While I though the whole concept of MMO's was incredibly awesome when I first heard about it, and craved getting into one, I've only played four games of this kind at most, quitting three of them within one month of playing. I must confess I have never played the great authority of MMORPG games, which is World Of Warcraft. Several factors stopped me from doing so; primarily, buying the game and paying the monthly fee.
2 years ago I wondered if free-to-play MMO's even existed, and a friend of mine back then let me know that not only they were a reality and there were plenty of them, but that a new title, a sequel of a game called "Holic", had been translated and released exclusively to Colombia as "Expedición Holic". The original name of this MMO is "Holic 2", which was developed by the Korean online gaming company mgame. Other two versions of the game exist: "Lunatia", which is the Japanese version, and "Cloud Nine", which is the name of the American version of Holic 2 that was released a year after Expedición Holic. That version of the game was the first MMO that I ever played, and although I got very hooked to the game, started to get addicted to it and spent too much time on it (which is totally NOT GOOD!), it was a very fun and enjoyable experience that I don't regret having.
I will refer from now on to the Holic 2 - Expedición Holic - Lunatia - Cloud Nine "tetra-pack" as Cloud Nine only, given that the only difference between versions is the language and some special events that differ between regions.
Cloud Nine at its core is not that strikingly different to all the other MMORPGs out there: It is set on a fantasy world separated by X number of factions (in this game there are two), you have to complete quests, grind, get mounts and pets, team with other players in order to beat bosses, level up, get "glory" gear, etc... standard stuff. However, there are certain aspects that really make this game stand out:
For instance, you have available three different races to choose from, which are Seneka (Human), Matska (Human-tiger) and Koshare (some weird dog-like dwarfs), each one having a male and female version. Each race-genre combination has its own unique, special skill tree; that means that the skill tree of a male Seneka is DIFFERENT form the female Seneka tree, which makes genre choice a decision to really take into consideration.
There are 6 classes in the game, which are Warrior, Priest, Hunter, Rouge, Monk and Mage. Unlike several other MMOs, where the class you can choose is restricted to your race, in Cloud Nine you can choose any kind of race-class combination (finally something that WoW doesn't have!!). Not only that, but after you hit a certain level you get to choose a sub-class that you can switch back and forth with your main class!
The advantage of this is that you can choose to have two classes that complement the other's weaknesses, like being a Warrior when you need to tank, and then turn into a Rouge if you need to do fast damage. The downside of this system is that both classes have to be leveled separately; very, very few people in the game actually level both of their classes, and just focus on one of their classes while the other remains mostly unused. However, the very few people that do level up both gain great in-game flexibility.
Some extra features worth noting are the card collection system, the pet system and the monster costume system. Every time you destroy a creature you may get a card with the image of the creature, which you can later "paste" in a collection book. Once you have completed a book, you can trade it for special items that allow you to catch certain creatures, and use them as pets once captured. Also, you might get monster costumes, which allow you to transform into a creature or boss of the game, and attack other players; even players of your own faction!
There are plenty of other features that make Cloud Nine different from a lot of other MMO out there, and that makes it stand alone as a great title of the genre. Also, from experience and the user-photo section of the main page, I can testify that unlike most MMOs, there is a big amount of girls playing the game, which gives one the chance to socialize in-game both with women and men, and not only men!. Thus, if you want to engage in a free-to-play fantasy themed MMORPG with anime-style characters, a colorful world, talk with some girls, and experience plenty of features not found even in games like World Of Warcraft, you should definitely check it out!
Just don't get too hooked to it... or any other game to that matter!
