The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Summer]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Xyllomer started off for me with a bang, I loved the world, explored
the quests, got in a guild, built up my character.
I also made a bunch of friends that I am loathe to leave and that's
why I keep logging on and playing every day.
Basically, my only gripe with Xyllomer is the BOREDOM! There's just
nothing to do, ever.. All the additions and changes are always to
things that already exist. Stuff that doesn't really change the
game anyway, like the religions, the 'combat system' which really
isn't, the ships, judges that go inactive as soon as they get elected,
etc, etc. God changes and changes are announced and none of it really
matters for the actual game in the end. It's still the same thing it
was years ago, only less intense, less interesting, and more bland.
I can't count the times when a game session for me has been just
sitting around in the Elohim tree room and just chatting and messing
around with emotes with some friends. That's basically it for me
really these days. It's weird because a lot of games get new stuff
added constantly, while this one just gets the same things shifted
around, over and over.
And the new players?! There are NONE. No new players ever come. All
'new' players are really just alts or people with an alt pretending to
be new for fun. If you are really a new player who has never come to
Xyllomer, PLEASE come and play, we need you!
What else...the guilds are really all the same, they all use the same
combat system and apart from few really little things, there is no
difference.
We also have a bunch of really old and bitter players who stick around
just to remind us how much the game has declined over and over. These
wouldn't be such a problem in another game but with the low population
that we have, they really are visible and annoy the heck out of me and
others.
But you know what, I still like this game because of the friends I
have in it, and will continue to play it, and I hope you will give it
a chance also! :)
