Well, then, "Happy New Year." As for the level, I honestly don't remember anymore, maybe 5, but definitely not 10.

Maybe the 9th one? Or not?

I never progressed beyond level 13 in an MMORPG because it became tedious. The monotony and boredom, the poor fighting mechanics, and the repetitive or non-existent quests were all factors. LOTRO was an exception; the quests were more engaging, at least for the Hobbit. But even that got old. And LOTRO is a paid game. Although the European server switched to F2P in the fall, and they promised to do the same for the Russian server, it might already be free. But it's full of donators and schoolchildren. And the real players are on the European server. I played Perfect World and LOTRO. And I played Lineage 2 on a Russian pirate F2P server with noobs and schoolchildren, but L2 was the most boring of all these games. Heroes of Might and Magic was more interesting. I could play the latter once a week if it weren't for its slow pace. I played for a couple of months and only reached level 3. Although, I still log in from time to time to play Arcomage.

Ololol, so many fights, quests, and other things across 13 levels!

what, you have to endure six months of boredom, level up to the canonical 80, and then it will be interesting?
no, go away with your MMORPGs.

I used to play WoW, but then I got tired of it, and now I don't play online games at all. And I always make fun of online gamers :3

What's the point if you have to endure six months of monotony, level up to the standard 80, and *then* it becomes interesting?
No, go away with your MMORPGs.

It's like this: I tried a pizza, started eating the crust, didn't like it, and then I stopped.

it takes five seconds to get past the initial grind, but reaching an interesting level takes much longer. I don't want to waste my time; I'd rather play a regular RPG where it's interesting from beginning to end.

It’s fun to play World of Warcraft if you find the right group.

But isn't Gothic just an offline MMORPG? You bring twenty hides and ten horns to NPCs, level up your skills, gain experience, and then you can move on to more dangerous locations where you used to get killed.

You bring twenty hides and ten horns to the NPCs, level up your skills, gain a level, and then you can proceed to more dangerous locations where you used to get killed.

In Gothic, they won't endlessly gank you and then write messages in the chat like "Haha, noob and lol!".

I remember once trying to play Lineage 2, but I kept getting owned by all sorts of hardcore players with MEGA COOL GEAR and levels, and I gave up on it. I didn't even try playing World of Warcraft; they say it's dangerous and addictive.

But Gothic is nothing more than an offline MMORPG! You bring twenty skins and ten horns to NPCs, level up your skills, gain a level, and then you can go to more dangerous locations where you used to get killed.

No. You just got used to seeing only crap in everything, and that's why you saw the worst features in the game, and even exaggerated them.
Also,

you gain a level and then you can go to more dangerous locations where you used to get killed.

I was talking about the fact that in MMORPGs I reached a low level, and it was boring. Vis enlightened me that at a high level, it becomes interesting to play. But in Gothic, it's interesting at both low and high levels. Even, rather, the opposite, it's more interesting at low levels, because you are not yet a pumped-up demigod of level 35 in heavy armor made of dragon scales and with an axe that deals 200 damage, which destroys everything with a couple of hits. At the end of the game, the battles become a bit boring, yes.
But at the beginning, it's very interesting to take down a pack of wolves with a rusty two-handed sword without any skills.)
And the point is not only in the battles. Returning to what I wrote at the beginning of the post, the quests are not only "kill-loot-bring," and the plot is generally magnificent, in my opinion. Oh, how I wish I could forget it and play G1 and G2 again..

And yes, Ples was also right, there are no annoying kids there. Well, that's up to everyone, some people like to communicate in the game with someone else, some like to be alone) the topic was recently discussed in Haven, and everything has already been said there.

What kind of person do you have to be to spend so much time leveling up to level 10? Although, if the server has a x1 rate, then yes, it will take a very long time. Otherwise, it's easy to play at the beginning. As for killing players at the beginning of the game, this doesn't always happen. Maybe the server is bad or something? Although, killing noobs is fun, but hunting down a PK squad made up of noobs is also fun. The most interesting part starts closer to level 20, when parties are formed to take on small bosses. New acquaintances, teamwork, communication, adventures – all of this is very enjoyable. Over time, it starts to get boring because you just run around and level up, without any goal or plot (don't call capturing a castle/dominating everyone/reaching max level a goal, and the "plots" in these games are weak). And you start to miss (at least I do) what's in regular games.
Conclusion: you can play an online game with friends, and it will be enjoyable. But not for long.

I don't know, I always level up slowly. Maybe because the main experience comes from killing monsters, and I get bored with that quickly, so I switch to quests.
Although in Lineage 2, I mostly killed monsters, but I got bored killing weak orcs, so I went with my level 10 character to various dungeons where there were spiders level 15-20. I was often killed there, which is why I leveled up slowly, but at least the fights were more interesting.
