i'm happy to discuss or answer questions about Champions of Regnum. I play pretty much every day, so can probably answer questions, here, in game or in their discord. This is a 6 month to 1yr+ game. Most players who make it past level 50 (max is lvl 60) stay for years. It's just a simple game to drop in and play/war whenever you like.

What are the strong points of the game? Basically, if I'm looking for a PvP MMO, why should choose Regnum over Albion/eve/return of reckoning? Cheers

Strong points:

  1. Low spec engine, full 3D
  2. Active ongoing RvR open pvp
  3. Chill community, everybody is in it for the roleplay of intense RvR, but nobody gets mad at dying or killing (it's like a sports match in some ways).

Why pick Regnum over Albion:

  1. View perspective is different. Top down, different state of situational awareness.
  2. Regnum's abilities are less like a moba, and more like DnD. They take more puzzling.
  3. Main server of Regnum is like a holiday in a Latin American country (with 3 flavours for factions: Forest elves, Mountain dwarves, Desert demons).

Why pick Regnum over RoR:

  1. No gender locking of classes, artwork in Regnum may be more appealing.
  2. View perspective and feel of Regnum is different in war, different situational awareness.
  3. Main server of Regnum is like a holiday in a Latin American country.

Why pick Regnum over Eve:

  1. Eve is more of a spreadsheet big space sim war
  2. Regnum is more of fantasy magic world
  3. Regnum let's you experience chill war in a cool, scenic, forest/snow/mountain setting.

Overall negative points for Regnum:

  1. Gets a lot of bad press.
  2. Some regard the interface as clunky, but overall the engine is fine.
  3. Old somewhat DnD style abilities.

Feel free to ask more questions. Actually, all the games mentioned above are solid industry players in mmos. It's good if they all grow the genre together.

Cool thanks for the answer. I'm guessing most people play the game outside of steam?

Also, a friend who used to play Regnum told me to ask: "How much ixmerin does a mount cost?"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Ya, almost all the players come from outside mainstream forums like steam, Fbook, Insta, Reddit etc. it’s like some hidden lost world of Latin people from retro mmo days. Many of their children play now.

The basic horse mount called Light Horse costs 1,250 ximerin, which i think is about USD 8. This is a permanent purchase. It’s the only permanent purchase I can recommend, though you can actually earn enough ximerin to buy a light horse after several weeks, if you log in every day (logging in every day earns you “ Regnum coins “, which is convertible to ximerin for free at about a rate of 7 rc for 1 sim). I don’t really like having too many currencies in a game.
