MMO Babes Galore: Pixel Loveliness

MMO Babes Galore: Pixel Loveliness
By Kei Beneza (dividelife), OnRPG journalist

Half time break!

 

After reading tons of reviews from the MMO list, I though it would be nice to sit down and have a break with our MMO lovelies. Do I really have to have a reason to post and discuss MMO babes? Here we have a set of feisty females ready to enhance your gaming zen. It would definitely suck if muscles were the only things that populated MMO games right? It’s girly madness right here folks, although I’m afraid there’s no Lara Croft here as we’re tired of her overrated polygonal funbags. Join us as we unveil Onrpg’s very own list of top MMO babes.

 

Avalon & Jessica – Hellgate London

Status: retired & probably looking for another job

If there were evera reason why gamers would buy a crappy game like Hellgate London, it would definitely be Avalon and Jessica. For those of you who don’t know, Avalon is the sexy black-haired Templar who faced the gigantic demon in the early trailers. She’s so hot that she actually gained a spot in the videogame edition of Playboy magazine where she showed (uh hem) the underlying sexiness beneath her oh so tight armor. As for Jessica, having a hot blonde babe lead an anti demon force would be far more effective than any Uncle Sam poster, yes? We’re actually trying to hire a private eye to find out their whereabouts after the unfortunate closing of Hellgate London. Rawr!

Nao Mariota Pryderi – Mabinogi

Status: Still there and single WOOT

After meeting Nao in the world of Mabinogi, I finally knew why the MMOs use the theme “fantasy life”. No doubt that this angel is one of the hottest babes in MMO history. With that tight dress (too tight for her own good) and puppy dog eyes, she should definitely watch out (*snarl). Nao as a kid was quite jealous of other girls whose bodies matured earlier than hers. Upon seeing what she’s become, I kinda wonder who’s laughing now. Nao can raise people from the dead, which is a rather scary skill for a hot chick to posses. She also accepts gifts (clothes and costumes) and gladly wears them for you if you want… She’s definitely BIG in more ways than one.

Valeera Sanguinar & Jaina Proudmoore – World of Warcraft

Status: Single, but her heart is taken

Ooh la la! I’ve never seen a blood-elf dress this hawt before. Valeera Sanguinar is a feisty little thing who served King Varian for years. I don’t know what’s wrong with the guy but I would definitely have kept her in the castle if I were king. Valeera was orphaned as a kid after her village was pillaged by a pack of unruly bandits. She then entered the bloody ring as a gladiator along with Broll Bearmantle and Lo’gosh (Now King Varian Wrynn). Valeera like most Bloodelves is very susceptible to arcane addiction, this particular drug drives her insane at times, but it’s okay cause’ every womangets like that occasionally. She used to dress in a very skimpy outfit, which revealed most of her sexyfigure, too bad it was replaced by a rather unorthodox set of armor that doesn’t seem to be as sexy as the old one.

 

Jaina Proudmoore Babe

Jaina Proudmoore

 

As for Jaina Proudmoore. This girl captured the hearts of both Kaelthas Sunstrider and the Lich King himself (at least when he was still human). Jaina wears an armored dress that seems to hug her body oh so perfectly. One look and you know she’s hiding an awesome bod inside that epic gear. Geez no wonder Kaelthas went all emo, cause this is one girl you wouldn’t want to lose.

 

The Karfras – Ragnarok Online

Status: No idea

 

(*Sigh) Kafras represents the hottie stereotypes from most anime films. They have lolitas, BIG mature females, innocent looking girlies and overly boyish/aggressive girls. There’s nothing more to ask as Ragnarok has hired these babes to teleport players from one place to another, as well as store items for later use. I’m not sure if it’s a scam set by Ragnarok online, but I’ve been teleporting and storing stuff more often than I was supposed to. Kafra charms? Maybe.

Eve and Cynn – Guildwars

Status: Still being paid for service.

