As the title says, SELL THIS GAME TO ME.

I was recently beta-testing 9Dragons, and I was very UNimpressed.  I have done next to no research about this game, but from screenshots it looks like another Asian grind fest MMO that is click-n-move, no power over controls, the most basic char creation, no quests ("go kill 10 rats" over and over does not count as a quest).  As you can see I'm losing faith in Asian MMOs.  This is my last stand...if you can convince me that is.



So....sell this game to me..what's so great about this game (being free doesn't count....I wish it was p2p tho)?

    Well, nobody knows for sure, but here's what I'd guess:



    You probably know, that 2Moons are based on a 100% eastern-type mmorpg Dekaron and Acclaim with the designer David Perry are kinda revamping it to suit the western audience.



    The quests are one of the things Acclaim will look into, DP said something about a changed storyline and hundreds of pages of changed script for the western market, so I suppose more involving quests are to be expected.



    Another thing I consider great (but not everyone would agree I guess):

    It's cool :) all the massive spiky armors, glowing weapons, impressive particle effect skills, combos, all the goodies for anime geeks.



    About the customisation of characters: I think you got THAT right, don't expect 256 shades of hair-color or 10 sliders for facial adjustments. Also, from what I saw so far, unless the developers at Game-HI plan to add a massive update, there are not so many armors in game and basically you'll be able to judge the level of a char according to the armor / weapon he wears / carries. I'm positive there ARE some special armors and weapons, along with the refinement system, but the appearance of characters will prolly be like in other eastern MMOs like Lineage 2 etc, at least at the start of both of the betas.

    The characters' customisation will be more along the lines of special skill / stat-builds - like knights for constitution and mace+shield skills or strength and double-sword skills.



    Also, it will probably be more action oriented, fast-paced in comparison with other mmorpgs, you can use wasd and a combat system alternative to point and click (info from dekaron.com - may not apply for 2Moons but I'd be surprised if it didn't).



    Try the open beta and if you don't like it, no problemo.
