Comparison: The usual grinding and killing off of monsters to level up while making friends and building up a relationship with your pet. Only the differences are there are these things called "laks" which you trade for items which can upgrade armour and weapons or you can just trade them for rappelz . Also, the job classes are completely different from other games, and the races in which you can pick from when you create your character are completely original. And each for each race you pick can obtain different skills, which adds a different element to the game.
First Impression: At first I thought it was just one of those "kill, make money, buy new armour, kill, make rappelz rupees, buy new armour" sort of games but this turned out to be something COMPLETELY different. You have to pay close attention where you stick your attribute points and job points, that makes a big difference in how strong your character will be. To obtain a skill it cost you job skill points which you also need to change your characters job. And that helps you be aware of your character at all times.
My Impression:
Graphics: 9.5/10
Great graphics with great skill and magic skill effects that can't be beaten by any other MMO.
Sound: 8.5/10
Pretty good music while having awesome sound effects when you are fighting monsters.
Gameplay: 10/10
Unbelievable gameplay that match up to many games such as World of Warcraft, Anarchy Online, and Lineage 2.
Community: 8/10
Great community, but many scammers which use a hard-to-understand personal shop system. But with most or any free to play (f2p) game out there you will run into a lot.
Value: 3/10
Since this game is still in beta, the game items and cash are currently worth not to much, but you never know, maybe soon when the final version is released, it will be worth plenty.
Unique Features: The use of laks and the absolutely original job classes available throughout the game.
