Figured I'd make a mini-review to point out the goods and bads (at least in my opinion~)* :3* Its always fun to discuss them! :D
Goods:
Content:* 9/10 *
I love that there is so much else to do besides grinding.* This seems almost rare for a free MMO, and I really enjoy this part.* So far it seems that when I think I've seen most of the stuff, something new pops up.* I like this a lot.
Control/Gameplay:* 8/10
The way to level up skills is kind of cool, how you choose what skills to make more powerful, and etc.* I also like that its not just "Spam the crap out of one skill" and that you are forced to alternate between them due to cooldowns.**
Graphics:* 7/10
While not amazing, they're not terrible either and run pretty smoothly most of the time.
GMs: 9/10
I really, REALLY admire that the GMs do things with the players frequently, without just being like, "Hey, sup, I'm a GM, tuch my e-reputation plz" * I'm sure they wont' do as many events when open beta comes, but its still very nice that they participate in the community, even if one of them is satan-spawn. *cough** <3*
Balance: 6.9/10
Its a little rough around the edges but all things smoothen with time.* I've only played archer and cleric a little so I can't say too much here.
Ks system (kill stealing):* 1/10
While not all mmo's have an anti-ks system, the extreme lack of one is somewhat frustrating.* Perhaps allowing quest updates to be added if somebody attacks your monster would make it better.* Its only very aggrivating when you're killing a rare monster or a boss and somebody comes along and smokes it, leaving you minus stones, scrolls and items and no quest update.
Mob-pulling aggros:* 1/10
I can't tell you how many times I've died because somebody running from aggro mobs runs past me with like 5 or more, and they re-target me and kill me.* =[* </3
Customization of character: 1/10
I'm sure they'll add more hairs, faces, and dyes in the future, but right now, oh god. I* feel like I'm lost in a bag of tropical skittles.* While not everybody shares this view, I thoroughly enjoy customizing my character's look and appeal, and I'm sure others do too. =) *
Neutrals:
Community:* 5/10
Some people seem nice, but there are an annoying influx of immature people who make the game frustrating at points.* Also, the amount of players who can't speak english astound me.* I see jibberish allt he time from people typing chinese or other asian fonts.* Not being racist, but most games block asian I.P's because there are usually always a server in asia for them to play, and since the north american servers usually host gameplay to not only N.A, but the U.K and parts of europe and south america, it only seems fair.
Lag:* 5/10
Most of the time its fine, but it seems there are lots of random spurts of lag.* Only died once from it, so the most I've ever really lost was a few potions, but I'm sure it will lighten when there are two servers to choose form.*
---
So overall, great game, just a little rough around the edges, but worth playing. =3 * <33 *flees** Lets discuss maybe? =d
