Arad (DnF) [Foreign MMO]

[Belmont]

This is the MMORPG that is hooking me right now and for a long time, it's one of the most popular Korean MMORPGS out there - but not because it's anything like WoW, but because it's FUN and requieres SKILL (this is NOT a point and click MMO).

The graphics are in 2d, but not like MapleStory, I can't explain it as I don't know the English word, but you can see it in the following videos. (The Korean version has got red blood, Japanese version has got white blood, incase you were wondering why they were different in different videos)

I play on the Japanese server right now (and planning to stay) with a lot of friends - and we have settled up an English speaking guild too, also if you were wondering how I can do quests and know what each skill does, we are using theJapanese wiki translated with Google, also the English DnF Wiki (it had skills, they were deleted, but they might have been reverted back again).

If you decide to join the Japanese version, I'll provide you with assistance in all I can, since there's an IP block for the Japanese version (due to a foreign hacker attack) but the proxy we use is really easy to use and has got an English version, and I can help you with any problems you might have!

And here I will leave some of my favorite videos, links to the English and Japanese Wiki (translated).

Reminds me of Diablo 2 (with the interface - red/blue potion bottles in the exact same position), Duke Nukem and a WoW sort of action bar. It's looks pretty decent, I don't think I could handle it though.

I checked out the first movie and I was all like "WTF?" but then I was all like "FTW!" and then I was like "Konami arcade games at the skating rink F- yeah!"
But I don't think I'll play it. I need to save some GBs for Darkfall

Looks like they looked at Diablo 2 and Streets of Rage and went "That would be a great game" and put it online.

If this ever came to America, I actually think it might be big.

Totally reminded me of classic sidescrollers like Final Fight and Streets of Rage... except with guns and level ups... looks fun, but I think going through the proxies and translations would be way too much effort compared to just point and click. If it was translated and came to the US, though, I think it'd be popular to people who remember the early 90's.

I forgot to mention that - you only need to turn on the proxy for logging in the website, then you can turn it off, also there's 5 different 1st classes (each leading to 4 different 2nd classes (priest and mage only have 3 right now, though).

Also, there is an English version planned (as far I recall) but remember that the Japanese and Korean versions are far ahead in updates, wich might make the game not as interesting.

And, the game does not requiere a powerful computer (ran it perfectly with a MX440 (a 64mb card, when my 6660GT fried last year)) also, the game only weights 1 GB with all patches and stuff.

As long as the English version looks remotely like what I saw on the Youtube videos, I'm sold.
