Oh well, I guess I was wrong about Puzzle Pirates.
Sword of the New World: Granado Espada is, well, awesome. It's the most addictive MMORPG since Runescape. I'll just briefly explain it. Runescape fans, this is the closest thing EVER to Runescape.Yes, you control 3 characters instead of one, and PVP is a little bit more fleshed but really not special, and it's not quite focused on organised teamplay(this might be good). Teamplay in this game is not exceptional, but good. 85-90% of quests can be played with friends, and there are
a lot of quests. While there is big political system, but no-one really cares about it. Anytime, anywhere you can make a squad(say in a dungeon)with other people, which supports up to 12 families al fighting together and if your characters are experienced enough, you are elgible to make a Level 1 clan. A clan is like a massive group(like a big ship in puzzle pirates)that can have up to 100 families. As your clan evolves, at Level 50(I think)you can make it a faction and if your family is the leader, you can go to a town and get voted on as the colony manager after buying an one-use certificate for
5 milion Vis(in game money) and then you can choose if you are going to be a Royalist or a Democrat. Other Families vote on yours, and then (hopefully) you will be Colony Manager after all that you went through and will be able to declare war on other colonies and stuff. There's a lot more to it. Now, what the hell are families? Well, each player controls 3 players. Like a strategy game. You control 3 bowmen and send them to attack dragons(they'll probably die I'm afraid). It works
PERFECT. No, seriously,it just gets everything right. Controls fare smooth and easy to learn remember for assault mode hold down control and click where you want to move. Helps in the beggining at the stone pit for leveling, and battles in SNW:GE are incredibly cool. All the member of my family at the time this writing are lv 20, and my family is called the 'UberElite' family. Well, I better stop here if I'm boring you but there's an awful lot more to say about it! Before I give you the Pros and Cons, which there's only a few of
I'll just say this. Like Runescape, it's incredibly simple to get into, and the excellent story(like Runescape, but better than other MMORPGs like Rappelz) its lacking, the gameplay more thanmakes up for it. I swear. This is not a hardcore game. Skills and stuff is also incredibly simple and doesn't use the 'tree' skills template, but one of its own. Ok! Now, let's get ready for the Pros and Cons...
Pros
-Graphics are amazing
-Gameplay is also amazing
-Sound is amazing too
-Pretty much every single aspect of this game is great
-Built in screenshot system
Cons
-3.6GB download over crappy (most of them)download servers
-Patcher is cripplingly slow but(oof)way faster than Rappelz, Rappelz haterboys
So, this is on the top of the tops! as this game continues to eveolve, it's gonna be great! Mark my words!
YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS.
By the way, if you (hopefully) do play it, scouts are more important than you think,if you enjoy PVP, but I'm more of a solo player than a competitive one. I made the same mistake for duels. And if you want to duel someone, always attack the scout first, and show him you best abilities as well.
By the way, I'm putting up a new section of pictures, called 'Sword of the New World Pwnage Gameplay'