Eve and Cynn are mercenaries whom you would definitely want in your party. Aside from Cynn’s powerful elemental damage, Eve can also supply you with a bunch of meat warriors who will fight to even the odds. Cynn is a smart-arse mage who acts like a spoiled princess, leading her to more trouble than a bowl of Charr warriors. She’s also very smart and quite talented in the arts of magic. Eve on the other hand is a total psycho (then again, psycho chicks rule). Not only does she experiment on dead bodies, she also talks to a hollow skull that she calls Adam. Aside from adding sexy aesthetics to your band of merry men, these girls can definitely pack a punch. Don’t believe me? Just ask the Charr.

The Elves of Lineage II – Lineage II (doi)

Status: Still seducing people

Yes sir! It’s the elves of Lineage II! No I’m not talking about the Elves alone. I’m taking about both the Caucasian and darkelves. Aside from their difference in color, these babes really know how to accessorize. The White elves do dress a bit conservatively compared to the drow (dark elves) but they still give an image of elegance unmatched by non-elven creatures. As for the dark elves… eh hem no sir, that is not a magic wand in your pocket. Dark elves are sexy beyond reason, with their well-curved bodies and oh so seductive looks. They seem to really enjoy wearing armor that doesn’t really protect them from harm; instead, wearing a series of belt-like straps that covers just the faintest details of their naked bodies. Kinda gives you a good idea why their enemies are so distracted. Are they really dressed for war?

The Rakshasa – Tantra

Status: Still not wearing armor

Rakshasas are the resident assassins of Tantra. These women are bound to blow your head off(no pun intended). Vanity is one of their leading traits, and yet what’s not to be vain about? Here we have women with daggers dressed up like they’re taking a long vacation ata beach resort. I suppose I can smile while under their leg headlocks or deathgrips. At least I can die with a smile on my face.

 

Tantra Rakshasa

 

It would seem that Single player games aren’t the only ones who can have gaming babes. Honestly, MMO babes are sexier and definitely dress up skimpier than their single player counterparts. The best part is that you’ll be seeing them until you quit the game. Since the game doesn’t end, feel free to visit them and maybe… just maybe, someday they will jump out of your screen and…

Alganon MMO Game Now Subscription Free Announced

Alganon MMO Game Now Subscription Free Announced

 

Quest Online announces the Alganon has gone Subscription Free with its persistent fantasy-based MMOG title Alganon.

Alganon has converted to a Subscription Free MMOG and in April 2010 a new Tribute Market System, instances and numerous other enhancements will be released. Alganon continues to offer a great new and growing true persistent fantasy world for gamers to enjoy.
QOL engaged Alganon as a Soft Launch in December for the purposes of refining the product and getting in-tune with the industry and player needs. There were two key things to do; refine the game, and review Alganon’s position in the market. QOL held back all marketing during the new year because many AAA titles taking the spotlight and determined the best course of action for Alganon’s success in 2010 was to convert to Subscription Free and build a new Tribute Market System for the players. QOL is moving out of the Soft Launch phase of Alganon into full Official Release on April 8th and introducing the Tribute Market System.

 

This Tribute Market System will serve as the foundation of Alganon’s new real-dollar transactional framework. This market will support three categories of purchases: Items, Boons, and Services.
1. Items include Pets, Mounts, Equipment, Access Keys, Potions, Boxed Collections, Tokens and specialty items that will be available through the Market.
2. Boons are specific to studies and allow the purchase of study-time. This provides the player with options since the study system directly relates to access of advanced game content and systems. A player could purchase a year of studies right away or use the studies system in real-time, boons simply lets the player accelerate that time.
3. Initial Services will be character transfers
One thing that makes the Tribute Market System unique is Item Maintenance. With this players will never lose certain items they purchase from the market (one’s that are not a consumable or have a finite number of charges). This allows players to buy that special mount and use their Tribute to pay Maintenance on the mount to keep it active. If it goes inactive, they can easily reactivate with Tribute instead of having to re-purchase the mount.
Tribute is account-wide, so the points can be used by any character. In addition, players can purchase Items via a web-browser on MyAlganon or through the game. Any character tied to their account can then claim the items.
Players who pre-paid for subscriptions will be getting a special bonus. QOL is taking the amount they spent on subscription fees and converting it to Alganon Tribute. Pre-Paid quarterly players will get 839 Tribute, semi-annual will get 1,559 Tribute and annual will get 2,878 Tribute deposited into their accounts after the April launch.

