Information source: Magic World Online Closed Beta Coming Soon

Video chat looks cool, but i'm afraid that it will be very laggy if we do this in game with our current internet connection. I had a bad experience of some other mmos' in-game voice chat before, i can not even move my character which chating.

Magic World Online Game Play Video

Quests
Quests vary, there are normal kill task, escorts and even instance quests that move the story along and give you your job upgrades, i was impressed with that as you dont see that sort of variety in F2P games. Its usually all basic kill 20000 of this and that, but so far this game has been different and actually enjoyable. The quests are also easy to track.

Class
there is total 4 class to begin with archer, warrior, mage, summoner. each class have 2 choice at 1st job change and another two option at 2nd job change. so there are totally 16 class in the end. those 16 class are mostly extending version of the 4 basic class.. example for summoner class there are magic rout and summon rout. then for magic rout there are healing or magic at 2nd job change. for summon rout there are transform or summon.....

skill
you can learn all of the skill in your class. but it rather impossible to master everything with normal game play.. so in the begining better choose your skill wise.

pet
there are 5 element for pets they are fire, ice, poison, holy and dark. there are two kind of pet.
1st. battle pet.. these pet stand guard their monster and fighting by your side.
2nd. riding pet.. these pet give you special bonus to stats. but they don't fight on their own.

auto fight system
it is like bot.. .but it is offical allowed. you can use bot to level up... but at the same time you might be kill while you on robot. this system remove most of the grind in games.

Weapon growing
ne of the more interesting features of the game, from level 20 you can actually have your weapon grow along with you as you level by giving it a series of upgrades, its a very cool feature indeed.

Player Housing
w00t a cool housing system, the houses are great and quite varied, you can also buy furniture and what not for inside, it is quite expensive though.

MF
yea.. you can have MF like we have in diablo II.. equip can have MF bonus. (kinda rare.. i never had a fine MF set by the end of CB T_T )

Perfect World(developer) brings a new title, anyot

leeni — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 16:34:58 +0800

It's called Q-World. Look from the pics the graphic is kinda animation style not like Perfect World. It seems that they want to bring us an animation style MMORPG.
Q-world=Cute-world?
Now there are more and more new MMORPGs coming out there, sometimes i am a lil puzzled to choose. It may be a good method to choose a MMO via its developer. I am waiting for Mabinogi cos it comes from Nexon(awesome Maple story maker). So the same happens to this Q-world?

Seal Online Reviews

leeni — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 16:19:18 +0800

Official Website: http://www.sealonline.com

intro
Seal Online is a 3D MMORPG with fairy-tale like graphics and humorous story. You can choose to be a Knight, Warrior, Mage, or even a class you won't find in any other games, a Jester.
In the beginning, there was nothing in the world. Darkness and Light, materials of all composition?- these were all created from null. Only the abyss ground was left after the destruction of the world. At first, Malkuth fished out explosives from the Sea of Fire and hurled it across the sky. They filled the sky as stars and the largest amongst them became the Sun. The Sun didn't stop burning until it incinerated everything Next, Yesod provided the foundation by flooding the world with water and thereby dousing the flames. On the third day, Hod created the continents by forming the lands using soil. Mountainous valleys were no longer seen. Dean of Strength erected the Pillars of Steel on the fourth day.

Graphics
The game uses cartoon graphics. The characters are kinda chibi, but their heads are at least proportional to their bodies. The environments are nice, and the game even cycles through night and day every so often.
Can't say much factual stuff about graphics either. The graphics have 3 modes, cartoon, outline, and 3D. Really, the graphics are nice. I think they're nice at least. For cartoony graphics, they were drawn well. If you don't like cartoony graphics then well, nothing I can do to change that.

PvP
PvP is available in Seal Online. Beat the crap out of other players for fun! Be aware that this ability is only available for level 30+ players.
PvP is PvP really. You fight other people using whatever the game provides you with.

Class
Knight, Warrior, Mage, Craftsman, Priest and Jester!
In order to choose a class, you need to be a beginner, and at level 10 or above.

Beginner - Your everyday average starting character with no real special skills and attributes.
Warrior - The one on one master. Warriors deal the most consistant damage to single monsters, have the longest combo chain in the game, and have the 2nd best defense.
Knight - The AoE master. Knights are the best AoE fighters simply because they have powerful AoE skills and defense that is second to none, so they can take the most hits.
Craftsman - The creation master. Craftsmen are the only ones capable of creating equipment beyond the G rank. It is said that they level slowly, but in order to get the best possible equipment in the game, this class is necessary.
Wizard - The magic class. Wizards have both single attacks, AoE attacks, and can use the fire and ice elements. They are inferior to knights in AoE because their defense is low.
Priest - The healer class. They level quite slowly, but they are absolutely necessary in parties at higher levels.
Jester - The clown that wields a dagger. The jester uses a dagger as his weapon of choice and can even throw it for long range damage. It is very costly to make a powerful jester.

Quests
Pretty much all quests in Seal Online are collection quests. You go beat up monsters, take the loot, and bring it back for some money, exp, and fame. As your fame goes up, the difficulty of the quests increase, requiring you to go after harder monsters.
