    I will be taking a indefinite leave from Toram. I loved the game and enjoyed the time that I spent there.

    Special thanks to these individuals who made Toram an enjoyable experience both in-game and on this forum.

    @NineArts @Mugami @Precaria @Squid @Kariin @L-28 @Zenki

    And everyone at Potum and Dragon Lords

    I'm not sure where I'm off to yet. I spent too much time resetting on Toram that it is taking a toll on real-life responsibilities, so I'll probably find something less intense. If you happen to see a Saphos elsewhere, chances are that will be me. Please say 'Hi'.

    Thanks for the idea exchanges and for your company too. Maybe you could return on a less weighty period. If that happens let's play together. Take care. :)

    May not be an appropriate question to ask on this forum, but since it's off-topic, I'll try my luck...

    I can't seem to find another game similar to Toram that I could play. Any suggestions?

    I like Toram's graphics, and game-play. However, what I grew tired of is Asibimo. As some of you may know, I've been working on a build similar to @NineArts brawler v3, then Asibimo turned around and removed stability from secondary weapon, rendering the build and my effort useless. I also kinda dislike the 'troll' philosophy from Asibimo for example the Tomahawk sword, weapon mastery lowering stability, etc. Simply put, their so called balance is to give you something while taking away something at the same time. Always caught between "doomed if you do" and "doomed if you don't".

    I've been sneaking back to the game for a few minutes in the past evenings, trying to figure out what I miss from not playing, and what my frustrations with the game and summarized as above.

    Therefore, for the few who read this thread, whom I do consider friends even though we only met online, I hope we can have this discussion, not as Toram players, but MMOgamers.

    I'm not complaining or trashing this game, but I really wanted to see if there are good alternatives.

    Edit: Platform is iOS / iPhone

    There's really nothing like Toram at the moment. I've downloaded countless MMOs usually when we are on maintenance and never found one that hooked me enough, they don't have such pretty graphics and most are class-locked.

    NineArts (DEAD, CAN'T RECOVER.. 04/16/2021)

    C9 pvp with proper class balance (i like it's pvp features than DN, i love to combo juggle on my Punisher) +
    Black Desert Graphics (you gotta love that facial+body customization) +
    Blade and Soul PVP world cup tournament (it's like.. whoa cool!) +
    Ragnarok WoE (team work! break Emperium!) =

    that's the only day i'll go back to PC gaming, going mobile gaming for now :p

    now, if some gaming company did that kind of action RPG for the mobile platform, i'll be very impressed.

    as to suggestions, no idea yet, LOL i've been searching for games that can take care of that "pvp competition itch"

    and that condition of being the best without using real game cash -- just hard work and real skill.

    Agreed. if you find anything, let me know. So far the search has been disappointing.

    I have just been sneaking back to Toram for about half hour a day playing casually. I gotta say I am really happy that Potum did not abandon me, despite my semi-inactive status. I'm really lucky to be a part of them.

    I'm starting to realize that if I stop chasing the level cap and continue to play and enjoy the game as I play, Toram and Potum probably provide the best gaming experience that I could ever ask for. But the inner voice from the competitive me constantly push me to play harder and to improve, which caused me a lot of time spent on resetting my characters over and over ^^

    With my time away, I decided to watch Sword Art Online. Don't ask me why a 37 year old would all of a sudden decide to watch this anime, but thank god I did.

    In the final scene where Kirito reset his level and replay Sword Art with his friends and try to make it to the 100th floor. It made me realised that I had been wrong. Playing MMO is not about being the best out there, it's about enjoying the game with friends.

    When I was at Dragon Lord, I was the only person online most of the time. My GM and vice GM would log onto the the game occasionally, especially during events or updates. I had to carry the weight of the entire guild on my shoulders. When we boss hunt, I often found myself to be the tanker and attacker at the same time, protecting my guild-mates as much as possible. I became the strongest at Dragon Lords until Roga made me realise I cannot carry the guild on my shoulders anymore. The game has finally reached the stage where 1-man show is not going to cut it.

    Then I joined Potum. Potum has a lot of strong and skilled players. I honestly dont know how I rank amongst them, especially I reset all my characters a week before I joined. The catching up had been painful. I'd go on boss runs with 70+ where my character would be mid-50. That made me wanted to give up and take a break from Toram.

    However, SAO made me realised that being the strongest is not everything. Being able to enjoy the game with other players is more important. This is not Dragon Lords anymore, Potum does not require me to carry them. In fact, I am now their burden that my characters are still far from capped.

    Therefore, Potum, if you don't mind me being weak for the time being, I would hope to continue playing with all the nice and skilled people we have. I will be active on Toram again, and I look forward to playing with you ^^

    Sorry for the drama, I guess it is a little journey that I have to go through to find an answer for myself. Why did I post this? I hope it will help others, to help them see what the value of an MMO is and hope they will enjoy and value the company of other players.
