This seemed more of a fluffy prose piece that describes run of the mill magic items. What makes the items in 9 dragons more than your average buff/debuff? I like the concept of the game of course, but what will make the game stand out from the rest?

I saw the article as one that descibes in general the game play. I am looking forward to being able to see what this game is really about.

This game looks pretty good but if you go to the official forums for this game you'll see there are no comments or updates from devs at all. They don't seem to be too receptive to any feedback at all and answer no questions. You may get a response from a board mod but even they will tell you they don't know what’s really going on. It just kind of rubs me the wrong way

Ive played lineage II and they have one of the best looking worlds that ive ever seen, so im excited about what the world will look like in 9 dragons, as far as the rest of the game, it intrigues me. Just hoping that character creation is a little more indepth than lineage II was .

I've been in alot of betas, and whenever the devs are "distant" it's always been a very bad sign. I've heard from someone in this beta who's told me that they haven't seen any devs in-game (that they knew were devs at least) and they haven't seen any way to give any feedback. The setting sounds interesting and the pics look ok (not fantastic certainly), it does sound very much like a "typical" asian-market game. I'm betting there's alot of grind, and if you're not pretty hard-core into the pvp thing it'll probably get boring pretty quickly. |

Sorry, Lineage is one of the best mmorpgs the asians have made, pay 2 play also. Comparing this 9 dragons game to the best would be setting it up for failure. It will fail on its own merits of being a generic f2p grinder :) |

It seems that there will be a lot of grinding and surely it looks like the typical asian MMOs by the signs. And we have many many MMOs of that same type (Hero Online, Silkroad Online, etc). I just hope it will not be like them for this game has potential. |

i have to say, this game is much different from Hero or Silkroad based on my experience with the vietnamese version. Hero just restricts you to the skillbooks that you can buy for the character and each class can only use 3 weapons. In Silkroad, all you do is kill for skill points to learn skills. In 9Dragons, you have to donate items to your clan to get points to learn skills with. You have to reach a certain level first though. Eventually all characters become part of | ||
