Woah!! So, I came across the other day about some Advertisement about some MMORPG. I was like, "Aww... Another MMORPG... Another game... Another case of Addictiveness....,"Well, that time I was into another game and I was tired on trying onther...When I visited the site, I was amazed. I went through the Beginner's Guide (Like most people USUALLY do.) I read the story and etc.When I Came across the "Characters" part of the guide, I saw these 'lil cute characters like this one:I said "Wow, is that a Cute Girl with a.... GIANT HAMMER?!!"I said Wow the game creators were so, so, very, very... CREATIVE.I mean, this things catches the imaginations of people. Look at it! a Small girl with a Giant Hammer! (LoL, now I'm just repeating myself... x3)As I was saying, I browsed through the characters and since I saw the Girl with the Mouse Zodiac, I decided to check out my own(Male Pig).On first thoughts, I had imagined the Male Pig to be Fat and all Ball Like with maybe a.. Mallet in his hand. I was surprised to see that my Zodiac had Dual Swords... DUAL SWORDS!! and he was slim... SLIM!!! Unlike me!!Here's the link to the character page I was tellin' you guys about:linkCheck out your own "Specialized" characters. (Warning: If you're in public, don't LOL)-------------------------------------------OK so. Zodiac Online is the 1st MMORPG(In case 'ya don't know, MMORPG stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) to have... Zodiac Signs... Neat, huh?OK, so here's the... Story... behind Zodiac Online! Feel free to read:Aquarius, Pisces, Aries… It’s not unusual to feel those names are familiar and the words “Twelve Constellations” suggests itself immediately. We all know everything related to the Twelve Constellations, but do you know the Zodiac signs in the east, which have a one-to-one relationship with the constellation? And the origin of them?
Here’s the story.
Once upon a time, there was a prophecy in the heavens that sooner or later the final day of the world will come, which is called “Doomsday“. On this day, a gang of atrocious demons will be unleashed and plunge the whole world into chaos.
Jade Emperor, the head of the heavens, has long been worried about it until an Immortal presents an idea of excellence, namely sending 12 deities to the mortal world and preventing the heralded tragedy.
Therefore, 12 immortals depart to the human world and transform into 12 animals, guarding all living creatures. They win respect and reputation from people by their day-and-night working. So people call them the Zodiac Envoys.
However, everything still remains to be seen. Will Doomsday be able to be stopped? If it fails, will the Zodiac Envoys be able to defeat these demons? And which Zodiac will be your favorite one?
Come to Zodiac Online to find all the answers!
-----------------------------
I don't get the story. 'Cuz most players like ME tend to focus on the Gameplay than the story. But, the story's cool though..... Yep, Pretty clever...
OK! Let's move on to... The Gameplay!!
OK, so this game is kinda like... Mouse-driven... but you also need the keyboard to like, punch in names, prices, chat, and oh yeah, there are also keyboard shortcuts like Alt + Q for quests and stuff like that.
So, you start the game with Level 1, and you're in Heaven! or more like the.. Peach Garden, was it? Anyhow, you start off at the Peach garden and you can meet all the NPCs called the "Immortals". I like seeing my fave NPC, Alphonso, the spearman guy.
So, you go down to earth and start to do quests. The most important quests are the Mainline Quests or the Story Quests. Without it, you can't take other quests or go to other places like Butterfly Peak. Then, you start leveling up, getting experience and other stuff.
There is a Program they call the.. "Match-up System"??? Anyway, when you come across another player's character, something automatically pops up in the lower right part of the screen saying "Blah.blah is keen on you" or "Yada.yada is hostile at you", anyway, I think they are determined by what Zodiac does the character resemble.
There are actually Four types of quests (I think) Namely, Active, Passive, Living and your Zodiac skill.... Oh wait, make that five... I forgot the Special Skills. Oh well, Clumsy me -_-''
The best part I like 'bout this game is that... IT'S INTERNATIONAL!!
I always get to meet new friends. Even though I'm right here in the Philippines, I get to meet people in UK, Brazil, North America, etc. And, there is one rule to keep us from misunderstanding each other: "Speak Englisk on the World Channel". Yeah, you get the World Channel, the Guild(when you have one), PM, and others...
The other things I like about this game is that, it is REALLY fun with the cute graphics and all.
----------------------
Getting to join a Guild is the BOMB!!!
Why?
- You get instant help for your hard quests
- You get to meet lots of people and make friends
- It's really quite funny when they're talking in your talking in you're language and they don't really understand and all...
- Easy leveling. Guild Quests can add EXP. More that Monster hunting, actually.
Well, Now My guild is BLACKLIST and almost all of us there are from the Philippines.It's fun and I find my quests easy when they're around.Like my Elder Sisters (Or "ATE" in our dialect.) , They're not my REAL sisters, in fact I'm an only child. My Ate chobita and my Ate Prinsesa/Eurekadyze. They often help me out. And my Kuya's (Elder brothers. Sorry, Ate and Kuya are my way of respecting the ones who are older than me.) El_Savior/MrJesus, our boss, tsuna. and others that helped me...And, it's fun to have a guild. Although it could get crazy sometimes, like Lawless, [F2]SickOfitall and young_master's weird, but funny speeches.... Blacklist Really turned out fine for me.... GeeYoh and Destrosh!tness for all those items... Aaaaaaw NUTS! Now I'm getting more Personal Like. BACK TO THE STORY!!Another Great thing about this game is that The GMs (Game Masters or Wachamacallit) are very active and Visits the players As Often as they can. Even in forums, GM Blackout and Iris... And GMs are not so Strict like on the other games. They're so nice....Soo.. All in all it's a Great and Fantastic Game. Personally, I LOVE it... Don't forget the Name 'o the Game, alright? It's ZODIAC ONLINE!!!Link to Main Site:Zodiac Online Main SiteLink to Official Forum:Zodiac Online Official ForumAlrighty, It's 3 a.m., I spent 3 hours making this review.
