The first and main part – choose your class and careful study its skills. You won’t receive enough "skill points" and "skill mastery points" to learn all of them so you must decide which are appropriate for your race. Any mistake here will make your efforts in vain.
For this tutorial I’ll use the hunter.
WYD Leveling – part 1
The first quest – “Training Camp” is good enough to level up you to 40 level very fast. You can find full quest description here - http://wyd.gamenetworks.com/intro/quest_256.asp or in your quest window in game. There is a strong monster before every gate and near the Trainers. Kill the monster, talk with the trainer and you will get the key for the next part. The last monster is Orc Warrior. Stay there and kill the spawning monster until you reach level 35. You will get multiple quest items and then you will receive many rewards. You can get you reward only if you are under or 40 level so be careful not to miss it.
At level 40 go to the next quest – Spirit Guardian. Level up there till level 115. At the beginning fight mobs for the quest item. Auto fight can be very useful, just leave your character to collect quest items and do something else. When you are strong enough - go for the quest experience. Leveling up with this quest is pretty fast. The mobs give a lot of experience and the quest award items give +7500 experience – this would be something like one quarter for your character at this time.
At level 40 you can start one more quest – Orc Castle. It is not hard and very useful – the reward is a magic pill that gives you 9 skill points.
The monsters around the Orc Castle drop more Grave Keeper’s Candle – the quest items for Spirit Garden.
Orc Castle Quest – you must fight near the gates for the keys. After receiving the key – enter the Castle gate. I receive pretty good drop there. Orc Guard drops Orc Castle Final S.G Key. ChiefOrc drops Orc Castle Final E.G Key. Orc Lord drops the pill.
Hello Kitty Online is cute, free-to-play, MMORPG. HKO combines gaming and social networks together, making the world of Sanrio Land unique place to make friends and have fun.
Gameplay and impression
Hello Kitty Online is relaxing and peaceful, maybe way too peaceful. It is centered on crafting and collecting resources rather than combat. Even leveling up is done through collecting resources and crafting. HKO has four types of recourse collection: woodcutting, gathering, planting and mining. Item crafting is also very important Players can obtain items through trading or through crafting. HKO has four skills for crafting – cooking, making tools and weapons, making clothes and making furniture.
Farming – players receive a farm upon entering HKO and it is the base source for in-game money.
Fighting
HKO don’t have typical monster killing. The fight with the monster ends with the monster defeat without actually killing the mob. The weapons are also a little too funny.
Pets
When you defeat monster in Hello Kitty Online – you have a chance to obtain a pet card. A pet card can be used to make a pet from the monster. Pets can be very helpful - even in collecting resources. If a pet is fed regularly it level up.
Home sweet home
Players in HKO can build a house. The first thing necessary for building a house is a land certificate. You can obtain this certificate from npc or quest.
Social Networking
Hello Kitty Online is a type of social network. It encourages its users to interact and communicate like other networks (twitter, facebook). Players can blog, watch videos and send e-mails from the game. The Adventurer’s Journal is a special feature that allows players to post in their blog from the game interface.
Minigames
HKO offers some cute and fun minigames and puzzles for its players.
A petition - http://www.petitiononline.com/LANSC2/petition.html in response to Blizzard announcement that Starcraft II will not support lan and the only multiplayer will be through battle.net. Currently there are more than 105,000 signs and the count is increasing fast. Many fans got dissappointed by Blizzard’s announcement. Greed threatens one of the coolest games out there.
People tweet about the petition, starcraft and blizzard. You can get more information on what is going on from twitter channels - #Starcraft2, #BlizzCon or just search for the petition.
A friend of mine lost her account from a popular MMORPG. It is a tragedy because she spent more than six months playing this game. I make a short list of basic rules on how to prevent game account-stealing.
Create unique username and password combination for every game you play. Don’t ever use the same username/password for two or more online games. The game and site publishers claim they respect your privacy but don’t rely only on this.
Use strong passwords. Your password must be 8 symbols or more and it must contain both letters and digits.
Use personal emails to register game account. Many people share their emails with friends. Don’t use such email to create game account. Many game sites have an option to restore forgotten password. Somebody else can use this option to steal your account.
Don’t share your account. Don’t share it even with your best friend. You don’t know what will happen. It’s better not to risk hours of playing.
Don’t use somebody else’s computer to log into your account. Don’t play from internet cafe.
Don’t answer to any emails or chats from fake moderators or administrators that ask for your password. Any game staff won’t need your password or it would be very bad game.
Dragonica is available in Europe since June, 2009 (Open Beta maybe). The European publishers are gPotato Europe - http://en.dragonica.gpotato.eu/ . In North America Dragonica’s publishers are THQ*ICE with official Dragonica site http://dragonica.thqice.com/web/ . Dragonica is a free-to-play, 3D, side-scrolling, MMORPG. It sounds strange, isn’t it? 3D, side-scrolling MMORPG – my first idea was multiplayer, 3D Super Mario.
Gameplay - Arcade style battles Dragonica features arcade style battles – with combos and keyboard controls. The basics of its gameplay are very easy but like the old arcade games there are many key and hit combinations, special combos and so on. The battles look very cool despite the fact that your first enemies are sheeps, bees and woods. You have a hit that throws the enemy at the camera and breaks your imaginary window/screen. I laughed a lot when I first saw it. Quests – you have some bla-bla quests, for some time I started to accept all available quests without even reading what its all about. Maybe it is wrong, but the MMO games become more and more quest oriented. Or I got depressed from so many quests.
