MMORPG had become social game play within today's society. Imagine the old fashion Ragnarok Online since 2001, with the development of 3D technologies, Blizzard came up with World of Warcraft which hit the global market in 2007. Impressively, there are much more other online games with better graphics. For a Pay to Play online game such as Aion online which was release recently in May, 2009, it potrays a more realistic effect of the environment which only players with high graphic card will able to experience it. Now, NHN had came up with the new release of Karos online which provide Free to Play service together with better graphic effect compared to other 3D MMORPG.
On 21st August, NHN Europe realease their Close Beta Test server for Karos Online. With this opportunity, I had myself register as one of their Close Beta Tester. With the provided game client, the size of it is only 700MB and will additionally patch another 100MB + of it's game files.
The game starts with a login page as similar to other MMORPGs. After successfully login to the game server, the game leads you to Character Creation screen. There are three classes for players to choose at the moment which are Blader, Bowmistress and Rogue. As seen in the screen, there are other classes which are not able to be selected yet. This shows Karos Online have their future development of this game.
After creating your character, you are able to access the game server. There'll be Character Selection for players to select their playable characters before entering the game. As shown from the screen, players are only able to create maximum of four chracters.
I was amazed by the environment graphic effect after I entered into the game world. With high graphic settings, players are able to view the details of the game. But, even with low graphic setting, players are still able to feel the breezy effect in the game world.
By default, the game graphic settings are set to high. Players with low graphic card will be able to change the setting to medium or low which ever fits the players' desire. But for some technical problem caused by my wireless router, I was not able to play this game at ease since it kept disconnecting. So far, I'm only able to reveal how the game environment is. Quest and other function will be revealed after I'm back to my work port at Damansara.
After exiting the game for the first time, a small browser will pop up which contains survey question of the game. Seems that the developer wants to hear opinions from players to improve the gameplay environment that suits the majority.
