Customize your own skills?

deadplayer — Sun, 04 Aug 2013 23:49:02 +0800

Just came across the new expansion for Conquer Online, Jiang Hu: Chaotic Age from MMORPG, and found they introduced an option for players to customize their own skills. Does it means you can use an exclusive look of a skill and give a name you like to the skills then show it to the other players?

If there's one game in whichwe can design and give a name to a skill for my own, that'd be super cool!

Anyone ever played Conquer Online and tell me more details?

Lord of the Rings Online: Rise of Isengard
Lord of the Rings Online is a good MMORPG in some aspects. After going to free-to-play, the game becomes a choice for even more gamers. The latest expansion Rise of Isengard not only offers gamers the iconic Lord of the Rings characters, fascinating story and huge middle earth world as the game always does, it also introduces in some goodies that worth paying for.

GhostX Ultimate
Former GhostX players and arcade brawler fans should check out this action-based MMO. As a reveamped version of the 2009 title GhostX, GhostX Ultimate offers gamers all-new nanobots, new item Shop and improved graphics. Need to be reminded that GhostX Ultimate doesn't share data with the original GhostX at the moment so current GhostX characters can't not be used in GhostX Ultimate, though the publisher does plan for a data transition. Besides, GhostX Ultimate will erase all characters after the open beta ends.

Hunter Blade
Hunter Blade is similar to Monster Hunter Online in terms of the gameplay system. Since Monster Hunter Online hasn't made its way to the west, you can check out Hunter Blade as an alternative if you are interested in this genre.

THQ's website gave a release date for Warhammer 40k Dark Millennium Online. It is scheduled to release on March 31, 2013. Yea, the long-awaited Warhammer 40k MMO still far, far away. But the act may hint that after a long period of secrecy, THQ would probably like to share more info with fans of Games Workshop's Warhammer series.

If I am survival from 2012, I will play it. xD

South Korean game company NCsoft has basically confirmed Blade & Soul to be officially released next year.

According to James Bae, Blade & Soul's development director, the game still requires a third CBT for the sake of beefing up its content, and even a fourth CBT if necessary. So, according to the development progress, it's basically impossible for Blade & Soul to carry out OBT at the end of this year.

Hope it comes out before the end of the world.

Likewise you can change jobs simply by taking up a different weapon or item, from sword to blacksmith's hammer, although specialising in the game's four disciplines (war, magic, land and hand) will always give you an advantage. The end result is a more accessible and varied experience than any other online game and the most exciting Final Fantasy yet.

Battle of the Immortals
Battle of the Immortals is an action MMORPG that blends Norse mythology with a Qin Dynasty era Chinese game world.
