Crystal Saga Noob

My short review to Crystal Saga, an Mmorpg that you explore the world of Vidalia with friends or by yourself. You begin with the choice between 5 classes  Knight, Rogue, Priest, Ranger, Mage. I for one chose to play a mage which is usually my first choice when multiple classes come available. The thing that I don't quite get about this game is ... what's it about? I searched on the main site http://cs.r2games.com/ but did not get much of an answer. 

For a browser based game it's graphics in character modelling, scenery and items are amazing. The scenery is always changing from map to map, making it more amusing to venture to new parts of Vidalia. Town don't look the same and shops are located differently which makes every town unique in its own way. The fact that this game is more then 2D but less then 3D also makes a healthy mix to the mmo genre.

Although I must admit the lack character personalization is a little bit of a turn off. I've run into hundred of characters that resemble my avatar to a T. The only way to differ you character from another is your weapon, and your pet besides that everything is the same. There is a fun aspect of this game and those are the titles that can be obtained through achievements my current one is kill,kill,kill. Another fun feature is the "nobility" ranking, the more main quests you do the higher it becomes, also winning at the battleground will increase your honor which will affect you "nobility" rank. 

I've got to say the game play is ... well ... AWES... jk I'm not a fan of it. The game has a boring pace to it, it just seems as if you don't really have a choice to pick what you'll be doing on this game. The quests are easy (for lv 30 and under that's as far as I got) and high in exp but low in coins. If you just want to level quickly questing is what you should do farming is pointless, while you quest you'll come across equips and potions dropped which most equips are sold but potions are good when going AFK. Their of hardly any use while playing the game yourself, because you'll use them more wisely.The music is annoying and gives me a big fat headache, as soon as I log on I turn off the game music and put something more appealing ... in reality it doesn't even have to be game related.   

I've been playing this game for 2 days now and have gotten my mage to level 28 with a total exp of 70%. I still do not know what makes this game so popular, maybe it's the fact it's simple and easy for anyone to play. Crystal saga is a nice distraction ... but the fact I have no clue what I'm doing and why I'm doing it, is just a turn off. Now the real question ... will I play it again? Maybe. The reason it's so short is because I've got mixed feelings over this game ... it's just not that good to wasted my time on it, but it's not that bad to not give it another chance.