 

The official April release build of Alganon not only includes the new Tribute Market System, but numerous new and redesigned features, most noticeably the collection of Dungeon Instances, and a fully redesigned Starter experience (including completely unique starter areas).
Alganon embraces the vibrant immersive style of persistent large-scale open-world game play many recent MMOGs have been lacking. Players in Alganon don’t feel funneled through a small segmented world; instead they grow and expand on their own, following the more than 1,600 available quests. With the addition of the integrated Library system and MyAlganon support, QOL has a game with both the world and features players have been looking for.
More information available on the on the Alganon website

Kunlun Online

Kunlun Online is a 2.5D Chinese fantasy-themed MMORPG based on mythological classic Shan Hai Jing.

In the beginning of the time, Pan Gu, the first God, split the cosmic egg of Yin and Yan and created the Sky and Earth. Goddess Nüwa then created human from clay. Soon after, three realms emerged: Gods and immortals took home in the Sky(Heaven); Human lived on the Earth and established tribes as population grew; and evil sprits infested the under world called Nether World.  Conflicts and warfare thereafter never stopped as the gods and demons sought ruthlessly for dominance and assert influence over the human.

Kunlun Mountain, first made a pillar by Pan Gu to prevent the Sky from falling, was built into a paradise where gods and immortals dwelled when they were on the Earth. Taosits also gathered here to practice alchemy and body-spirit cultivation in questing for immortality.  Therefore, Kunlun was endowed magical powers appealing to all and invited never ending chaos. It is mission of every player to search for the divine magic, unite the tribes, fend off the evil force, and restore the harmony that once blessed the world. 

Key features include
– A beautiful divine world – with mythical creatures unseen, stories unheard of , and rituals never experienced before
– Dazzling PVP system – players are free to engage in battles in form of tribe vs. tribe, clan vs. clan, team vs. team, or one on one, and get rewarded with loots and glory.
– DIY your characters – choose from various skills and freely allocate points to your like
– Unique equipment enhancement – legend says the Five Elements can strengthen or weaken each other. One’s power becomes unpredictable when he or she enhances equipments with the star-upgrade and the five-element gem inlay
– Never fight alone – powerful and royal pets are always at your side

Base Zodiac Review: Slow Pace and Generic

Base Zodiac Review: Slow Pace and Generic
By Vincent Haoson (Vincenthaoson), OnRPG Journalist

 

The title of the game and its tagline usually tell you the type of gameplay you should expect from said game. However, Base Zodiac is one of those games where the title means very little in respect to what the game is supposed to be.

 

Here we go again

What we have in Base Zodiac is a game that puts you in the position of an owner of a planet chock full or resources that are ripe for the picking. As its owner, it is your responsibility to develop your planet to eventually grow your area of influence and get more planets to establish your empire. With that said, you can see that the game is one among dozens of space themed browser games. You rule, strategize and eventually conquer the weak in this repackaged browser game.

 

Your planet, Your rules

In Base Zodiac, developing your planet means developing its technology, structures and even creating new units. This concept of owning a planet and mining it for what’s it worth is the typical path games of this genre take and Base Zodiac is exactly like that. However, the game does at least provide you some .gif images that can move, call it a redeeming quality since it does get tiring playing text games of this type.

 

Resources ‘r us

When in games like this resource gathering is one of the most important actions you must do and Base Zodiac has four resources which you need to gather. The way you gather the resource is not much of a surprise, especially if you have already played games like this. Nothing new is added to the gathering formula, all you need to do is create the structure and let it harvest for you. Making upgrades to the gathering structures reward you with higher resource turnouts.

 

Base Zodiac

 

Actions

Base Zodiac’s actions are dictated by time, unlike turn based browser games, which use action points as their way of limiting a players action. This means that there can be a lull period before you get to witness the action you wanted your fleet to take. The use of time as the limiting factor for a players action is a double edged sword. It can either make the game boring because you have to wait for a certain period of time to elapse before you get to see some action or it can be good that there is a lull because you get to do something else before anything new happens.