Missions/Mission Map Dragonica offers special places for fighting or so called mission maps with stronger mobs, better experience and a boss at the end. The first mission map is relatively easy, any class can fight the mobs and the boss alone, but the higher level missions are very intense even for full party(four players). Some bosses:
And the fun:
PVP
Dragonica Classes Warriors – The Warriors are the melee characters. They first profession change is at level 20 – they can become Knights or Gladiators. If you select a warrior – you will swing a huge sword for some time. I won’t argue the animation of fighting warrior is very cool. Also they are pretty powerful at the beginning. A bit overpowered maybe.
Magician – they can become Monks or Battlemages. The Monk is the party healer. Their next profession after reaching level 40 is Priest. The Battlemage is a damage dealer with weak physical defense. The next profession change at level 40 – Warmage.
Archer – if you like long-range weapons – the Archer is your type. Archers can become Pathfinder (with bow) or Arbalist (with crossbow). The next profession for the Pathfinder is Ranger at level 40. The Arbalists can evolve to Grenadiers. (Yep, Grenadier, have you watched the anime? Cool … eyes)
Thief – your standard thief class with high agility. They can evolve to Jesters (weapon: claws) or Assassins (weapon: katar). I haven’t tried this one yet.
Graphics and overall impression The in-game graphics and animations are cool and somehow original. I like the sense of humor and the light-weight atmosphere. You have not to engaging fantasy world which is easy to share with friends. I like the sounds, views, impression and the idea, maybe I am a way too childish.
Plants vs Zombies is a tower defense action-strategy game by PopCap Games. This game occupied all my attention for some time - I played few nights and during the daylight I behave just like a zombie. (Brains, brains, coffee)
Gameplay Plants vs Zombies develops around some hungry zombies and your anti-zombie plants. There are several types of battles - during the day, during the night, on the pool and on the house-roof. Away from the main game course players can enjoy some puzzle zombie games, mini-games, plant night and day gardens to receive money, grow a tree of wisdom. Plants vs Zombies player faces a lot of humor - starting from game names like "I, zombie", through dancing zombies, fun face expressions and many more. The game have 49(I think) different plants, each with its own skills. Players can pick out many different strategies. There are also many different zombie types, my favorite is the newspaper zombie - but I won't ruin your game explaining all the details here. From the plants I especially like the Chomper - zombie eating flower with BIG teeth.
Zen Garden seems boring at first glance but it is the place I spent most time. However, I don't know why. I don't water my real plants often.
Plants vs Zombies sure deserves its high ratings all over the net. It is a cool and entertaining game, with cheerful graphics and fun gameplay. My overall rating is 9.0 from 10, one of the best in this genre.
4Story is a free2play, fantasy, 3D MMORPG. My personal opinion is that it looks too much like WOW. If you are fan of WOW feel free to try this MMO.
4Story has three playable races – human, werebeast and fairy. Here is short character creation video with all the races:
There are six available professions – Warrior, Assassin, Archer, Wizard, Priest and Summoner. Every race can select any of these. Every profession has three skill trees.
4Story gameplay is quest driven. Players can carry out quests right from the beginning. There are also some hidden secrets. PvP There are several PvP options – from fractions war, war for territory, dueling with friends from the same kingdom and PK players from the enemy kingdom.
This week I start to play new MMO – GodsWar Online. GWO is a cute-looking 3D MMORPG by IGG. It is based on ancient Greek mythology.
Classes GodsWar Online has four classes – Warrior, Champion, Priest and Mage. Warriors use sword and shield. They are experts in the close fight. Champions use spear. They are attack oriented characters. Priests are the party’s healers. Mages – the standard mage character dealing large amount of damage.
Character creation video
Gameplay The gameplay of GWO is a lot alike many other 3D mmorpg – it uses standard point and click for movements and fight. GodsWar Online is relatively fast and easy for leveling up. GodsWar Online has auto attack mode(F12) so players can skip the boring leveling up or long quests. A character becomes a killing machine with the auto attack settings. GWO has two factions – Sparta and Athens.
Quests The game has many quests. Right from the beginning, the quests are the best way for earning experience and leveling up.
The beginning
What I don’t like I don’t like the 45 degree visual angle. I prefer to have more freedom and I don’t like the 2D style that much.
Site: http://shoonline.neofun.com Free To Play MMORPG Sho Online is a cool, 3D MMORPG in traditional Chinese style by Lizard Interactive. This game totally fascinates with its graphics, gameplay and idea. When I first start to play it I spent six hours without even realizing it.
Story and gameplay In the world of Sho Online two dynasties are fighting each other. Players can choose only one of them for all their characters. Yin is one of the countries from the conflict. I can’t tell the Chinese story well, all this names are too strange for me. The main part is that Yin is the older dynasty with initial location – Jo-ga Castle. Zhou is the other country. It became the new power of the continent. Its initial location is the Castle Seo-ki. All characters, NPC and monsters in Sho Online belong to a fraction. There are seven fractions – Yin, Zhou, Yo-koi, Ark-kui, Ark-soo, Yinbiyin, Ka-kuk. Characters have a relation stats window showing the relation with all the fractions. The relations change according to who you choose to kill. There are bonuses if a character is in good relation with a fraction.
War The game is based on the war between Yin and Zhou. The war starts with the assassination of the enemy governor general NPC. Players fight in a mass pvp for the glory of their dynasty.
Characters Sho Online has three starting character types – assassin, warrior and soolsa. Assassins rely mainly on speed and agility. They use daggers and bows for fighting and they can advance as archers or dagger masters at level ten. Warriors rely on their physical strength. Their weapons are spears and axes. At level ten they can choose to become Adamantors or Demon Knights. Soolsa are equivalent of mages in other mmorpgs. They use fans and staffs. At level 10 Soolsa can change its profession to Dark Soolsa or Taoistic Priest. Dark Soolsa are damage dealers with powerful magic attack and curses.Taoistic Priests can also attack enemies with magic but they are also healers and buffers. Both Soolsa professions can create monsters.
