Hacknshoot · June 2006

Ok, so I've read the topics here and I decided to try this, and the thing's installing now (after a 5-hour download... Better than I thought that it would be) So I'm getting the free trial thing right now so I can get to try it out (mom wouldn't have it any other way... Go figure ) to see if I could move away from Knight Online, since I get WAAAAY too bored once a character hits level 51; I just can't level that person up, although my mom's mage is level 55.3 now... She's more patient than me but of course I'm only 16 so what do you expect.

So anyway, Here's what I've gotten from reading the site and stuff:

- Four skills, numerous trees branching out from them and it takes forever to level them all up (like any game)
- Customizable spells (What, can I cast a spell that does ice AND lightning damage? That'd be sweet.)
- Great community (Anyone play on the American server and confirm this?
- Basically everything you wear/use is made by crafting, and monsters drop tons of crafting materials (too many recipies I bet)
- Crafters run everything
- Consensual PvP (THANK GOD... In KO, whenever I would go to the Abyss to farm Gems to trade in, I would be interrupted by some low-level trying to kill me... I love one-hitting people with a level 51 BP )
- Lots of storyline
- FvF, GvG, duels (mass-on-1 on KO anyone? Love it when I one-hit them all with my priest or AoE them to death with my mage though), and all-out PvP
- Trial's as long as you want
- Anything else anyone wanna add?

BTW if anyone wants to show me some stuff that I can do, if I don't know how to after the tutorial, is there anyone on the American server that would show some novice?

Uh... that's all. Anyone else want to add something, they can.

I just started playing the trial a few days ago and your summary seems correct. The community on the english server is great. If you ask for info/help in the game there is almost always serveral people with answers or the ability to help out.

Your impressions are more or less correct, as far as I can tell from about a week of the newbie zone.

I can confirm on the English-speaking server that the community is great. Very friendly, and very helpful.

Yes, you can costomize your spells very easily. It is one of the best features in the game. Once you get to level 125 (highest level in all skills is 250) you will earned the racial spells electric, fire, poison, and shock. All other spells like Ice you can train from the start and upgrade it with skillpoints.

The community is one of the best I've seen in any game.

Basically everything you wear/use is made by crafting, and monsters drop tons of crafting materials (too many recipies I bet) - Crafters run everything-

Yup, yup...The game is PvE and all of the ggro will drop mats that are then used for crafrting weapons, armor, jools, and shields. Each race has their own style of armor and weapons. Plus one can also dig mats from the ground that can be also be used for crating these items, each land has its own type of mats.

Consensual PvP (THANK GOD... In KO, whenever I would go to the Abyss to farm Gems to trade in, I would be interrupted by some low-level trying to kill me... I love one-hitting people with a level 51 BP )

PvP is consensual. Mostly we have Outpost wars. There are some zones, mostly the prime roots, that are GvG which means players who enter these areas can be attack by others. I recently held a small event (boys vs girls) and we used one of these zones as our battle ground. It was lots of fun.

Lots of storyline- FvF, GvG, duels (mass-on-1 on KO anyone? Love it when I one-hit them all with my priest or AoE them to death with my mage though), and all-out PvP

The game lord is one of the richest I've ever read and won an MMORPG award.

Trial's as long as you want- Anything else anyone wanna add?

Yup, the new trial is free and you can play in the noob island ((Ruins of Silan)) for infinity. As for will you get find someone to help? yes! There is a nice Guild List in the forums for you to look over, most welcome new players and help them get started. Also from Ruins of Silan you can talk to players in the mainland throgh the Universal channel. You will not only get one answer but several to any question you may have.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy your game time with us in SoR.

I'll just add a very bit, so I snipped a bit

Yep, you can...as soon as you can learn double elemental spells - and lateron it even makes sense (in PvP)

- Crafters run everything
I'd add Harvesters and guilds to that... But you'll have to rely on capable crafters a lot.

- Consensual PvP (THANK GOD... In KO, whenever I would go to the Abyss to farm Gems to trade in, I would be interrupted by some low-level trying to kill me... I love one-hitting people with a level 51 BP )
Not everywhere, not under any circumstances. But basically it's up to you whether you're attackable or not.

- Lots of storyline
Not InGame though...Sad to say, there's tons of lore but you'll have to work it up yourself mostly, at least if you wish to RolePlay.

- Anything else anyone wanna add?
Have fun, and lots of it

BTW if anyone wants to show me some stuff that I can do, if I don't know how to after the tutorial, is there anyone on the American server that would show some novice?
You WILL have questions after completing tutorials... but that's a good thing. Even better: you will be answered

"- Lots of storyline

I have to disagree...because ingame is where it is advanced and evolved. Live events, official and player-run, are how the story is revealed and affected.

"is there anyone on the American server that would show some novice?"

Only...everyone. ::::01::

Any chance for an unrestricted PvP server type. I can't stand consentual PvP. I like to gank farmers and take their stuff.

No.
Mind you I'd like there to be one so all the PvP nuts could bugger off to that and leave the rest of the servers alone TBH.

There are non-consensual zones in the prime roots and outpost combat isn't really consensual in the proper sense.

I imagine you might be disappointed...
While there are areas where you technically even could live out your personal war against the (peaceful = "farmers") world, in SoR there is no looting player characters...

I must admit though, you made me hellishly curious about why you like that playstyle described by yourself.
