So then, I did a lil review of my own. Tho it's not very complete yet I'll complete it once I get more playing experiment.
Resumed:
-Characters-
the character customization is pretty nice ~ it may not be as complex as perfect world, but
there's lots of faces and hairs you can pick, then there's colors, body proportions, you can make a pretty-ass character, Or a
Manly GAR! character! exploding with manliness! and sweating manliness! oh and you can also make a female character...
There are Elves and Humans...tho i wonder if Elves are any diferent from humans...well so far i saw none, so i guess they go somewhere else
oh and since we're on characters, careful with the two legged dog, it scares you right outta your soul. Oh and the monsters look
nice too, not too dumb , but nothing amazingly special, oh speaking of wich, there seems to exist a monster encyclopedium in the game
nice eh~? and oh! There seems to exist Elite monsters here too!! so maybe we could give the Bounty hunting another chance? Maybe we more members and all!
Oh! i think this is also the section where i shoulda talk about classes. There are 6 classes, Scout, rougue, warrior, knight, mage, healer, once you reach level
10 or so, you get two pick a suporting class, that is you have your main class, and another class, wich (i think) you can switch whenever you want. I'm going for
knight and healer, does that makes me some sort of Paladin?
-Gameplay-
Dull =3= ~Sorry~ But nothing is that perfect~ and the gameplay of this game is pretty much like any other average mmo...
Even so the dual class featura adds some new spin to it.
Oh also, You get to make your own house~Cool eh? We could call it "ToA castle"!!
Oh theres also a bit of a downside to this game...Even tho it's free, there's alot of stuff going on around 'bout the special shop, y'know?
Seems like the game bases itself a bit on the real-money shop...Hope i'm wrong tho..(I haven't checked the shop myself, so i can't guarantee they sell
weaponry , acc, armors, etc..)
-Skills-
Hmm i think the skills work by level...like you level , you get lotsa points, you put them whereve you want, and like this you go
getting your skills...or at least i think so...I wonder how it works when you get the second job?
-Others-
The graphics are pretty nice~Even tho i'm playing them on the lowest setting for now... the music is not half-bad either.
So here are the bad aspects of the game
- dull gameplay (when will we get MMO with gameplay similiar to FFXII i wonder~?)
- Long download/install
- (possible) emphasis on real-money-shop
and here are the good aspects of it:
-Nice graphics/music
-Dual class (wich makes something like 20+ possible class combinations)
-House (even tho it seems like it's nothing much, you are (or will) be able to construct real castles!! Yeah! a bit like sims!!)
(hmm..i could swear there were more..)
Anyway, the game really seems good, If you have a chance, please try it~!
My adventure on shroom land:
she was just a giant from a tutorial level..But it shot fire! That's right an arachnedea shot fire at me! Cool eh?
So i went back , apparently the lady owns the three wolves too, 'cause y'know, it's perfectly normal..you live alone, in a
forest filled with shrooms, with a talking dog and three wolves.*Coughcough* crazydoglady*cough cough*
Oh well...so i came outta that dreadful pit into a more, mmorpg-like place, a little village with villager, oh boy! quests!
oh, you also get a horse from the crazy dog lady...yeah she had a horse and she gave it to you, for killing a few spiders her dogs could easily kill.
So I'm soon sent to kill a few other monsters on the new village, giant shrooms that peacefully walk around with a carrot like umbrella, young wolves...
Ya'know mindless carnage.
And this was around the time i stop, 'cause there was too much lag for me to continue playing without take some measures...
Continued playing today, even tho there was some it was like half of the lag i get yesterday, even so, i better get some more RAM soon.
Well i kept on doing those kiddish quests , talking to NPCs, learning the basics, etc.
So i did, i learned the basis, I learned bout the crafting system, it's fairly simple and amusing, I fought more baby monsters with my
GAR!! character, i caught mother shrooms, that were just happily jumping in their shroom lands with their little sons, you know
the usual.
Anyway, this game seems fairly solid if you ask me, I'll keep on playing it, if you guys want to play it too, please do so!!
however have this in mind: you just might need to update a lil your computer (then again, maybe its only mine...), newest drivers, etc...
and the download takes some time...and so does the installation..(then again, it might have just been my computer?)
Other than that,oh, and of course the gameplay, that is a bit dull..(Like pretty much every mmo you get now-a-days) i really don't
think i can criticize the game all that much.
