Let me do a little review about Redstone.

Graphics are oldskool. Diablo series like. If you like eye candy and dont care about gameplay. This game is not for you. Its funny how games with best graphics always lacks gameplay and vice versa(most of the time). I'm actually happy with it. I HATE WoW graphics.

Quests is best to compare to with morrowind and oblivion. There are to many to count. You got a main quest that is extremely long. And which requires different levels to complete.
You got title quests that upon completion give you a title that will add something like faster city walking, monster detection attributes, dungeon map, or just simply stats. There are so many, and some are very interesting for ceratain classes. And worth it!
And you got many normal quests. That give rewards that can be really worth it. Example a lvl 100 quest that upon completion gets you to lvl103. this saves you hours of grinding. Thats to high lvl for you? There is a lvl30 quest that gives you 1 lvl and 170k gold. To many to name that are really worth it to do.

The grinding isnt boring imo. Because there are secret dungeons. Dungeon with a twist to it. Solve a puzzle, you have to use your brain. Some have a time limit even! The monster in those dungeon have increased exp and drop rate. And upon completion you get a big exp reward and sometime also gold! Example lvl80 secret dungeon gives 1 million exp and 200k gold. which lvl you up instantly! Its so worth it do. But they are limited to 2 time each 24 hours. So come to them wisely...There is only 1 class that can really solo effectivly, that would be tamer. Most classes are better off in a party. You backup each others weakpoints. And its really teamwork. I missed that so much in mmorpgs. Thank you redstone!

The community is not that bad in my opinion. I met many mature people playing. Even a couple of 40+ years.(lol)Ofcourse there always some retards/morons who you should just ignore. I made some good friends in the game. Keep in mind that there is a large group of japanse/chinese playing, because redstone is a very populair game there already. Some speak english
others dont. Most are very nice guys, they really try to talk english. Gives me a good laugh sometimes!

Each class has a different set of skill. Most skill have some sort of purpose and are not useless. Its true that it will take a while before you max out a skill. But the lvl limit is 999 which is enough to max out all skills. Highest lvl on jp server is lvl 630 or so. There are areas with lvl700 monsters. So given enough time you can get close to cap. Some skills have awesome visual effects also. Also the game has the most unqiue class I ever seen. you can play as a fat ugly little princess, who cries alot to gather power. And then you can transform into a beautiful witch! If your friend has a flying carpet and you dont? no promblem she can transform into someone else his backpack and travel with him.

A guild have many features. As a guild increases in power it also lvlup. Then the guildmaster gets guild points he can invest in many things like stats,skills, etc. All members in that guild will benefit from these bonuses and get stronger. This effect can be huge. You can have your owns guildhall a place where everyone can meet and make plans. In that building there are npc that sell diffrent things. Also pets and statues get collected in here. You can set it so that everyone can visit your guildhall and showoff. There are also guild quests where you get honor points from, which can be used to make the guild stronger also. And there are guildwars. Which is PvP. you challenge a other guild This is teamwork at its best. I heard from japanses players the pvp is excellent. Because there are maps were 100+ people can fit in. A huge war!

The items are interesting to say the least. They have very strange prefixes and suffixes that exist. Some very rare and usefull. Like power fixed 120. Which means your luck will be fixed at 120. If your a mage and you just need some power for armor stuff. this will save you loads of stat points. This is just one example, there are hundred of options. There are also unique and set items but they are very rare.

Now I will also name some bad points. Everyone is suffering from disconnections. Some mild others hard. They are trying to fix it.
There are still some bugs that need to be fixed, nothing major though. Like quests bugs or text bugs. The world is huge. If you have to walk everything it takes alot of time. You can choose to get carpet from premium shop. to boost youre movement. But a other time saver is a priest. He can call you to him. In the beginning it seems very confusing. Your in a huge city and dont know where to go. Give it time and it will grow on you.

If you got more question let me know. Ill try to awnser them.

My nickname = Omni
You can whisper me if you want. If I got time ill help you powerlevel abit, also give you information if you got question about something.

Cu in game!
