  • and one last thing... let's not forget they are in the Closed Beta Testing Phase... it's not even officially releasd yet.    Whose to say what kind of changes (good or bad... depending on your POV) will happen between CLosed Beta, Open Beta and then final release.

• • This Game Rocks!

  • Not an employee... just someone who appreciates a good game.  I never said it wasn't without it's flaws...  but at the same time, I'm am extremely tired of the mass complaining about the Stamina System....it's a free game for frak sake...  a good one. Don't get me wrong,  I love a good grindfest... and yes this stops, if not at least slows down the grind.  But as I said in above.... I just got done playing for 6 1/2 hours and had 70+ Stamina left.  PvP is the answer.  Join the League, win a few battles.  Also sit and play the market. 

    My personal opinion on the Stamina system is that they are trying to kill the professional farmers.  You know, those International companies that sell in-game gold for real cash (20,000,000.00 for $19.95).  Those service kill the ingame economy... just look at the prices in Rappelz....  and sure, maybe to drive thier own Cash Mall, but it is thier game..... at least they are releasing it.

• • Weapon Recommendation?

  • Well.... that's a little vague.  Weapons are good.  I recommend them.  

    Specifically try to get your weapons to a +3.. you can go higher, but it's all about the cost effectiveness of upgrading the current weapon or waiting for the next level (ie...a +3 Spirit Weapon good for low level, but if you take time to try for +5 or better...it might be cheaper in the long run to get a +3 Ocean weapon at lvl 15......)

  • Allow me a moment to tell you a little about my personal Atlantica Online experience. I was lucky enough to be involved with the Closed Beta Round 1, and am currently enjoying the Closed Beta Round 2. Now let me start by saying that I am normally a 'silent beta tester'. Even though I have played MANY Beta's, I rarely find that my input is required as most of the other players involved have already raised any concerns that I may have had and after all the game developers can always pull the data to review, if needed. In addition, I have never written a review for a game either. This game has changed that, for me at least. I highly suggest a test-drive for this game.

    I was instantly drawn to the game's design and ambiance. It is very pretty visually, and quite enjoyable to play. Like many of the other MMORPG's out there, this one has an elegantly simplistic interface, point and click action and, in addition, re-introducing one of my favorite aspects of console RPG's... my own team to control and advance, not just my main character. This is accomplished by hiring your choice of Mercenaries (the first 3 are given as part of the introduction sequences, and later you hire/earn them thru various means). On the main screen it is just your main character (choose between Sword, Axe, Bow, Cannon, Gun and Spear, all with thier own unique attributes and skills) running around and interacting with the world. However, once you engage in a battle (either PvP or Quest/Random Encounters) the rest of your team appears (remember the FF games we all loved!). They are set up on a 3x3 grid (you control the formation) and your opponents are on a similar grid across from you and battle ensues in a turn-based manner. The game also has many skills you can learn and eventually teach if you so desire by Mentoring lower level characters, or for in game gold (ie.. cooking... medicine... making armor/weapons). You can combine armor and weapons to advance and enhance them (more damage/defense always good!), not to mention the extensive online community (most of which are very polite and helpful). With the in game guild system, you will never be alone and bored...unless that's what you want.

    I won't delve too deeply into the Stamina System that was introduced in the Closed Beta Round 2, other than to say that upon it's initial introduction I, like many players, was a little concerned how this would affect the gameplay. I found that it didn't really impact me that much. During the week, I have about 5 to 6 hours a day that I game and I do not run out of Stamina in that time. On the weekends....well, I have two characters (you can have up to 3 on an account) that I alternate between. Not a problem for me. Part of my time is involved in other aspects of the game (ie... combining and also playing around in the in-game market). See the official website and look over the documentaion on this under thier Announcements area, it explains how it works.

    All in all, I would highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun and extensive gaming experience. It is a free game, so there is no harm in trying.
