9Dragons MMORPG

[Bava]

My 9Dragons name is [malibustacy (my nick since the good ol´ CS times ), feel free to message me. But im not online that often, as im trying to get that darn 40 cannon ship in VCO atm.


After playing some hours, heres my little review for Voyage Century:

+ very nice and mature community (if you ask for help in public chat, you do actually get an helpful answer and not: ROFL.stpd n00b.)

+ at lot of skills and professions (every prof needs one to three skills): Discoverer, Blacksmith, Trader, Tailor, Alchemist, Soldier, Farmer, Shipbuilder and of course Pirate (the most difficult one). And you can do all these stuff with one character.

+ good guild system: guilds can have alliances and wars ( HUGE sea and land battles) and can take over cities on the strat map through sieges if they have enough members.

+ huge map: Europe, Africa, America, Asia: its all there. But i havent left the Med yet (its the newbie zone )

+ runs well on old comps ( 2400+ Athlon, 512 gig, geforce ti 4200, dial up internet connection are the rec. specs IIRC)

+ good vending system for your self made products

+ very stable

+ free to play

+ very helpful game forum (tons of good guides!)

+ great atmosphere


- the graphics arent that hawt (especially ground textures, but sea battles look good)

- open beta ( but it feel as much a beta as EB IMHO)

- weird text translations from time to time (its a korean game, translated by the Dev´s)

- a bit laggy (in towns, when 20+ people are trying to sell thier products)

- huge download (1 gig, 3 gigs after installation)



Resumee: 4.5 BBs out of 5 so far


If youre waiting for Pirates of the Burning Sea or *gasp* Pirates of the Carribean Online or you simply like the setting, this game kicks ***

Note: Maybe i´m bit biased, i loved these kind of games since Pirates! for C64
came out.
