It got 9.2 out of 10.
Whats so good about it?

[DarkSora]

oh, i just realised..this should be in the online section. :(

Its an online rpg, which focuses on player v player and a huge storyline. The graphics are good, and gives alot of gameplay. You can create your own guild and fight others tooor go through the storyline. The world is massive!
It has no monthly fees, the only payment required is for the software. :)

I got this yesterday!!! It's freaking amazing, the graphics are just outstanding and I love the variety of things you can do...if you want to PVP, you can...if you want to join a guild, you can...if you want to play through the entire story as if it were a 1 player game, you can.

That's what I like about it, the fact that I don't HAVE to do every quest with other people! I like adventuring on my own sometimes, sometimes it's better to play with other people. This game gives you the choice, and it's free :p

[DarkSora]

Do you need a good graphics card for it.
I have Nividia Geforce 4 . would that be ok. i can play games like unreal tournament 2004 and hitman contracts.
Well, this is my next game. :D

I've added u, btw what's a bow with 10-16 stats worth?

[Bootaaay]

Not sure...it's hard to find out the price for anything in this game, if you're selling it I could be interested because it's certainly better than my bow :p

[Bootaaay]

Yeh a few, the story's ok, i suppose. There's a goody goody 1st part of the game: green grass ,blue sky. Then, Ascalon's arch enemy, the Char, find a way to breach the great northern wall. Fastfoward two years, and everything is a bit messed up. Grey ground and red skies. I'm trying to move west to get to a green bit :) .The main part of the game has a massive map

I just started playing this a couple days ago. I didn't get to play yesterday, but will play tonight. I have a Lvl 4 Necromancer/Elementalist. Not sure how that combo is gonna work out. I think Necro would be better as secondary. I thought the energy upon death would be better than quicker regen as long as you were killing stuff, but I haven't seen the benefit of it yet. And I only have 30 energy. Anyway, my character is Infernal Dark. Maybe I will see you guys online. Not sure about the time difference.
