| Unfortunately, I was not very captivated by this MMORPG. It was rather bland in my opinion, and I could not help but wonder how there were so many people online. That was far past my mind. As I entered the game, I was given a choice to create a character from one of three classes. Of course, there is absolutely no customization involved, so that basically states that there are three default characters running around the game x1000. That"s right: everybody looks the same! My adventures were undertaken as an archer, one of my favourite class types, and I will admit that they did a pretty good job with this class. On the other hand, they are a little bit overpowered in comparison with the mages, as everyone must grind for skill books in order to cast spells and the like. I was pretty lucky in finding them, but it surely sounded like a hassle to me. The warrior class was of no interest to me, although for this genre of MMO, they averagely fit the part. Starting off as a newbie was a piece of cake. I was expecting a tutorial or a quick intro, but I was left with the playfield and no guidance whatsoever. Luckily enough, all characters start off with a ton of newbie potions and some basic armor to keep you going. The learning curve is next to nothing, so you will get the hang of this game pretty instantly. Red War has two unique features. Firstly is the PvP arena, "Red War". Yes, I am completely aware that this is the most original title they could come by for their PvP arena. I suppose they really wanted to bring attention to this feature, which only makes sense to me as it is actually quite fun! This event happens three times daily, and anyone is able to join so long as they are level 20 or higher, and are able to pay the hefty 200,000 GP entrance fee. Once a player enters this arena, their character is levelled to 80, offering them access to the game"s most powerful spells and skills. Once that is covered, you are randomly placed into one of two teams. Your goal is to kill as many players on the opposing team. If the team you are placed on has the highest amount of kills once the timer is up, you are given the opportunity to fight the Chaotic Dragon, a powerful monster in the game. This is a fun way to conduct PVP matches, as everyone can participate equally so long as they"ve reached level 20. There is no unbalanced fighting; everything is fair. I am no fan of PVP, but I enjoyed the team aspect of this fighting. It felt like a huge war! |
