloaded. Maybe some small things, like the ability to make a map to your tent. Not much impact.

I'd give Reloaded a 7/10 points, where as Fonline 2 gets a full 10/10 from me. 

Comes from a person who's been in Reloaded for about 4 months, and now about 6 months in Fonline 2. Things still feel fresh in Fonline 2.

Here you can see the server status checkers: http://fodev.net/status/

There's just a bit more players in Reloaded, but I think some of them haven't even tried FOnline 2. They mostly land on Reloaded because factions like "The Khans" have "marketing campaigns", that lure them in... and when factions like The Khans grow in size, the game becomes less playable for others. They just roam the world map with their dicks hard, waiting to find easy kills, and because of that, new players get demotivated, and leave the game. That's basically the 24/7 action you see in Reloaded, other than standing around in the Hub, showing off that cool Power Armor or going to New Reno or Hinkley for mediocre PvP that gets old real fast. Oh but at least listening to the trolls is "refreshing".

@You players that complain about lack of Reloaded updates/ about wipe taking forever.

Soon. Soon. Soon. You will all bite you tongue. It's a NEW AGE for FOnline: Reloaded. We/you are getting that massive overhaul we/you deserve. FO2 lacks vision, but has some great ideas. It's just the overall presentation is so outdated that they also need a massive overhaul. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell there is no massive overhaul of F02 planned.

In between waiting for the Fonline true wipe day, you guys can expect the Ashes of Phoenix wipe to happen on April 23rd 2016! Play that instead of FO2. It's much more professional than F02!

yeah, everyone wants to play on a server with 10 players
