As the title says,the more I play,the more I will add to the list.I am currently level 17.I plan to go Thief because I feel that many people chose warrior.(That turned out to be the opposite XD)I will try to be as honest as possible with my responses.What I am comparing it to is basic mmorpg standards and what is out of the ordinary.

Pros
Simple point distribution.
Very good main town music
The rotate function is smooth
You actually see GM's in game! (and talk to them.Very good.)
Great graphics.
Fast HP recovery.
Cool random maze.
When you are on,you can see whether your friends are on-line.You can change your online status to "trainng" or "eating brb" and a few more.

Cons
Simple point distribution.
Not that much that stands out from other mmos.
Can't buy a pet until level 35.
Overweighted walking is ridiculously slow.
All you can do is grind (so far).A break from it,like PvP or an auction house would be nice :3
Wayyyy too slow leveling(per kill) I am level 18 and I get 2% per kill on non-red monsters.Since this game is planning to have at least 200 levels,that is bad.

If you feel like it,leave some of your pros and cons,too!

Well, you have to realize that you aren't supposed to be walking whilst overweight anyway! RO's 50% overweight made it impossible to regenerate without potions, and it's 90% overweight made you not able to attack anything. Basically, drop/sell stuff if you're overweight.

Every other point is valid, though!

It's the style of the game. Have you ever played Diablo or Ragnarok Online? Point to click is useful for this kind of aerial view game. If you want a 3rd person MMORPG go play Fiesta. Aerial view MMORPGs are great, though!

It's not an exact clone, SoS have running system, RO just fast walk and doesn't even look like running. That's the only difference i've notice so far from watching the movie in the website, since i didn't get invited.

If they have to make the exact same sprites for the hats and acessories that make ragnarock special, it's kinda sad. Honestly, I played for a while, and it's boring. There's nothing really special which would make me want to keep playing/waiting for a healer.

I wish for once, they would come out with a korean mmo that doesn't require you to grind your skull out.

u know the quest that tells u to collect fairy spheres after u finish the tutorial quest...the slimes has a very low drop rate and im already lvl 14 with only 2 fairy spheres so far...so maybe u could change the drop rate that could help thx

@stacker

the slimes are not the only ones that drop it... its dropped by MOST monsters... its just that it has a low drop rate... thats another con about the game so far... some of the quests lack details... they say only this monster drops the quest item but you'll be surprised when it pops out from another monster

Ok I somewhat agree and disagree about a lot of what everyone has said. If it is "too much like RO" and that is a problem... dont play, but please quit posting that is like RO so much, it is in wayyyy too many threads and really gets old.

Drop rate needs a bit of adjustment on some things, but the idea of quests also isnt to get all the items in just a few kills, quests are meant to be worked on (try a few other games where quest drops have a drop rate of 1 out of 50+ kills and you have to collect 20 items, now that can be complained about, fairy orbs I got about 15 in half an hour...)

Quest detail could use some work, there are some I havent completed just because the quest log says "learn about (whatever)" and doesnt tell you what you need to do, and if you go back to the npc to try and find out all you get is a comment making you sound stupid. So yes this could use some work.

Camera angle as I have stated elsewhere could use a little adjustment. It is currently a little too high making it a bit dificult to see npc's and such before you are right on top of them, which with the lack of all npc's marked clearly on the maps until you are this[] close.... well just a bit lower and would be much easier.

The amazing amount of Immature gear that drops off mobs.... granted it sells to npcs but not for much, more money drops or just a random item that does nothing yet stacks in inventory would be nice.

Biggest con for me personally is even in CB there are people who just have to open there shops on top of the npcs.... or just sit there in that little area waiting for a gm to show up. Come on people, this was/is an issue on Fiesta as well (thankfuly no mushroom houses!). Spread out a bit so the people who need to talk to npc's dont get so much lag. Granted it isnt bad yet, but once CB is done and people still continue to sit in that area..... Keep shops to the sides and if you arent talking to an npc or something then dont sit next to them. CB is supossed to be for finding bugs etc and improving the game, so far most of what I have seen is a lot of people who only wanted in to be the "first"......

Ok dont ranting on that sorry :p Honestly though so far I have found very few things to actually complaine about with the game itself. Outspark did a very good job not to have 5000000000 posts for bugs and such yet.
