GREAT Game For Free!!.... But....
But I've encountered some things that are annoying or just really aggravating.
1. Heavy Censorship on chat. Can't even say "Wu-Tang", one of the clans, without it being censored. It will even censor the word "Basketball".
2. From the censorship of chat, and attitude, of some of the players- you're gonna be playing with what must be REALLY young children.
3. Censorship on Names. Not just outright "bad" names, but even if someone is 'offended' by a non-offensive name, you might consider yourself banned.
4. Support. So-So. I can get better support for my Commodore 64 most of the time.
5. REALLY Excessive Grinding. Not sure if Warcraft does it. Never played it. Never had the time to make use of spending $15/month on it. BUT- do we need to kill something for a measley 0.05% experience, for several days???
6. Item Mall. Nothing too major worth spending real money on. A few items give you a bit of an edge for Experience, say something like +10%. Still nothing too great.
ON the PLUS side:
1. Double Experience Weekends!!! Friday thru Sunday for 2 Hours.
2. Ability to Solo!!! FINALLY!! I like this in a game. The attitudes of some players just leave me wishing manners & courtesy were again a part of Human Nature.
3. Kung-Fu!! Each clan has its own style Kung-Fu. Own style of Weapon advantages too.
4. Graphics! MUCH Better than Warcraft. Close to Guild Wars, if not the same level. I've got a friend who started playing 9D more than Warcraft because he was not only tired of spending the money on something he didnt play religiously for 15 hrs a day, but also because the Graphics were better.

Though I did notice your name is Retardo, your title is a tad misleading from the content of your post.
There. Added something.
That seems to be the over-arching problem with 'free' MMOs:
1.) You actually have to make the pay-for content actually worth paying for
2.) By virtue of being free, it attracts audiences who are not willing or able to pay for their gaming experience: kids, and social rejects.
So far I've played it up to Losing Self 10. Man, they pack a lot of mobs in the hunting area. Level 1-12 baddies could be found within extremely short distances of eachother.
And the quest experience is pretty bad, it really reminds me of Lineage 2.Little of the way of quests, and by the time you get to Level 40, you're only getting a few hundredths of a percent of experience.
I enjoyed the game but once you hit the FD (Five Dragons level or lvl 60 out of 120 levels currently) the game becomes nothing more than a grind. You grind grind grind... kill mobs at 0.10% per kill .. once you reach Sun Moon level its (0.05%) per kill.... well depends on your class once you get high up you can't solo effectively anymore only nukers and hybrids can solo. This game has the potential to be good but it is a failure on so many levels.
True. Too much grinding. Not enough XP for the effort at higher levels. More quests would be nice, since those are what I look forward to.
It would be nice if the game didnt have some serious Server Login issues right now. Word on the forums is, they're sharing a server with another "Freebie" game, 2 Moons, causing lag, disconnects, and all kinds of unhappiness.
Really? Can't say I noticed it on a level that irritated me. There was one big pocket last evening, but I didn't think it was a big deal.
I was TinyPoutine (Golden Blossoms 4) on the Asura-PK server and i quit a couple weeks ago since the grind was becoming way too excessive for me. 10% per hour, making it 10 hours per level. The PvP system is what really kept me going. You can PK anyone you want all you want until their friends come to take you out. PvP can get out of hand tho when a group of people starts killing the same people over and over which takes out the fun in PvP. Another feature that attracted me was its deviation from other MMORPGs such as Lightfoot instead of teleportation and the Kung-Fu nature of the game. But yeah, the main downside is that you practically spend hours and hours on end grinding your life away only to quit when you get tired of it. I know this from first-hand experience
. You practically get mass acne from all the grind.
LOL! OMG! This game just became ridiculous!!!
Been playing since Beta. And NOW I get notified that my character name is considered "offensive" (which its actually not. "F**KMe" would be offensive) and has been banned. I guess other players have been going around reporting/screenshoting names they find offensive & getting them banned- whether you know it's offensive in their language or not!!! NICE!!
LOL!! Guess we cant have kids seeing names that might offend while they're hacking away at something with a sword.
And if yer gonna ask, I named myself after the asian kid in the movie "16 Candles".
I agree that some names are just flat-out bad, but Geez!!!
On the bright side, they say "create a new character & they'll transfer everything over".
Not sure if I want to now. If they're THAT easily offended who knows how many characters one would have to go through.
I found the lack of any kind of real community the biggest drawback. The game just feels uninspired... which seems to be like most other F2P games.
-Atziluth-
- Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.
Yea, this is true.
There is NO sense of community, even amongst the clans.
I've been in groups where I or someone else would disagree with some of the parties & *WHAM* you're out of the group.
Not all have been bad tho. Just more bad than good.
I think I shall go back to Guild Wars. Maybe their parties have matured? Ok, so I can hope.
I totally agree, there is alot of censor ship going on in this good game.
I wish they just tone it down a bit.
I just started a toon in this game so was looking thru the forum to see if I could get any info to make the curve shorter. Couple things regarding OP and responses.
If you "grind" Orange" mobs you gain 1-3+ exp per kill, much more then others that have posted.
Check the sticky at the top, some very good info.
Community is lacking a bit but I've played just a few days. Plenty of Invites for group but I did not accept until I had a better feel for it. After that I grouped a few times with higher lvl toons that buffed me to the max and helped me gaine several lvls assisting when would agg more mobs than I could handle.
As I lvl up it seems would appear the community aspect is also getting better but I have a few issues with the Chat system. Nor going to get into that here tho.
There are times the experience lacks when skills and current lvl lag due to the diperity between the mobs you can handle from a solo perspective.
Most of the skills take a lot of grinding to increase only to lvl up and get a "better" line of the sme basic skill then you have to grind to improve again.
OP, of course you got banned, you name has "Dong" in it.
