Eden Eternal-Review 7/28/12

 
Eden Eternal.Ah the memories of this mmorpg have stuck with me since I left.From the moment that I created my own guild to the moment we rushed Guild Quests to obtain our own base,this mmorpg has had a lasting impact on me.BUT,ever since I left many things have changed.And thus begins my review...
  Eden Eternal is an excellent game when it comes to choosing a class...it really doesn't matter!No matter what class you choose when creating your character, you can easily switch to any of the other classes so long as you meet the requirements.And this is by far the best feature of this game.If you have the gear you can be any role you want from dps to healer you can fill the role that you need in the party.Even more interesting is that every 10 levels you obtain a passive skill or "Trait" from the class you were leveling.So a mage would get a lower cast time trait so it can dish out more damage while a warrior would get an hp buff or attack buff.The beauty of it is that you can mix and match traits to your liking.

  Community wise this mmorpg has died down since my parting.It used to be no problem finding a party for an instance but now...it is somewhat of a time consuming task.Even more when you are trying to find one for the early instances.I was lucky enough to find one though and the run through it was just as fun as I first remember it.
 

  The real bummer begins at level 40 and on.You will be bored of doing the same quests over and over again .They are basically the same quests killing monsters to gather x items or just killing monsters followed at the end by an instance quest which then leads you to the next area where you have to rinse and repeat.Aside from the world bosses this game has a bad questing system that will drive most people away from even continuing.



 Eden eternal is worth looking into but only for the strong of will!

Ragnarok Online-Review 7/28/12

After having taken a quick break from Ragnarok Online I decided to go back and see what had changed.To my amazement it added new class advancements more gear and had gone from pay to play to free to play with a cash shop.Walking around I remembered the old times when fellow players would sit around in Prontera and chat about anything that came to mind.This had not changed.Players are still friendly towards one another and you will receive invites to parties from random people.And for a game with dated graphics it is still robust with new and veteran players.

 Game play wise it is the same point and click game play,but surprisingly it still entertains one for countless hours.The skill tree system they have is remarkable and allows for experimentation without consequence since you will usually have enough points to get the important skills.Ragnarok Online is heavily party oriented if you wish to acquire better gear or survive without having to spend minutes sitting after killing a few mobs.
  Customization of your character though is limited to accessories and the color of your sprite.No matter what you equip the appearance will remain the same until you complete a job advancement.Though the sprites are very nicely done you will get tired of seeing the same thing but just in a different color.
  The card system that Ragnarok has is very enjoyable and allows for you to customize gear to fit your needs.Whether it be doing more damage,adding an elemental effect to your armor or weapons,or just boosting your stats, the card system will keep you busy even after reaching cap level.Certain boss monsters known as "MVP" Monsters are difficult to kill but a MVP card is worth a lot.One example is that a card from an MvP can allow you to see assassins that are invisible or give you 4x the amount of hp you had before.

  All in all Ragnarok Online is worth trying out for any pc gamer out their looking for a game that will challenge and reward them.

Mu Online-Review 7/27/12

  Mu Online is a 2D Fantasy MMORPG currently being published by Webzen. The game was first released as a pay to play title but later re-released as free to play. Mu Online’s graphics closely resemble that of older pc RPGs like Diablo 2 and Baldur’s gate.With the passing of time it has become a more refined game in the sense that their are now new events to participate in,more classes to choose from,and even more items than before.

But with the new content being implemented this game has also suffered from a community that seems more like a bunch of NPC's standing around.
  Hardly any English players are around and those few that do speak it are usually busy grinding,farming,or pking to answer any of your questions,the new bot implantation has not helped this at all..Also the implantation of the Cash Shop has now made it seem like a p2w title.10 us dollars (1,000 WCoins) is enough to get you 600 bless from another player.You can gear your character to survive and deal damage with 10 dollars.For those that attempt to play without paying to play you will be met with obstacles such as not having decent enough gear to survive well paying events such as Chaos Castle or just not being able to level after the buff elf is no longer available (past level 150).

  The content though is superb and those who do survive the struggle for better gear will be rewarded with events and even enjoy killing a few fellow players to clear up a leveling spot.The level cap (600) is broken down into 2 different level types.Normal level 1-400 followed by Master levels 400-600 which consist of leveling up and distributing Master Points into passive skills that increase exp gain,zen dropped,damage of skills,defense,and HP.
Classes are now more expansive since the original 3.Currently the new classes are Summoner and Rage Fighter.The other classes have new advancements as well at level 380.
  All in all this is a good mmorpg to play if you are a hard core gamer...or if you have the cash to get the jewels for your gear.I will be uploading a video of how active this mmo actually is and some gameplay also.
