<div class="IPBDescription">this is pretty darn close =3</div> been playing this for a bit; sure it's a little confusing at first but it's basically gauntlet with extra nobs on, a touch of engrish and online... also with PvP if you want to do some of that ^^
<a href='http://english.spgame.com' target='_blank'>http://english.spgame.com</a>
couple of things; there's levels and stuff but it's not an MMORPG. It's kinda like gunbound but it plays like online gauntlet. For the unfortunate few who don't know gauntlet; uh... think stuff like chaos engine, smash TV, etc.
I'm 'Jemma' if anyone wants to whisper me ingame or add me to their friends list =D
couple of tips:
Use keyboard setup 2; trust me on this one... it's hellish trying to aim with keyboard 1 and thought I think it might work well with a pad I couldn't seem to get mine working with it so =P
Damned if I know how the magic and items work but I'm sure I'll figure them out eventually lol.
<b>lil bit extra edit:</b> There's several play modes, the first of which you'll be getting used to is 'quest' where it's the players trying to find all the crystals and kill every single monster in sight. Pretty fun, but there's other modes too and other quests you unlock as you level. If your'e tired of the action you can make a 'social' room where people can fight but not die and you can basically sit and chat in the cute environments... you can also get a lot of cards in there too so they're useful for something beyond chilling and mucking about =3

Ill catch you guys in a bit I guess, just back from work and I've got a thing or two to do before I'm free =3
figgurwed out a few more things, and got a few more Qs:
So there are 3 types of item cards
armor (shield, armor, Pendant, Boots)
Weapon (Axe, Rod, Sword, Bow)
Magic
you can have one of each and I THINK that eachhas to be a diff element.
You use elemental cards+code to level up your item cards (elementals are those moving things in lvls that look like lite faces)
HOW you do this I don't know (if any one can tell me pls do)
Gold cards are basicaly more powerful versions of the normal item cards HOWEVER you have to put real money into the game to get em. And they return back to black cards after a set # of days <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Strategy stuff:
This game is all about stunlocking (you hit some one and they can't do squat for a quarter sec) unfortunatly it seems that one class has a horible advantage with this (Electric mage), thus why every one friken plays as him.
The Archer is good at stunlocking at range, but she runs outa mana fast.
A Few chars don't rely on stunlocking (the Vampire for one), however they still seem to get owned when a stunlocker comes around.
I played as the Vampire for a few and thus picked up a few things on her:
1) The entire absorb enemy dmg is actualy that yor close attack does life drain (sorta usseles seeing how as it is very short range and thus you tend to get stun locked)
2) The secondary attack is sorta good at stun locking, but is realy nice for when some one is charging you. Queue up a few of the bats as they close then switch to prinary. They basicaly take a face full of dmg <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
so yah, if any one figgures oiut a way around stunlocking please tell me <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
I just use the 'dodge/defend' key when I see someone coming to hit me so I don't actually get hit much. I also build up that weird bar thing lots but I don't know what it does or having it maxxed means =/
one thing I should say to anyone who's not played it is that it also feels a little bit like the snes Zelda in the way that you run and the combat itself. It's kinda like gauntlet and zelda and that sony game I used to play: 'infantry'.
really weird but kinda fun ^^
and I think it's 4 cards than, though I'll have to go into the game to find out what the 4th is =3
Probably 'acessory' or something.
doesn't it seem strange the Koreans suddenly throw tons of online games at us?
EDIT : BTW anyone looking for me, Haisho is ingame nick <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

there gonna take over our computer network and stuff adn then they can launch us into a life relating to the book/video game genre of cyberpunk. Meh Im all for it.
Korean online games have been a staple for like the past 10 years or so.
They were not AS large as they are now, but thats b/c not nearly as many people had BBand
Kinda getting the hang of it now... gonna buy either an axe or a bow, some fire boots and probably fire, water or earth magic =3
played for a few hours, got high enough for the third world thingy... though now the diablo boredom factor is sorta setting in =P you know, when you realize the gameplay isn't gonna change much no matter how much time you spend in it...
it tends to be too easy when there's only 1 or 2 enemies on your screen... and too hard when there's 5 or 6 =P
oh, that bar that fills up: my impression is that when iti's maxed, every hit you make will be critical until it goes away... and I think it fills up as you take damage... that's just my guess... :>
the higher you go the more game-modes open!
sure, I can already tell the diablo factor is gonna hit me but at least this is me dodging stuff and whatnot instead of stats =P
I'm still undecided between the punch-throwing angel, the firemage and the elf. The elf's really weak and runs out of just about everything really fast but it almost feels like a challenge, plus she's super manouverable. Mind you there's nothing quite like flying up to someone and giving them a nice big punt in the face with your fist <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
the double fireballs in your face is cool too... I'm such a melee freak lol.
Then take our money.
Course, if there's a teammate around they can save you but if you're in on your own? night night =/
stunlocking sucks, nuff said
the nuber of times I have had death show up behind me rightr when I am timing a barrier run is just sad.
<b>Hapless player:</b> "If I can just time this right.... 1... 2... AAAAAHHHHHH DEATH!!!!"
~whack~ ~zap~ ~whack~ ~zap~ ~whack~ ~zap~ ...3 minutes later... ~whack~ ~zap~ x.X
GAME OVER
cuss we all know how true that is <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Either that or I screw up and get my self stunlocked in a corner by 5 baddies <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Yes Thansal....tell us....
(I'm stuck on the same level as you are, same problem)
Zap Zap....SCHWING!
I think I've seen 6 as the max but as we level up it might turn into an 8 player max for all we know =P
