<div class="IPBDescription">anyone tried it?</div> So, as I see it a few of us are in the Closed Beta. What do you think of it?
Graphically it is quite nice even with a few number of glitches (bad shadows, missing piece of forehead, VERY noticeable lines, and the skills system (buying spellbooks and seeing a guy) is something I quite like and out of what I have already seen (of course, my MMORPG knowledge is quite weak)
However, I do not like the attack system (select target -> action) that much, especially considering the fact targeting doesn't lock itself like in Ragnarok (you have to click precisely on it, which is annoying for hit and run like archers)
The PK's are quite annoying considering they remove 10% of your level XP (which is quite a lot with mass PK'ers) and especially for the fact you can GO BACK a level after having lost enough %'s
Parties are quite annoying to make as well.
That's it I can say from the small amount of time I have played
Fear not if you are not in the Closed Beta, since the Open one starts this Sunday (with a wipe of the closed beta characters, for even grounds)

Note that the client will be downloadable most probably only starting Sunday for the open beta.
I see no glitches but a few shadow ones in it. The targeting system is just fine with me. My only problem is, it doesn't encourage partying very heavily, or joining a clan much at all.
- Korean Open Beta -> Orc Raider, lvl 22
- Korean p2p -> Orc Raider, lvl 24
- Taiwanese Beta -> Dark Elf, hmm i think i was figher.. not sure, lvl 20
Then i got bored and quit.
Here is some screenshots:
Screenshot #1 (Korean p2p)
Because they're using sex to sell the game, and that's probably all that's good about it.

Castle? Dragons? Stable party? Seems like plenty of encouragement.

Use the hot keys. Then all you have to do is select the mob and hit a function key. I use the hotkeys for pretty much everything.
I was worried about download speeds for a second there.
Though I as a Dark Elf Fighter plan on slaughtering all the little ones once I'm level 20 or so. That'll be good fun.
And aren't "download managers" "spyware installers"?
And yes, its open beta now, but don't start until Sunday. It'll be nice and ready then.
hmm I don't think the korean beta version works on the american open beta.

hmm, i know that but that was like 6 month ago. When the koreanan beta was released, not now <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Haven't responded to my request for an email yet, and the file server seems to be down as well.
Probably huge stress on them, but meh. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
It's still your average MMORPG grind really. But still quite fun. You, unfortunately, can't dance, or strip.
Right now i'm playing a level 4 female Dark Elf named Pykmyn and a level 6 female Dwarf by the name of Esyyrk. Say hi if you see me, although i'll most likely be the dwarf.
