Welcome to Gaia! ::

This game is, for a MMORPG, quite good. In fact, it's the second-best I've ever played (and I've played my damn large share of them.)

The plot is the usual "you're a good guy, fight the bad guys" thing, the mechanics of the game involve mostly slaughtering monsters until you get bored (or have to log off for the day,) and the engine itself reminds me of WoW.

In the game, there's eight Clans you can join, each with its own fighting style, and all sporting nice Kung-Fu techniques. However, until you join one of those clans, the quests you have will be the same, no matter which town you choose to start in.

My favorite clans out of the eight are the Sacred Flower and the League of Beggars. First one's a group of female assassins (wearing as little clothing as possible, and using daggers or wheels as weapons,) and the second, well, they look like hobos, they act like hobos, but in a fight, they can kick your a** with their staffs and fists.

And also, Clans don't mean "jobs" like in other games. In this one, you can be whatever you like inside your clan, as you can, even as a Sacred Flower, become a healer, a magician (illusionist) or just a simple (and a**-kicking) brawler.

Enemies vary from town to town, ranging from common thieves to undead soldiers to giant spiders or snakes... And I saw a large demon while exploring (and swiftly ran away, too. Red named monsters, in any RPG mean a swift, painful death.)

Funniest thing about the game is that you have several "Live" quests, which don't always involve fighting, but gathering drops from monsters, and that are always present for you to complete (hard to explain without playing I guess.)

Only bad parts of this game are: The system requirements to play it are quite high (but after seeing how the world looks and all the monsters around, it is understandable,) and the downloading and patching may take hours (even in the best connection speeds.)

Summing it up: This game beats Oblivion and WoW thoroughly, even tho the storyline is quite unoriginal (but then, so were those of those two games,) but you can pretty much choose your own path (given you complete the training period of around twelve levels.)

I'll give it an 8/10. It would be better if they banned all the n00bs and KSing jerks, but hey, that's a common MMORPG thing.

I remember playing 9 Dragons but I didn't like it very much.
I don't know why I deleted it. Usually, Acclaim games always disappoints me.
Still, The best game for me would be "Perfect World".
If you want anime/cute graphics, then "Flyff" would be a good one. smile
Been playing Flyff for 3~4 years on and off.
and Perfect World for almost a year.

I came to miss the game (i forgot to say in the last post) so i started a new account. i played till my level was high even higher then my old account's character. But then i got bored. You know the same feeling when you a
high level and get bored sometimes. xd
