Carpe Diem November 3, 2006

Hmm. Carpe Diem. There isn’t much to say, except that it means seize the day.
Carpe Diem!

Oh yeah, it’s a fun game. Firstly, there are great graphics and the main soundtrack is oh-so-soothing and I love it so much, I play it over and over till my sister threatens to strangle me. Secondly, the guys in the game are so HaWt, perfect complexion and nice eyes, angular jawline…-drools- Whoa those are just pixels and pentagons. Aww. Haha girls would love to zoom in and just Stare at the screen. Ask *lala, that’s what she did XD

Thirdly, Feys get to ride bears, Dragonbloods get to ride Minotaurs and Humans get to ride boring old horses. Ok, they turn into unicorns at some level and become so much more beautiful. Yeah yeah, ugly horselings. (No offense!) Also, each of the three classes have different gameplays, different quests and varying storylines that add up to the full story. Eh, bad english but you get the point.

Fourthly, there are regiments, aka personal army. Something like a guild, regiments conquer dungeons and powerful weapons, which sounds like WoW, but nevermind, because this isn’t WoW, and regiments have a cool purple coloured chat. Ha.

Fifthly, the possession system is really fun. Each class (Human, Fey, Dragonblood) gets different career choices. Those mage classes get to possess other warrior classes for the Dragonbloods, while Feys get to possess humans. Yea they get a free ride ^^ See one of the pics for a “possessed” picture. Although the word possession does sound wrong, well, it’s just some translation thingy I guess.

Sixthly, and uber-importantly, this is a Dual-action MMORPG. Instead of computer controlled baddie bosses, you have Mister Uzziel, whose name is commonly mispelled, as the BIG BAD BOSS who is -gasp- human controlled! No one has ever seen how he looks like yet, as his attacks comprise sending loads of monsters to overwhelm the troops. However, rest assured he is alive and well and likes to attack you. I was training at some secluded spot with my party when Uzziel decided to tease us noobies and threw monsters at us for about an hour. Then, when it was silent, one guy said “That was so easy! Give us something harder!”

Along came a gargolye and killed us all. That was fun. You don’t lose exp when you die. Unlike Maple.

Drawbacks
1. It’s only the open beta that starts from the 9th Nov. After the few months of open beta, it’ll be a pay-to-play game. Prices can be found here.