 

Base Zodiac is a game that you can play while working on something else as the game literally takes time to play, being able to multi-task while playing is a redeeming quality because you can make the game a distraction while working without using much of your computers resources. On the other hand, if you are the kind of player that is practically glued to your chair and is itching for action, the game definitely kills your adrenaline rush.

 

Going About in the game

The game is basically point and click. Everything is done through your mouse. You won’t use any keyboard controls, unless it’s pressing F5 to refresh. The simplicity of the game controls adds to its charm as something of a semi-attention getting browser game. Of course the downside of this game is that it lacks enough encouragement for hardcore players.

 

Wiki Page

Base Zodiac has its own Wiki page set up but it’s not really as full as you’d expect. Plus there are images in the main page that are taken from other games. I really have to mention the Wiki page for Base Zodiac because it carries a lot of the bulk of the gameplay information. The FAQ and the in-game help guide only provides a portion of what you need to learn to be an effective “ruler” therefore the reliance on the game’s Wiki page.

 

Conclusion

Base Zodiac is like any other resource-centric browser-based game. It has everything a game of this genre has and with that said Base Zodiac doesn’t provide anything new added to gameplay. The lack of anything new or innovative in Base Zodiac is one of the things that makes me think twice about playing the game. Furthermore I encountered a problem with the private messaging system when I received a message. I was able to see that I had a message sent to me but I never got to read it. I have no idea if its part of the system or if it was just a rare case, but it did happen. Even with this flaw, I still say there are still enough merits for the game to make it playable. The one best merit for it would be that you can play the game anywhere. It doesn’t take resources from your computer. Plus, with your actions limited to real time you won’t have the reason to keep on looking at the game every minute or so.

 

Base Zodiac is a game that has a really slow pace therefore I strongly suggest if you are one of the hot-blooded players who want instantaneous action then you better veer away from this game. However if you are someone looking for a little distraction for work then this game is for you. Don’t let the lack of anything innovative hinder you from trying it, Base Zodiac is a solid browser game through and through.

 

Pros: 
The game is heavy graphically
There are no jargons in the game therefore you can understand and play the game on the onset
The game’s graphics are not static and provides a little change from the usual space browser games you play.

 

Cons:
The interface sidebar is cluttered
The background would affect how much the game looks like
Gameplay is as generic as they come.

Dragon Oath: New Instance Added to Expansion

Dragon Oath: New Instance Added to Expansion
“The Crusade in Swallow’s Dock”


Dragon Oath players have had a lot of content to look forward to with the expansion Age of Destiny, and perhaps the most highly anticipated event for players were the new quests located in the Swallow’s Dock. Swallow’s Dock is a new area of the Dragon Oath world where players will get to experience large scale combat on a battleship setting. Sound appealing?

 

Players are invited to join in the epic fight taking place from boat to boat. If you’re level 60 and above in Dragon Oath and have at least 2 fellow players who want to accompany you in this adventure, welcome aboard!

 

Players’ first goal will be to protect the General Leopard Hu. After saving him and defeating the Four Villains, players will escape with the General off of the ship. However, the war is just beginning. Shortly after your escape, you will be notified of an approaching army that includes exploding “Wooden Puppet” soldiers. These soldiers detonate upon being killed, and the explosion will damage surrounding targets. Brave players can attempt to pick up the pieces of wood that the “Wooden Puppets” drop right before they explode, because these pieces of wood can activate support towers that will aid in your battle. If players are successful in defeating the army while also protecting General Leopard Hu, they will proceed to the last and most difficult part of the crusade – a battle with one of the most formidable bosses in all of Dragon Oath, Fu Rong!

 

If players are able to survive the quest, they will be rewarded with a healthy amount of experience points and some of the rarest items in the game, including new “Transformation” items that will allow transforming into some of the characters in Swallow’s Dock for a whole 7 days!

 

Think you’ve got what it takes to triumph? Join the crusade in Dragon Oath now!
