I'm usually not easily fazed by games that were given too much attention, but I have to give credit to Dragon Nest for living up to all the hype lol I pretty much played the game without having a single clue of what it's about. Absolutely zero research on classes, storyline, and game-play. So unlike me. I was too busy with other important things and the only reason why I even played it was because I was dragged in by a friend or two. It was quite a distraction from playing too much of Atlantica Online (that game bored me). And then here comes the issue of choosing classes. I usually go with range, and having NOT doing any research on the game... I was kinda regretful. I apparently spent a lot of time leveling up an archer only to realize that its skills and damage pale so much in comparison to a cleric. I'm quite the soloist so I thought the archer would be a good choice. Well.. not so much, especially after I had my hands all over the cleric. Holy mother..... that class OWNS. I have also tried out the other classes as well. Not feeling the Sorceress class for some unknown reason (unlike my friend who's absolutely crazed about that class), the warrior seemed OK but ... not my type. So.. back to the cleric I guess? Only thing I'm not really happy about is that all these characters have fixed genders -_- I want a FEMALE CLERIC! Do you have any idea how long it took me to come up with a nickname that fits a MALE CLERIC?? The agony. Anyway, regarding the game-play. It was quite a challenge starting out, but I eventually got used to it. I can't say whether I'm really addicted to the game or not as I don't go on it everyday. But when I'm on it, I couldn't find a reason to stop. Well.. unless the game goes on a maintenance or I got kicked out for having a crappy internet connection, most of the time I would be in there grinding like no tomorrow. What perhaps kept me interested was the TITLES, and the hunt for better equips. I don't like playing a game where equips are limited (and almost zero % in terms of item drops). The over-crowded servers can be quite a pain (queuing up behind 800 players to enter a server??) but overall I quite like the game :D I mean, in comparison with the many MMORPGs out there, this one has the potential to be the next big thing IFFFFFF more contents are being put out and the level cap, raised.
